    Royce Lewis. Or Simeon Woods Richardson. I think Martin will be starting about half the year for MN, either at SS or LF/CF (depending on Buxton's status).
  2. Mike Sixel
    If they think they might be a SB team, they should go for Cam.....but I doubt he comes to MN.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why? I love his hair.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Guess they weren't playing service time games with Ryan (shocker some here were wrong about that).....
  5. Mike Sixel
    This made me happy. Thank you. Great news! No idea if Ryan will be legit or not, but if he is, that's a GREAT trade (I could see him as Joe Nathan, which would also be great, btw.).
  6. Mike Sixel
    Right, I always forget him for some reason.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Ryan starting for the saints? I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed that would make me in this front office.

    I agree that signing more than one number 4 type is a huge blunder. But maybe 1..... The key is signing a legit FA or trading for one. If they are lucky and Ober is this good, they sign a legit FA #2 type, and one guy is a 2 or 3 and they have a bunch of 3/4/5 types, the starters are ok. Not great, but ok to good. Maybe good enough to trade for a short term rental at the deadline. But, it all depends on Ober/Ryan being ready day 1, one of them being a 3 or better, and getting a legit #2 type in FA/trade (and, preferably one more #3/4 type). But, it seems a LONG SHOT, and it might, might, be better to just get 1 legit veteran, and give all the young guys try outs and experience. I was for trading for Means, but man, he has struggled in the 2nd half.

    Attendance is mostly driven (non-pandemic years, according to years of data) by last year's record. That's set in stone at this point. I'm not sure what can be said about that that is interesting or important.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I see no evidence for most of this post. But, that's ok. We can disagree.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Doesn't make it acceptable. You want to be the best, be the best. IMO, of course.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Lots of people are being critical of that pick in the daily minors' updates. I wasn't a fan, but it is too early to say one way or the other. I have my doubts.....but then, I have my doubts about Lewis and this year's pick (and hated the Rooker selection). So, I clearly don't love how they draft, so I'm not sure I'm free of bias here.... edit to add: We can definitely not look at him and think GREAT PICK right now.... And, how can he be out of shape? A professional athlete with a first round bonus (so he can afford training)? If true, he should be embarrassed.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Interesting. That was not my understanding. I probably won't research it, as I thought I had. Given that NO ONE did, though, I find it hard to believe they could. That said, I would endorse any company that did that.
  14. Mike Sixel
    A team could not mandate vaccines because the FDA had not yet approved one. That would be a violation of law, unfortunately. Now that they have....a business can.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Someone has to pitch.. the minors are filled with fringe players.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    They aren't playing service time games with pitchers in their mid twenties...
  17. Mike Sixel
    I always viewed him as the bonus part of the trade.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Bummer. I hate it when humans get injured.
  19. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, what year did the Sox sign that many expensive players? What year did any team?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ober. and Um.....hmmmmm. no other starter right now? In the bullpen, Duffey, Gant, and Taylor Rogers. Most likely Jax or Dobnak in relief / AAA. Alcala in AAA to start the year. After that? Anyone's guess.
  21. Mike Sixel
    What position is Martin playing these days?
  22. Mike Sixel
    They should have traded Kepler while they were winning divisions? They should not have traded prospects when they were winning divisions? They should have magically only traded bad prospects for good players?
  23. Mike Sixel
    They have a ton of minor league depth. I expect a trade for a decent to good starter. I expect a good free agent. And Ober. After that? Well, Ryan should be up getting his feet wet...... Mostly it will have to be extreme good luck for next year to work.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I understand not calling Ben up, frankly.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Happy Buxton is back. Not happy Albers is starting and not Ryan (who could have not pitched in St. Paul).
