    It's a huge risk, if you think a second is huge. That said, if I'm SF, I want a legit backup next year.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    It would be a waste to use his speed and arm in the OF, along with his hitting? Speechless.

    Arraez isn't close to MVP. Also, they aren't overloaded....they literally used 9 OFers last year. I'm guessing he's going to turn 2 with Polanco, who is a better overall player than Arraez (O, D, running all taken into account). As for the SP, they are also not overloaded. I'd be shocked if we don't see Varland, Ober, and SWR all start games this year.

    I thought we were discussing Lopez! You have to give up quality to get quality. If you only trade crap prospects, good luck.

    I don't know if we can draw any conclusions from this off-season other than the FO wants MUCH better depth at SP and OF. They never want a number five or AAAA starting pitcher pitching this year. They don't want to use their sixth thru eighth OF at the same time. Everything else is a guess.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Same.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Not with CC here.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not punting last year is the reasoning. Should they have just not tried to win last year?
  9. Mike Sixel
    He put up a 3.75era last year. He was in the top fifty in fwar.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they misjudged last year. Their injury rate was insane, and the closer was awful at the beginning. Stuff happens.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He previously kicked out his earlier girlfriend and child when she caught him sleeping with another woman.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I laughed.
  13. Mike Sixel
    To wonder about isn't the tone. These kinds of "questions" are really comments.
  14. Mike Sixel
    But you can't know that at the time. If you live in fear of making any moves, just find another job. Judging moves in hindsight is incredibly unfair to those making them.

    Every movie I recall seeing last year: https://mikesixel.com/2022-movie-reviews/

    The idea that if you trade a prospect that works out....you automatically lose the trade is silly. They got a good year from Gray. They are likely to get another. Even if Petty turns into a number 2/3....they got a good return that held much less risk than Petty.

    There is a very good article on Fangraphs about Lopez and what happened last year. Makes me more confident.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/pablo-lopez-has-no-2-starter-potential-in-2023-if-he-can-make-a-slight-change/
  18. Mike Sixel
    I guess they could have not made trades and punted last year, but why? No matter what this front office does, there will be an article ripping them for doing it.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess most pitchers do better against bad hitters. I'm not sure your point.
  20. Mike Sixel
    They also won't be starting Archer and Bundy all year. They are also much deeper when injury occurs than last year. Also, Farmer and Vazquez say hi
  21. Mike Sixel
    I see you dismissed defense. He's about a league average player when you take into account defense.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Farmer at third?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think the floor is 100% higher. The ceiling is about the same. It is all about health (and as in all sports, some luck).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Larnach, in small sample sizes, has a TON of defensive runs saved. People on this site really need to look at the stats on him on other sites...... As for the OP, this isn't hard at all. Gallo in left, Buxton in Center, Kepler in right. Larnach at DH. Kiriloff at first. Celestino in AAA. Gordon on the bench. Taylor on the bench, but starting in right against lefties.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Um, wut? I'm optimistic about this team, but other than SP, I don't see how they are better anywhere other than SS at this point. They might be.....but I don't know how anyone can say that with any certainty.
