    Has anyone they signed to a minor league deal not made the team the next year? Seems like a lot have....

    Putting aside the value of the teams rising faster than payrolls (yay for capital if you like them more than labor).....the Twins need to increase payroll 50% to reach 90% of the average payroll..... but, this post was started because there is clearly plenty of money in the league to pay players more.....

    It should have been obvious to everyone that Hughes was done. If not, the FO has serious scouting issues. Serious. A team that wants to build through the draft and IFA and trading vets for 45 value prospects sold a 2nd round pick. It was all about money, money they aren't going to spend this year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    correct, my bad......not really the point, but correct.

    Three MO state legislators switched parties, because they can't stand the GOP anymore......where are the so called moderates in the US Senate?

    Ron: You think Kepler will put it together this year? If he does can he be a 4-5 win player? Buxton just needs to be healthy, right? Keith Law: I thought he was going to put it together in 2018, so I guess yes, I still do. Buxton needs to get healthy. Sano needs to get in shape. There’s a lot of upside on that team, which is one reason I don’t agree with fans who think Cleveland has the division on lockdown. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2018/12/20/klawchat-12-20-18/

    I don't get this argument.....fair or not, they could get 4 or 5 really good to great prospects. That's better than nothing. Which is what they'll get in a few years.

    AAA Is filled with guys good enough, or almost good enough, to pitch in the majors. Drastic difference in pitching. I'd rather they push him up, and he face these guys, than the occasional great prospect in AA.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I have no hope anymore for this team. Major underachievers.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'll try again.... If teams thought this, why wasn't he traded for top prospects? Multiple.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not only that, they traded a valuable draft pick to do so.... Which makes no sense if you entire strategy is to build thru the draft nearly exclusively.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Those outcomes come from bad decisions, and being frugal. Good pitchers are available. That said, you are close to convincing me to consider your idea.
  13. Mike Sixel
    That seems pricey.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You also make longer commitments to reduce uncertainty. If you have a roster of guys who can leave, it's pretty hard to plan for the future. To answer Nick, if I thought he'd have an era under four for the next few years, of course I'd sign him. But if anyone thought that, it would take more than palacios to acquire him.
  15. Mike Sixel
    No chance. He's a number four or five starter. Why pay for that? And why are we worried about money? They have less than fifty million committed past 2020. Are we trying to win, or win the efficiency prize?
  16. Mike Sixel
    It's about secondary offerings, not durability.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Certainly a strategy I would consider.....but maybe they just want depth too. Maybe they'll deal someone at the deadline, when they see what they need (health, performance changes.....)
  18. Mike Sixel
    I've certainly read a national writer or two that think he's a GREAT fit for high leverage reliever, and only an OK fit for starter.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm more worried they are eyeing JC Penney.....but that's a great analogy. Spot on.
  20. Mike Sixel
    You realize these are the predictions they made going into last year, right?
  21. Mike Sixel
    OR OTHERS. Seemed pretty clear....maybe not.
  22. Mike Sixel
    So, what some of us have been asking for Kepler, or McCutchen or others to do......but what do the Astros know?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Nearly every signing has been for more money than the masses predicted, and players got last year. Last year was an anomaly.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Isn't this a thread to talk about what other teams are doing? I'm confused.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Given we are taking about a guy that signed with another team, in not sure I understand. If I am the Mets,I want a guy like Garver to pair up, sure. We were taking about what the Mets did, I thought.
