    rumor is that Yankees are acquiring Britton....I wonder if that makes them less likely to acquire Rodney.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Berrios is legit. After that incredibly insightful post, I now return to making dinner. Well, soon.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I don't believe that for the Twins at all.....lots of players stay there after they join the team. Current players must know that, and even talk to them (through agents).
  4. Mike Sixel
    we are in season 3.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    It is difficult to figure out the plan in MN, with Motter and Belisle playing.......
  6. Mike Sixel
    I would certainly consider that......

    The Astros have the best rotation in the game, maybe one of the best in a very long time.....so, sure, he won't crack the best rotation in the game. How about the Yankees? Or the Cubs? He's better than any Cubs pitcher this year..... Basically, the question is.....did he make a real change last year? Is he now a legit number 2? Feel free to think not, but the data for the last 12 months indicates otherwise. Projection systems say otherwise. I bet most teams think he's a 2/3 right now, and for next year.

    Proposal No. 4 (via @lou_sigillo) Yankees get: Right-hander Lance Lynn Twins get: Right-hander Sonny Gray This is an interesting thought for both teams to consider and one that could make sense if the Yankees think Lynn gives them a better chance than Gray to win a World Series title this season. Gray is under control through 2019, making him more attractive to the Twins than Lynn, who is set to become a free agent in a few months. Both pitchers' numbers seem similar at first glance, but Lynn has looked much better over his past 10 starts (4.30 ERA). Who says no? The Yankees. While Lynn has pitched better of late, the difference between him and Gray isn't significant enough for New York to give up Gray's remaining year of control. The Yanks can always trade Gray in the offseason if things don't turn around, and they should be able to find a team that thinks Gray can rebound if he gets away from Yankee Stadium, where he has posted a lifetime 6.55 ERA in 15 starts. https://www.mlb.com/news/trade-deadline-proposals/c-286451634

    that was last week for us, we ate out a bit at the beginning, and then had many boxes.....it was definitely an interest mix of flavors....
  10. Mike Sixel
    gibson is 26th in WAR this year.......what is your definition? he's 49th since the beginning of last year, counting the first half, before he made his change in approach.....of all pitchers with at least 250 innings pitched. His projection for the rest of the year is better than any Brewer pitcher..... I could keep going, but I doubt people are listening.

    still time for dinner.....I am making ancho chili marinated chicken, with tomatillo avocado salsa....
  12. Mike Sixel
    FYI......today is Taco Tuesday, and National Tequila Day......just sayin'

    I also had a salad, mostly because the bread in my apartment was not looking edible.....

    Swishdelish 3:39 Whats a name no one is talking about the yankees might grab as a starter? Also are they really considering Floria for Britton? Steve Adams 3:40 I don't know why no one is talking much about Kyle Gibson as a trade candidate. Reasonable salary, velocity is up, K's and swinging strikes are up, grounders are still solid. Controlled through 2019. Not necessarily just for the Yankees -- he'd certainly help them -- but he should be on more radars I think. Might write about that tonight. Maybe the Twins have no interest in moving him, but they have a lot of upper-level pitching prospects and plenty of money to spend this winter... they can afford to move him Falvey plan 4:09 Does Molly survive this year in Minnesota? Steve Adams 4:09 Not his fault that Buxton, Sano and Ervin have been total non-factors in 2018, and he was just extended last year. He'll stick around. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-7-24-18-3618.html
  15. Mike Sixel
    Wut? He's been a number 2 for over a year now. I really don't get what people are typing about Gibson on these threads.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Good promotion! Me? I like guys to be challenged, and moved up until they are.
  17. Mike Sixel
    part of a series of articles, that might be relevant to this thread: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-2018-replacement-level-killers-second-base/

    Not really. If you have a terrible farm system, you probably want lots of numbers. Not having lots of negative WAR players on your roster is a huge boost to really bad teams.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    If they could make cars.....but I agree, someday someone will figure out how to make an electric car I want, and can afford, and actually deliver it......and I don't have any confidence it is Tesla.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Devastating to lose someone that young (two years older than me!). I've gone to urgent care/ER three times with chest pains....each time, it was nothing. And it cost me a TON OF MONEY. Each time, I debated even going. It's too bad they couldn't figure out how to help him this time.
  21. Mike Sixel
    just examples.....I can name a lot more. Tesla may or may not be a disrupter, that's really the key question at this point, to me. I'm out, I was in, but i'm out now. but, I get why some people (a lot) are in.

    Josh 10:34 I saw a rumor yesterday that Milwaukee is interested in Moustakas and would be open to using Travis Shaw at 2B. This...can’t be true, can it? Does Dozier to the Brewers almost feel inevitable? Jeff Sullivan 10:35 I'm sure it's just something they've thought about, and it's not crazy, given that Shaw is a good defensive 3B and the adjustment to 2B isn't dramatic 10:36 That being said, that's like more of an offseason move, since Shaw hasn't played an inning at second in the majors in his career. Would have very little time to pick it up, and, importantly, Mike Moustakas isn't very good Dozier fits. Escobar also fits https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-7-24-18/
  23. Mike Sixel
    got it. makes sense, if there are any of those left that are good/great prospects. I know people don't think the rankings mean much for these young guys, but they actually appear to be as good a predictor as draft picks......more expensive guys have a higher likelihood of being good.

    In an article about what sellers' strategies should be: "One top prospect" candidates Teams: Mets, Pirates, Reds, Twins The Pirates, Reds, and Twins all have strong farm systems and promising young talent on their big-league rosters already. They're best positioned to take a shot at a high-end talent. Also, those are three teams that can't afford stars on the open market. They have to grow their own stars, so go after those elite prospects at the trade deadline, even if it means getting fewer players in return. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/selling-at-the-mlb-trade-deadline-who-should-aim-for-a-mejia-and-who-should-target-a-big-package/

    I agree with others, there is a limit to the transparency, and they owe us nothing. Just as we owe them nothing.
