    That's my point....does anyone think the MN OF is fine? I don't.....too many questions, not enough answers....but the post I was responding to with that post, clearly said the MN OF is fine...
  2. Mike Sixel
    I loved JT as a trade candidate last year, less so this year.....he only has 2 years left on his deal. If I'm trading above average players for different players, I don't want to have only 2 years on the deal.......there are just too many questions about this team for that. Now, if they trade for a guy like this, and sign some great FAs....that's different.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I think the point was that Kepler could play CF with more certainty than Cave or Buxton at this point.....not about corner OFs.
  4. Mike Sixel
    That would be great. I just don't have that list of FAs in front of me that looks enticing, and it is really hard to predict trades. I'm all for better talent, all for it. 100% for it.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Put Garver at 1B, with Austin at DH (and sometimes 1b), with Astudillo and Castro as the primary catchers.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure you missed the point......the Brewers didn't say "meh, our OF is fine".....they upgraded it with some certainty compared to what they had. None of that has anything to do with your post (i agree, they should have traded for pitching at the deadline).
  7. Mike Sixel
    Skeptical is probably more fair than cynical......kind of have to have different outcomes to change thoughts.... for those saying it is all freshman, do we have to punt on expecting wins next year, because it will be all sophomores?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I bet Brewers fans are glad their GM didn't think this way....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not even competitive with a winless team.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't think people have realized how much batting averages are down across the league..... Some of these posts are suggesting he's not good enough unless he's a top thirty player across all of baseball. Sure, he needs more hitting, but he's not that far off
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Then he's an above average player. If they had nine guys otr up that much war, they'd be thrilled.
  13. Mike Sixel
    What doesn't exist? Defense is calculated for first base. There just aren't that many opportunities to make plays others rarely do. The data is readily available.
  14. Mike Sixel
    People that watch every play, and every throw and dig, year after year, disagree with you. This isn't random posters....
  15. Mike Sixel
    For example, the Yankees had five hitters put up more WAR than that. Were all the other players backups, not good enough to start for a great team? The Brewers had four. Teams don't have nine starters that put up very good war.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Kepler was 13th in RF war. If he's a fourth outfielder, there must not be as many teams as I think there are.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Austin, Garver, Sano, should rotate there. No to Grossman even being iyn the roster, please. I would not be opposed to adding a player, but I'd hope he has position flexibility.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure a 26% difference is all that close. And, let's be honest.....if it was a real effort, no, they were not "right" about the years, they were lucky they didn't bid the most. Because if we are saying they are lucky to avoid he injury, it happened in year 1, not year 4 or 5 or 6..... I don't really care about the context of Ryan and his unwillingness (or the ownership's) to spend money. They aren't competing against Terry Ryan, they are competing against the other teams in MLB. We'll know a lot more after this off season. but, I'm not sure how anyone can look at the first two years and say this FO is risk takers.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They weren't even close on Darvish. And, signing a RP to a 2 year deal is risk taking? That seems like a pretty low bar
  20. Mike Sixel
    Zero long term contracts last off season, one minor trade. No big effort to add to the team last trade deadline, just a tweak here and there. What evidence is there that they will take risks? Until they do, they haven't. So far, they've only taken the risk of trading away players for minor league players.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    One team added legit OF, even though they had some OF already, the other did not. One team built a great bullpen, the other did not (and even traded maybe their best RP for some reason). One team really tried to improve, the other was complimented for finding great value on mostly entirely one year deals (meaning even if they worked, they'd have to replace all those guys again). I prefer the Milwaukee strategy of finding long term MLB players, frankly.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I also prefer an extension at this point.....but if they can't do that and they don't add a big time bat and SP, I'd deal him. I'd guess he returns a top 50 - 75 talent, give or take. Kind of depends on who signs who this off season. I'd be aiming for C, 3B, starting pitcher type (who clearly has to be more than a year or two away).
  23. Mike Sixel
    What did your post mean, then? Because it sure seemed like you said it was flushing cash. Also, that article fails to examine the alternative, of using pitchers that never even saw the majors. Because of you don't acquire new pitchers, you have to use your minor league pitchers.
  24. Mike Sixel
    signing a good RP is flushing the cash? you have that little faith in the FO? Who is more likely to be good as a RP next year, DeJong, or a guy that has been good in the majors?
  25. Mike Sixel
    do we have any evidence they are number 1 in the country in giving back? that seems unlikely. I do like your list. I think all of that is as important as winning. But, I never find it productive to the conversation to tell other people how to be the right kind of fan..... I have no idea what that last line even means.
