    Zips projects the Padres as teh 2nd best team in teh NL West, if they sign Kuechel....so how far behind the Twins are they? One pitcher? With the best farm system in the game.......
  2. Mike Sixel
    I feel really bad for the billionaires who inherited this awful situation of risk with no reward.....just awful.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Most pitchers in all of baseball don't go six innings in a start.... The average last year was 5.2..... It's on the manager and FO to adjust given that reality.
  4. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to the billionaire owners, many of whom inherited their fortunes, and aren't spending to the limit? They clearly care more about money than winning.....

    I find I don't watch a ton of Netflix, and have considered cancelling. Or maybe I should go make some money.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    They weren't eligible for thru guys who missed, but might make the top 100 next year for the first time......
  7. Mike Sixel
    The alternative being to use the next guy in the minors? Who's probably going to provide negative value?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Is it? I wonder what the average pitcher can do in one inning? Say, 80 percent of the time? Especially if they only pitch one or two innings every other day?

    Let's play pretend, and assume teh Pads are now desperate to unload salary.... How much of one of their bad deals would you eat, if you could have one or two of their prospects? They have more 50+FV prospects than any other team. They have two LHP around 90th best, then add in one more top 130 guy..... How much of Wil Meyer's deal would you take on? 2019: $3M, 2020: $20M, 2021: $20M, 2022: $20M Or, Hosmer's front loaded deal: 2019: $20M, 2020: $20M, 2021: $20M, 2022: $20M, 2023: $13M, 2024: $13M, 2025: $13M

    I've already lost interest in this discussion. For some fans, there somehow isn't money in the budget for even one great player, in an industry with no risk to ownership, and massive increases in revenue. If your rebuttal is "you can't build in FA" ,I'm not saying that. I'm saying go get one great player, who happens to be 26, not 30.......it almost never happens that players this young, this great, become FAs....
  11. Mike Sixel
    So, two players to produce what one player does? How is that better? Or are you arguing that somehow Rosario is going to put up 5-7 WAR? Buxton? Maybe...but wouldn't you rather have him and Machado, and still have a median salary structure? And, what good is financial flexibility if you (the team) never spends it, so they can have it?
  12. Mike Sixel
    They need a number 2 or 3 next year no matter what. I'm guessing you can find one for the price of Odo, Pineda plus what's his name that they just signed, and not see any increase in budget. Berrios, new guy, one of the young guys, Gibson, random young guy. No increase in salaries from pitching....heck, if you let Gibson go too, you can probably sign 2 decent pitchers for what they are paying those 4.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Can you find a consistently great team with no free agents? More than one of those? Why do people obsess only on the end of the deal, never talking about the first part where some of them are awesome, and acknowledging that's part of the deal? No team is built solely from within.
  14. Mike Sixel
    He's 77 among other things.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to diversify, when you have a 25 man roster. Not many championship teams have no superstars.....and only have a bunch of 2 WAR players. 1 player giving you 6 is a lot better than needing 2-4 players to do that.

    As bad as service can be at times, I moved twice in Portland, entered something on a website, and my internet/cable were ready immediately in my new place both times. Simple, and effective.....Xfinity.

    2:05 WabashCannonball: Ok now where does Keuchel go? 2:05 Meg Rowley: I don’t think he *will* go there, but I would like very much to see Minnesota do more https://blogs.fangraphs.com/meg-rowley-fangraphs-chat-2-19-19/

    Pujols was older, and was a DH. It's like specifics don't matter at all....
  19. Mike Sixel
    They drew the 18th most fans last year, on a bad team.... I'm not sure fans don't care. That's nearly median.... They have the number one farm system, so maybe things are better than they have been, I'm told that's how I should judge this FO..... For the cost of Mauer and Kepler, they get one player that should produce double the WAR of any Twin, unless Buxton or Sano finally achieve stardom. All the judging of this seems absurd to me. There is plenty of money, it's a great city, and they have a bright future...... That is now brighter.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ten years, 300 million. Just as predicted.... For the cost of Mauer and Kepler, you use one roster spot on a guy that delivers 5 to 7 WAR....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Prime, plus Netflix, plus the least cable I can get...only for the internet we use an antenna for over air tv. I somehow get HBO free still..... My son logs into his Hulu here too.
  22. Mike Sixel
    We have a full thread for minor league players. And it's been mentioned over and over.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'll wager it is Cron.
