    It's their job to fix this. If they can't sign one expensive free agent in four years, if their largest deal is for Jason Castro, then they aren't succeeding at party of their job. Note, I said part....

    I've been clear for three years, add good long term pitching. They've failed for three years now. Darvish, Corbin, one of six or seven players this year. Stroman and Gallen last trade deadline. Want more names?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of the end result at all. But if they won't trade for a guy, and won't sign an expensive player, he's better than nothing. Hopefully. It's also likely he's terrible again.

    How about signing one big time FA. Not all in. One. One big time FA. Or, even making one big time trade? one. Not trading the whole farm. Almost no one is arguing that. Really. We don't care what the FO says about adding impact players or not. We care if they actually do add impact players. In a year where they had budget room, and it was the best FA pitching class in decades, and, coincidentally, they needed to add pitching. As for the WS, I want them to be favored in the playoffs because they have a better team. If they lose, sometimes that happens. But I have little interest in winning 90+ games and then getting dominated in the first round of the playoffs as everyone would predict given the rosters. Beating up on the worst division in baseball brings me very little at this point. I understand others disagree, but I don't really find it all that interesting to beat up on two -three of the worst teams in the game.

    What they did for him? They've under paid him relative to what he's given them, because they can. This post is mind boggling.

    Love this post
  7. Mike Sixel
    I admit to being pleasantly surprised at this news. Cool.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think that's fair....but the options are dwindling at this point.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Disagreeing it is a failure is different than saying what for 9 months to decide.....those are two very different things. Frankly, I'm disappointed this is on the front page. Make an argument that it isn't a failure, sure. But say that we should use post hoc logic to judge decisions? That's not a good take at all.
  10. Mike Sixel
    that's in the article....and it's the only one announced so far. Which, as has been said, is unusual.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Help me understand, are we not to judge the off season until after the season? If so, that's no way to judge decisions. You can make bad decisions, and things can still work out.....doesn't mean you should repeat those decisions. Seriously, if you drive drunk and don't get hurt, it wasn't a successful decision. So, help me understand. 1. Are you arguing you can only judge things post hoc (which is awful logic)?
  12. Mike Sixel
    People realize the 1960s are fifty years in the past, right? This team has claimed to be in on Cubans all the time, and not signed any in decades.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The moderators deserve a ton of credit for the tone of the site.
  14. Mike Sixel
    The top three could really be in any order, and I wouldn't argue. I prefer Berrios, partly because they have Lewis in the minors....along with lots of corner OFers. But, the contracts Polanco and Kepler signed really up their value......
  15. Mike Sixel
    They've said Chalmers has the ability, but there is a lot of downside risk and probability. Iirc
  16. Mike Sixel
    Given that he hasn't signed, I doubt either team is offering close to the $100MM he's asking for. I have no idea what will happen here.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    No, it's not. Everyone knew they would try to add pitching. It's not even close to the same thing. I do agree with the last part though. I don't think they should lay out their plans in any kind of detail.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Then why does he keep typing it? Of course the other parts matter, but if that's not his point, he should stop typing it over and over.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The players do not make too much money. Either they get it, or the owners.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It is the job of the FO to fix that. And, I'm guessing if they bid the most more often, they'll get someone to come....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I would not have signed Donaldson if they paid that much for a pitcher
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not all five, one of the five. Or the money goes to the owners. Players or owners. I'd rather they add players.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Is Jason Castro the biggest free agent deal for this FO? In four off seasons?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Necessary and sufficient are two different things.... People are saying pitching is necessary, not sufficient.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Yes. That's a terrible trade for Pittsburg.
