    I know chief will love this, but it is one of the uses of WAR....comparing value across positions.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Those guys aren't paid that much now, and we are going to assume he keeps up his career numbers as he enters his mid-30s? this is all about the intangible stuff, imo.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I hope the Yankees lose this bet, and own Jacoby millions more in damages. I'd say the same thing if it was the Twins.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Again, it's the pattern, not the specifics. Every time there is a big trade, the TWins somehow don't match up. Every time.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Better than Wheeler, and not from a non-playoff team, where he wasn't the team's best pitcher. Like whom?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Interesting. If he works out, it is a great bargain. Under rated in these kinds of deals is the budget certainty (assuming he plays) it brings. They now know what 1B will be costing them for the next 6 years, give or take. Understanding your costs helps a FO plan a lot.
  7. Mike Sixel
    By this logic, you basically sign no one?

    “it’s also undeniable that Abreu has emerged as the heart of the White Sox in recent years. The front office, ownership and teammates alike have lauded Abreu for his leadership and the manner in which he mentors young players as they arrive on the scene. He’s also a fixture in the community on the south side of Chicago and is generally beloved by Sox fans. All of that surely factors in when pricing out a deal and is particularly likely to resonate with owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who has been vocal about his desire to keep Abreu in a Sox uniform (as has GM Rick Hahn).” https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/white-sox-extend-jose-abreu.html

    That is not attractive. Lego is insulted by your post...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well written. I enjoyed this one a lot.

    It will weaken 2B....but they will have added Darvish or Bryant....not sure the team is weaker overall. I think Gordon will be ready this summer. If Lewis is the stud everyone believes, he might be ready to come up this year at some point. If they have to downgrade at 2B (offensively) to add Darvish, I'm all in.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Like I said on Nick's pro FO article, we just don't have enough evidence yet.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on the one year thing. For two years of Bryant, yes. For one year? No.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Way too much for Abreu. They must really be planning to up the budget.
  15. Mike Sixel
    For either Darvish or Bryant without hesitation. I'd have to think about others.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't think CO is a seller, btw.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I agree, I was more thinking Corbin's AAV. I'm guessing 5 years around 110 million or so.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Based on what? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/instagraphs/yasmani-grandal-gets-his-multi-year-deal/
  20. Mike Sixel
    No way I'd do that. Buxton is here for three more years. No way. Zero. Nada. Nil. Nyet.* I'd deal any two minor league players not in their top ten. I"d deal Rosario, since he only has two more years left here. I'd not do any deal if it kept them from budgeting money for an elite SP. *I know those words don't all mean exactly the same thing.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I bet they are trying on every SP the Twins are.....we'll see if either wins the competition.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Sean 2:01 with jhoan duran added to the 40 man so you think he gets a crack in the majors in 2020? Keith Law 2:01 Yes, in some role.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Like whom? the players that are available are the players that are available. Next year's SP market looks not so good, btw....
  24. Mike Sixel
    The Sloth 1:43 Any surprises among those left exposed to the Rule 5 Draft? Keith Law 1:43 No, not really. The rule 5 draft is a huge waste of time.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I really think this calls into question paying Abreu as much as they did.......they really need to go get at least one SP....
