    Not sure, but I'm sure there are unintended consequences of front loading
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Which I totally get. Just not what I'd do if I was a billionaire. But I get it. What I want is not what I expect, which some confuse here.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Too bad they didn't front load it, to keep that flexibility. But that I would expect them to, but if your budget is really yearly, that would make some sense if you were worried about future spending.
  4. Mike Sixel
    They are no longer the only team without a commitment past this year!

    I guess I'd ask what the alternative is. For example, take out santana, and replace him with the next guy in the minors. Or take out a RP and give those innings to the guys that produced negative value. People always point out the end of contracts being bad, ignoring the beginning being good. People point out that players get hurt. But they rarely point out what happens if the team had to use the next minor league player they are willing to use. So, what's your proof that signing one great free agent is bad? Not every. Not a lot. One. Because if they don't add good players, they have to play not good players instead.

    No idea why so many think this is about Gordon. It's about signing a guy they like to keep him around. Probably at a reasonable number. If they like him, this is exactly what they should do, no matter who is in the minors.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Great!

    I'm not sure why this seems adversarial. should they avoid free agents because sometimes they get hurt? Because that's how I read your post. It is possible I read it wrong, which is why I'm asking.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I hope they are aggressive. I believe we are looking at 2021......I hope to be wrong on the timing.

    Fickle fans. He was in charge of WS winners and participants. Way more success than anyone here in decades. We'd be lucky to have his success

    If they could earn what they were worth in a free market from day one, I'd agree. But, relative to their production, they are often well underpaid for at least six years. Now teams are realizing many free agents aren't that much better than rookies, so they aren't getting paid at the end of the career to make up for the beginning. It's a broken system.
  12. Mike Sixel
    That's not an option right now. In the future it might be.

    Brusdar 1:24 What are my chances at being a MLB starter? Scouts think there is too much effort in my delivery, but man I throw a lot of strikes. Kiley McDaniel 1:24 Not that much effort, just not fine in terms of command and we think he should lengthen the stride some, but the super easy arm speed is beyond elite

    Slothrop 1:34 What do you guys know about Adam Brett Walker Kiley McDaniel 1:35 80 raw, big swing and miss issues, fine in left field Eric A Longenhagen 1:35 Huge power, has been working out at Driveline, I had a 30 on the arm when he was with MIN

    Great.... But if you aren't a free agent until thirty, what reality allows most players to get paid?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So what's your point? Don't sign free agents because they might get hurt, or not be good? I'm but sure where this is going.
  19. Mike Sixel
    If it's so easy to teach, why doesn't everyone have one? That said, if you aren't excited about this prospect, I don't know if you will ever will be.
  20. Mike Sixel
    No one cares? You know that about me? Interesting.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I can't fix that. Can you? Because you can decide who you vote for. I get the point, but what are you going to do about it? I'm going to use this information to inform my decision. Just as I will about any story on any candidate. So, it's the point that actually matters in terms of what I can do.
  22. Mike Sixel
    They weren't 26.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    It could happen to even super fit 24 year olds..... If you are going to fear any long term deals, good luck having sustained success. And you left off the part where he was still better than all but 25 players, many of which are older, or under contract.

    I would never work for her, given what I've read and heard. Men behaving badly does not excuse her behavior.
