    Remember when this was a thread about Kepler? Me neither.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think you are both right. There was no opportunity in NY in the OF, and he's probably not great out there.... As for here? Well, they didn't play Astudillo at catcher the first time.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Looking forward to him in Minnesota.

    Shopify, Okta, New Relic.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    No such assumption was made at all.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Good for him! Of course, to win, they'll need to add players....
  7. Mike Sixel
    How so? The option years can be any price they negotiate. And, it looks like Kepler has a deal more evenly spread out, which was really the wish.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Just started the expanse. It's good.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not sure, but I'm sure there are unintended consequences of front loading
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Which I totally get. Just not what I'd do if I was a billionaire. But I get it. What I want is not what I expect, which some confuse here.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Too bad they didn't front load it, to keep that flexibility. But that I would expect them to, but if your budget is really yearly, that would make some sense if you were worried about future spending.
  12. Mike Sixel
    They are no longer the only team without a commitment past this year!
  13. Mike Sixel
    No idea why so many think this is about Gordon. It's about signing a guy they like to keep him around. Probably at a reasonable number. If they like him, this is exactly what they should do, no matter who is in the minors.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Great!
  15. Mike Sixel
    I hope they are aggressive. I believe we are looking at 2021......I hope to be wrong on the timing.

    Brusdar 1:24 What are my chances at being a MLB starter? Scouts think there is too much effort in my delivery, but man I throw a lot of strikes. Kiley McDaniel 1:24 Not that much effort, just not fine in terms of command and we think he should lengthen the stride some, but the super easy arm speed is beyond elite
  17. Mike Sixel
    If it's so easy to teach, why doesn't everyone have one? That said, if you aren't excited about this prospect, I don't know if you will ever will be.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Who is saying top 10? They aren't even at the median right now......who said top 10? Especially if you take out the teams not even trying.... Analytics is NOT about not taking risks, just the opposite. It's about using math to determine the best path among all the risky paths, and to attempt to quantify that, rather than just eyeball it.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't have ESPN, so zero? Fangraphs is quite high on him, for example. The reports say he can hit. And I like guys that can hit.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Austin, Cron, Duda, Cruz.... Other teams are looking for guys that can play multiple positions, and the Twins have brought in four DH, 1B, types. Right after drafting Rooker. I don't get it. It's too early to give up on Gordon, but last year is a red flag to raise doubts.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Corner OF isn't no value. I have no idea if Javier will be good or not, but the certainty that people are expressing here is surprising, given how little he's played at all.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The fix, as you say, is to truly share revenue. But I don't see that happening either. I'm all for inequality if it means players get more.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I hate a cap, as you can imagine. All the money just goes to billionaire owners, instead of players. It's not like they will drop prices...
  24. Mike Sixel
    Berrios began 2017 in AAA for zero good reason.... Still can't figure that out at all.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This. I'd like him in the two inning role after Odo and Pineda or whomever finishes their five or six innings. Let's see if he has that third pitch or not. My thinking has evolved, as starters go less innings... A great multi inning RP has great value.
