    Even though I predicted they'd keep Cron, I'm ok with them not doing so right now. Good luck to him, and the Twins.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm predicting a 1 year deal for Cron for $6MM.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Nothing worse than signing bad players, and then playing them at least half a year......
  4. Mike Sixel
    I hear Morgan isn't open to the new stathead thing, so maybe not him.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    That also means you can give up on trading for a Reds' pitcher.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I am going to assume that means the Reds aren't selling......so cross off some possible trade targets....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I assume, then, you won't make a trade of a good prospect either? Because a good prospect is worth more than a 2nd round pick, not to mention what multiple good prospects are worth compared to one 2nd round pick....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I bet they expect to compete this year, or next. I can't see them giving up anyone that will be controlled beyond this year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    He has 5 years of control left. Other than last year, and Miami, I can't think of pitchers like that being traded. Here is a good write-up on him. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/can-john-means-build-on-a-strong-rookie-season/

    I'm perusing the starting pitchers that were good last year....there aren't a lot on non-playoff teams. Especially if you eliminate any with only a year or two in the majors. Other than the Marlins pitcher last year, it's hard to think of starters traded with more than 2-3 years of control left. I think trading is going to be difficult, and pricey.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Thorpe should move to the pen now, and not spend another year as a starter. Just as Rogers should have moved a year earlier.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't think Astudillo is a good hitter long term, and I don't think he's a good catcher. I hope they have someone else here to start the year at catcher behind Garver
  13. Mike Sixel
    That sarcasm part almost slipped by me.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    They have fifty to seventy million in payroll space. Why not sign good players? You think a contending team should go into the year with two rookie pitchers, and sign a guy that is going to miss one fourth of his starts, so you need another rookie for those starts?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Except zero sum isn't better. And, Pineda is highly rated, not someone no one had thought of and no one is interested in. The post I responded to said find someone better, that no one is interested in....
  16. Mike Sixel
    What is?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Over paid, as in they won't be good? Or that they might be worth a few million less? Because those are two different things....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Find a better pitcher that no one is interested in? How does that work? Where do people think these pitchers are going to come from? If you think a team should wait until it is good to sign free agents, you get the list that is available at that point.... Not some list that doesn't exist.
  19. Mike Sixel
    No issues. I still don't understand list year's playing time.... And am, therefore, concerned about next year's. So we agree!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe don't run the ball on third and ten, twice in the second half, basically giving up the drive? Play to win....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure what that has to do with wanting him to play more than he oddly did last year, even after Cron was ineffective.
  22. Mike Sixel
    One win against a real team, and that was lucky. Hopefully next year they will change my mind.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I will be disappointed with the team if Garver doesn't play more....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I really don't think people understand these posts....
  25. Mike Sixel
    There are not contracts that can be voided if there is a suspension..... Because a team could, theoretically do something to get a player suspended....
