    your contention is that someone is going to offer more than a top 10 pitching prospect in the future?
  2. Mike Sixel
    So, don't add more prospects, because adding 1-2 good ones from trading Dozier won't fix everything? So, basically, do no moves, because no one move will fix everything? Is that your argument? If not, help me understand that last sentence, please. I guess we'll find out if the young guys play. Plenty of people expect Berrios in AAA to start the year, to work on whatever Neil Allen thinks he's missing. If they do that, and he stays down in AAA for long, I can't imagine my interest in this team will increase. For a rebuilding team, not much rebuilding is going on.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Is every team's list that uninspiring?
  4. Mike Sixel
    How does English pass Granite or Wade to be a backup in this system? Hopefully he gets healthy.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Once again, the longer, earlier thread is shut down. I don't get it.

    the world in general. There seems to be an effect that if a player is positvely viewed, the board takes the word on the street as real (those parts of the board that BELIEVE in leadership being important, not those arguing leadership is less important, that's not the same as saying he's not a good leader), when guys have negative reps, but are good, people say still sign him. Just like bad dudes that play in the NFL but are great have lots of fans....
  7. Mike Sixel
    so, when someone is a "great leader", we take the peoples' word for it, but when he's not, we don't? Or am I misunderstanding all the talk about signing great veteran leaders?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think Seth means he autographed them....
  9. Mike Sixel
    so glad you didn't disappoint me. but really, what kind of cocktail?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Gin, or tequila?
  11. Mike Sixel
    take your ball, go home, lose 85+ games with perhaps the worst pitching staff in the majors? I like the way you think, sir.* *note, I am somewhat inclined to agree with you, but we don't know the offer. It isn't a switch, it's a dial. If it is close to "fair", and it gives them 2 pitchers they think are real, I probably do it if I have to swallow some pride.
  12. Mike Sixel
    really? wow. How is that good for development of pitchers?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Unreal. A multi-billion dollar industry, and they don't use the same ball in AAA as in the majors (probably other parts of the minors also). Talk about setting up players for failure....
  14. Mike Sixel
    If the ball is actually different (why the heck would MLB do that), I'd want him here with certainty, learning with that ball....
  15. Mike Sixel
    What more would you want Berrios to do in AAA.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I can't comment on my thoughts on this, given my job.....but there are some betting big on HC profits, and a smaller number of commentors I've read saying bad things....
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's my going in assumption also, so I guess those two are in order. Even then, they might keep him for his leadership of the staff, if he's good at that. Then again, Santiago and Gibson aren't rookies.....so who knows.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I have no issue holding onto ESan, I would just probably deal him now or at the deadline. Depends on the offers right now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I guess I was responding to "maybe we shouldn't have expected more" which was pretty much the post I responded to...... 1. Trade Dozier 2. Trade ESan 3. Sign a flyer (or two) RP 4. Sign a 4th OF 5. Cut Dan San those are not in order, just things I'd do/have done.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Everything? They have made 1 change to the worst team in baseball......that's hardly ANY thing, let alone everything.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I know someone who is a professor at WMU.... He and his friends think the guy is a great coach, if a bit over the top....
  22. Mike Sixel
    This, all this.
  23. Mike Sixel
    That, and as Bonnes pointed out, there has been exactly one SP as tall as Meyer that has ever been any good..... Oh, and Meyer is still a prospect, let's see what he does for the next few years before saying he's never going to be good. I still think they messed with his head pretty good the last few years....but as Bonnes points out....
  24. Mike Sixel
    No, prospects are potential future MLB starters, not hope. An organization pays scouts, lots of scouts, to analyze and asses ball players. Prospects aren't hope, they are assets, that can gain or lose value, just like Dozier. So, no, that's just not true at all. Prospects aren't about hope, they are about managing assets.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'll give you 4:1 odds right now, Brock, they aren't an 83 win team. PM me if interested.
