    Yikes!

    The pace of play is the main issue. Time between action. Fix that, and the length will also drop..... What if a RP just didn't have it? Leanne him in for another batter or two? That just makes no sense to me at all. It's like making zone defense illegal. Or the shift illegal. In game action isn't the issue here....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'd be pretty happy if he's a number four starter. Or a great RP.
  4. Mike Sixel
    This. For sure.

    Lots of great comments here, and I like that no one is being less than gracious to those they disagree with. The adjusting the gloves thing has to stop.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Universal DH yes Three batter minimum? Ridiculous Pitch clock? No brainer
  7. Mike Sixel
    I must have read your post wrong, it seemed like you don't care much about that spot one way or the other. It's a precious commodity. there are only 25
  8. Mike Sixel
    Why does he have to hit that well to play? How about tenth best catcher, or even twentieth?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Of course they need more stars, but that's no reason to punt the 25th spot.
  10. Mike Sixel
    He hit better than the average catcher two years ago. What do people want him to do?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wait? They can only sign one year deals? And, I'm pretty sure this post isn't only about this year, or only about pitchers.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't. Any more than every free agent was.
  13. Mike Sixel
    ah right, I forgot he wasn't at BA. Thanks!

    How many minor league prospects aren't question marks? Every player acquired in a trade was "given up on" by their former team (in return for players, or cash, or just roster space). Who is more likely to be good, a player that has already shown to be good in the majors, or a prospect who has never played in the majors? And who thinks there are no question marks, or that it is a free gift? Anyone?

    I'd 100% rather the 25 man was better, than worry about AAA depth. If he's better than Garver or Castro or the last bench name, I'd 100% rather he was in MN. I must not have been clear when I said roster.

    Lanarch is 92 on Fangraphs board, FWIW.
  17. Mike Sixel
    None are Kiriloff, Lewis, Larnarch gop 10-50 types, not even close. It is rare to get great prospects in trades right now. There just aren't that many trades occurring, as teams horde prospects (this isn't just a random opinion, there have been articles written about it).

    It was boring to watch, from the ads to the game, to the half time show. It was all so boring. McVay was outcoached (no shame there, most have been by BB).....but some of it was so obvious. Punting on 4th and short inside the 50. Twice (three times?) passing on 3rd and short around mid field, when you have Gurley and Anderson on the roster....neither time playing for 4 downs. Those are the three easy things I think he got wrong (the rest? harder to judge, but no fan of their plan). This just shows how great KC's offense and coaching is (too bad you can't put Zimmer and them together with Mahomes).
  19. Mike Sixel
    I've never understood why being a front running fan is bad. It actually makes a lot more sense to me.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Amen. It's why the Cruz signing is both good and bad, imo...... Kepler can play any OF position and 1B. Would I like it if he hit better? Sure.....but they need guys like that. Not guys that can only DH or play 1B, or only play D (Granite), or only whatever..... It's why Astudillo should be given a chance to be on the roster. I'm all on board the train you are trying to drive, but I don't know if the FO is.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    You feel the same about pitchers? Just curious.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't have access to that. Was that about the trades, or draft picks improving the farm. They have a super deep farm, which is great if you actually do something with it. They haven't traded for MLB players. And, until some graduate and help the team more than a replacement player, it's all projection, and not value. Which, again, great. But so far, not much help.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I like the Odo trade, would like it more if they're get some top of the rotation guy (s) too. Not convinced on any others at all.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'll take that bet. The point is clear. This team has been bad at trading and signing free agents. Coincidentally, that's the only part this FO has control over, since no draft picks or international signings can reasonably be expected to be up yet. But someday they will play for the present. Or sign good free agents. Cruz should be good, but my expectations are pretty low for the rest.
  25. Mike Sixel
    People think Granite is a good hitter? https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=15343&position=OF He put up a 67 wrc+ in his 40 games in MN in 2017. Cave put up a 108 in 108 games. It's not even close on offense.
