    Archer and Bundy were number 5 starters.....you really think the replacements wont' be better?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Oh, sure, I wasn't suggested a 1:1 deal....just what I'd target in a deal.
  3. Mike Sixel
    If his wrist is healed, he's probably a 2 - 2.5 WAR player. Not great, but above average. If his wrist isn't the only issue with his hitting last year, they'll need a new option.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Because he's bad, and they let like 15 guys go to save money this off season, passing on all the great SS that only cost money. That said, I think this is a reload year for them for some reason, and they'll spend HUGE next year (ohtani and ?).
  5. Mike Sixel
    He was actually good last year, even though he was used wrong. Frankly, given you want him rushing the QB every play, I don't get the 3-4 alignment, but I'm no technician.....I bet they keep both him and Zadarius. If 2 of the 3 injured DBs from last year's draft are even decent next year, the D looks very different with competent ILBs are using Hunter correctly. Very different.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Largely unimportant, IMO, but if AK is healthy, he or Gallo (though I'd put Gallo 2nd) will against RHP, IMO. Farmer against LHP
  7. Mike Sixel
    They were on pace for 90 wins when the injury bug decimated them so much they were playing their 6-8th best OFers all at the same time.......It isn't "hope" that they won't have that many again, IMO. Also, Bundy and Archer are replaced by two legit #3 (maybe number 2) pitchers, how is that the same?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Gordon isn't a SS, but Farmer going there did immediately pop into my head. Dodgers have TWO catchers in the top 100 prospect list on Fangraphs, btw...... I don't see the Twins doing this, but I'd certainly consider it given their SS "depth" right now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Apparently the GM didn't mention either current starting ILB when talking options..... And was pretty clear Cook was not staying at this price
  10. Mike Sixel
    87 wins.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. The only way you can deal him is for a LATE pick.....and even then, I doubt it.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Dalvin's agent posting things on Twitter that sure hint he expects not to be in MN anymore....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Projections are for teams to lose about 50-70% of their local tv revenue, even after going to on demand local market streaming! Not to mention ESPN losing money like a sieve. It is possible that for the first time in decades, teams will make less money than they used to on tv.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Neither of these indicate the bullpen is a PRIORITY. They indicate they are going to take a flyer on two guys that might be good. If they aren't, they won't be on the roster. I'm not sure how this is hard to understand.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I don't like this either. And, it isn't that they CAN'T stick at SS, it is there is only ONE SS on the field at a time. And, SS and CF are often the most athletic, so they can move around to a new position. This is just a really bad/odd way to think of elite athletes, as "positionless".
  16. Mike Sixel
    To be clear....it is not a deal I would sign. He's a superstar, but that's A LOT of money to pay for a player in their 30s for nearly the entire deal. I would rather sign Soto if I was them.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They're just spreading out the money.
  18. Mike Sixel
    My parents would be so proud. Great community here!
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't trust either side to do well at fixing the game. Sixty percent of teams don't know if they are getting paid from cable this year!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Or, they'd have traded for more guys, but they'd have been in the playoffs nearly every year..... Which I thought was sustainable success.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Much more worried about Henriquez than who plays first and DH at this point, given all the options. Obviously, a healthy AK would be great....
  22. Mike Sixel
    That's how every team runs. Should they have sat around and done nothing? Of course not. If they had been winners, we'd be looking at 6 years of playoffs, that sounds sustained to me....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Somehow suggesting, as the OP and Tweet do, that getting a guy for 6+ years of control (Ryan) isn't sustainable, or isn't a good idea (which is the implication for some reason) is silliness.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Is anyone arguing this is sustainable? Should they just not have any pitchers the last two years?
  25. Mike Sixel
    10 years ago is a completely different game. People didn't swing for the fences, and pitchers threw like 93......
