    gausman had been terrible, and was on a rebuilding team that needed to give up. I'm assuming that the Rockies don't want to trade actual good players. I have no idea why Pham was dealt, but he's not a pitcher.
  2. Mike Sixel
    What makes you think it is only based on half a season? Also, we learn more as time goes on, maybe it's that he's been in high A for a year, and hasn't hit well? Maybe it's that KLAW still doesn't think he's a SS, and his fear is more real than it was? It could be lots of things. Also, maybe LOTS of guys stepped up, and just passed him. Really, half a year is a lot of data to see if you hunch/belief/projection from the past is good or not. Or, you can ignore the lists, also an option. I find them mostly entertaining. Also, they are based on conversations with scouts and others around the leagues, so they probably hold some weight as to industry consensus.....

    Kevin 1:16 You are the Astros GM- trade Tucker for pitching? Is a Tucker- Boyd trade good for both teams? Keith Law 1:16 I think it's fair.

    Why are the Rockies dealing a guy with that much control? When was the last time a guy like that was dealt mid season?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Thanks.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but none of that was in his post, or how I responded. He would not trade Lewis for Giolito? He thinks they should only take a trade for an ace,I think that's his point. I was pretty clear, I have no idea what Boyd is going ahead....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I never said it was the only way. Not once. Never even implied it.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Maybe Giolito? Not even sure how to respond to that. Also, I think your expectations of what is available are unrealistic. What ace it's out there, realistically?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of Antifa and their approach at all. Really, you two are the only ones still discussing this......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Wow. That's a huge drop for Lewis. I wonder where Gaterol would be if healthy .....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure there is a better starter that isn't a rental available. Which really speaks to the value of pitching.
  12. Mike Sixel
    The White Sox are coming on fast.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    That's quite the fall for Lewis, considering all the graduations. I'm surprised by that, actually. Of course, he's still super highly rated, so that's good.
  14. Mike Sixel
    BTW, I'm not arguing to acquire them or not, I have no idea if Boyd is actually good or not....

    You might find this interesting https://blogs.fangraphs.com/building-a-baseball-team-through-free-agents-versus-homegrown-talent/
  16. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the correction.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I would be surprised. They spend more than that on one player in the draft and IFA. But sure, that's possible. Not the argument I was responding to, but sure. To go further.... I'd rather have Gore than Lewis and Leach or Rooker or Enlow. I doubt others agree. And I'm not trying to convince anyone.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The big difference is half a year control versus three and a half. No one thinks Boyd has the cache of Verlander. I mean, you'd control Boyd for almost as long as a rookie. If he's even a number three, that's a very valuable player.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Interesting proposal!
  20. Mike Sixel
    That seems light. Verlander, older and with less control, cost more. I think you need another top player. Stewart and Cave are AAAA players, most likely. I'd guess Lanarch or some non Kirilloff OF for Cave, and whatever catcher they like best for Rooker. Probably a pitcher better than Stewart.
  21. Mike Sixel
    No great teams are made up only of draft picks and IFA signings. Are they? I can't think of any.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I love your passion, even if we disagree on the DH.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why should we prevent that? Also, do we think 18 year olds are going to pass up a million or two dollars before they've made money, to maybe make the Yankees in 4 years or more, as opposed to taking more money with the Twins or KC?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Correct, that's a big part of what would need to happen. Though my plan has 4 separate "rounds" with pool limits and limits on who can bid.....first draft is in Ben's hands.....it needs work!
  25. Mike Sixel
    even at the cost to the players that play the game?
