    What is left to tear down? Gibson? The OF is not old, Sano, Polanco and Garver.... Austin. I mean, what is left to tear down?
  2. Mike Sixel
    What expiring assets are left? And why not buy one really good free agent, that will be here for the next four or five years, so you aren't trying to fill as many holes when Lewis and kiriloff are here? And, I don't think I said I'd try to buy a whole team..... That's not going to happen.

    Great job by Gonsalves! And some of the hitters I want back too.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Heh, reading comprehension fail!
  5. Mike Sixel
    On Corbin....MLB.com is predicting around a 150MM or more contract....since he's younger than Darvish....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Why would you want Santana? Like, I have no idea why.....why would you want Dozier? Seriously, bringing back the same roster isn't good enough, not even a little. If they aren't going to add serious talent, just call up Rooker and Wade and Gordon......and start the process.
  7. Mike Sixel
    ? Isn't he signed for a couple more years? Not sure I understand....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm very happy for him! Doesn't change any of hte other comments' validity, imo.

    This game is exhibit A for why September stats are so misleading.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Wow, the Tigers are really bad at this game. Wow.
  11. Mike Sixel
    great part of the site, and my day. Thank you all.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Lots and lots more talent...... 1B, 2B, SS, CF, DH, and at least one more SP they can count on....oh, and 2-3 RPs. So, ya, lots of things..... but if I have to pick one thing to add, it would be a SP that is a 2/3 for the next 4 years.....give or take. That would be huge for this team. Kiriloff and Lewis are coming, as are Rooker and Weil and Gordon. What they really need is a really good starting pitcher (or 2 very good RPs).
  13. Mike Sixel
    Even that seems a bit low on Corbin for me.....I think he's in the 15-20 range, but I could be off....

    mike sixel 1:10 Odds we see Kiriloff in MN next year at some point? thanks! Kiley McDaniel 1:11 On this trajectory, he would be deserving of at least a September look. May depend on competitive situation to see if he actually does get a look

    Nothing about how she is being treated is a surprise. Sometimes I wonder just how much progress we are really making. What a sad world ....

    Logan 12:55 Royce Lewis is now listed at SS instead of CF on the board. Think he sticks in the dirt? Kiley McDaniel 12:55 Looks more likely now than ever! Talked about this some of the last podcast too. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-9-19-18/
  18. Mike Sixel
    that's great! That means your best hitters are getting less at bats. that would be awesome for the pitching team. awesome.

    http://meadowparty.com/blog/2018/09/13/klawchat-9-13-18/ Dave: Are you ok with Lewis and Kirilloff missing the AFL? Keith Law: They didn’t miss it – they weren’t chosen, probably because both played full seasons already. Jason : With talk of his possible retirement, is Joe Mayer a HOF player? Is he if he stayed at catcher? Keith Law: If he retires now, he’s going to be a borderline case who struggles on the ballot because his traditional numbers don’t add up and because he doesn’t ‘feel’ like a HoFer, while folks like me or Jay Jaffe may end up banging the drum for him when he pulls in 21% of the vote in year one. ScottyD in Downingtown: Kiriloff starts 2019 at AA? Would a mid-2020 ETA in Minnesota be accurate? Keith Law: That’s probably right – although really, he might be ready next September, and we’re all arguing about service time manipulation again. Big Tawn: Does Byron Buxton need a change of scenery for his bat to pan out? Can he realistically be a 50 hitter with 50 power? Keith Law: I think he can be that guy, but I don’t know if he needs a change of scenery, or just, you know, major league at bats. Matt: Are Mauer and McCutchen and David Wright HOF players to you? I heard Buster talk about them on the podcast. Just curious. Keith Law: Mauer will be close. The others I think are on the outside.

    And Gordon still 60.... Sites still like him a lot.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Lead of hitter hits first so he gets more at bats, not because teams care if he hits first in an inning. Really, it's the inverse of the opener theory. The idea is to make it less likely your primary guy faces the best players three times, not to guarantee it.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He's a free agent.... They can sign him again if they want. Why keep him for a lost season? And, I'm guessing that was the best offer...
  23. Mike Sixel
    He pitched six innings and htave up one unearthed run, and you don't know how to feel?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Glavine had great stuff. Gonsalves does not. He's a RP or shuttle guy, imo. The rest of the top five have really interesting stuff. Looking forward to seeing Thorpe next year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Keeping Dozier and Escobar doesn't help next year at all, or any year, probably. Since they are free agents. How does keeping them help?
