    It's not the some"one" else....but there are 5-7 guys they don't have much MLB information on, nor have they settled their initial nerves, etc. And, they have 1-2 guys under contract next year...... I don't get the Perez signing on so many levels.

    I'd consider moving him to CF, and trading Buxton, as I think the league likes Buxton more......and I want more back. But, with Lanarch and Kiriloff in the minors, and Cave and Wade as possible backups, I see one of the existing three being traded, maybe as early as this deadline.....

    How did not signing FA RPs work out, using guys that produced negative WAR instead? I mean, if the argument that signing them doesn't work, how has not signing them worked out? Maybe the answer is to just be smarter and better (really, the only way a mid market team can win, since they don't have unlimited resources). As for Darvish, supposedly they bid the second most, so the FO must have wanted him. Since you like to exaggerate others' posts to make a point....are you suggesting never to sign a FA? Even though we see from successful teams that they have WAR from FAs of some kind (or trades)? No team is built solely from within, at least not winning teams.

    Hard to say for sure, other than every site has them as a top 4-10 system........ Also, since they pretty much never make trades (I know, new FO.....)....it seems more likely they just don't like to make trades to acquire MLB talent all that often. It seems fairly statistically impossible that they could almost never have the opportunity....

    Yikes!

    David: Are you more confident now that Royce Lewis sticks at shortstop? 12:30 Kiley McDaniel: Yes, somewhere around midseason it seemed like pro scouts had some conviction he would stick, then I got to see him in the FSL and it was better than amateur days https://blogs.fangraphs.com/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-2-6-19/

    The pace of play is the main issue. Time between action. Fix that, and the length will also drop..... What if a RP just didn't have it? Leanne him in for another batter or two? That just makes no sense to me at all. It's like making zone defense illegal. Or the shift illegal. In game action isn't the issue here....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd be pretty happy if he's a number four starter. Or a great RP.
  9. Mike Sixel
    This. For sure.

    Lots of great comments here, and I like that no one is being less than gracious to those they disagree with. The adjusting the gloves thing has to stop.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Universal DH yes Three batter minimum? Ridiculous Pitch clock? No brainer
  12. Mike Sixel
    I must have read your post wrong, it seemed like you don't care much about that spot one way or the other. It's a precious commodity. there are only 25
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why does he have to hit that well to play? How about tenth best catcher, or even twentieth?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Of course they need more stars, but that's no reason to punt the 25th spot.
  15. Mike Sixel
    He hit better than the average catcher two years ago. What do people want him to do?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't think we know either way yet. Their FA signings have largely not worked yet, but their drafts look great. Solid mixed grade from me.
  17. Mike Sixel
    How does that happen with Perez added? Without a lot of injuries, or trades, or just terrible pitching? Because you are talking about multiple players not in the rotation to start the year getting ten plus starts....
  18. Mike Sixel
    JJ didn't lose his luster, he fell off a cliff. He's a good lesson to anyone thinking about not taking the money when it is there....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Wait? They can only sign one year deals? And, I'm pretty sure this post isn't only about this year, or only about pitchers.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't. Any more than every free agent was.
  21. Mike Sixel
    ah right, I forgot he wasn't at BA. Thanks!

    How many minor league prospects aren't question marks? Every player acquired in a trade was "given up on" by their former team (in return for players, or cash, or just roster space). Who is more likely to be good, a player that has already shown to be good in the majors, or a prospect who has never played in the majors? And who thinks there are no question marks, or that it is a free gift? Anyone?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd 100% rather the 25 man was better, than worry about AAA depth. If he's better than Garver or Castro or the last bench name, I'd 100% rather he was in MN. I must not have been clear when I said roster.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Lanarch is 92 on Fangraphs board, FWIW.
  25. Mike Sixel
    None are Kiriloff, Lewis, Larnarch gop 10-50 types, not even close. It is rare to get great prospects in trades right now. There just aren't that many trades occurring, as teams horde prospects (this isn't just a random opinion, there have been articles written about it).
