    Well, we now know it won't be Kiriloff. Just wait though, in six years, when he's traded in his last year of control, it will be worth it.
  2. Mike Sixel
    A: Injuries suck. B: I see they are being super aggressive with the call up. When is this team going to be aggressive? It wasn't at the break, that's for sure. I keep being told "just wait, they'll make a big move when they are serious contenders". Like, if not the trade deadline, and if not now, when?

    He'd be the best or 2nd best pitcher on this roster right now. And, he'd be here past this year. They'll have to sign at least 2 starters, if not three, this off season.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I, of course, have never said they should spend like the top teams. Not once. But sure, put this out there.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Where do you expect to get three good pitchers next year, if you don't sign good ones? Also, Yu has been good the second half this year, isn't on the IL, and isn't suspended. He's also under contract past this year, so one spot would be filed for next year....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Congrats. It has been a fun year so far.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They made money last year, revenue is up, and more than fifty million is coming off the books. Those are all publicly available facts. Do you have any evidence otherwise?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Those comments were not aimed at your comments at all. Others seem to care if he was also taking PEDs, and I don't get why that matters. But I've made my points. He cheated. It is ridiculously easy to get help from team doctors. He didn't. That raises some obvious questions..... And pointed to a lack of some kind of innocence. He's on the wrong side of thirty .He hasn't pitched a full year in three years.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm asking why it matters if he was also taking PEDs. He took a banned substance. He didn't work with the team, which is super easy to do. People defending him are hoping, not really thinking about the fact he didn't work with team doctors, paid to work with him....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I really don't get the PED distinction. Why does that matter at all?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Forbes is an estimate. Also, they can just sell it if they ever need money....... They clear tens of millions off the books this year. Pineda. Odorrizi. Reed. Hughes. Gibson. Cron. Castro. Schoop. Perez. That's off the top of my head.
  12. Mike Sixel
    He'll miss 39 games next year, according to Fangraphs.
  13. Mike Sixel
    For those wanting to sign him....what do you do for the first 8-9 starts he'll miss? Start another rookie besides whomever is the fifth starter?
  14. Mike Sixel
    This team has fifty or more million it can add to the budget, and still make a profit. Y'all have to stop listening to the owners about payroll.... Or not. Up to you. But they have plenty of budget.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Most of those you named aren't league average.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Hard to have innings if you miss year after year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Because Pineda isn't in rookie ball. He's getting older and breaking down. It couldn't be more different.
  18. Mike Sixel
    How old was Polanco? Did he miss three years of playing a full season? Not even a little comparable.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Playing Devils advocate, you don't know this for certain. It may be true it may not be true. To be clear, the substance is banned. Taking it is cheating.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I doubt they sign one of those guys. They should not sign Pineda. When did he last play a full year? And he knowingly took a banned substance, screwing the team this year. Perez is a number five starter. Mid market teams should not pay that kind of player more than the minimum. The have to lock up Odorrizi. No way you go into the off season needing three pitchers. Good luck to the FO, they are going to need it. Of course, they chose this path last off season, by not acquiring any longer term players, I have no sympathy at all.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If he knew it was banned, does it matter why?
  22. Mike Sixel
    He took a banned substance..... Does it matter why? He hurt the team. Does it matter why, other than to keep himself alive, is there a good reason?
  23. Mike Sixel
    So now they probably won't re sign two of the free agents. And shouldn't sign Perez. Ouch. This is gonna hurt in the post season. And next year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Recency bias. He was great early, now bad. All we recall is the recent stuff. If the plan includes Perez next year, I'll be disappointed.
  25. Mike Sixel
    which clearly they didn't feel he was doing....so why call him up now?
