    Then Arraez has to be your DH or 3B to play every day. Which, cool. Then trade Miranda for some pitching.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They just signed a TE with less career receptions than Buxton played games last year.....(bad sentence, you get the point)....not sure why. edit: he's a blocking TE,. which I have no idea what he does all game in a modern O.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. He can flat out hit. If they can find a good position for him, he's a good MLB player. That clearly is not the OF..... I am beginning to think they should move Polanco back to SS, assuming they don't bring another one in.....and put Arraez at 2B.

    Berrios was here for about 60% of the year, their new pitcher should be here all year. Ryan is 1000x better than what they rolled out most of the year, Pineda was gone too.... Projection systems think Buxton will play more than a handful of games. It isn't really hard to understand that they might win more games, given the injuries and trading off their whole pitching staff.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I was told Fangrapahs was too optimistic with 79! And that this team was closer to 60 wins than 80?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Or, the FO decided they wanted to try it last year, and it didn't work......so they are focusing him now? Who knows?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Yes....MVP caliber season on the way.
  8. Mike Sixel
    truth. just a bad feeling at this point.
  9. Mike Sixel
    That's a weird one....they app can ID who it is, and let the NFL know, but NOT stop him from betting?
  10. Mike Sixel
    The longer they don't sign him, the less likely I feel they will....so, um, yikes.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He could get better, yes. It's not like he doesn't have a history of being good. That said? I'm not holding my breath. I'd rather see him at DH than catching....but then what about Sano/Kiriloff? Is AK in left field?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Both Oakland and Cincy were pretty good before their sales. Cincy would have made the playoffs last year under the new rules, I believe. They are getting Greene for their rotation....for a small number, they could have added a bat or two and a RP or two and been projected for 90 wins. Instead, they sold off. No way this is the right CBA.
  13. Mike Sixel
    To expand on my earlier post.....I've always believed Jax has a good shot as a RP, and have wanted them to make this move for some time. I am happy for him, as I think this is a legit path to a good MLB career. I have no idea if Thorpe can pull this off, given his injury history....but I wish him luck.
  14. Mike Sixel
    He's not a good OF. I'm hoping they decide that Martin is the LF at some point this year (assuming he's not a SS). There really isn't a path for him other than utility/DH on this roster, imo. (assuming Urshela is the 3B, if he's the SS, then Arraez can play 3B until Miranda is promoted). I'm still hoping they bring in a SS....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'll take 71 and you get 69.... luckily, this isn't the final roster. Here is why I think you are wrong.... A full year of Gray, unlike Berrios last year. A full year of Ryan. The other three spots are unknown compared to last year, but last year was terrible. A lot more Buxton and Kiriloff. I think fangraphs is bullish, but this isn't a sixty win team. Like some here are saying.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Good deal.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Makes sense.
  18. Mike Sixel
    How about sixty, which I was rebutting?
  19. Mike Sixel
    How about 60, which was what I responded to? Ridiculous.
  20. Mike Sixel
    They replaced a negative WAR pitcher (whomever took slot 5) with a guy that should get 2.5-4 WAR. That's not barely moved the needle (though yes, they need one more good SP). 3B is no less bare than it was. If anything, Urshela is more likely to be healthy than Donaldson. C is not good, agreed. And, SS? Not even addressed. *Unless Urshela is playing SS, then I got no idea how SS is defensively.
  21. Mike Sixel
    100 games? No shot. They are projected for 80 wins, for example, on Fangraphs. I don't love this roster, but it isn't a dumpster fire.
  22. Mike Sixel
    And that they won the division twice.
  23. Mike Sixel
    agreed. Supposed to be a good leader too. They REALLY need 2 CBs though..... Thielen getting restructured also. Need a Hunter move now....like a big restructure or a deal for a super high pick and a 2nd....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I like Larnach and eventually Martin better than any of those LF options. I would happily take either SS on a 5 or 6 year deal. Not interested in any of those starting pitchers. I'd rather deal for one. I have no idea what they should do with the bullpen, given all the pitchers on the 40 man.
  25. Mike Sixel
    They won two division titles so far. Let me ask you seriously....do you think they are clueless, or that you disagree with some of their decisions?
