    It's a pattern. If it wasn't a pattern, it would be different.... That said, it is way too early to judge this off season yet....way too early
  2. Mike Sixel
    Like whom in trade? Because there aren't many good pitchers on bad teams, not that will be available
  3. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't....I said that is what it would cost..... You can't be serious. Chapmann is cheaper than Buxton, healthier, and better. And has another year of control.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why would Oakland do this? Chapmann costs less than Buxton, and has an extra year of control. He's never been hurt, and he's better than Buxton. Buxton, Lewis, and the SP in the minors the As most want....that's what it would cost.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I agree with your fiancee.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I like the idea of Mussels being the name, not so sure about the execution...
  7. Mike Sixel
    The post I responded to said that any takes that Lewis MIGHT NOT stick at short were fan takes. They clearly aren't ONLY fan takes. That was the discussion..... I think the jury is still out. It also depends on the progress of other SS in the system, and Buxton's health, IMO. As for trading for a top 25 or so player, with multiple years of control left.....um....not happening.
  8. Mike Sixel
    well, if you think those guys will be better hitters than Rosario has ever been, I can see why don't want to trade them....since Chapman has outhit Eddie....
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing Kiriloff in June or so, with a placeholder brought in to start the year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    In their last writeup, they say most scouts think he can stick at SS, which was NOT THE CASE a year ago......https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-41-prospects-minnesota-twins/ again, not a fan take.
  11. Mike Sixel
    skeptical is not the same as "won't".....btw. I've never seen him say he was confident Lewis would stick at SS. A chance, yes, but not confident.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Keith Law is still skeptical. The guys at Fangraphs go back and forth. It isn't a fan take at all.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Did Stu write this?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Sanchez is out for the year, probably. I sign gausmann and move him to relief.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Of course, advanced stats take into account the NL/AL thing.....he's a good pitcher. He has very good stuff. I get that you like him, but if you discount every NL pitcher, and every AL pitcher on a playoff team, and every pitcher with more than 2 years of control left....who is left?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Nothing worse than signing bad players, and then playing them at least half a year......
  17. Mike Sixel
    I hear Morgan isn't open to the new stathead thing, so maybe not him.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I am going to assume that means the Reds aren't selling......so cross off some possible trade targets....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I assume, then, you won't make a trade of a good prospect either? Because a good prospect is worth more than a 2nd round pick, not to mention what multiple good prospects are worth compared to one 2nd round pick....
  20. Mike Sixel
    He has 5 years of control left. Other than last year, and Miami, I can't think of pitchers like that being traded. Here is a good write-up on him. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/can-john-means-build-on-a-strong-rookie-season/
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm perusing the starting pitchers that were good last year....there aren't a lot on non-playoff teams. Especially if you eliminate any with only a year or two in the majors. Other than the Marlins pitcher last year, it's hard to think of starters traded with more than 2-3 years of control left. I think trading is going to be difficult, and pricey.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Thorpe should move to the pen now, and not spend another year as a starter. Just as Rogers should have moved a year earlier.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't think Astudillo is a good hitter long term, and I don't think he's a good catcher. I hope they have someone else here to start the year at catcher behind Garver
  24. Mike Sixel
    That sarcasm part almost slipped by me.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    They have fifty to seventy million in payroll space. Why not sign good players? You think a contending team should go into the year with two rookie pitchers, and sign a guy that is going to miss one fourth of his starts, so you need another rookie for those starts?
