    100% this.

    No, it can't be simple. Everyone is out to get "us" and screw "us" over.

    It's not on the red Sox. They aren't wrong for doing this. If they don't like his medicals, the deal needs changing or cancelling. That's how sports deals work. I think this reinforces what some of us thought about Gaterol and his long term value.....

    The Ryu ship sailed, so I don't get this......they couldn't get Ryu, apparently.....

    What ace is out there right now? they still have plenty of prospects to deal at the deadline, if there is a great pitcher out there. Plenty.

    Certainly unexpected. Four years of a guy that has been good or better in the majors for six years of a guy that hasn't really pitched in the majors. It seems to make sense. As chief said, if you won't pay in free agency, this is the price you pay.

    Motley Fool loves ISRG.

    Wish I had cash. Would have made four percent yesterday.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    true, imo. Players are more than willing to cheat to win.
  10. Mike Sixel
    the post said figure out who is good, and trade the rest.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    why is anyone trading for a pitcher that no one thinks will be impact? That part of this argument never makes sense to me....
  12. Mike Sixel
    35-50% is a nearly 50% increase in odds....that would be massive. Massive.
  13. Mike Sixel
    It has pretty much been the philosophy of this FO not to draft pitching early.......

    I think a couple AAA minor league deals for veterans will come......and nothing else. I know a lot of people think they can just trade for pitchers at the deadline, but they passed on that opportunity last deadline. And, not many great starters are actually dealt every deadline. 2-4 at most. I'm not sure it is a slam dunk they'll do so if they need to. Right now they are set up for 90-94 wins, I'd think. 95 is the tough spot for the O/U for me. If Buxton is healthy and the young pitchers don't implode, I like the over. If Berrios or Odo gets hurt, or if the young guys aren't good, I like the under....... The starting pitching is high variance right now....

    Isn't signing Bailey signing a pitcher just to sign a pitcher? Not one person has argued sign someone just to sign someone. Why do people keep throwing up straw men? What track record is there in Minnesota, in three plus years, at this point? I mean, it could all work out, which is pretty much the OPs argument.... Or it might not, which doesn't seem acknowledged.

    Fangraphs estimates this is a five WAR gain. Wow.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Surprised and pleased.

    10th in the final poll. I would never have predicted that.....never. Nice job everyone. 11th in the too early poll for next year on CBS. wowsers.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Yes. Yes they have.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. We are talking about multiple years here, right? So, I don't know, Houston when they first got good? I really try hard to have a conversation with you in good faith......Boston did. So did the Cubs. Just not last year, because they already had good / great pitching.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If we judge them based on other team's actions, I assume you would condemn them for not dealing for starting pitching at the last deadline, like the successful teams have?
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's been four years, and they've not added one long term pitching starter to the rotation. You can view that as good, or bad. Up to you. This isn't about one year, never has been. If the other teams are moving backward, what better time to move forward?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Probably monetarily, but he may get to play for a better team now......
  24. Mike Sixel
    As you know, each individual decision can be correct, while the whole can be wrong. The team needs pitching, and it failed to get good pitching. It's like a team in the NFL drafting a QB in every round, because that was the best player available at every pick. Individually you could justify each decision, but not the collection of decisions. You can also have a situation where the deck is stacked against you. It's their job to make it so that players want to come here, whether the deck is stacked against them or not. This off season 4. At some point, if they can't convince any expensive FA to come here, they've failed at fixing the deck to be more in their favor.

    Longoria? The other team would have to pay Minnesota, and send prospects. He's done.
