    They weren't getting him, or any good, catcher for 1 year. This is the price of FAs.....It would also be great to get Kershaw for Dozier, but that's not realistic either (and yes, that was smart alecky....this site is too serious lately).
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't know how anyone can be disappointed in moving on from Plouffe, and signing an actual defensive catcher......two good moves on the field, imo.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm happy for your lack of disappointment. Everyone should be appointed (is that the oppo?).
  4. Mike Sixel
    Bull ****. On behalf of my sons, who are in that generation, you are wrong, very wrong, to disparage an entire generation. But go ahead generalize.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I will not judge them based on Ryan tinted glasses....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'm not.....but others are, and poo pooing their concerns seems like a brush off of people that others don't agree with, without even making an effort to understand their concerns. I don't know how to make that more clear...chitown got it.
  7. Mike Sixel
    None of that has anything to do with what I posted.....so far, we are seeing more insiders than outsiders come into the org....that's what people are reacting to. Not saying it is good or bad, saying that anyone who can't understand the angst isn't actually trying at all to understand people that don't agree with them...the major issue in this world, frankly.
  8. Mike Sixel
    In fairness....NOTHING other than two new hires has really changed, right? Still the same scouts, minor league managers and coaches and staff, still mostly the same major league staff.... You really can't understand anyone looking and thinking, "what has changed"? I don't care about this much, but I can certainly understand how people can look at this as the same old same old....
  9. Mike Sixel
    And, the resistance to this should be pretty easy to understand....the number 1 complaint about the org, from many here, is that they don't bring in outside voices or even players (Jason Bartlett, seriously)...and this looks suspiciously like the past. Not saying it is or isn't, but not understanding peoples' fear about this seems like it is just ignoring the last 20 years....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Lots of former players have joined front offices, and it has completely bombed.....just because you play doesn't mean you are a good coach/instructor/whatever their role is. That said, as long as there is now 1 message, from top to bottom, I'm willing to see how it works. That clearly was NOT the case last year or the year before, from what the pitching coach has said.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Awesome first post!
  12. Mike Sixel
    They aren't getting a really good player back w/o giving up De Leon, or 4 others.....no way a team trades a player like Dozier w/o 1 great upside player (or lots of really good prospects).
  13. Mike Sixel
    While I don't agree with bcs4....I love how he/she posts. passion and logic...
  14. Mike Sixel
    No team is trading two good MLB starters for Dozier, or most anyone not named Trout or Bryant, or one of 2-5 others. If people won't trade Dozier for top SP prospects, they would never trade any veteran to get younger and more players. Which is fine.....just glad you aren't the GM.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Huh, didn't know that about LF/RF.....up until I thought Sano was the long term 1B, I thought Kepler was...
  16. Mike Sixel
    Wouldn't it make more sense for Palka to be at 1B, given their speed and arms?
  17. Mike Sixel
    True, but then who is in RF? Really, I only want THAT 1B prospect because he's a great prospect. I think Sano is the 1B long term, if not some other stud.
  18. Mike Sixel
    None of those guys are even in A+ ball yet, are they?......hard to tell how good they really are. And, isn't Bellinger one of the top prospects in all of the minors....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Except this isn't a coin toss....some teams are more talented, and more likely to make it. I bet my odds are closer, actually. This isn't a random event.... You expect them to win in the mid-80s next year? What are the odds of that, given the last 5 years, and last year in particular?
  20. Mike Sixel
    How'd that work out last year, with Dozier? They NEED pitching. The won't buy it.....how do you propose they get it?
  21. Mike Sixel
    You don't set strategy based on .00001%.....do you?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Welcome to the site.... they were the worst team in all of baseball last year, and have been one of the 5 worst for 4 of the last 5 years....do you expect them to compete next year? I don't. As for reasons to watch the team, I disagree. Most fans watch teams that win, not 1 player in baseball....and certainly not Dozier.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Does anyone think Claeys has done a good job recruiting? Seriously?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Rebuild your team around Dozier? He is signed for 2 more years....and he will be over 30..... If you don't trade valuable pieces, you don't get value back. As for the SPs in the minors, NONE look like legit number 2 types. How do you propose acquiring good/great pitchers, if you won't trade for them?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ugh.....depressing cross post! 8-4 is fine if you actually play Michigan, OSU, and Penn State......
