    It does seem odd Duffey hasn't pitched... Hughes can be crafty for a bit, but it is likely not going to work for the next 2-3 years. And, if his FB is slower, in a year when they changed technology and everyone is FASTER, that's really bad....

    I pointed out that the farm system is not currently considered one of the best. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't want to clutter a draft thread with this discussion.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Almost none of whom were acquired in the last 5 years in the draft or IFA.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention the farm system isn't exactly highly ranked....so what they have been doing hasn't been working all that well.

    As I said in the general draft thread, KLAW has his top 50 up. McKay is third, btw..... I'm not going to rip a Greene, McKay or Wright pick (assuming Wright looks great the rest of the year). Anyone else? I'm going to seriously question the new FO. There is a MN HS kid he has 15th....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, they are loaded at SS (heh), but have no real 3B at all.
  7. Mike Sixel
    scoops are included, but as you point out, most MLB 1B can scoop the ball. The delta between good and great isn't as large for 1B as it is for SS or CF.
  8. Mike Sixel
    let's hope that happens again!

    Big Polanco fan.

    If Buxton has Becker's career, that will be bad. Very bad. How were Becker's previous 450 ABs?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Luis Arraez
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention two major season ending injuries to a first round pick, and a guy everyone had ranked as a really good prospect.
  13. Mike Sixel
    all those things are true, though. Being disappointed at what looked like 3 guys who might help this year, being this? That seems reasonable to me....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm very conflicted on this. While I think they need to be playing for the future this year, if you have a chance to win a game, I think you have to PH for him. And yes, that seems contradictory, but I don't think it is. You give him a chance to play, but you are also honoring the other players in game. PH Vargas (or Kepler) for him is also about the future.
  15. Mike Sixel
    And it isn't sustainable to be that good, last year the TOP player had around half.....for /150. And, a lot of people here are super down on the defensive metrics, so I am assuming they think Buxton is worth less than this....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Mid-June, imo. He'll have been given 200 ABs or so, by then. That's enough consistent chances to see if he needs to go down. The real question is, what do his approach/results need to look like to stay?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd say that any fan that expected a good season this year was setting themselves up for disappointment. This is a mid70s win team, that needs to see what players are good or not. Frankly, I wish they'd actually commit to rebuilding, but that does not seem to be the path.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It hurt my eyes to look at any of those numbers.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's almost like those first 450 ABs never happened, and people are only judging him on this year! Seth, if the Astros offered you Correa for Buxton, you'd say what?
  20. Mike Sixel
    thanks, that was my question....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Wow, Escobar and Santiago are the only two traded for.......that's bad.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Heh, right in there he says to look at rosterresource.com....and its there!
  23. Mike Sixel
    ya, that wasn't broken out, and google didn't return many good options for this kind of thing in my limited search.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'd forgotten about this (projections, not sure if they've done one where you see the actuals): http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-the-teams-were-built/ sort by trades, not pretty......note that while they have 15 drafted players in 2016, those 15 account for only 12.5 WAR (that's not a great ratio, btw).
  25. Mike Sixel
    Really not a fan of platooning a 22/3 year old, in his first full season, on a losing team. Really not a fan. How many games has he sat?
