    Value for a mediocre RP isn't relevant to the budget. Look at what they paid for Duke this year. And, this team is not near any cap, other than relative to their revenue. We are talking about mediocre relief pitchers, aren't we in this thread? Does it really matter if they use a guy for the minimum, or three million?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Why do we care about value? I care about wins, not cost per win.

    The front office knew the weather would be worse than normal before the season started? I mean, they have a lot of data... I just think, actually, I have no idea why Wade is in AA.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Bummer. Good luck to him.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Way too early to make any judgements on the top picks last year, agreed.
  6. Mike Sixel
    No one is asking he be Mike Trout. Why do people always use this as some kind of excuse for how bad a hitter he has been so far? As for rehab, I agree. A week or two in Rochester isn't going to change how he hits after that, imo.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They aren't young or inexperienced as a team.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He's not the one deciding where he is. I believe he was hitting more last year, and not pitching. He shows no reason not to be in AA right now, as a pitcher. So, not sure who to be disappointed in, him, or those not promoting him

    Berrios can't throw a strike, and Upton settings at the first pitch? Thanks
  10. Mike Sixel
    Romero has two starts. Not saying it can't continue.... But what are the odds? Cleveland has been great for two years. I'm guessing they are a low nineties win team this year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Weren't people here predicting some time with the twins this year? And starting next year?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Judge him for having a hobby? Like, what is he actually doing that is wrong? As for the Sano thing, let's not rehash that again.
  13. Mike Sixel
    . Based on what? There is no evidence increasing innings hurts
  14. Mike Sixel
    Of course it does. Your body is aging, as long as you live. There are peak athletic years, and then general decline. I can't tell if that was a serious question.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Just got home. Always good to "turn on the game" and see a score like this.
  16. Mike Sixel
    And Pineda. Edit. Ninjad, which I should have figured
  17. Mike Sixel
    Well, how should I factor in minor league players that will come up for teams during the year? Or when ESan returns? That's a great list for sure... I'm not arguing they don't have good young players. I'm pointing out that the league isn't really as old as we think. Take the Yankees. You think they have less, more, or same number of under 26 players? Or Houston? Or the Angels? I'm trying to pick teams that aren't obvious like the red Sox, with Betts, Boegarts, Devers, benintini, and only one starter under 26. Of course, Devers is 21, and Betts is one of the top five or ten players in the league. They're actually much younger than I thought. I figured those guys were 27 or more.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Great start again. Very encouraging
  19. Mike Sixel
    Nice!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ok. I'm just running numbers, to see if they really are "young" or not. Because I'm curiuos. And, I downloaded the numbers and ran them. I'm not really arguing, just posting numbers. I think we all forget the league is younger than it used to be....just like we all forget that X number of strikeouts isn't as bad (for a hitter) or good (for a pitcher) as it used to be. The game has changed. Do they have good players that aren't old? No one is diagreeing on that, I'm just looking at how other teams are also, because we tend to not really know as much about them. Like thinking that Garver is young, when he's median, for example.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Median MLB age of those players that have played at least 18 games this year (hitters only) is.....between 27 and 28. so, 26 isn't really young. More than 1/3 of those that have played in half their teams games are 26 or younger.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No. It is not. Not when you look at pitching also. And, you'd be surprised that other teams also have young hitters. They just aren't that young when you run the numbers. Dozier and Mauer aren't in the good half?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Most of the players above him are hitters. How would you compare him to others without seeing others?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Add me to the "no DH" crowd, and I'm older...the rare pitcher hit does not make up for all the awful pitcher at bats. Nor is there really much strategy, because managers mostly make hte same exact decisions over and over.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    "know"? good question.....but do you think athletes get more or less athletic, as they age? From what I've read, its both, but hard to say how much is from what cause. And yes, there are plenty of examples of gaining velocity as you age, just as there are many more showing it drops.
