    What did the broom yell when it jumped out of the closet? supplies!

    I'm guessing 8 290 for Cole. But I literally have no idea now. Well, it won't be less than 7. And it will be at least $35MM per year....so I have some idea.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I've read that offer is bunk. OTOH, I've read they will be making an offer to Cole today.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why not?

    If the infield defense was good, I'd go with the Keuchel plan, but no way I do that with Sano, Polanco, Arraez in the infield. No way. And I like Keuchel..... I can't decide between the other two. I lean the expensive pitcher plan, because I just don't see how they get another good pitcher w/o spending money on one, and I don't think they have enough pitching to be elite as a team right now......but Ryu makes me nervous, and I have no idea what Bumgarner is or is not going forward (I think good, like #3 or better with flashes of #1 sometimes).....But the 3B is a much safer bet.....but then, you can find good 3B much easier than good SP (and next year's FA pitching class is meh)...... So, um, Bumgarner I guess.

    Holy balls. that was a good decision to opt out... Stephen Strasburg’s deal with the Washington Nationals is for seven years and $245 million, a source tells ESPN.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Strasburg has re-upped with the Nats. No terms yet, but I'm guessing this will clue us in on the Cole ranges.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  9. Mike Sixel
    My bad. I literally thought it was the opposite. So teams can mess with incentives, but players can't be rewarded for good play? Odd rules.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Those types of contract are not allowed, since teams could easily circumvent them.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Like whom this year, can you get not in their decline or risky years, that you think is great? What does that fifty million available mean, if you won't spend it on possibly risky deals? Trades require trading valuable players, if you think of them as assets, you are likely spending as much or more in trades as signings, unless you can point to many odorizzi like trades around the league.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Correct.
  13. Mike Sixel
    No real surprise. That's how I would start negotiations if I was him. I have no idea how he'll age..... It's surely risky, but so is trusting bad players to get better, like Perez, or rookies to be good.
  14. Mike Sixel
    His most tongue in cheek article of the year. His most read article of the year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Like Pineda, who only pitched 25 percent of his contract, and hasn't pitched a full season in five years? If you want free agents, and they are really good, you have to pay for their decline. You can always pay on them, but then you have to be significantly better at trades and development than everyone else that is competitive.

    Minnesota beat one good team, and Auburn is over rated? I think Minnesota will be fortunate to win this game. They are still not as deeply talented as the top teams. Hopefully, this year's success helps change that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They are thirty million under last year. They lose Cruz after this year. They likely lose Rosario. They won't sign Garver to a long term deal, he can't be a free agent until he is 31. That leaves Sano, Buxton and Berrios to sign. They have plenty of money to add a great player, and sign those players, and stay under last year's budget.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The owners are not taking any real risk. They could lose the team, and still be rich beyond belief. All they are risking is making less profit. Players are not making all the money they want. Not even close. Revenue is rising faster than pay, league wide. The money either goes to the players, or the owners. Why anyone wants it to go to the owners more than the people doing the work is incomprehensible to me.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The first year did, should we ignore the rest of the post? Should Philly, if they have the money to add players, not? And punt seasons?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Of course.
  21. Mike Sixel
    My guess is that is enough, I don't believe this team believes it's budget is that high.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Like whom? What great pitcher is on a bad team, with only a year or two of control?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I was excited. I wanted him up and playing, even more. Certainly didn't expect last year, but he's always been a good hitter.
  24. Mike Sixel
    How would that hamstring the team? They have thirty or forty million to work with. Cruz comes off next year. Probably Rosario. Where else are they going to spend money? Buxton, Berrios and Sano, maybe. Not Garver, he's an older catcher. Next year's free agent pitching class is not pretty.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He's getting at least six years... Do you think they will pay that? They can literally sure any player, but I'm trying to be realistic
