    Of course, this team would be better with Verlander on it. Depending on what they gave up. I was about acquiring guys for multiple years, so they'd still be in the team when it was good. If anyone thought Castro and Garver would be the best hitting tandem in the game, I'd be shocked. In any event, they are there now, and lose sixty percent of their rotation in the off season. They better try to make themselves better now.

    Thanks!

    It's certainly your choice not to care, but I won't stop bringing it up when we discuss the state of the player contract and what not.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I see a real difference between MN and CLE ownership in terms of payroll over the years. What difference do you see?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Negative WAR, but sure, WAR.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Most of them talk to scouts and others to do the work, but I assume you mean not to look at other rankings? KLAW claims not to, I believe. Not sure about the rest....
  8. Mike Sixel
    He's not top ten by KLAW or Baseball Prospectus any more.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    So, I have a blog written, but I don't know how to make the table function work. I pasted from word, and it looked great, until I hit preview.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Right, and Lewis fell on pipeline and KLAW. I don't pay for BA or the Athletic anymore. He's about neutral on Fangraphs. I'm guessing FGs no longer thinks 2020 is his actual ETA..... But to your point, if you want to see where the industry feels players are, looking at as many of those five as possible gives you more data.
  11. Mike Sixel
    which if true is sadly embarrassing.
  12. Mike Sixel
    IMO, Sanders is done. He can't beat Biden for the same reason he couldn't beat Hillary, and Harris and Warren are passing him by for being not Biden/center only.
  13. Mike Sixel
    to what end? He offers opinion on thousands of players over time. He can't be wrong? I'm not sure what purpose this question would serve. I'm curious, why would you ask this?
  14. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to what rankings?

    Chris 2:30 The stroman to braves Twitter storm sure is fun!! What would it take for it to actually happen? Craig Edwards 2:33 As for Stroman's trade value generally, he's the best, most realistic option out there for every team. He isn't Syndergaard, but he's really good and arb eligible next season at a low rate which opens the number of suitors. He will need to make a few more starts because he hasn't started this month. I would imagine it would take one top-50ish prospect plus somebody else near the back of the top-100 to get a deal done assuming Stroman shows he's healthy. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/craig-edwards-fangraphs-chat-7-11-2019/

    I enjoyed this article! thanks,

    As I've told MLR in private conversations, being wrong when you post here does not mean you are wrong next time. Like he said, it's kind of hard to predict a man that old will still be good. But, as you and I agree, I'd take that chance a lot more than the Twins seem willing to do. Prospects are nice, flags are nicer.
  18. Mike Sixel
    As I said, he'll have more data to either confirm or refute his beliefs. He also talks to scouts and others around the game to do these. I'm guessing we both know his answer. Go ask him if you want.
  19. Mike Sixel
    hendu 2:18 What type of player does Zach Wheeler likely bring back? Craig Edwards 2:20 A back-end top-100 guy or maybe a guy just outside of that plus another, lower prospect. Something like the Happ deal or a bit less than Darvish.
  20. Mike Sixel
    As for why there haven't been any trades much.....I have actually done the research on this one. Since 2013, almost no big name players are traded in June....if they are, it is about salary dumps for the most part. In the first two weeks of July, there have been three large trades (though I need to double check that......) in the last few years. So, it is around 50-60% of the time that a big time player is traded in the first two weeks of July.
  21. Mike Sixel
    well then I'm an idiot! thanks for the correction. sigh.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That's not how predictions about the future work. They aren't absolute, they come with all kinds of projections. As we gather more data, some of those are confirmed, or refuted. In three months, we'll only have three months more data than we do now, why would that be enough to change your mind from where it is now?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Did you see the story about the guy hiding from the cops, that was found by his loud farts? priceless....

    I already posted this in the minor league area, but many of you don't go there..... mike sixel 1:47 Royce Lewis.....is his fall mostly that your fears of him at SS are confirmed? A year of not hitting in A+? Clearly his change to his hitting is not going well. Did he do that on his own? Thanks, Keith Law 1:48 Much more about not hitting/visible changes to his mechanics. I have never bought into the claims that he'll stay at short: He's not good there, and he could be very good in CF, maybe a 70 or better defender there. Most organizations would probably have moved him but the Twins have an 80 defender in center in the majors, so that may be one reason why they haven't. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2019/07/11/klawchat-7-11-19/
