    No, it doesn't mean "must".....it means likely, probably. If you are decent at drafting, and add players in FA, you are probably better than if you don't add players (or let good players walk). I think you are confusing "odds" and probability with certainty.

    I'm neither for nor against this signing. I'm not sure he's all that good, but I am sure he's not bad (probably......). That's a step up. They also spent money to get better now, I like that part. I am a Meyer believer, so I hope they don't just keep waiting for some kind of "perfection" in AAA with him. Frankly, if they aren't bringing up Meyer right away, I'd trade him. May, Milone, Berrios in a few months.....plus others? If you aren't going to use Meyer this year, I'd rather they deal him than wait another year. And yes, I know pitchers get hurt....but they have a few holes to fill yet.

    Not a fan of what the Marlins are doing. I have no issue trading prospects, but not like this, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Hope they put him in the 'pen, and let him throw hard.......

    I don't read anyone saying that spending guarantees anything.....I see people suggesting that having a payroll under the median, year after year, while revenues are skyrocketing, right after getting a new stadium (that was sold as a way to stay competitive), all while NOT being competitive, well, that raises a question.....would they be more likely, or less likely to be competitive, if they had a median payroll? How "crippled" would they be right now had they spent on 3-5 year deals 3-5 years ago, for example?

    Since TR has never been turned down for money......I think this is about Ryan, not the owners. That's what they all say, every time money comes up.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They'll pick someone.....2 years from now, no one will care. That's what I expect.

    We won't really know until we see if Molitor calls for bunts before the 7th inning, or the team doesn't shift at all, or if they do or don't do other things. As for players, they remind me of some of the Ops people I work with, they just want to keep doing things the way they've always done them, even in the face of evidence they shouldn't/can't. It's up to Molitor to put them in position to change that, imo.

    Like I said, every signing so far has been met here with, "that's too much money" or "that's too many years" or "I wouldn't sign that guy he's not good"......well, apparently, a hug number of MLB teams disagree.

    It is expensive to sign FAs.........if you are always saying "it is too expensive", you better have a farm system that produces, all the time, or you end up with Jason Tyner as your DH......and 4 or more years of 90+ loss seasons.

    I find it odd that the Sox and Tigers need to be lucky, with major league talent, but the Twins don't have to be more lucky to have minor leaguers be their future
  12. Mike Sixel
    The problem with that depth is that it usually means you keep the better, younger, guy in AAA. I want the best players here, not waiting in AAA in case (when) someone gets hurt or struggles.
  13. Mike Sixel
    he's 25 already.....time to move him up if he's close to ready.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Number 7 might be my all time favorite post on this site.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Burdi.....your 8th inning man by the AS break.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Get a difference maker. Or, use the young guys. If they sign 2 mediocre guys, I'll be very confused. If they sign one, I'll just be disappointed.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Lots of people don't think it is possible for Hunter to be "that bad"......anyone want to look at Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage this year, and explain how he "forgot how to shoot"?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Great question......if Hunter's range is terrible, will anyone ask TR this question? Like, they totally asked about Nolasco and Pelfrey?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Really, you think that is the actual definition of how the defensive stats are calculated, as opposed to something headed that way?
  20. Mike Sixel
    No need to wait that long, imo. Move the arms up before they fall off. See what you have in another lost year.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Yup, it's 1999 still.....so eye tests over 162 games (which is what defensive metrics are) are useless, but eye tests over 30 are good. Got it. And, if the GM of a MLB really doesn't know how a metric is calculated right now? That's just not good.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I do find it fascinating that no contender would offer him the same, or better, deal. Or maybe they did, and he really wanted to come home. I'd have rather traded Milone for Saunders, and moved Saunders to LF.
  23. Mike Sixel
    You just recreated WAR, btw........
  24. Mike Sixel
    I hope you are right. I hope they add a CF somehow.
  25. Mike Sixel
    you missed this part: "he felt the team was in decent shape around the diamond."
