    the money they spent is irrelevant at this point. Will he be taken? Does it matter? I'm going with no, he will not be taken, and rolling the dice.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Concur. 100%.

    No one said sure fire. I responded to a post that said no mid market team ever trades prospects to get better when they aren't already good. I merely pointed out one team that does. No one said it always works.... What we've said is that prospects don't either, and maybe trading them sometimes is a good idea... No one said it will always work.

    Howie Kendrick is a better option than EE. Way cheaper, can still hit and field first.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Yes. SF is in denial.... They should have dealt him already.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I believe Chief's point is not about these two on particular, but in putting so much value into prospects..... It's a pattern, not a one off.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He should take it, and yes, he'll be traded at the deadline.

    If you don't sign, or otherwise acquire, a veteran you expect to start, then two rookies will be there. If you do sign a veteran to start, he'll get the start unless he gets hurt. They won't have an open competition for the fourth spot if they bring in three veteran starters.

    Milwaukee says hi.
  10. Mike Sixel
    He'd be crazy not to take the money.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Kendrick is probably as good as cron, and cheaper. Can also play other positions if needed besides first.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why would the White Sox offer a QO to Abreu? They can get that level of 1B production for A LOT less money.... mind. boggling.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I was never high on him......perfect trade candidate all along, imo. Oh well. This FO better be better than the last one at drafting pitchers.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    A friendly reminder of why it is ok to trade prospects..... I gotta admit I'm surprised that a pitching STARVED team would do this......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I get the Gonsalves move......this team has 1 starting pitcher on the MLB roster, two if you count Dobnak.......
  16. Mike Sixel
    5-10 million more per year matters, yes. This is their job, and the chance to make sure their heirs' heirs don't need to work if they don't want to. But no bad team is going to pay the money needed for these older players. A team like the Padres might, because they should be good this coming year or next..... also, this is the first time they get to choose where they live half the year....that would matter to me

    If I'm him, I consider taking it, and being a FA again next year. Of course, his agent has TONS of information about what other teams will offer by now, so I won't be surprised no matter what he does..... I'd like the Twins to sign him for 4 years. We'll see.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Good move. Good luck to him!

    I agree on the first line.....which is my point. No way a serious contender can start the year with Dobnak and Gaterol in the rotation. With what? Thorpe and ? in AAA behind them? They need to bring in three veterans.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No idea!
  23. Mike Sixel
    good stuff.
  24. Mike Sixel
    More likely than Dobnak and Gaterol both being starters, leaving nothing ready in AAA..... They can't start the season that way, not if they are serious about contending.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'll find some, if I can. We recycled most of our old recipes when we moved.... Roasted brussel sprouts... My wife heard a news story that they've been growing them sweeter as the years go on. A three later potato dish.... That was great. Hmmmm. I am forgetting a lot... Must be getting old....
