    Speechless......

    I don't see a good reason to protect Rooker.....I could be wrong, but I'd rather Larnach be the DH/OF, with Martin in left, or Ref dude whose name I can't spell. Or Donaldson at DH and Miranda or Arraez at third. Or Arraez at DH.

    Who had 10 strikeouts on their bingo card? I admit to true amazement. Good for him!
  4. Mike Sixel
    Like Mauer or Buxton? Sano? Kiriloff?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Great then Moran. Or someone else. A 35 year old is not part of the future.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Rooker is probably not a MLB player. Hated that pick. Hated it at the time. Wish I was wrong back then....
  7. Mike Sixel
    My bad....I thought they used him as a starter to start this year. As for command... Pretty sure that was as a starter. He's in your bullpen next year for sure, pending health. 29 isn't old.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Gant is the poster child for moving guys to the bullpen..... Looks like a great trade! That's three guys for next year's bullpen.... Plus alcala....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Concur. They need to sign one and trade for one and get lucky. More improbable things have happened....I don't think it is likely at all, but it isn't inconceivable either. They need a SS badly also.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well played.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think people forget they are nearly .500 the just two months....add Buxton. Get a real SS....boom, five more wins, give or take. It's all about health and finding two good pitchers as starters.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Add me to the surprised list.... Pleasantly.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Rosario was traded for nothing this year. He's just not that good. They took over a terrible team, and made it a 100 win team.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I thought he was injured.
  15. Mike Sixel
    How do you propose building a bullpen next year, if zero guys from the minors get try outs this year? Sign mediocre guys? Start rookies with zero experience?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Who worries about service time for relief pitchers?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Any RP over thirty not named Rogers or Duffey. The goal should be finding pitchers for next year, of which Cano has a legit shot. I get there is a possible 40 man crunch, but they can figure it out. If Cano isn't on the roster next year, he probably will never be.
  18. Mike Sixel
    As someone said above, it didn't matter who he brought in earlier this year, they'd fail.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Esp for RPs in their mid to late 20s.......(really, any RP).
  20. Mike Sixel
    How much do you think a manager matters? I mean, a FA player gets about $7-8MM per win......and only a handful of managers make even $5MM.....I can't see that they matter that much. Probably 2-3 wins, making them underpaid relative to players. I could be wrong, maybe they are worth a lot more, but then I'd think they'd be paid a lot more.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Calling up Nick Vincent in a lost year reduces my trust in the FO by a considerable amount. I really do not understand what they are doing with the bullpen right now. Maybe I should stop trying to give them a chance.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    They just called up Nick Vincent in an evaluation year. Speechless. I'm losing confidence 100% at this point. Like, wtaf?
  23. Mike Sixel
    That's 1 starting pitcher. Seems pretty bad to me. Awful even. I do agree that the core of this roster is from Ryan, but that is what we'd expect at this point in the process for sure. Next year and beyond is the real test of this FO. Larnach, Jeffers, and some pitchers need to be good.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Or Cano. It isn't like Cano is a spring chicken. I really don't get this. I'd have preferred any of those three to Vincent. Here's hoping they are right......and I'm not.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He played in 155 games in 2019....He had 2 seasons playing less than 155 before that. Yes, 2 they were 18 and 17..... People scream and yell they never sign big time FAs, then when they do, and something bad happens it was a bad signing. Dude got hurt, after playing in almost every game in 2019.....I really don't know how to judge year 1, since it wasn't a full year. Look, my main point about that list remains....how does it compare to other teams? Lastly, we won't agree on this, so I doubt I'll reply to anything else on this part of the topic. IMO, they are likely about middle of the road in FA. That isn't good enough when your system is weak, we agree on that. It isn't good enough when your budget is limited and you can't afford mistakes. But I'm not here to say they are bad at it, without context about how well other teams do. I'm here to say a: we don't know and b: they need to be better, but I don't know they are bad at it.
