    Seven million a year vs ten million a year. Big difference. And, if your budget is 200 million, ten is nothing. It's like people ignore how great the early years are, when saying how awful the end is certain to be. They get to spend what he's probably worth, and spread the money out over more years, giving them that all important financial flexibility.

    How is this a risk? It's barely more than Kepler is getting.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Cheap for his production. Even at the end, it will just be a drop in the bucket
  4. Mike Sixel
    Probably a third to half, yes.

    The attacks on Klobuchar make me believe she's a real threat to someone. Just not sure if it is the left, or other center candidates, or the GOP she's threatening.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Best one so far!
  7. Mike Sixel
    Of course trading for a controlled pitcher means three or more years. Kirilloff will be here by then.... Not sure how people expect to get better if they won't trade good players. I'd rather have Wade or Cave or Rooker or Kirilloff and another number three starter, than Rosario and what's his name they just signed.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If Rosario is their best player this year, not good. I doubt he returns a legit MLB starter all that better than what they have. Now, in a package? Sure. But I wonder who is available?

    I don't get the anger at all. But then I don't get most anger

    Twins got a steal with Marwin at 2/21MM right? Keith Law 5:23 Yes.....etc.....

    An editor can only do so much. I hardly recognize the site now. Still good, just different. Now with Jeff leaving, all the voices I really like are gone. Plus, he lives in Portland, and has given me lots of advice.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Is this where I mention Jeff Sullivan is leaving Fangraphs? To join the Rays.. Almost all of the writers have gone to a team now. It's still a great site, but the voice is totally different....

    Each individual win is way more valuable to an 82-84 win team than to a 95 win team. Way more.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think this is a decent, but not great, addition. Lots of short term, win now, moves on offense, and very little pitching, which seems odd to me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I too think they think Sano and Buxton will bounce back. I'm sure that is part of their internal projections. Every company on the planet does projections, it's called planning. The disdain on this site for planning is astounding. Not that you have that, but others do.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Klobuchar pretty much saying what I've said about healthcare. We aren't going from here to there in one step. And there are steps we can take to really help, that might actually pass....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Funny for sure, even if it misses the point completely.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It was for the low 80s, IIRC. Projections are most likely outcomes, not the only outcomes that a model spits out (or that might happen). But teams and companies should be built on what you think will happen, not hope...

    I couldn't disagree more strongly. All that money did was make the owners more money. I'd rather have the draft pick, 100x out of 100x.
  20. Mike Sixel
    ouch.
  21. Mike Sixel
    mike sixel 2:09 No longer prospects, but who do you like more for the next 4-6 years, Buxton or Sano? Thanks..... Eric A Longenhagen 2:09 Buxton's floor is Billy Hamilton so I'll say him. I'm disappointed Sano let his body get to where it has. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/eric-longenhagen-chat-2-21-19/
  22. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff. It makes the floor high, but the ceiling low.......and hard to upgrade some spots easily.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The dude was better than median his first year here. If he's healthy, he'll be valuable to either MN or someone else.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I would like him as the utility player for sure. Just because they also need RP and SP help does not mean they can't upgrade other positions too...... Every win for a team on the edge of the playoffs is worth so much more than every win for a 95 win team, or a 70 win team that this team should be looking for upgrades everywhere it can afford them.
  25. Mike Sixel
    At least we don't have a rule 5 guy they have no intention of using on the roster this year. I'll not lightly forget how badly teh roster was managed last year (especially since everyone knew Hughes was done.....two pitchers they'd never use on the roster).
