    Only 250K guaranteed, I thought. So, he is either better than the rookie they bring in, or he's cut and there is no real cost. Another weak link on a supposedly great team, though.

    What do you think Betts is going to be paid, when he re-ups? What do you think any of those guys would be paid if they were free to sign with any team? The Pujols deal was stupid, and most people said it at the time. He was older, and played 1B/DH. Let's say they traded Trout before this, what do you realistically think they'd get? Remember, using three or four players to get 7-8 WAR (if they even make the majors) is a lot less valuable than using 1. Because those other 2-3 players not the 1 guy will also be producing positive WAR. Which 2-3 free agents would you use the Trout money for, that would be better than Trout by 3 or more WAR for sure (since you are using more roster spots to get the same WAR, they need to be much more valuable)?

    Normally I'd bury this link in the posts from around the internet, but I'll just create a new thread for this one, about Kepler and so much more. https://tht.fangraphs.com/making-max-kepler-baseball-in-germany/

    Not that you asked, but I was born in Lincoln, my parents are from Omaha and Fairbury.

    I too would love to see him signed here. I'd go 4 years. I have no idea what amount is "fair" these days, though. I doubt he'd be "worth" his deal in year four, but then, he'd be more than worth it the first two years, something some seem to forget when analyzing efficiency.

    You think the lesson is that they shouldn't keep maybe the best player ever on their roster, not that they should draft better, or not sign mediocre players to put around him? I don't think we agree that is the right lesson to learn here.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They had numerous holes last year, and filled them with mediocre players. They would have been better filling less holes from the outside, with better players, and filling other holes with cheap internal options. They were universally lauded on this site for their bargains, not the great players they signed. Yes, they pushed the budget up, but that doesn't mean they did it well. Learning that spending isn't the answer is the wrong lesson.....the lesson is to pay for good players, not mediocre players.

    backup QB is going to be important, given the OL

    What does this have to do with being employed by legal monopolies that are swimming in billions of revenue?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Given the revenue in MLB, he deserves it. I hope he's generous with his donations.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Good luck. I started a site in the fall, then got distracted remodeling..... It's tough.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Compton to the Jets. Isadora is the only OG on the roster right now. Is any other team this barren?
  13. Mike Sixel
    none of those are businesses, with legal monopolies, swimming in billions of dollars of revenues and profits. And, just because we underpay teachers and police doesn't mean we should also under pay others.
  14. Mike Sixel
    No good team is built only from within. So, I hope not. You use all three channels. And, why not sign a FA you believe in, and if you end up with excess players somehow, trade some off for better players?
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's about pay. Not meals as pay. That should be obvious.
  16. Mike Sixel
    No. It isn't. Most great teams have free agents on them. It's one of three ways to acquire talent.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Good luck with that strategy.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Because they aren't human beings to them, just assets. And when you are a billionaire, it's important to make an extra five million a year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Every year the IOL are too expensive, or not BPA..... I'm guessing it's the Vikings and their one playoff win that are wrong......
  20. Mike Sixel
    We are how many off seasons in, with no even medium term pitcher signed? Heck, only one position player for more than two years. There is no evidence they are willing to sign anything other than short term bargains so far. At least in free agency.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Until they sign a pitcher to a longer deal, that isn't a bargain, I'm not sure why we should believe they will.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I see no reason anyone should assimilate to be here. Maybe that fundamental disagreement is insurmountable.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Those three having jobs literally proves how little accountability there is the world.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Is that an actual question? Nearly every mass murder is by a white male.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Correct.
