    I both like and hate this post so much....
  2. Mike Sixel
    "has the potential" is about 10000x different than "is better than"......
  3. Mike Sixel
    Kershaw is not going anywhere. Paddock? No chance. The Padres are loaded on the farm. You'd have to trade two MLB starters and a good minor league player to even start a conversation. No chance he's being traded. He's going to be in his prime when they are good. Seriously bad take. The other two? Possible, but not in love with Archer at all.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Gaterol, who has zero MLB starts, is better than any of them? Wow.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what this means re: my post.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think people forget this. Many teams did not want him at four million..... Those saying the money doesn't matter, can you really say that with certainty given this team's history?
  7. Mike Sixel
    We're only talking defense here?
  8. Mike Sixel
    What did you base this knowledge of the future on?
  9. Mike Sixel
    It's all about the budget. If signing him stops them from signing a great pitcher, no way. If signing him has no effect on off season and during the season deals, I'm indifferent
  10. Mike Sixel
    He's 22 in AAA.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    I bet he gets at least two years, at least twelve million.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but I tried to get a different answer..... mike sixel 2:17 I know players usually take the most money, but should Jason Castro take a bit less to stay in MN, since he'll likely play less than elsewhere, and keep his body more healthy? Or is that 100% backward, and he should go where he plays more and gets more money? Craig Edwards 2:17 I think he would probably just like to play more and get paid more and presumably the team that offers him the most money plans to do so. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/craig-edwards-fangraphs-chat-10-24-2019/
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agree. But if they roll the dice on a different veteran, with the plan for Rortverdt and, or, Jeffers, to be up at some point, I'm ok with that. Not thrilled, but ok.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Dobnak is so good he gets paid twice! * Those number jibe with what I've seen elsewhere, give or take....I'd really like an experienced catcher behind Garver also. * I think, and hopefully you see this as humor.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on all of this, which is why I'm in on not bringing Cron back.....Cruz is so good that he partly makes up for the drop off in starting a rookie in place of Cron, then next year if Cruz is gone (or at least not as good) that rookie is no longer a rookie..... And I can't see how they keep Rosario around, not with as many minor league OFers as they have, not at what arbitration salaries will require as time goes on. Probably next year, but not after that I'd guess.
  16. Mike Sixel
    what if it takes four years? I agree there is no chance they sign Cole, and I bet the Nats extend Strasburg.
  17. Mike Sixel
    when he first appeared, or came up to stay and star? Those are two very different things.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Great series!
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's not a question of can they, but will they. I'm guessing one medium sized trade.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I thought you had posted that they should trade from their surplus (not elite) prospects for a SP (not one year, that part is different).....so maybe I confused you with someone else. Kind of hard to keep it all straight.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree. He looks like he could be an elite CF....... I have no idea what his future is. None.
  22. Mike Sixel
    You also pointed out how bad the Samardzija trade was, even though it is exactly the kind of trade you think they should make, so I'm not really sure what you think. Forgive Van and I if we are confused at this point.
  23. Mike Sixel
    So you think he's not good because of a twelve at bat stretch, but you think he's a valuable trade commodity?
  24. Mike Sixel
    We can play the game all day where we point out bad decisions.....but there are certainly good trades also. I'm pretty sure Houston is happy with their deals.....I'm pretty sure KC is happy they won the WS after being aggressive (even if those trades didn't work like anyone thought they would). In one post you say the Twins should make trades and sign free agents, given where they are now, and then you post this. It's really hard to figure out what you actually want them to do. It's clear you don't want them to trade their best prospects, but I'm not sure your example is that. Your example is trading a few well regarded, but not the best, prospects, and it not working. So, I'm not sure what you are proposing. Simien was the Sox's 6th rated prospect, not some star prospect......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ah, yes, there are many examples of teams trying to buy a good team failing, just as you can look at the Pirates, Reds, and many other teams that have spent decade(s) trying to only build from within and failing. It's not the strategy, it's the execution of the strategy, imo. Teams can be built many ways, but it's player development, scouting, luck, and a willingness to be aggressive when you are a real contender, that seem to be the keys to getting to the playoffs and winning.
