    They went all in this year, and didn't even make the playoffs. What had Zimmer done? They had the luckiest play ever for their one real playoff win. This team wasn't up for starting well in one difficult game this year. If Cincinnati will trade their first pick, I do it instantly. I might fire him.

    I would not be disappointed in a house cleaning ... But I'd be surprised. We are going to hear that the OL coach died, and other excuses. They'll win ten next year, and not make the championship game.

    If he's on the roster next year, the GM utterly failed scouting 101.

    I hope they get booed off the field

    I'd fire Spielman at this point. He has been unable to fix the OL, and spent to the cap to year. I'd probably fire Zimmer also. This team is missing something fundamental, that's clear.

    In there too.... It seemed to me the last front office slow played them from A ball to AA, and then rushed them. Where I would rush them earlier, and really test them in AAA, where legit MLB and AAAA players are. But we'll see what the new guys do soon.

    I literally said I agreed with his choice. How is that a dis? And why assume a negative? Why assume it was a dis? Baffled by this whole conversation.

    Interesting, as I read just a few weeks ago it was younger.
  9. Mike Sixel
    The league is getting younger, that's just a fact. And no one is asking for Rooker to be an all star.... Plenty of players are promoted quickly these days, they seem to work out better elsewhere...

    Philly sitting on it's giant pile of money.....

    Excellent use of specious, btw.

    Apology for what? And, his agent said they made the best offer. I think players should choose money, so I have no idea what I'd apologise for. Help me understand.....

    I have no issue with Cruz's values, as far as I know. My point is clear, all those posts saying players won't come to Minnesota because it's Minnesota, or they aren't good enough, well. ... As his agent said, they gave him the best offer. Many of us have said, players mostly follow the money.

    Every other civilized nation other than Israel has single payer, and has better outcomes, for less money, than the US. why won't single payer work? How will it make things worse?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Relief pitching. Then more of that.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Try having two self employed people..... The system is anti entrepreneur. I have lots of experience and knowledge and opinions on this topic....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Btw.... Once again we see money is more important than going to a more certain playoff team....

    That's the risk they took. I don't know it will work, but they are trying to win. Good luck to them.

    While I've been beating the drum for acquiring longer term assets, I feel pretty good about this signing. A one or two year deal, for a very good to great player is better than the same deal for a mediocre player. If the core plays well, he's potentially helping a run to the playoffs. If not, they can deal him. I hope they get a few pitchers now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Speechless. In a good way.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If he could field at all, he'd be pricey!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Major League Ready and I disagree on a couple things, but largely agree. One of our areas of agreement is to identify guys in AA or AAA or the majors that your scouts are convinced can break out, and to buy low. Now, that's hard, but I would be looking hard at guys with good numbers that weren't highly ranked to see if the outcomes are real. Or at formerly highly ranked guys that have struggled, that you think you can help turn around. I don't have a list, sorry.
  24. Mike Sixel
    While a decent number of relief pitchers have signed, there are still some out there. I'm not worried yet.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I wish the front office shared your optimism and surrounded the core with a good player or four.
