    He "blocked" them so that he had leverage in getting more money if traded to them. That's 100% why he did that.
  2. Mike Sixel
    When was the last time a leak like this turned out to happen? They've shown strong interest a lot, but I can't recall one of these rumors of a big deal actually happening. I am betting any moves are more on the margin, than big.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I think it's pretty clear they thought Mejia and Romero would be good RPs. They then hoped on the back end. It didn't work, not sure why on Romero..... Now they need to pivot.
  4. Mike Sixel
    He's not now, when they need him. When can we expect this?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Seriously? Before the deal, Hicks put up more value than all the other players combined. And then he got hurt. And the deal had nothing to do with the trade, that's a separate transaction
  6. Mike Sixel
    Of course, they have also traded for players for three or four years, and which of those is helping the bullpen right now in a big way? Missing in the, the RP FAs stink analysis..... How are the random players across the league doing that have been called up, as am alternative? Like, all the AA and AAA relievers, and on the teams that acquired FAs, how would the next minor league player do? That's a hard analysis..... But that's the alternative. Pitching is really hard in the RP area. It's possible that there are only so many arms on the planet that can get out ML hitters. As teams ask RP to do twice as much as they used to, maybe there just aren't enough quality pitchers?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Well, they got nothing, but it did open up space for Garver and Astudillo, so, meh, I guess.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If he's not traded, concur. They will need to buy a lot of pitching next year, whether that is keeping Gibson and,or, odorrizi, or going outside, or both. I'd roll the dice on Arreaz, Gordon, and Gonzales bring just fine there next year
  9. Mike Sixel
    If I did I'd just DFA him. There isn't room on the bench for him. If I'm the rather wealthy Giants, I want better players, not more money.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Worth a flyer.....still hoping they trade for someone they believe in, Starter and Reliever (or two).
  11. Mike Sixel
    Nationals next 12 games are against: KC, MIA, and Tigers. I bet they become buyers. But the rest? Sure.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I guess I had not realized it was satire, but I believe you are correct. OTOH, mocking the dems, well, that's what bullies do. Living here, the GOP is not exactly interested in solving any problems, other than lowering taxes and removing any regulation related to clean air, water, land. Other than that? I guess anti abortion.
  13. Mike Sixel
    She's also not my favorite.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    How high do you see the payroll going? I have my doubts both are back. One? Probably.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sorry, they are actually endorsing violence now. So, yes, I am bunching them all together.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Awful idea. How do people expect things to go better next year? Be on pace for 110 wins? People thought Mauer and Morneau would be healthy and great a long time. You can't bank on that in sports. When you have success, you don't punt it away for a future that may never come.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't think you should worry about options for someone Rooker's age. The forty man? That's a possible concern. His numbers are crazy good right now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Which players have come in the last 2 years, as I've been posting? It's been called a good/great system for at least 2 years. Nothing false about wondering where the actual help is.
  19. Mike Sixel
    whoa, big spender. You are using gas money in CA to go out?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Given I've yet to see the threats rebuked, though the news isn't on yet, so maybe they have finally been.... The party should have immediately said that was wrong..... Especially with the proud boys here. I just want some grown ups.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Did people really think Littel was a legit starting candidate this year? And Gonsalves? Both seem like RPs to me. Thorpe? Yes, I thought he was next up. Having 60% of your rotation becoming FAs, no one in AAA ready, and a limited budget doesn't look good for next year......hence my desire to go more all in this year than they planned, now that they have this kind of lead.

    Sam: Have you heard anything on Royce Lewis? Numbers don’t look so great…thanks for the chat! Keith Law: I’ve mentioned his swing & setup changes already … way too many moving parts. Not sure who taught him that but I imagine the Twins aren’t pleased. Dustin: Is there any reason to temper Twins fan’s excitement for Alex Kiriloff? Do you see him getting called up in September? Keith Law: No reason. Don’t think they add him to the 40-man just yet.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Of course, I said I can squint and see that as acceptable. Did the democrats threaten to shoot police who tried to bring them back for a vote? It's almost like that whole part was skipped over......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ben 1:07 Is this the Max Kepler you were expecting? Keith Law 1:07 Yes but I was a year early, again. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2019/06/21/klawchat-6-21-19/
