    Almost no players are signed and traded that same year. It is pretty rare.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agree with Chief. Winner.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I think they are hoping for a major bounceback, health from everyone, and to add players at the break. Also, trying not to look cheap. But, he's here for 1 year. It's not what I'd do.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    they both lose.....At least MN can sign a different Gallo next year, or something.
  5. Mike Sixel
    The best thing about this signing is that it is driving traffic to TD, and the owners and writers are getting PAID.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Right? He's the starter until June or July, when he's either benched or traded (unless everyone is healthy and better than last year, maybe he's a legit starter and not traded). Unless Kepler is traded, Larnach is on the bench or in the minors. Heck of a draft record for this FO.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    He was bad (or awful) 2 of the last three years, with a great year 2 years ago. What's the most likely outcome here in your mind?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Yet. There are still 1-1.5 WAR pitchers out there. CC and two rookies, or three Gallos.....your choice.
  9. Mike Sixel
    So, I guess Gordon is on the bench now. As is Larnach, and Wallner in AAA. Not sure how Larnach shows he belongs while sitting on the bench. Martin is in AAA now, maybe AA.
  10. Mike Sixel
    How will they live up to expectations if Gallo is playing, and they aren't? If he's even good, let alone great, he won't be back in MN. This solves nothing in the long run. Nothing.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That would be even worse for a team that NEEDS to build from within. Unless they get a great prospect that works out.....and is timed to coincide with Lee and Lewis and Miranda being great......
  12. Mike Sixel
    If they can't bring up the youth and have them produce, they can't win no matter how many Gallos they sign. At some point, you have to bite the bullet. Passing on all the great players or even next tier of players was that point for me. He put up .6 WAR with his great defense last year. Projects aren't trash. Go look at how they actually do......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Truth. But at least Wallner and Larnach are in AAA now .....so that's....bad.* *until they deal Kepler
  14. Mike Sixel
    Joey Gallo for 11 million......ya, I'm done with this FO.
  15. Mike Sixel
    He's projected for 1.1 fWAR...........1`.1. Kepler is projected for 1.9. It isn't close. And, for 11 million dollars. And, unless Kepler is traded, they are blocking youth for a year for what? What is fixed long term (or even short term)?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Because they were better than him last year? Oh, wait. 100% this is about not looking cheap and praying Gallo is great. But who cares? It is one year. It solves nothing at all, other than blocking Wallner or Larnach or other players.
  17. Mike Sixel
    He put up 0.6 WAR with his defense last year. 0.6.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Gallo put up 0.6 WAR last year. He was below replacement level. Wallner was better. This reinforces my point about CC..... You can have CC and two rookies, or three Joey Gallos.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    They are desperate to not look cheap, and praying Gallo is great again......hope is not a strategy. Also, one year? Who cares. It fixes nothing in the short term. They better deal Kepler for a great prospect or 2 good ones now. That would be buying a prospect, I guess I can squint and see that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    0.6 fWAR last year. For 11 million dollars. He was bad three years ago, great 2, and awful last year. I guess Wallner is in AAA now. He sure couldn't put up 0.6 WAR....oh, wait, he did put up more than that on a pro-rated basis!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Given this FO? They'll likely deal Lee for some pitcher with one year left on his deal. Yes, yes I am piling on at this point.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He was bad three years ago, great two, and awful last year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    He put up 0.6 WAR last year! He's projected for 1.1. Martin or Wallner can do that. They are desperate to spend money and not look cheap. That's the only explanation at this point. Good thing they didn't sign Bassit.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't see this FO bringing up Lee this year. Not with Miranda at 3rd and hopefully Lewis at short at some point.
  25. Mike Sixel
    F. F. F. Why? Why?
