    Which position is easier? They're not giving up on one of these out fielders. Or SS, assuming they like Polanco. Or 2b, unless they upgrade from Dozier? Or third base. And not first base this year.
  2. Mike Sixel
    By getting better all around, by adding MLB talent. Assuming Gordon is worse than Dozier next year, how are they better next year? If it is from their existing players, well, all those but Gordon and Gonsalves would still be here, except Dozier. And Sano and Buxton don't have much window left after this year. Realmuto aligns much better to their time here than Gordon does.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'd call up Slegers and move Lynn to the bullpen and cut Hughes.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they should have planned better to have players with options. I would have. But they are filled with veteran pitchers without options.
  5. Mike Sixel
    . Realmuto is younger and better than Garver and would be here in the window of Buxton and Sano. I'm not sure I understand, do you not expect them to contend next year or the year after? I like Gordon more than most, but he's a serious step down from Dozier.

    I don't hate the attempt, but I don't love it either
  7. Mike Sixel
    Rather than use Hughes, they are just going to burn through the bullpen? Other than money....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Gotta give up value to get value. I see your argument, we just don't agree on the conclusion. Which is cool with me. Realmuto put up 3.6fwar last year. I can't see Garver come close to that, and I'm a fan. It stings to trade minor league players.... But that's what teams do, at some point. I doubt Houston regrets the Verlander deal much right now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Ya, he was pretty much median among catchers last year. I just don't think that likely to keep up as he ages.
  10. Mike Sixel
    What is the point of Hughes if not this type of game, other than money...
  11. Mike Sixel
    Lynn working hard to disprove there is no such thing as a bad one year deal....I did not see him as this bad, no way Is Hughes up?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Sixth in first base WAR.... He's not the best, but he's been good this year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'd do that. It would sting, but I'd do that.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    All fair. What would you give up? I'd be good with a RH left or right fielder, but is the upgrade that big? Rosario and Kepler are probably two war players this year. I can't see them cutting bait on Mauer or Morrison, or Dozier, or Buxton. I can't imagine there is a SS available they like more than Polanco they would pay for. That doesn't leave many options, imo.
  16. Mike Sixel
    There is no evidence that limiting innings growth prevents injuries.* If he pitches well, he should stay in the rotation. Unsure about a six man rotation. I'd probably move Lynn to the bullpen, but I wouldn't disagree with a six man rotation if they go that way. *The verducci effect is bunk. And no, we aren't taking about going from ten innings to two hundred.
  17. Mike Sixel
    All true, but where else are they old and going to look outside for improvement? Polanco and Gordon are the MIF if Dozier leaves. Sano at third. The OF is controlled for some time, and has potential they aren't giving up on. That leaves first and catcher and DH.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Great start. Wow, when he's on, wow
  19. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but if you can't get on base, it has less value to be good once you do. There is still a ton of hope, he's not exactly old. But here's just not a good enough hitter so far, alas. Great defender and base runner.... Not even a meh hitter yet.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I wanted them to sign Castro. I don't hate him at all, as a player or person. But he's got one year left, and he's a catcher having knee surgery.... And skills decline with age. Most minor league players just don't turn out. Realmuto is one of the best catchers in the game. Garver isn't close to that. I think it likely we won't agree on this one. I'd rather the team have good MLB players than a deep farm system they don't trade from, only to watch other teams trade for Verlander....I don't want a repeat of the previous FO refusing to make good teams better, as a fan.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Recovery time or not, he's not getting younger or better... And he has one cheap year left. I find it hard to believe he's even the main catcher next year, and if he is, that's probably not a good sign about Garver....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Why is that too expensive? They have what at catcher? Castro isn't stellar, and now he'll be older and coming off a season ending injury. What is the point of a deep system if you won't trade from it? Realmuto is an answer for this season and two more. And, I am a Garver fan.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Gonsalves or Gaterol and kiriloff.... And Garver. Expensive for sure....
  24. Mike Sixel
    It doesn't bother you someone is hurt?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Like I predicted in the trade threads, it wouldn't be soon. Very sad to be right. If they don't make a deal, I have to continue to question their ability to run this team.
