    The lowest estimate I've seen for EE is over $8 million per year....which is more than Cron will likely get.
  2. Mike Sixel
    How about that his offense has gotten worse each of the last two years? He's a corner OFer, that is NOT a star. That's the exact kind of player a mid market team can't afford to pay a lot of money.

    I admit I literally have no idea what this post has to do with Milwaukee and the fact that they have a less good farm system now that they've traded for some real MLB players. Like, I have no idea

    If he doesn't debut this year, he moves from elite prospect to good prospect. (assuming he's healthy all year).

    Of course, there is a long list of teams that never had any success lately. I'd rather show strain, than be Pittsburgh or Cincinnati, for example. As I was told over and over under the previous GM... Mid market teams can't sustain success over a super long period, because they draft later and their players get too expensive to keep. That will likely happen to Milwaukee, sure. But that's what you and others told me was the natural cycle of the game.

    I don't really understand the hesitancy to sign a guy who has a QO. You're giving up your second best pick.... If you could trade picks, would contenders really not deal their second pick for a good player?
  7. Mike Sixel
    I guess it depends on the meaning of impact. A decent relief pitcher would make an impact for this team. A number four innings eater would. I think those can be had without trading a top 80 prospect. You can also get good players if you will take their contract, though I have no idea if any are available this year. And, good players can be acquired by trading multiple good prospects. I'm also saying for the right player, is consider dealing any prospect. But that would be a unique, player by player, decision. And, other teams have other needs.... Where they might be able to get a corner outfielder for a good prospect or three. The Twins don't need one of those. Also, I'm saying there are no absolutes, like some here insist.

    Chief and I are pretty clear.... We literally know what is in our brains.... Don't be afraid to trade prospects.... No fancy but,if, and or rules.....I can't speak for others, but we are literally talking about what we are talking about. If you all want to argue that some fans are saying something else, go argue with them.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't the discussion.... It was Gaterol and Dobnak we were discussing, which better not happen. I'm indifferent which one of those two gets first shot at the number five spot.... Because there will be movement. Frankly, I think Gaterol is a RP long term....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I think Chalmers gets claimed...a former top pick who could be a RP for a bad team next year. I probably protect him due to having space. I protect Jax and Duran for sure. Everyone else? I'm not sure it matters....
  11. Mike Sixel
    No one should be criticizing the Liam Hendriks decision. The error in Anderson was not trying him out before letting him go.... Pressley I just don't get that one.
  12. Mike Sixel
    But a good team can. Odorrizi, Yellich, others....
  13. Mike Sixel
    fair, but Chief is pretty clear....he's talking minor league players in general, not just top prospects......Gonsalves was never a top prospect (on some lists, on others he might have made a top 100 list).....Chief's point stands, as you yourself point out, teams should not be afraid to trade prospects that aren't ELITE.
  14. Mike Sixel
    the money they spent is irrelevant at this point. Will he be taken? Does it matter? I'm going with no, he will not be taken, and rolling the dice.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Concur. 100%.
  16. Mike Sixel
    No one said sure fire. I responded to a post that said no mid market team ever trades prospects to get better when they aren't already good. I merely pointed out one team that does. No one said it always works.... What we've said is that prospects don't either, and maybe trading them sometimes is a good idea... No one said it will always work.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Howie Kendrick is a better option than EE. Way cheaper, can still hit and field first.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I believe Chief's point is not about these two on particular, but in putting so much value into prospects..... It's a pattern, not a one off.
  19. Mike Sixel
    If you don't sign, or otherwise acquire, a veteran you expect to start, then two rookies will be there. If you do sign a veteran to start, he'll get the start unless he gets hurt. They won't have an open competition for the fourth spot if they bring in three veteran starters.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Milwaukee says hi.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I was never high on him......perfect trade candidate all along, imo. Oh well. This FO better be better than the last one at drafting pitchers.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I get the Gonsalves move......this team has 1 starting pitcher on the MLB roster, two if you count Dobnak.......

  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree on the first line.....which is my point. No way a serious contender can start the year with Dobnak and Gaterol in the rotation. With what? Thorpe and ? in AAA behind them? They need to bring in three veterans.
  25. Mike Sixel
    More likely than Dobnak and Gaterol both being starters, leaving nothing ready in AAA..... They can't start the season that way, not if they are serious about contending.
