    Hats off to the artists!

    Seems like looking at these numbers compared to the league.... Would lead one to believe the team is near league median.... So, hardly a real concern. Jeffers has barely been in the league, and people want to give up on him. People asking to trade for one long term.... What team is giving up a long term catcher? There just aren't many on the planet.

    The Rockies, being the Rockies, say they hope to sign those guys to extensions.....

    Agreed. Same. Too bad. Maeda would be just the kind of guy that propels a playoff team further. Imagine a bullpen of their two good pitchers now, Winder, Alcala, Ober and Maeda for the playoffs. That would be great (or, sub Archer for Winder and have Winder start).

    And Maeda ....

    We're looking at sample sizes of three now? Maybe look at every RP trade over the last five years across baseball for useful data. The site is filled with people saying the team has too many players for the 40 man next year, and people don't want to trade anyone? I get that some feel this team will be better next year. But they probably won't have CC. They won't have a built in 4.5 game lead. If the team doesn't add players when leading the division, why would anyone think they would next year? It would be a terrible decision not to try to get better. Any news on Maeda?

    Also, I'm bored with 011 being the only answer....her entire arc in season 4 was meh.

    Reagan would have bombed that town by now.....just sayin'

    What evidence was their Rortverdt could hit? Also, he's out for the year, right, with surgery? It's not a deep position, but that's a league wide problem. I often wonder what would happen if teams tried a more athletic guy there, who probably can't stick at short.....

    That's a lot of pitchers, and lack of up the middle players. I could get behind it, but I'd be nervous about the lack of up the middle players in the system, given their, imo, misses lately.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Same.
  13. Mike Sixel
    One of your best. Hat tip.

    Losses like that are definitely annoying and not good for the team. I'm not super worried at this point about the regular season, though there is an inkling of doubt settling in if Ryan doesn't return to form. On the other hand, this team could be on pace for 120 wins, and this board would still whine and complain about Baldelli and spreadsheets and stat heads. Even in threads about players of the month. Even in threads celebrating something. Over and over.

    That Mahle trade is awesome of the Twins, no way the Reds do that. If they do get Mahle, I move him to the pen and make him a 2 inning RP. That's way less than the Twins got for Berrios, and it isn't close. I'm not too keen on trading Steer at this point, not for a rental at a position that the Twins might be ok at (DH or 1B, given how often Buxton and Arraez DH and AK is the 1B). I'd do the Bard deal. I just think all those moves together deplete the hitters in the minors too much. I'd much rather give up Ober or Enlow or Balazavich than all of Steer, Wallner, Martin (who I was clearly too high on).

    Given that half the league isn't all that good at catcher, how, exactly, should the Twins upgrade? The fact that the many of the rest of the teams have issues is evidence that there just aren't that many GOOD catchers on the planet. So, yes, it does matter. It is about realism and what is out there.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Every player being the best player in MLB.....duh. Every move by the manager working, even if his bullpen choices are 1-2 guys he can really trust and 4-7 other guiys.
  18. Mike Sixel
    You consider a number 2/3 starting pitcher a supporting piece? Tough grader. Ryan is absolutely as likely to be important to the future of this team as Kiriloff or Lewis, and certainly Duran.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Writing, pacing, acting.....all great in season 4. Loved the ending. Truly great tv.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Other than catcher, who do these guys replace? And each add adds a 40 man issue. If we are going to talk adding bats, it would be great if we discussed who they replace. So, maybe the OP can do that?
  21. Mike Sixel
    This thread is about Ryan. Can you go one thread without complaining about the manager? As for Ryan, he definitely does not look the same. Hoping he eventually fully recovers. This is one reason I'm for acquiring a very good starter, if possible and affordable.
  22. Mike Sixel
    This is on the front office. They need to get some relief pitchers.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Heh. I was one over on the back going into 16....too bad I didn't skip 16 and 18. Sigh. Great round, other than those two triples......
  24. Mike Sixel
    While I was unsure about the trade at the time, it is has been an unmitigated disaster this year. Truly awful.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Hilarious.
