    Is Kluber better than anyone on the roster? He's depth at this point, isn't he? I mean, look at the deal he got. It is clear teams don't think all that much of him.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. 1000000%.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I never said they were...
  4. Mike Sixel
    There is a study out there showing that teams that trade more often get better faster than teams that are afraid to lose trades and sit pat..... I'd trade him, but I really don't think they will.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Sucks. I hope he recovers somehow
  6. Mike Sixel
    Agreed
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure what any of that has to do with them now not spending, which is what we were talking about. Who are they going to spend money on now?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Who else is out there to sign that is better than what they have on the roster?
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure Next Year they'll sign a big time free agent....... Not.

    I'd have gone 2/40 easy. But it's clear the owners are pocketing money this year without a trade for an expensive player.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I suggest watching every episode of that show. Truly amazing tv.
  12. Mike Sixel
    While I don't agree with a lot in this thread..... The owners will never spend like fans want. No FO ever has, that's not on the FO. As for spending, they don't always spend near the middle, and right now I see no way they will this coming year. All that money goes into their pocket, never to be seen by players or staff again. I have little sympathy for ownership given the year to year way they run the payroll. But, I don't expect it to ever be better. So I usually criticize decisions of the front office, because those can change.
  13. Mike Sixel
    It's ownership. Every FO has operated the same.

    They have four drafts they could have found a pitcher. Some of that had to be used on hitting. They traded part of that for Gray, but that doesn't count. They traded for Ryan. Does anyone think TB thought Ryan would be this good, for 2.5 months of a hitter? I would hope they had one more established starter by now....but no one trusts a guy that debuted last year, so that's actually three drafts (since the last three don't count, as no one is up from the last two, and apparently we don't trust rookies, which, given the data, makes sense. Less than half of rookie starters are good more than a year or two later.....). So, how many do you expect in three years? I was hoping for 1.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Of the three, Martin is the only one in that last that "needs to prove something." Prielipp hasn't even pitched yet....I have no idea how he's on this list. Severino and Javier could be on this list. And, as someone said above, Jordy B (not even going to try to spell his name).
  16. Mike Sixel
    How many pitchers would you expect them to have "fixed" in 6 years of drafting (no player taken in the last two years is in the majors)? I'm guessing you'll see Ober, Varland, and SWR in the majors this year. Dobnak, before getting hurt, was exactly this pitcher. We all forget how good he was two years ago. Then there is Ryan. So many injuries the last few years.....Oh, and they traded one of those guys for Gray. Which clearly reduces the pipeline. This doesn't count Jax or Duran in the bullpen.
  17. Mike Sixel
    do what? like, what is your actual issue?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Facts, what are they good for?
  19. Mike Sixel
    wut? Is this a real post?
  20. Mike Sixel
    We really have nothing left to talk about?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Kepler over .300? I'll take the under.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't know..... Three years of Polanco (above average 2B signed to a good deal) Trade Kepler for a prospect in the 4-10 range for Boston. A guy that should fill the back of your rotation for 6 years (Varland). For one year of a player? Heck, they can likely deal Polanco for 2 good prospects if they really want. I'd do that if I'm Boston all day. Three years of Polanco and 6 of Varland is a lot of certainty compared to getting a couple highly rated prospects. That said, if Boston is punting the next couple years, I'd rather get Lee and Varland than Polanco and Varland. But I think people are over-estimating what you can get for 1 year of a player (unless you are dealing with a team that is certain to extend him, like SD or Seattle or NYY).
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't think 11 MM is the issue, it's three years for a RP that was hurt the last two.
  24. Mike Sixel
    snowflakes? Ugh.
  25. Mike Sixel
    At this point? I probably go with the young guys. This roster isn't constructed to win it all, I don't think. May was well see what they have. Also, guys with options allow them to send guys up and down when there are issues, whereas these guys don't. But, if they sign a couple, I'm also ok with that.
