    If it is a series of 1 year deals again, I can't wait for Portland to get a team.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Injuries happen. If you won't sign any player because injuries might happen, sell your team. The twins offered the second most for him....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Couldn't blame him for going
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nope. It says at least try to add some great players. No place does it say sell the whole future. As opposed to posters who want all the stars to assign before adding expensive players from outside.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Or maybe they are right. And not relying on the sixth or seventh best pitcher in your farm system is worth the risk of signing good players.
  6. Mike Sixel
    No one is saying sell the whole farm, or go all in. No one. But there are aggressive moves that can be made. Rather than wait another year or three.

    I'm confident Machado and Harper will get paid......rumor has it Corbin will sign a deal almost exactly like Darvish got, with some smart team....like Darvish signed with a smart team....so maybe long term SP deals aren't stupid.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I agree with vanimal, almost entirely.

    And Tampa has no championships to show, and no fans. They barely make the playoffs. Given their competition, why not run the team the way they do and win 82-90 games and miss the playoffs, but make more money? Maybe if they, I don't know, traded for or signed big time players, they'd make the playoffs and win some post season games. It is their right to want to make more money, it is the fan's right to want them to try to win more. You know, the customers.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Wouldn't that require them to develop one first? It's a convenient way to not spend money..... but, they spent a lot last year. They just spent it very wrongly, imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Thor is controlled for 3 years......I'm confused how adding a guy that is young, and under control for three years, is a "win now" move. It's hard to add a guy for longer, without signing an older FA for a longer term.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Moves made to add long term MLB talent this year help for next year, and the year after, if not longer. Never adding MLB talent on long term deals is why the team isn't in a better position this year than last off season, because they added almost no one at all that would be here in 2019....unless you love the cheap but efficient Odo, Reed, and Pineda deals (they'll all be gone after this year, opening 3 more holes). Never adding long term MLB deals in trade or FA is a self fulfilling prophecy for not having any talent on the roster. And then, hey, ,they aren't close, so they shouldn't add talent!
  13. Mike Sixel
    We've decided after one injury year that Darvish was a bad signing? Buxton was bad last year, is it bad to keep him around? Anibal Sanchez was not going to carry this team anywhere.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Then I'd do it. Can someone convince why not?
  15. Mike Sixel
    I never said that.....but others did. I said unpaid internships are exclusionary. Of course, Obama did attend an Ivy league school......
  16. Mike Sixel
    And, here we are again, with no holes filled for all those moves. Because they are all short term, meh, signings.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's certainly possible, that it was all PR. I accused them of as much last year, and was told that wasn't fair.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't the question, but again, fair answer.......how would you suggest they get better, if you won't commit money for FAs, because that's what the good ones cost? I am assuming you aren't trading off Lewis or Kiriloff either.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    That's a fair stance, but Buxton has 4 years left, and Segura 3. Which one is more likely to be good during that time?
  20. Mike Sixel
    hell, I was a paid intern on the Hill in the 80s.......if they could afford it then, they can afford it now. And, ya, being there is both amazing, and enlightening.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Poor people can't spend a summer not working. They can't. It's one reason why all the interns and future execs in MLB are from rich families that went to Ivy League schools. Unpaid internships are bad policy, and the democrats look like absolute hypocrites for continuing this policy. I'd bet he has millions of dollars in his reelection fund, or other funds.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Buxton for Segura. Move Lewis to CF......problem solved.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Three years of Buxton vs three years of Segura? Not sure which side I'd rather have right now. Do I have the years of control correct? three years of Buxton for three years of Segura and a good RP? Polanco to 2B, Kepler or Cave to CF. I don't know, but that team sounds like it might be better than whatever bad 2B they pick up, and 1 year "prove it" RP they sign (I'm guessing ,based on 2 years of data, here, I could be wrong on what they'll do).
  24. Mike Sixel
    For 30* years? seems unlikely. *almost, and yes, I am talking about the team, not current FO.
  25. Mike Sixel
    given results, can you blame us?
