    If it's the leg kick, why does he still have it? That's the part I don't get.

    Nicely done I do like /s, but a lot of people don't know what it means....
  3. Mike Sixel
    The Astros might be the model franchise right now. If you believe sustained competitiveness is a real thing, when could the Angels ever compete with them? I'm not into giving up because there is a great team in your division.
  4. Mike Sixel
    cool, but cruel to put the link on that draft....
  5. Mike Sixel
    well done!

    Given my current income, I may as well be a bear....

    If I was a grizzly bear, hmmmm. Not sure what is funny after that.....

    This week is prefect....I love this no humidity and no mosquito thing

    Plus you have to be willing to part with Great prospects under this plan. We'll see if that is the plan soon.

    I too am grilling in Portland tonight. Salmon. And potatoes, I think.

    I can, it might be a coincidence that they've largely not drafted pitchers early. But, it's a team game. You need pitching. Just as you can't ignore OL every year in teh NFL draft, if the defensive player is ranked 4-10 spots higher than the OL on your board, you, IMO, have to acquire high end pitching in baseball. Will you acknowledge that they are now in teh competitive phase of the rebuild, so we should not expect much trading of MLB players for pitching the next 3-5 years (and if we do have those, that the rebuild hasn't worked out all that well)? I literally have acknowledged teh other things repeatedly, not sure what you want....

    sucks. He was really playing well, and it sucks. They could use Cave.......but prospect for prospect trades almost never happen.

    your phone started drinking early, I see....

    Jeffrey A. 3:19 Predictions on where Kimbrel and Keuchel going to sign? Steve Adams 3:19 Total speculation, obviously, but Keuchel to Yankees and Kimbrel to the Twins (With the Braves then trading for help, before Atlanta fans pummel me, haha) froyo in Minnesota 3:48 Twins have the division locked up. Signing Keuchel seems pointless. Wouldn't trading for a proven, 2019, RP be safer than hoping Kimbrel can get it together before the playoffs? Steve Adams 3:48 I don't think they'll make the best offer for Keuchel. I can see them going multiple years on Kimbrel thoguh. Bob Loblaw 3:53 Royce Lewis and Lewis Thorpe for Edwin Diaz. Who says no? Steve Adams 3:54 The Twins aren't giving up Royce Lewis there. And the Mets aren't going to trade Diaz after like 3 months when his stock is down anyway. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-6-4-19-5424.html

    agreed, see my comment later in the thread. Should have read further first!

    I don't either, but they basically punted on being serious contenders this off season by giving up on having any semblance of an OF. So, imo, they should blow it up at this point. If they are that constrained for money (to keep their profit where they want), they can't afford Lindor and they can't afford to keep their pitching. Imagine the haul for their pitching and Lindor.....

    Of course, the argument being made for his less than stellar hitting is that he has changed his swing due to the injury. If that's not the cause, then that's even more worrisome, I'd think (unless it is bad speed only).
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not to me, because as you point out, past round 1 or 2, there just isn't much likelihood they work out. Like OL past round 3 for the Vikings, so yes, that's the same argument (just the number of rounds is less in MLB). Note, I didn't say anything about not drafting pitchers, I said it about not drafting them early.

    All fair, which is why I asked where we thought they were going to get pitching......with a question.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The Angels have lost, what, three starting pitchers and a great hitter to injury? I'm guessing if those were healthy, things would be different. That said, I agree on Sherzrer, if they can get two or three top fifty players and two would cards, sure. Doubt anyone does that though.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Berrios and Gibson were drafted by the previous regime. Not sure what those drafts tell us. My contention is not never draft hitters early, it's that if you never draft pitching early, it will be harder to have great pitching. Nothing more or less than that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Certainly possible.
  24. Mike Sixel
    As you pointed out, after round 1-2, maybe three, the odds are LONG on a guy making it. As I said in the Vikings threads, I'm not interested in more late round guys that won't make it for the OL, and like with the Vikings, I'm doubtful that only taking pitchers late will lead to a lot of good minor league pitching. I'm also hoping they aren't in position to trade MLB players for minor league guys the next 5 years. So, I'm hoping the plan is to start trading from the surplus of hitting prospects for good MLB starters, and then retaining said starters with big contracts.

    John 3:45 Is Keoni Cavaco an under slot pick? Seems like he got picked higher than he was on your and your competitors boards. Keith Law 3:45 Don't think so - he had other suitors in the teens.
