    Other than being a better hitter than Kepler, and maybe Rosario......you don't see how they might be better that way?
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm all in. should have signed him one of the other two times they could have.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I too was wondering about this idea. I actually have more confidence in Polanco to hit than Rosario.....maybe some team LOVES Eddie more than Max?
  4. Mike Sixel
    NVIDIA seems like it has really dropped a lot, but that might just be me looking at the wrong times. Basically, for times like this, you should have a list of 15 stocks you really like, and buy more when you want. I'm also going to start investigating marijuana stocks .....but I don't have any idea on those yet.
  5. Mike Sixel
    You left off commit to the rebuild as a path.... By trading Gibson and Castro and, um, the other veteran on the roster
  6. Mike Sixel
    Several big spenders didn't last year, so they could this year. They'll pay top dollar for the best players. Will the rest of the players settle, will the rest of the clubs try to go low? That's the league wide intrigue, imo.
  7. Mike Sixel
    One one side, you have to find 1 run, and the other 5? That doesn't seem like a fair comparison.....People don't trust defensive stats, but they put more value on defense than offense. Seems odd to me.

    Probably not....but that's not the point. The question is how best to use those two players. Maybe trading one is the answer, maybe playing them both is the answer......I don't know. But if you think Gordon is destined for 2B, maybe you try Polanco at SS another year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I've thought about this more, and I'd also keep Polanco at SS. It isn't ideal, but none of the alternatives are. I'd look for a short term solution at 2B, unless a great option comes up, and I'd move Gordon to 2B at AAA. And, like Thrylos, I'd be aggressive with Arraez in AA.....if he lights it up, and Gordon isn't, I'd promote him to MN in the 2nd month or so.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention other 1B also had scoops.....that ability is in the defensive rankings, and there just isn't that much difference between 1B at the MLB level. These guys have been fielding grounders since they were 7 ......or 5.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not really.....they have both Buxton and Kepler, but they need a SS or 2B. So, the question is, which should they pursue? Also, if you think Gordon is really a 2B.....maybe you try Polanco 1 more year at SS. I don't know the right answer on this one, frankly. With Lewis and Gordon a year or two away...things are a bit muddy, unless you are really trying to win next year big time.

    Insane. Wow.
  14. Mike Sixel
    POTUS says this is the market correction we've been waiting for......
  15. Mike Sixel
    I can't speak for anyone else....but my retirement plan money (a real, but not too large percent of my accounts) I play with saw a correction the last two weeks. Like, a real correction...... I sold a LOT of stock recently, because we just agreed to buy a house. Glad I did that before this mini correction (or whatever) started...... I think a ton of stocks I love are on sale right now, but I need all my cash for the house and the remodeling....
  16. Mike Sixel
    My question about the catchers.....can Gaver stay back there with all the concussions, or should he be in the RF/1B/DH mix?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Pineda hasn't pitched in a year, I hope no one is assuming he's there for sure next year..... If all you ever sign is bargain RPs to one year deals, you need to do that year after year...what are the odds you are going to pick right? Move some of these mediocre SPs to RP, and let them loose. Sign a legit RP that you believe in to a multi-year deal. Then sign a flyer. But stop looking for guys trying to re-establish their value.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Thanks. Thanks a lot
  19. Mike Sixel
    As for being saavy? Uh, not really.....that bullpen wasn't good, and part of it was mediocre veterans. I'm with Nick......"winning" by finding bargains isn't usually winning.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe move some of the "meh" starters to RP.......like with Rodgers for example.....DeJong, Slegers, and others are not going to be difference makers at SP....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Heh... Good point sorry. I post it about as often as they win.... But I can stop
  22. Mike Sixel
    At some point, just fold the program.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Who are you arguing with? No one is saying give up on them. Other than a small number of people saying Sano can't play 3B.....those same people are saying he can DH or 1B.....but no one is saying give up. People are saying....have alternatives available. Nothing more or less.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm looking forward to Good Omens next year.....best cast ever. And Gaiman is the writer/runner, so any changes should still be good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Wasnt I replying to a post that asked what happens if they go get a legit OF, and Buxton is good too? Of course I don't move him for no good reason....
