    My theory includes signing your own players to big long term deals. We are now only looking at the four best teams, then adding Oakland and Tampa in a different part of your argument? If another team could duplicate Tampa's success, they sure haven't been able to for two decades now, so it isn't that easy. Washington had the highest paid starting pitching staff, two of whom were free agents. I doubt they regret either signing. And, four years would be great, so I don't know what you are arguing.... As for LA..... They've had a pretty high payroll, and been a pretty great team. Are we only going by one year? You agree this front office should sign a guy to the exact kind of deal I want, why are you arguing? Also, Corbin produced 4.8 fwar last year.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    A bad team should absolutely take Jax. They have nothing to lose, and a starting pitcher to gain.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I thought I was clear. You can't argue they need flexibility and that they should not spend that when they have it. No one is saying spend like the Yankees, and not consider a budget. As for Darvish, he would have been the Twins best pitcher in the second half last year, and would be in the roster now. I'm guessing that now that he's healthy, he'll be good for a couple years. As for the specific example, we can play that game all day with examples of going cheap every year, year after year, not working out. I'm not sure how that's better.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure Washington regrets Corbin.... For the right player, you have to go more than three years.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Where did I say Cole? If they don't sign a great pitcher this year, they failed. They literally offered a long term deal to Darvish...
  6. Mike Sixel
    Are you arguing they couldn't find one good pitcher to bring in last off season for more than a year? That it is a good idea to have one starter going into a year you expect to compete?
  7. Mike Sixel
    They need two or three.... They have fifty million in budget. Seriously. Never, ever, mention financial flexibility again if you don't think they should actuality sign great players. Because it is a meaningless phrase at that point, other than cover for ownership.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Very few people hit .300 anymore. Imo, he'll have to develop some power as the average drops. Also, that defense....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Do people really want random guys more than Cave? They shouldn't.
  10. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to say the Twins fixed Lynn, given the actual outcomes he produced. I think all anyone is saying is that we don't have sufficient evidence to believe they know how to fix a pitcher. There just isn't much data at this point.
  11. Mike Sixel
    If they were great at it, they probably wouldn't have gone into this off season with one starting pitcher on the roster....
  12. Mike Sixel
    They'll have to start using some first round picks on pitching.... Tampa does.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Been trying to get this team to trade for Gray since they didn't draft him....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I take back my earlier post, they need 5 open spots, right? two starting pitchers, a catcher, a first baseman, and a RP.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I guess we will just differ on whether helping Odo get better proves they can do this again or not. And the utter failure of Perez, who they targeted, liked, signed, and tried to fix, is any indication or not. Oh, and how is the Romero work going for this FO? All I said was that the jury was still out, given how little evidence we have at this point......
  16. Mike Sixel
    They need to leave four spots open for free agents.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They also tried with Martin Perez. And several others. They have one starting pitcher on the roster this front office brought in. I'd argue the jury is still out at this point. They have fifty million in space, they better use it. And not try to get cute only. A flyer on the fifth guy? Sure. But a world series team can not take that chance with their number three or four.
  18. Mike Sixel
    this would be true of any SP trade target....we just have to hope.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The red Sox win the world series, and brought back the team.... It doesn't always work out. Teams don't always get better, or even stay the same. That out of the way....I predict a decent sized trade of multiple prospects for a pitcher with at least two years of control left. I'd consider sending Buxton and change to Atlanta for a AAA pitcher the FO loves and their AAA third baseman, if they sign a third baseman.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I wanted Taylor Rogers a reliever a year earlier, so no. As for Gaterol, I have no idea what he'll be. It's an intriguing plan, I'm not in love with the constant need to reload the starting veteran pitchers.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    And the first 4 months of next season? And, the other two spots in the rotation besides Berrios and Odorizzi (who is only signed for 1 more year) once Gaterol is up?
  22. Mike Sixel
    You would not trade Lanarch 1:1 for Boyd? I can't see how the Tigers take less than that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they are the 12th best team in the country. I'm ok with others thinking they are.....they've played two good teams, and are 1-1 in those games.
  24. Mike Sixel
    The Astros and Yankees didn't start those years with only 1 veteran under contract. No, I can't find such an example, that's my entire point. A team should never go into a year with 1 starting pitcher under control for more than 1 year, like this FO did last year. And, if they only sign 1 pitcher to a long term deal this year, they'll have, most likely, two openings again next year. It is not a path to sustainable winning. That's my point.

    Rooker is 25. His clock is not relevant.
