    Good luck to all of them!

    Of course, the year before it was the Astros trading 3 of their top 11 for Verlander.....and then in the off season trading for another SP......so I think 1 year of trends might not be a true indicator.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    they don't have much help coming, so they should wait for the future to be better? I'm not sure I understand this position. Help me understand..... Because they are projected to win around 95 games this year, and you don't see much help for next year in the minors, so, why wait?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why would one of the (now) favorites for the ALCS sell? I'm baffled by this post.
  5. Mike Sixel
    He was not far from top 100 in 2018 on Fangraphs, IIRC.....but not sure before that (and not this year).
  6. Mike Sixel
    three guys in Detroit's top 10 seems like a good price to me edit:ninja'd by your response!
  7. Mike Sixel
    If he hit 60s, I stand corrected.......also, sort of proves the point that some guys should be traded for actual MLB players, and not counted on. Of course, he can still be a legit MLB player, but his stuff isn't GREAT, and he was hurt for some time....
  8. Mike Sixel
    You get great players by trading great prospects, that's how it generally works......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Astros sent number 5 and 15 for Cole.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Astros sent their number 3, 9, and 11 prospects for Verlander.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    You can set any price you want, but it's negotiated......so, not sure I get your post? This post also touches on the relative value of the available (?) players, which is kind of important in this work....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Outside Twin's Daily, I don't recall most websites loving Gonsalves........but it should remind everyone why "untouchable" or "can't fail" or "worst case he's helpful" just isn't true....
  13. Mike Sixel
    They can make the team better w/o giving up their top 7-10 prospects? Also, this is a bird in hand situation....everything is going well, and the players are healthy. That doesn't happen every year, how many years were Mauer and Morneau healthy and great together? If you aren't willing to strike this year, you never will be.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If I was a betting man, I think they'll trade for Mike Minor, and not one of the big names being thrown around.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, though Lewis and Kiriloff need to return something great, with control, to be dealt. And, Gaterol better not be their best pitching prospect, or this pipeline has issues. As stated above, if you wait and wait to draft pitching, you better be willing to trade for it.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Wow, great stuff. Thanks
  17. Mike Sixel
    As I said above, great writing and acting.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I have doubted Diaz, but I continue to hope he proves me wrong
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's a stupid old saying, as people that understand math would never use average that way, but I get your point. We probably won't agree here.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    did you read the math article? Bunting there decreases your odds of scoring by 5%, give or take. Seems odd, but it does.
  21. Mike Sixel
    There are times to bunt late in games, maybe. But here is some math (note, this is not a game thread, so you were not promised no math, sir or madam). https://www.danblewett.com/run-expectancy-bunting-bad/

    If the Twins knew Rogers was going to be this good, they would have taken him earlier. His success has nothing to do with Jay's failure. Jay, Gordon, Stewart, were Ryan's last three number 1 picks, before that? Buxton, Levi Michael, Alex Wimmers, Gibson, Hunt, Guteriezz, Hicks..... So, three legit ML players out of ten. Jay, Gordon and Stewart were all top 10 picks (meaning the ML team was bad.....). (One of the three good ones he traded for Murphy.....) and maybe Gordon turns out. Miss on one? Sure. Miss on two? Maybe ok. Miss on all three in a row? That's not good enough, if your strategy is to NOT sign big time FAs, not trade top prospects for players, and to build in the draft and IFA......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Late next year for Gaterol? I hope not. Because with their lack of depth, that means a lot of starts by lesser pitchers. If Balazovic is dominant for two months, promote him again. He could be up next year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Which is why I said good luck, because it gets explained over and over, and casinos still make money.
  25. Mike Sixel
    People don't get that things don't even out the way they think. That's how casinos make money....
