    I'm the only volunteer at the food shelf this afternoon.... So I'll miss the live version of this thread for a bit..... I'm not sure if that is good or bad...
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm assuming nothing either way, but to answer the question, I will be disappointed if they add nothing else. I also believe it sends a message to players that this team will never go all in, making some free agents less likely to sign here.
  3. Mike Sixel
    This does concern me.

    They literally released four relief pitchers last week. How good do you think they think it is?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Which is it? 200 innings is super important to be a good pitcher, or not? Because that is the point I was refuting....
  6. Mike Sixel
    18 out of how many hundred starters? Ok, no one wasn't right, but if that is an important hurdle for a pitcher, Berrios must not be good.... It's almost like there was a point....
  7. Mike Sixel
    No one throws 200 innings a year anymore. If they are trying to dump him, they are doing a very bad job. The Pirates aren't trading their awesome RP that is under control for years.

    I don't think the word expendable is a good word. He has value.....if that value can be converted into more value (which includes taking advantage of the banked wins this year), then he should be traded. If not, no, he should not be.

    My theory is that team was good, not awesome. If you lose in the playoffs every year, it is extreme luck, which seems unlikely. They played in a bad division, which helped their record. I hope this FO makes moves that improve the team when they have a wide open window.

    https://twitter.com/jjcoop36/status/1156232160845729797?s=09 It's also about context. You can reasonably count on good prospects, but how many playoff wins do they have from not trading? There aren't likely many years where this franchise will be on pace for 95 wins.

    That's what people said about the beginning of the M and M era. There are no guarantees of health. This team has one legit starting pitcher under contract for next year....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Concur. But if a real ace were available, I'd go far in terms of prospects. Because an ace is almost never available. In the draft, I'm constantly told it is better to draft hitters and trade for pitching..... And that that is the Twins plan. Let's see.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Good points. Even if they did burn a year, you gotta play to win when you have a chance. It's not likely they will consistently be in this position.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If they think he can help this team in the playoffs, that should be 100x more important than a year of control. Theret no guarantee next year will look like thiy year
  15. Mike Sixel
    For the record, is anyone down on giving up Diaz? I'm not sure I get your post. Help me out.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but that's not what Nick said.

    You think every team passed on Keuchel, but will sign Odo if there is a QO?
  19. Mike Sixel
    They need to find three or four starting pitchers next off season.... Given their fiscal restraint, would you rather downgrade first, or spend less on pitching? They will likely need relief pitching also.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's like margin of error doesn't exist all of a sudden.... But let's set aside if he's replacement level, or close... He's not good. He's ok. Which was the actual point of the post that started this tangent. I hope the find someone better, or much cheaper so they upgrade someplace else.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Actually, one fWAR is replacement level, unless you think it is that precise over a full year..... As for his defense, that is what people said about Mauer. First base defense is just not that hard to find.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Yes. That whole series is just hot takes.... Even though he often says teams have guys coming on, so they aren't really a problem...

    They've also cut salary, even after signing players to extensions. But, I do believe they will add players this week. We'll see
  25. Mike Sixel
    Of course they can afford him. It's a choice. But I'd bet they don't acquire him.
