    Not true at all. Have you looked at the studies in top 100 rankings and eventual WAR? Do you really think teams don't have similar rankings, that they consider, when making trades?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Have you seen the studies on rankings and WAR for top 100 players? Because they are mostly right, assuming you don't expect perfection in predicting the future..

    Machado did not earn his money last year......but that doesn't excuse people here saying it was a bad deal (which plenty have)....or should we judge 26 year olds on one year, and not the next 7?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Well, Fangraphs has just such a thing for their stats. I like wrc+ for hitters. Pitchers? I waffle....

    Finished season 2 of Jack Ryan. Generally entertaining tv, if a bit more rambo than the early novels were......which isn't a surprise.

    On the plus side, there are no coaching excuses they can use this year. It's not totally new systems, they picked these guys, they've been here, etc.

    Pirates starting their rebuild, trading Marte. I imagine Archer is available, but at a price that considers him a two or three, not what he was last year.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm certainly not going to argue the Myers and Hosmer deals being bad.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Hosmser=bad......Machado? Hard to say. He was 26 when signed......so I am still baffled by all the "he didn't get them to the playoffs in year one of an 8 year deal, so it sucked" takes.....

    In fairness, the CBs were all injured....... Outside the OL and QBs, I think Spielman has done a good, not great, job at drafting. Of course, those are two pretty big issues for this team......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Well, they can't whine about consistency.... As the OC is a familiar face
  12. Mike Sixel
    this is from the onion?
  13. Mike Sixel
    the post said figure out who is good, and trade the rest.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    MLB has said they investigated this and found no evidence of it.
  15. Mike Sixel
    why is anyone trading for a pitcher that no one thinks will be impact? That part of this argument never makes sense to me....
  16. Mike Sixel
    35-50% is a nearly 50% increase in odds....that would be massive. Massive.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Looks like Beltran is stepping down........
  18. Mike Sixel
    It has pretty much been the philosophy of this FO not to draft pitching early.......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think a couple AAA minor league deals for veterans will come......and nothing else. I know a lot of people think they can just trade for pitchers at the deadline, but they passed on that opportunity last deadline. And, not many great starters are actually dealt every deadline. 2-4 at most. I'm not sure it is a slam dunk they'll do so if they need to. Right now they are set up for 90-94 wins, I'd think. 95 is the tough spot for the O/U for me. If Buxton is healthy and the young pitchers don't implode, I like the over. If Berrios or Odo gets hurt, or if the young guys aren't good, I like the under....... The starting pitching is high variance right now....

    I have no idea the point of that last scene, nor was that what I thought you meant at all. That last scene was stupid and added nothing to the story. To my question, what was the point of the portal? The BCR should have been there from the beginning. I didn't like everything about therm, but they were more effective rebels than the people in season one. I do think there was room for more character growth, agreed, but that wasn't my biggest issue. And yes, it tied up pretty fast there at the end......

    Isn't signing Bailey signing a pitcher just to sign a pitcher? Not one person has argued sign someone just to sign someone. Why do people keep throwing up straw men? What track record is there in Minnesota, in three plus years, at this point? I mean, it could all work out, which is pretty much the OPs argument.... Or it might not, which doesn't seem acknowledged.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Obvious far left agenda? Like freedom? Sigh. Anyway. What was the point of the portal? Other than smithy becoming obsessed with his son, did it advance the plot at all? Not the film's, the portal. I was glad Smith was not redeemed, but I had a fleeting moment where I hoped he sent the bombers to Berlin....
  23. Mike Sixel
    that is the maximum allowable fine......and those 4 picks are worth in the $35MM range, or more in value. Other than taking away international money, not sure what more people want. It seems pretty clear the owner knew nothing, and even told them literally not to do this kind of thing....
  24. Mike Sixel
    This is the Rockies we are talking about......but sure, they all work for me......
  25. Mike Sixel
    I was thinking the Rockies would want Rosario in that deal......
