    Because it's the players, not the manager..... Many of us that predicted around a .500 record were worried about the players.
  2. Mike Sixel
    We can ridicule Detroit, but the Vikings played great at the end.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Very hard to believe.

    I'd like to revise my prediction down to seven wins..... Maybe six. This defense, not that I can watch, reads like it is terrible.

    You don't think they want to win? They won the division twice with Rocco, and lost it twice. I can see why they brought him back, whether I agree or not. But to claim, as two people now have, they don't care if they win? Most likely not true.

    Not sure how to answer, as I lived the show. But it does get more into the story as episodes go on. But it's a think piece show.....

    Sigh.

    More negative comments than positive ones in a celebration thread. This site never disappoints. These guys all had great years. The depth in the minors had never been better than it will be next year. Varland was great this year, and he and SWR will start games in Minnesota next year for sure. Congratulations to him and all the rest.

    Nick Gordon putting up 2 fwar is reason for hope. He should play nearly every day next year. I don't love the front of the rotation, but it is incredibly deep with 3-5 guys, and they don't need to spend any money on backend types. They will have money to sign a legit hitter and acquire a pitcher. I don't know which good pitcher will be available, but if there is one, they should get him. I think there is reason for hope, but I understand those with doubts. Buxton has to play over 100 games, or they need a lot more good players to cover his loss.

    Great post They really have collapsed. I keep looking at lineups, and counting the guys we thought were starters.... And the number just isn't high enough right now.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Wallner looks legit. That would be huge for this team, imo. Juliene can clearly hit, let's hope they find a no position for him. I have no idea on the other two, but if they can catch even in a backup role, that would be great.
  13. Mike Sixel
    All of 46 are sitting on that mark across MLB right now. That stat clearly isn't useful at this point.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I've been trying to figure out what I'd do for some time (assuming he opts out). 1. Extend CC. I just don't see them doing that. They have Lewis and Lee ready by middle of next year, and they can sign a legit player at another position for less. (who/what position, unsure). 2. The real question, imo, is the timeline for Lewis' return. If he's projected back "early", I'm ok with Palacios/Gordon as placeholders. Early is May 1 or earlier. If he's projected back later than that, I try to sign a SS. Maybe even one of the expensive ones. I don't see THAT happening, but it is possible. I haven't checked the non-expensive list yet.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think I agree with this.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Celebration thread. Sigh. Ok, look it up if you want to comment on it.
  17. Mike Sixel
    You don't seem to be arguing the point at all. They didn't trade berrios until they were out of it in 21. Who says they weren't trying to be competitive this year? They didn't trade any veterans away at the deadline, which is the point. I am baffled at this reply.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The Yankees can also just buy great players if needed. That context seems important.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Perhaps that was my point. Kiriloff if healthy. Arraez ( not that young) or Martin or Gordon at second. Lewis at short. Miranda at third. Wallner and Larnach have looked legit. I'm not sure your point at all, frankly. What was your point? Mine was they have graduated a lot of top ranked rookies lately, which is why the farm ranking is dropping. What was your point?
  20. Mike Sixel
    By graduation almost entirely. But not gutted, no. If they wanted, their entire infield could be rookies or second year players next year. Plus Wallner and Larnach in the outfield. The pitching staff could be sixty percent second year players in the starters. I think it's graduation that is effecting the ranking.
  21. Mike Sixel
    So, higher than before the trade?
  22. Mike Sixel
    The farm system isn't close to gutted. Not even a little. I think that last sentence indicates that you don't agree that risk is real, frankly. Of course the fans want a good team, so does the FO and ownership. Sometimes you take chances and they don't work. They spent weeks/months playing their 5-9th best OFers, often all three at once.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I doubt they were suggesting a 1:`1 trade......
  24. Mike Sixel
    He looks like he might be legit. We can hope so.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I still think an auction system is the best idea, with the worst teams getting advantages. Never going to happen though
