    I guess, if you don't really think about the future, and the fact some of these guys won't be here (or healthy, or good) in the future. It's also a very risk averse way to run your life....which is fine.

    Go A's! 2:02 What is Miguel Sano still doing in the minors? How is this going to shake out? Dan Szymborski 2:03 They're taking their time, realistically speaking the 2018 season is over, so they're being cautious. Really, he should be slugging 1200 or something down there! laughing 1 cool 1 Michael 2:03 When is Sano back in the show? Doing better but still only single A... Dan Szymborski 2:04 HEY ARE YOU TWO THE SAME DUDE Eddie 2:20 Better prospect...Jo Adell or royce lewis? Dan Szymborski 2:20 May be Adell right now 2:21 and Lewis is damn good 54 2:42 What is the most interesting potential Machado destination to you? Dan Szymborski 2:42 Philadelphia becuase they could then literally take him off the market quickly cool 4 2:43 I also had a dream that the O's traded him to the Twins for Gordon, Thorpe, and Rooker, and the Twins signed him Rufus 2:49 % chance that the Twins do not finish 2nd in their division? Dan Szymborski 2:49 10? I'm pulling that mike sixel 2:57 Can MN catch CLE? If not, should they deal Kyle Gibson at peak value, he has a year of control left and has been very good since they changed his approach last year. Dan Szymborski 2:57 I think it's unlikely. I'd at least listen to Gibson offers. Guest 3:08 Went and saw sano yesterday in lakeland. His family was there and they all look like him. Even the girls. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-7-16-18-2-pm-et/

    Someone who will never be allowed to face a LH pitcher....and a 4th OF or more. glad he's finally up and playing.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I don't suppose any of the crack reports asked why McGill is on the roster, and not being used....say, ever, or in a blow out? I am baffled by this....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe he embarrassed him like that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    They still haven't asked why Belisle is on the roster, so good luck. They only question players here....
  7. Mike Sixel
    McGill? WTH?
  8. Mike Sixel
    He won't let him catch... But he will pitch...
  9. Mike Sixel
    Who?
  10. Mike Sixel
    It is true, I am too cheap to watch games... Especially after getting laid off, I cut a lot of subscriptions. But I have read what you all say, and I get the argument. I'm not sure how bad he'd have to be for me to have basically the hitting quality of a pitcher at catcher, though. But I understand the argument.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He can pretty much only play first or DH....imo, the defense knocks him down a tiny bit.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm done. It's almost like we are ignoring all the posts here. Enjoy.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure they are. Teams that win have more talented players too. Are you suggesting if they just coach better, and don't add elite talent, this team can compete with the big three? I find that not likely, but maybe you are right. I'd rather bet on more talent bring the key than better coaching fixing anything in the next two years.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Of course they are. Thats a problem for sure.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Both catchers have issues....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Except for all the new draft picks added.....to the list also (at least on FG) https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-updated-top-131-prospect-rankings/
  17. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to Wilson who can't hit at all? Why doesn't he have to earn his starts? This is no way to build for 2019 and beyond. Or even win this year.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Moved up from 77 to 62....
  19. Mike Sixel
    With Dozier hitting 40 bombs, and Mauer having his best year in the last four....both of whom may not be on the roster. And, as pointed out by you and others, not even close to competitive in the playoffs. Catcher is one of the few spots where they can clearly upgrade, from "meh" to good or better. They'll either need to trade to do so, or will have to outbid the other teams for the 2 good FA catchers. I'm not saying they SHOULD trade for Realmuto, I'm saying it is one of the few opportunities to get an elite player they have.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Who is "excited" to trade Gibson? How do people expect this team to get better, if they won't trade prospects for MLB players, and they won't trade veterans for minor league players, and they won't sign the more expensive FAs?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Has anyone argued otherwise, on that last point? I sure haven't. Do you think it likely they will outbid all the other teams needing catchers? I can't think of one time they've outbid teams for the top talent in FA....they are good at getting the "efficient" plays....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Like? There aren't many good choices, if we exclude the outfield, to upgrade the team in free agency. Also, assuming we exclude the elite talents
  23. Mike Sixel
    Definitely not a preference for pitching, having read them the last few years. They are all bunched up in about the same spot, my only point is that I don't get the opinion that somehow they made the right choice for sure or not at this point.....nothing more or less.
  24. Mike Sixel
    very.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    that's fair, but 2019 doesn't look like it will be any kind of awesome year, without serious additions to the roster.....one year of Gibson is probably less valuable than 4-5 of a starting catcher, if he becomes that.
