    Because Pineda isn't in rookie ball. He's getting older and breaking down. It couldn't be more different.
  2. Mike Sixel
    How old was Polanco? Did he miss three years of playing a full season? Not even a little comparable.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Playing Devils advocate, you don't know this for certain. It may be true it may not be true. To be clear, the substance is banned. Taking it is cheating.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I doubt they sign one of those guys. They should not sign Pineda. When did he last play a full year? And he knowingly took a banned substance, screwing the team this year. Perez is a number five starter. Mid market teams should not pay that kind of player more than the minimum. The have to lock up Odorrizi. No way you go into the off season needing three pitchers. Good luck to the FO, they are going to need it. Of course, they chose this path last off season, by not acquiring any longer term players, I have no sympathy at all.

    If he knew it was banned, does it matter why?
  6. Mike Sixel
    He took a banned substance..... Does it matter why? He hurt the team. Does it matter why, other than to keep himself alive, is there a good reason?
  7. Mike Sixel
    So now they probably won't re sign two of the free agents. And shouldn't sign Perez. Ouch. This is gonna hurt in the post season. And next year.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Recency bias. He was great early, now bad. All we recall is the recent stuff. If the plan includes Perez next year, I'll be disappointed.
  9. Mike Sixel
    which clearly they didn't feel he was doing....so why call him up now?
  10. Mike Sixel
    except that whole pesky....no one wants to give up a draft pick thing..... which, really, would you not give up a first round pick for Pineda?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Still need one more......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Except that's not the option.....You need one of those guys to be the number 5, that still leaves two spots open. Cole and ? fill those?
  13. Mike Sixel
    How do you propose getting 4 starters here, if you don't QO one or both of Pineda and Odo?
  14. Mike Sixel
    There aren't going to be two better pitchers than Berrios going to any one team, let alone here. That's just not realistic, given history of all of MLB.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I get promoting Harper. They've seen him. Isn't the goal to see the new pitchers?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Keep one of Pineda or Odorrizi. Sign one of the five best free agents, they have plenty of money. Trade for someone, I couldn't list a specific name, but there will be a decent or good pitcher traded this off season. I can't guarantee it is better than this year, but you can't not sign anyone and go with four rookies. It also isn't realistic to expect them to sign three good free agents, as some have suggested. No team has ever done that. This front office chose to have this problem, by not singing anyone or trading for anyone, and it isn't an easy one to fix.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ridiculous straw man argument. Seriously, no one has suggested this.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They don't really have an option. They need to keep one, if not two, of the three free agents. Having money, and actually signing free agents you want, doesn't always happen. They'll have to outbid lots of teams for the few really good free agent starters. And no, they aren't going into next year with three or four rookie starters to start the year. No serious playoff contender does that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    This is why they should consider Garver at first.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I think you missed the sarcasm.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to Gibson. Health issues suck. It also potentially explains this season. I expect Alcala and Hildeberger to be up after Rochester is done. Well, hope on Alcala.
  22. Mike Sixel
    One or both OF will play in Minnesota next year. As will Jeffers.
  23. Mike Sixel
    On the plus side, no one is stealing this coach for awhile....
  24. Mike Sixel
    You will be lucky to get two thirds of a year from Pineda. Perez? So, basically the same rotation?
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's clear the bullpen is a stars and scrubs group, or at least it was before all the DFA action. Now? The two new additions add depth and talent for sure. I have no idea if any of the less experienced players are good or not, just not enough data.
