    Couldn't disagree more. Teams are fast tracking these guys like crazy these days. I'd move him to high A right now. Then see what it looks like in the early fall.
  2. Mike Sixel
    And all the times he failed to get a hit are cancelled out? The slash line tells a pretty accurate story. Imo.

    They aren't young. Mauer, Dozier, Morrison, Castro, Escobar.... And it isn't like Rosario and Buxton are in year two of being MLB players. They aren't even in the top ten in being young. The Yankees and Red Sox are younger, on offense, for example. They just aren't good enough. That said, trading for an actual hitter would be helpful. What position would you replace? You aren't getting a first baseman or DH. Or a second baseman, or third, or outfielder....

    Realmuto is a great short and long term solution. They won't do it, imo. I have been asking for this for months, but I don't see it happening. As for what happens when Castro gets back? Well, include Garver in the trade, and you don't have to worry about it... Gordon should have been up when Sano went down. They didn't do it. Can't see it happening now. Wade should have been up when Buxton went down, they didn't do it. Pretty unlikely it happens now. I'd guess none of those is happening soon. That leaves just going with what they have and assuming it gets better, for now.

    I'm guessing very low
  6. Mike Sixel
    I agree with pulling Berrios.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Tough call. But I think I do in a tie game. Otherwise no.
  8. Mike Sixel
    That. Was. Not. Expected.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I almost went there...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Phew. Was wondering if that would every happen
  11. Mike Sixel
    Way to make the pitcher work....
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's good to have dreams...
  13. Mike Sixel
    Do you have an auto fill for this line? You probably should.. .
  14. Mike Sixel
    Granite? Before the other team finished asking the question. Wade? That's tougher. This team isn't close to New York or Boston, or Houston, so I have to think hard about that right now. The playoffs aren't random enough to give up a guy I believe in for a couple months of a backup. Trading for a starter might lead to an easier yes.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Trades just don't happen, of good players, historically until July. That's what history shows us. Whether teams should or should not trade earlier is a different discussion, but they just don't usually. Super, super, rarely. So, another 6 weeks by your timeline. In the meantime, Wade could be up and playing (though that is less needed now that Buxton is back, agreed). I'm not sure why we are looking at 6 weeks of data for Wade, but a career for Grossman.... And, despite people continuing to type it, I disagree. Defense matters.
  16. Mike Sixel
    that literally has nothing to do with the post i replied too....which was that being a top 59 offensive player in all of baseball isn't good enough. No place was I taliking about the past......
  17. Mike Sixel
    They need guys who can hit, left or right. This handedness obsession is odd to me. I get it, I don't agree with it. Don't forget defense and baserunning.... Sure, trading for an OF would be nice, but that's not happening until mid July....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure, I haven't thought about that. But they certainly aren't promoting any better options soon, even if they are there....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but that's not what i thought you said, must have read it wrong. I'd be thrilled if he's one of the top third of players in the game.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Wade is 25.... And you are worried about options and service time? We probably don't agree on that. He certainly plays better defense than Grossman, and he hits better than Buxton, and maybe Grossman. Despite what people say, Grossman plays a lot. A and he's replacement level.... Gordon? I just think he's going to be better than what they have. I understand the doubters. I don't agree with them. And, forty man? They don't need everyone on that list now, as we see from history when they turn over the list every year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Top one third of all players isn't good enough? How high are your expectations?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Some exciting performances right now!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Wade and Gordon should be up here, imo. They really miss Sano and Polanco on offense. A lot.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I think we'll just disagree on this. And, if they won't put good players in AAA to start because it is in a cold weather city, maybe they need a new city.
  25. Mike Sixel
    and yet Romero was in AAA to start. Why him, and not the others?
