    Hence give me a long term deal and time to fix it.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but how do you fix the rest of the team in your first scenario, or even second? They have few picks and no money in your first scenario.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's some bad grading on a curve. If I can't get an A because someone else got every question right plus somehow graded all the papers so the teacher could relax, that's not a realistic bar.
  4. Mike Sixel
    The D is terrible. How would you fix that in one year, given they can't sign a single free agent if they take a48 million cap hit. No gM can build a team in one year. Plus, what if you bet wrong on Lance? It's not realistic. Show me a path.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    None of those pitchers got the twins anywhere last year. By your logic, they aren't worth signing. Ohtani didn't carry the Angels to the playoffs..... You don't think he's worth signing next year? I don't really understand the logic in saying player X was not good enough to carry a team, so he's not worth signing.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Why? Just go with Farmer. He's better.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'd ask the owner for a five year deal if I was the GM and coach if that's the plan, because it would be years to recover. Years. They have no draft capital. And this year's draft looks bad

    If I'm the GM I try to trade down and get another third and a backup player that has upside. I look for guys that were hurt that need a shot to prove they are healthy. If I'm committed to the 3-4, and someone will give me at least a first for Hunter, I do it, though I'd move back to a 4 3 and keep him. I try very, very, hard to deal Cook and keep Mattison. I'm looking for DBs, again, and much faster LBers. Frankly, I'd look for a fast tweener that is an over sized safety to play one LB position. I also look to get a center, if Bradbury leaves. No idea how to do all that with the picks they have. As for QB, sure, if an upside guy wants to come here and sit behind Kirk, great. But good luck with that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Of the available free agents, only the RPs are certain to be good options relative to current players, other than the two SS. And Rodon, but they aren't signing him to seven, or even five, years. I don't see any advantage to signing a reclamation project in the OF, unless they don't feel their guys are healthy. They have plenty of pitchers who look like number four or five starters, don't need those. Of course I'd love for them to add more great players, there just aren't many left in free agency.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Outside the RP..... Who would you cut to sign one of these guys? Some of them are downright not good.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Spend a lot more money.
  12. Mike Sixel
    They are not mutually exclusive. I think you've made your point, and I've made mine. I think the bigger problem for the sport is three true outcome baseball.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Trading Kepler is what the Rays would do at this point.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed
  15. Mike Sixel
    And he's hurt a lot, not what you want in Buxton insurance.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Lewis moves to left and center when Buxton is hurt. Lee plays third or second or right field. Miranda moves to DH or first. They aren't close to having a logjam. Or, one of them is dealt as part of a deal for a very good pitcher.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Most of those are downgrades. Yikes. I like the RPs..... But that's about it, I think.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Udoh is now your backup LT. Let's hope Darrisaw is ok. Both for him and the rest of the team.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure what the As are doing, other than trying to have the lowest payroll.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Everything I read online says Oakland got nothing. A bunch of backups with low ceilings. We'll see in a couple years, but it's hard to imagine they couldn't get one great prospect.
  21. Mike Sixel
    100% this
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not a huge needle mover, but an improvement for sure.
  23. Mike Sixel
    They have Danielle and Zadarius and can't get any pressure. That's the coaches.
  24. Mike Sixel
    You totally put words in my mouth.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If they fall at signing CC and Rodon, I guess you punt and start over. Which makes no sense given an the prospects they dealt last year. Lopez or a different Miami pitcher? If SF signs CC, I want Crawford here. No way I trade for a RP. They are flush in options there.
