    Remember, these write-ups are done after talking to teams, and others in the industry...... And Kiley didn't write them all... I'm shocked at the Gibson ranking, given his health.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs predicts Odo for three years, thirteen to fifteen million per....I predict a one year QO deal
  3. Mike Sixel
    Machado is signed for a lot of years. The Padres went young last year. I really don't get this post
  4. Mike Sixel
    Smoked spare and baby back ribs today. Yummy.
  5. Mike Sixel
    So, go into the season coming off 100 wins with two massive question marks to start the year? I hope not.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but that's not what this thread is about. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he's ever a really, really, good starter. And very disappointed if he's not a good reliever at least
  7. Mike Sixel
    Yup. More mediocrity is in their future, I believe.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I've been saying that for years, but he's not going to succeed without a third pitch.

    I'm ready to fire Zimmer, probably the GM. This team does not play UP in big games, and it seems the whole is less than the sum of the parts.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Results.... Nice start to the half.
  11. Mike Sixel
    KC has a terrible defense, how is the offense fine today?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Can't watch, but clearly the offense isn't championship quality. My son thinks there is something culturally wrong that they never seem to start well in big games. I'm not convinced the head coach is a head coach.... And clearly the LG it's awful
  13. Mike Sixel
    Bummer. It seemed like a good trade, but injuries, sigh.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm sorry, but I guess when I read "might be one hit wonder".....that implies to me that you don't think he's going to play well next year. So, I'll ask, which is it? do you think he's going to be above average at catcher, or not? One of the best things I learned in communications is that message sent, is not necessarily message received. Clearly, I received your message as doubting Garver. Nothing more or less, no "gotcha" or anything on my part.

    Chapman just agreed to effectively three years, 48 million. I'm guessing Odo is worth more than that.... Waiting until the perfect moment to acquire players means they may not be available at that time.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's not what your post said, it clearly implied you didn't think it likely he would still be valuable. He'll be valuable, but maybe not that valuable. OTOH, maybe they'll let him hit when he's not catching, and he'll be more valuable even if his rate stats drop..... Saying he won't be one of the three best catchers in baseball is very different than saying he won't have much value. I'm guessing he's above average, at least, again.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't see a third pitch, as pointed out above. I don't see this happening.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He was minor league player of the year, and hit at every level. Why don't people believe he can hit?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Strasburg to opt out, apparently.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    They pay taxes based on where games are played, so we are looking at around 1.5MM, give or take, in tax differences between MN and TX, for a 30MM contract. That's not money to be ignored, but it's probably not the deciding factor. Given the number of players in MLB and the NBA that sign in NY and CA, I'm guessing taxes are not the main factor. *those are SUPER ROUGH estimates......but I took the highest MN rate, divided by 2, and multiplied by 30MM.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    This is a great resource...... https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker
  22. Mike Sixel
    Of course, none of that has a whit to do with my post.......You said that signing players has risk and no one ever mentions that. Not signing players also has risk, and that is rarely mentioned. Now is the time, we'll see what happens.
  23. Mike Sixel
    To be more "sustainably successful" I assume.
  24. Mike Sixel
    His offense has literally gotten worse each of the last two years.....He was just above MLB average this year, an average that includes pitchers and catchers...... That's just on offense. BTW, I don't see anyone saying he's bad.....just that he's not all that great. You keep him unless keeping him impedes your ability to fix pitching....but once they have a rookie OFer ready, there isn't much reason to keep Eddie Rosario at the price he'll be getting paid the next two years.
  25. Mike Sixel
    How well is not making a big move working out? that also carries risk..... I'd 100% rather see the Twins make moves like Cole, Verlander, Greinke, than Perez. Odo was a good trade, but good luck repeating that. Are we supposed to acknowledge that in every post we make?
