    Only Berrios is better at this point. I have no idea what that first sentence means. The other guys might eventually be better, but not one of them is as ready to help win baseball games as a healthy Gibson to start the season next year.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Of course they should if they are confident the disease is under control. But I'd rather have Odo, Wheeler, and someone they trade for they like more than Gibson. If they can't get those three, then Gibson makes sense if he's healthy.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Congrats! And I agree with the second place vote for sure. All those injuries....
  4. Mike Sixel
    This is not a plan I would endorse. Way too much given up, and not enough added. If Betts had three years left? Maybe. But I'd rather they sign pitching or trade for it. Price is hurt.... No way Odo signs for that tiny amount either.
  5. Mike Sixel
    From what I've read a large percent of players don't want to play close to where they grew up, so I think fans over rate that sometimes.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Because they didn't get him. That's literally what passing on getting him means. They passed on whatever price they would have had to pay. That's what a good to great, young, pitcher will cost, minimum. Like I said, it's hard to see how anyone that young and good will be dealt again any time soon.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They could have traded for Gallen last year, and passed. Not sure what other young, really good, pitcher will ever be traded....
  8. Mike Sixel
    They are seventy million below the number you posted. You also posted they should not sign expensive free agents. They have one starting pitcher on the roster. What should they do?
  9. Mike Sixel
    They'll just be in this same spot again next year.... Needing two or more pitchers
  10. Mike Sixel
    What's the alternative for this year? Punt?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Boston won. They have been great for over a decade. The Cubs won, and have been in the playoffs three years in a row until this year. The dodgers have been great. What do you expect? Btw... How are the cheapest teams, other than Tampa, doing? How many cheap teams pass your WS winning test, if that's the criteria?
  12. Mike Sixel
    No one said do it all the time. And you can't convince me that every trade for a veteran is for an underpaid veteran. No way.
  13. Mike Sixel
    By that logic, you wouldn't trade a minor league player either. But teams do.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Point five is 100 percent not true, and stated in an insulting way..... People are cherry picking stats. Look at all the stats, compared to corner outfielders. It would be cool if we could discuss this politely....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think people are confusing ideas here.... The downside of Eddie is that he's getting more expensive, at a position where the minor league system is stacked. A mid market team can't afford Eddie at some point. I don't think this is that year. Also, people seem to not compare him to other corner outfielders.... He's not all that great compared to other corner players. Over the last 18 months he's been ok compared to other corner outfielders. That's just what the overall offensive numbers show. That doesn't make him bad. It doesn't mean they need to get rid of him. It means they need the minor league players to step up this year. Because eventually they won't be able to afford him and pitching.
  16. Mike Sixel
    A second round pick....for the better player.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Because there isn't always a similar FA......If there is, sure, but there isn't. To be clear, you don't think MN would trade their 2nd round pick this year for a good SP that was under contract?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Wheeler has been better than Gray, and doesn't cost any prospects. If you won't sign Wheeler, what FA will you ever sign?
  19. Mike Sixel
    They got a bit conservative there......but pulled it out!
  20. Mike Sixel
    I prefer Wheeler, if I can only have one of them. But both would be good....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather opportunistically get Betts.......I'm not sure Price's elbow is going to last. If the Twins think it will, go for it. But I'd be worried about that elbow....but in general, yes, opportunities like this should be taken when the team thinks it is a good idea.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Rosario's critics compare his numbers to all the other corner OFers, then look at his likely cost the next two years, and say he shouldn't be extended. NO ONE is saying cut him. No one is saying he's a bad player. But if you look at his numbers, all of his numbers, he's just not all that good compared to other corner OFers, and he'll be expensive starting this year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    We don't know that's true of every pitcher they might try to trade for. Heck, we don't know it's true from last year either.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Have you looked at the likely salaries of the combined players under contract for this year? They easily have 50-70MM to spend. Easily.
