    I wasn't arguing that either way........was merely pointing out why some people wanted Plouffe moved. I like Plouffe, but I understand both sides of the argument.
  2. Mike Sixel
    It isn't about getting anything for Plouffe, though. It is 100% about putting the best team on the field. Some people don't think this is the ideal alignment.....

    Over, but man, vegas is good at setting these numbers. If one of their elite pitchers goes down, or Lindor, they are screwed, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    What I've read on line is that teams feel like they have "perfect" information about their prospects, and less perfect information about other teams' prospects, and so risk aversion kicks in that if the other team is dealing this guy, they must know something. Or something like that. I do agree that it seems odd. But let's be honest, people hate change. They invested a lot of time and money in this guy, they know his strengths and weaknesses, what oh what is the other guy really like?

    No idea? Other than, as usual, I am more optimistic than Seth I do agree his counting stats could be down, as they try to get Arcia going also. But, he's 30......not playing him a lot is just a waste (if he's good, and he will be good). I say 25+ home runs, and an OPS closer to 800, so, I guess I am with Shane.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Bonds is the best hitter ever maybe......Sano is not Bonds.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmm..... I have always liked Rosario as a prospect, but I have this irrational (imo) fear that this year is not going to go well for him. Well, I guess there are signs.....but for some reason I'm nervous about him.
  8. Mike Sixel
    guys, have all the optimism you want.....but almost no one hits 40 HRs anymore, I don't want you all to be disappointed in life if that doesn't happen.
  9. Mike Sixel
    both....they didn't have him run much, he doesn't get on base much, and his success rate was low (SSSS* it's true). super small sample size
  10. Mike Sixel
    Over, one last gasp.
  11. Mike Sixel
    You were a bit wishy washy there......how do you really feel? btw, I agree with you about May and Berrios (and maybe Duffey), but we all knew this would happen. Hoping to be proven wrong.
  12. Mike Sixel
    He's awesome, but I think he's more like top 12 hitter, than top 3 hitter this year. I think most of the projections here are toward the high end of what could be expected. 28 home runs, .275 batting average, 30 doubles, 2 stolen bases (you know he'll get some), lots of "that ball gets by Sano, and is going to the wall" type descriptions that we will mostly try to ignore.
  13. Mike Sixel
    80.5 is right around .500......
  14. Mike Sixel
    I share the concern above, that some of the players might be "meh", but not awful, and will stay on the 25 man, blocking guys with much higher upside (that might not produce much better this year, but could).
  15. Mike Sixel
    I like this roster a lot more than last year's opening day roster. The team is definitely trending in the correct direction.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Interesting, thanks.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm talking about last year, in the majors.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Or maybe Duffey should go back to the bullpen, where two pitches works....though his 2 and 4 seamers are really two different pitches, imo......I don't know, but I hope they make the decision some time this year, because he's not young.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tough to predict anyone but Trout winning it, but I think the Astros are in the AL now, right? They have a darn good SS that I'd say has at least as good a shot as Sano does. And Machado. I'd put Sano's odds at about 3-5% this year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Under, and clever to hide it in the minor league section of the site........
  21. Mike Sixel
    31 steals? His success rate has been pretty bad.....you all think he'll improve that? You think he'll be on base enough to even get that many opportunities? I am going with the under on Seth's projections, I am Missouri on this player right now.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I love how Bruno and Allen worked on this together, and how Bruno gives him some of the credit (along with Kepler, of course) for the development. Great organizational leadership there.
  23. Mike Sixel
    then make Plouffe the DH, and put Sano at 3B....and don't bid a on guy you didn't expect to land, that can only play DH or 1B? They made these decisions themselves. They get to choose who plays where, and at what level of the minors/majors. No one else makes those decisions, no one.* *other than injuries, of course, forcing decisions to be made, but they still get to decide what to do after one.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I am baffled that Sano got the Ponder treatment this year. He should have been in RF all day, every day.
  25. Mike Sixel
    NO ONE IS ASSUMING THAT. We've been over this. NO ONE IS ASSUMING HE IS A 2. The straw man is tiresome. It really is. Some of us think he has that upside, and we'd like to bet on the upside for a change. You agree with the Twins, bet on the low side play. That's fine, that's their right. Some of us just don't agree.
