    Rockies aren't trading anyone. they just re-upped their 37 year old closer.... All those seem fair. Not sure which I'd do or not for sure....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone on this thread has suggested trading Correa, and they shouldn't.
  3. Mike Sixel
    They are starting someone most here haven't even heard of tonight in Detroit. The starting pitching situation is bad. Really bad. I know they NEED RPs, but yikes. It is really hard to see how they stay on top of the division if they don't go get a SP.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Yikes. Desperate times indeed.
  5. Mike Sixel
    SD rode him hard, he's worn out, and they get what s/b a great RP the rest of the year. I like the deal for both sides just fine.
  6. Mike Sixel
    All fair points. That was my stance until recently, that this year they had 5 games in the bag! Unfortunately, they no longer do. I am hopeful they bring in another real SP next year.......other than CC, they are as good or better at every position next year (assuming Jeffers comes back) than they are now. It is all on their ability to get pitching.
  7. Mike Sixel
    ah, yes, the 40 man. Hmmmmm. Not sure what I'd do there. Also, my opinion on Cave is altered by the "news to me" that Kepler should be back soon.
  8. Mike Sixel
    that's pretty much where I am. I'd prefer two RPs at this point, maybe even a decent/old catcher type. Which is a big change. A month ago I was all in on dealing Wallner and Steer and others for a legit starter (which, given the prices we are seeing, the Twins likely couldn't match those deals). This team NEEDS Gray and Ryan to be legit number 2/3 types the rest of the year. Then they need the O to be more consistent (and a healthy, effective, Kepler).
  9. Mike Sixel
    Silver Lining!
  10. Mike Sixel
    Right. The middle is the hardest spot.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Seems light given more than 2 dozen women accused him of "issues"......I won't comment more on this for fear of a banning.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It is a Rays type move for sure. If they let Rogers get more rest.....it might work out for them even this year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. It seems fair given the RP is 28......I'd take that deal on both sides every day.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Larnach is highly rated by one defensive measure (can't recall which) because runners don't take chances on extra bases on him. I think he's likely under rated on this site (defensively).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not any chance, imo, they sign a legit starter, ever. They've refused every year.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I like Cave more than Garlick, frankly.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I meant rest of season. I'm counting AK given he's next in line after Larnach and Kepler. I think the plan was AK or Larnach in left from the beginning. Didn't AK start the year in left? Clearly I'm wrong on Kepler, which is good news.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Getting Kepler back would be huge, on defense alone.
  19. Mike Sixel
    A rookie? That's going to cost something legit even if he is 28. Their number seven prospect, a legit AAA starter.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I may be wrong! If so, that does change my mind some. I thought Kepler was on the sixty day, but I may be conflating guys at this point. I'm assuming AK is done, no matter how much they try not to have him be so that's me. I thought Larnach was out until September, which I guess isn't all year.... The overall point stands. No team can realistically miss this many OFers for this long. But I hope I'm wrong on the timing and you are right.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Opportunity cost. If he's on the roster, someone else isn't. He won't be here next year, let someone else get experience. That's my reason to DFA him.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That's mostly where I am. The two hot takes were really about getting insanely good offers. I too want two RPs added. This offense can be great if they really click. Arraez, Buxton, Correa, Miranda can be a great top four. Losing all their OF depth really has me down though. Hell, even Lewis should be here in the OF. That makes OF 2-5 out for the year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I always had doubts about Wallner, but this is worse than I figured. Is he pressing?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Certainly likely, but Gio is likely gone after this year. That's the only reason I consider it. I'm good with keeping him, as I still hope they'll go back to bring good again this year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    One thing I'd consider is dealing whichever of Polanco or Arraez returns more near ready MLB pitching. I'm not in love with this idea, but I don't think they'll sign a legit starter this coming year..... Also, if someone wants Gio, I'd consider dealing him and moving Miranda to third. But I don't think I like this idea given they are in first. I don't want to do either, but if I got a great offer for either second baseman, I'd think about it.
