    Kiriloff is not a AAA player. Gordon is a backup, what do you expect? Larnach? Not sure on him yet. Rooker? I'm not a fan, but he's at least a AAAA player, so sure? How many teams do you think don't have players of this quality on their roster? Maybe one of those guys is a starter, maybe. On larnarch and Jeffers.... Your post reads to me like you don't want young players on the roster. Imo, that's not realistic. At some point, you have to give those players a shot.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'll bite. Which position players are AAA players? (Gordon and Rooker are AAAA or MLB players, other than that?)
  3. Mike Sixel
    Isn't the plan B for nearly every team AAA players? Outside the super wealthy teams, that seems like every team's plan B. I'd be thrilled if Rooker is in Plan B, rather than A. I could be wrong about him, but I just don't seem him playing decent D anywhere. And they have plenty of DH options....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Roster Resource on Fangraphs has all your answers.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I think studies show this kind of thing almost never happens. That teams sign or trade for guys in the expectation of later trading them for more. but sure, that is one possibility.
  6. Mike Sixel
    No one said give them the benefit of the doubt....how about not assuming the worst as an option? Wait, they signed Buxton, but you think they didn't want to? I'm very confused, given that trading Berrios somehow proved they didn't want to sign him.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Or, Berrios didn't want to sign here. Or, he changed his mind about not testing FA for some unknown reason. We really have no idea.
  8. Mike Sixel
    That would make the Petty/Gray trade kind of weird.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not in 1000 years. Give me Martin and SWR over Petty 100 days out of 100.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You kind of left off getting Martin and SWR in your analysis there....... I'd deal Berrios and Petty for Gray and Martin and SWR. Especially if Berrios didn't want to sign an extension. Also, Gray costs less next year than Berrios.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Gore hasn't been able to throw strikes for three years. I'd deal Larnach straight up for just him....but I'd not take Hosmer. No way.
  12. Mike Sixel
    The twins literally won the division two years in a row, and had their highest payrolls (league median) the last few years. They aren't comparable to CO at all. Not even close. Not even a little close. One team in this division is projected to be over .500 this year. That's not comparable to the NL West at all.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Shows how valuable Story and a legit SP would be for this team. Gets them to 85 at least.....then you just need a few breaks and you are a playoff team.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'll grant Lewis has a great ceiling, but man, that floor.... Martin hit at AA in his first full season in pro ball, Lewis hasn't hit that well at any level, has he? IMO, Martin is a at least 2-3 WAR player in his ok years, and a 3-4 WAR player for at least several years. You better be 100% right when you trade him, because that's a good MLB player.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Why would people rather have Lewis than Martin? Which one hit well last year, in his first full season in baseball, in AA? I really don't get it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Weren't you the guy saying the players should take MLB's first, crappy, offer? The one that would have given them less money, and therefore owners more money?
  17. Mike Sixel
    On a one year deal. And the twins played martin more at short than anywhere else, didn't they? He's also their number one prospect..... I'd guess he's a better MLB hitter than a good number of current twins right now. If you include one top fifty prospect, and one top 150 prospect u can get a one year rental. I hope they aren't paying that price for a one year rental. So, yes, you can. But not for Larnach and a pitching prospect, no.
  18. Mike Sixel
    You want to trade for high end pitching, but won't include up the middle prospects in the deal? Good luck.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Jax ....WTAF are they thinking?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Gotta deal quality to get it back. He hasn't played in his long? Where do you play him full time?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Yes. 100% Bills fans are angry, that's a good sign
  22. Mike Sixel
    Yes.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The Reds won 83 games last year....and would have made the playoffs under the new rules. They are gutting their MLB team.....I'm thinking the next CBA won't be done easily either.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Where does Sano fit, or Kiriloff in that? Because I see a full DH field there......Assume you think Kiriloff is in LF and Sano at 1B? So, Sanchez basically sits 120 games? That all seems somewhat realistic. I just think people are jumping hte gun on Miranda opening on this roster (if they sign Story).
  25. Mike Sixel
    You really think they'll shelve Urshela for Miranda? I find that unlikely.
