    I can only assume Cave is playing to give him one last chance to be on this roster next year....because Refsnyder should be playing over him....
  2. Mike Sixel
    people listen while watching? Yuck.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Those other guys could field, even steal a base. This can't be a real comparison.

    Combination. I think age should 100% play a part. The issue with laying out an exact number/age combo is that it needs to move while A LOT of other things move too. Arbitration. Minimum salaries. Possibly a floor and ceiling. Possibly more revenue sharing.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of moving Gant into starting. Hoping it is a bullpen game....because he's been ok to good as a RP...and I don't want him messed up.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I would say that NO BLACKOUTS exist for teams not playing in the state where the people live (that is, Iowa gets to watch MLB baseball if they want).
  7. Mike Sixel
    I endorse this....with the addition of robot umpires. Probably in the 148-154 range for me on number of games. I'd also blow up the draft and playoffs, but zero people would like the playoff changes at first. Zero.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Interestingly, not one AWFUL team wanted to take a chance on him....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Yup....if you wait until the ONE YEAR...they aren't always there. Looking at the bad teams, not sure who the Twins can even trade for this year..... I do agree, if they aren't even going to get at least one great pitcher, just punt the year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Didn't Toronto just trade a top MI prospect?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I can't see them sitting him, rather than starting in AAA. But, I could be wrong, freely admit that.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I think they'll deal for a #2/3 type starter from their minor league depth. I think they'll sign a SS and/or SP to one year deals (mistake, imo). I think they'll sign Buxton. (which should be in your list)
  13. Mike Sixel
    both. He's dropped from a 60 to 55 at FGs, for example. And, he's out of the top 50 on many lists, no way it is just that 50 more ELITE prospects have been drafted.
  14. Mike Sixel
    The morning show For all mankind And coming soon.... Foundation
  15. Mike Sixel
    Yes, with limits. Less years than now, but not zero. Seriously. No one said that. Can we at least do this in good faith?
  16. Mike Sixel
    No one is suggesting free agency from day one.
  17. Mike Sixel
    One request.... Let us know what position Martin plays in the future.... Thanks. I do love these.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Arraez and polanco out of position? Yikes. We already know polanco is bad at short. Why would people think this is a good idea?
  19. Mike Sixel
    The Mets were just sold for a massive profit. People keep saying it will stop, but it doesn't. Zero people are saying the owners shouldn't make money. Some are saying they'd like players to make more, not less. Total payroll as a percent of revenue has dropped for several years now..... The players make pure profit? Is that how you view your wages? Wow.
  20. Mike Sixel
    They sell them for massive profit, like every other sale.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Sorry, was off by a bit.... Should be free today. https://cupofcoffee.substack.com/p/cup-of-coffee-august-19-2021
  22. Mike Sixel
    The only way pay goes up is if players have the right to move teams. Otherwise, why would you pay more? This literally just puts more money in the owner's pockets, as an easy calculation shows.
  23. Mike Sixel
    This proposal would decrease salaries by over 150 million this year......... And of course arbitration reduces compensation. This is a fact so indisputable it isn't worth discussing. If a team could sign kiriloff to a free agent deal, they'd pay him way more than he'll get in arbitration. Not even close.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Only if they can find a deal. It is much more complicated to deal in this future. Much.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This.
