    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....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, they are loaded at SS (heh), but have no real 3B at all.
  3. 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.

    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?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Luis Arraez
  8. 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.
  9. 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....
  10. 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.

    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....
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It hurt my eyes to look at any of those numbers.
  15. 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?
  16. Mike Sixel
    thanks, that was my question....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Wow, Escobar and Santiago are the only two traded for.......that's bad.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Heh, right in there he says to look at rosterresource.com....and its there!
  19. 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.
  20. 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).
  21. 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?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I had no idea no one developed their own starters. Where do they all come from? Trades? We'll agree they've utterly failed at trades lately. How can you see rosters and how players were acquired?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Most teams have their best SP they developed internally be Kyle Gibson? He's pretty much been the only SP to last more than 2 years in, what, the last 5+ years?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I suggest drinking rum, personally.... if you are legal to do so, of course.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Nicely done. Imagine living next to one of these massive crow farms!
