    concur. But then, I'd rather have Austin than either.....since he is even younger, and is under control for much longer. So,, I have no idea if the FO thinks like I do.....so far, I'd say "no" they do not think like me.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Cron for Santana. Everyone wins (except the Twins, I don't think Santana alone does it, and they won't spend bigly on a SP if they bring in Santana, imo).
  3. Mike Sixel
    so, yes, have a bad team and more profit....while Buxton and Sano just, what, use all their service time in a lost cause? I like Gordon, but he's not ready. I doubt they think Rooker is close, or they wouldn't bring in Cron. I'm not sure how acquiring players on 2-3 year deals hinders payroll, if you don't think they'll be good fro 2-3 years. Help me understand.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmmm. Wut?
  5. Mike Sixel
    And near MLB ready players. Twins have plenty of both.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yes. Once he's healthy again, he's a three or four win player. Then trade Sano and Kepler and random pitcher for Thor and a low A prospect. Then sign mccutchen. But no idea who the Mariners would want.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Segura for Crawford. Mariners better be getting more....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Those are the players that only cost money, and not prospects, to get better. What is the alternative? A bad team, and more money in the owner's pocket?
  9. Mike Sixel
    An ace with three years of control isn't worth a top prospect. Then apparently no one is. These comments read just like what people said about never trading Buxton, and two or three years of his control are gone... With nothing to show. A large number of people basically want this FO to stick to the Ryan plan, of never trading prospects for actual MLB players, at it's it reads this way. Three years of control. This isn't a win now move....

    Unless they get three OBP players that are really good, they need more power. One OBP guy doesn't help. There was a study a few years so that showed adding one OBP player to a bad team didn't help as adding another low OBP with power. And yes, I don't get the Cron desk either.

    I am rethinking my earlier post, I might fire the GM after this year. I'd consider demoting Zimmer to DC also, thought that's not realistic I guess. Whoever hired the OC should probably lose his job.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Can't watch, and was doing deconstruction in the new to us house. Sounds like the same team....a tease. Building a great defense is meaningless without an offense. If I was the owner, this GM would have one more year to show he can build an actual team.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The Twins clearly disagree, as they were the 2nd bidder on Darvish, so they wanted him (just for 1 year less).......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Sad face, but then, I only went once a month or so.....and I guess most didn't go as often as they go to other sites.
  15. Mike Sixel
    When people say competition, what do you mean? Like, how they play in spring games?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Apologies. Certainly not my intent. Want it deleted?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I assume all the anti juicers want Polanco gone?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Approved.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tough call. It really depends on how close they think Gordon, Lewis, Arraez (sp?) are...... I have no idea how to answer that, so I'm not sure what I'd do. I'd probably try to find a 2B for the next 2 years, and keep Polanco at SS and see if he makes progress or not. I'd be quick to promote Gordon or either of the other two (to either their next level or the majors).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Not sure why you are apologizing. Even I had to look at it two or three times to make sure I saw it right....and I've spent many days there recently looking for granite.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    MLB. Rumors of "no public money" also, but we'll see......
  22. Mike Sixel
    I still think having parking garages a mile or two out of downtown has to happen at some point.....and for cars to be banned in parts of downtown. I just don't know if people are foresightful enough to do it ....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Yes and no. It is definitely where the railroads come in, and where the granite companies and others like that are. But there are also restaurants and bars and stuff just a few blocks South. Adding the ballpark to that location would just move the eventual transition of that part of Portland up by a few years, imo. Frankly, I considered talking to some people about buying that spot, building a massive parking garage, and then working with all the new apartment buildings downtown to have some kind of shuttle service.....because there is no parking downtown (which is one reason we didn't end up there before).
  24. Mike Sixel
    It didn't help that Iron Fist was so bad the first year. Also, I admit, even as a fantasy / sci fi guy, that I have super hero fatigue. If you can't lose, I'm not sure where the drama is.....if it isn't about being a hero, and about other stuff, then why bother with the hero stuff?
  25. Mike Sixel
    If they actually build a ballpark there, I could almost see it from my new house. Not quite.....but if I lived about 2 blocks West I could. There has been discussion of adding ferries to cross the river, that would be awesome.
