    Fair, I admit, I've wanted them to get Castro for like three years now.....so that might be clouding my brain some...
  2. Mike Sixel
    ah, I read 13/14 in MLB! apologies.

    I don't agree that EVERY decision has to be about 2018 or 19....they need to help the pitchers they have, even learning and working with a good, veteran, catcher could help young players. I don't agree that all 25 guys need to be about "are they here"....the young players need a veteran or three (that can actually play), imo.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a Garver believer......I just want an actual catcher this year that is really good at defense and framing. You know, like I want defense to matter in the OF and other positions....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I just don't think Garver is ready....what, like, 20 games at AAA? This slow pedal thru A ball, and rush thru AA/AAA thing is so backward to me.....

    I'd sign this guy: Willians Astudillo, C, 2.2 WAR http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/projecting-the-minor-league-free-agent-hitters/ To a AAA deal, with a good chance to be the 2nd catcher to start the year. Can't be worse than Centeno....

    10 million a year is the going prices for good, but not great, FAs..... What if Garver or Murphy is never ready? What if having a great pitch framer helps the young pitchers? What if they platoon Castro and one of those guys? I really don't see the downside here.

    Most players go to the highest bidder, unless they have family location preferences. Even then, unless the money is close.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Can he even hit a barn? At all?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I thought a moderator told us to stop with this....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Fidelity for me. Partly because my company's retirement is managed there
  12. Mike Sixel
    So, the plan is everything works our perfectly, and they go from 30th to above average in runs allowed? That seems like a plan not too likely to work out.... where does Polanco play, if you keep Dozier?
  13. Mike Sixel
    The fact they hired Allen, and did not immediately have him run the philosophy for the whole org speaks volumes about their leadership structure, and ability to have a PROCESS that works. Let's hope they have an actual leader for pitching now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I really can't endorse a plan that assumes they compete next year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    anyone follow me into NVIDIA at the beginning of the year? Or later? Or even yesterday? Seriously, it is insanely high....but it will go higher (assuming there is no recession to drag down the whole market).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Based on his never having coached before in his life? Welcome to the site, but I don't want someone who has never coached at any level as a MLB coach.
  17. Mike Sixel
    fair, but asking people to worry about this seems, um, unlikely to be a priority for them.
  18. Mike Sixel
    so, no more links to mlbtraderumors unless I say the original source? same with every other link?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Garver has, what, 20 games in AAA? And less than a full year in AA? That's the plan, one guy that can maybe hit but isn't much defensively, and a guy that was in AA last year?
  20. Mike Sixel
    yes, we should all spend time trying to properly source items. It's our obligation, or something.
  21. Mike Sixel
    This.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Awesome tool! thanks everyone.
  23. Mike Sixel
    And how does signing Castro hurt that, assuming he stays a very good defensive catcher? that's what we are talking about...right?
  24. Mike Sixel
    sounds like you are in full rebuild mode.....and, if you are punting next year, you are saying they have a 3 year window, good luck with that all working out.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ah, so if someone is wrong on something, you should never listen to them. That leaves, um, zero people to listen to or do work. Seriously.
