    From what I read online.....winter trades return more than summer trades, but maybe that's not right.... I agree with the watcher of birds....things look bleak for at least the first half of next year. Maybe longer.

    Wow, this is a tough one....... Locks for me: Chargois Rogers Older guys I'd keep around, probably, though with short leashes: Kintzler Pressley Guys I think should move up from the minors and be semi locks: Hildenberger Reed I'd consider having Wimmers be the long guy, but frankly, not sure why that isn't Milone's job....

    there is no realistic path from here to a playoff spot, I guess, imo, we are now arguing semantics. Is a playoff path realistic at all, in your opinion? say, even 25%?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Any roster that doesn't have Berrios in the rotation on day one, I don't get. What is he learning in AAA at this point? They let Viola sink, then swim....
  5. Mike Sixel
    No one said impossible....but how should you PLAN......that's the question. Seriously good straw man though.
  6. Mike Sixel
    only if you assume they don't get better. I think this is a pretty weak argument.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They are losing 85-90 games, does it really matter? Isn't 2018 and beyond more important?
  8. Mike Sixel
    There are no FA pitchers available, you can erase that. no one is trading a MLB starter for Dozier, not that has more than 1-2 years left on his "goodness".
  9. Mike Sixel
    Easier than finding SPs, yes. I do. though, yes, I am skeptical....very skeptical. I see no path to enough SPs next year, hence I would try something completely different and see if it works. But only if I was a new GM, because any GM at risk of losing her job could never try something this off the wall.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well, I did lay this out once, I'll see if I can find it. You need less pitchers than you'd think, and mediocre RPs going thru a lineup one time are A LOT more effective than bad SPs doing it three times.... I also think I had 3 "real" starters in that document. If I find it, or not, I may post it as a new thread. I see no good path to 5 good SPs in MN next year, let alone the 7 you need to make thru the year (heck, not sure I see a good path to 3 or 4).
  11. Mike Sixel
    why? Teams send players to AAA all the time. If you have terrible starters, you should be open to trying something else. I predict that eventually a team will do this....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I have previously suggested something similar, for real. 1. Santana starts 2. Berrios starts 3-5.....start guys for 1-2 times thru the rotation, then bring in the next guys, then the next guys. Rotate people up and down from AAA every few weeks. Duffey for 9-18 hitters, then May, then regular bullpen. These guys would go every 3-4 days, and you'd need about 8 of them. That's why you'd need to rotate thru AAA.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Short sighted? I'd say long sighted. They aren't winning next year, why keep him around, if they can get a much younger player that MIGHT be good?
  14. Mike Sixel
    By this logic, every non-pitcher is ancillary. Because no hitter can effect what other hitters do, and can only barely effect what pitchers do (on defense). I think there is a zero percent chance we will agree on this.

    Your mom was born?

    Hmmm....best bday stories..... Well, at 21 (even though the drinking age was 18....), my fraternity brothers fed me full up with Jagermeister, and then I did embarrassing things I don't need to type out here, including uttering "she wants me" about a waitress after she and others saw me puke. Proud moment.....I haven't even tried to drink that in the last 31 years... At 40, my wife thru a very nice surprise party for me. More and more people just kept showing up, and I got to show off my new grill, and my old grill. I had one going for people that don't eat pork....and one for the majority of people. for my 50th, we were in the Caribbean, on St. .John UVI, which was awesome. We did a lot of fun things on that trip.
  17. Mike Sixel
    How so? There are 9-13 other players playing every game....even if Dozier put up 12 WAR*, if the SP gives up 6 runs a game, and the other players are all bad......how could Dozier change this team's success one way or the other over 162 games? *choose your stats, you know what I mean.
  18. Mike Sixel
    or base running.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great.....that isn't really the point, and no one on this thread argued about WAR being perfect, no one.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious.....you think Trout is not valuable, and Dozier is not valuable, because the teams are bad?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Well, that's a plus (the creator part) for sure.
  22. Mike Sixel
    "how can he be a HoF player, he was only MVP once!"
  23. Mike Sixel
    For me, it is pretty simple.....if you could add one player, for one year, based on last year's stats......and were starting from scratch....who would you pay the most money for? He's the most valuable. Because, you know, we measure value in money.....which player's one year performance would you pay the most money for if budget is no constraint (that is, not $/WAR or whatever)? That's pretty much Trout every year for 5 years, imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Happy birthday. Make it a great year!
  25. Mike Sixel
    And, imo, once again, they will steal it from Trout. We don't agree on the definition of most valuable...
