    I don't think it is wrong for great players to want to play together. What is wrong with that? You seen to have concluded that is wrong, but why? Isn't that their right, to want to win? So, i don't even agree with your starting premise.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but things change when you are in the majors.....so while scouting helps, it isn't fully predictive. Either way, he's the backup this year and we'll know a lot more in 6 months than we do now.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We won't really know much about Garver's defense for a couple of years, unless it is truly atrocious. But in general, unless you have an elite hitter back there, I agree.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Terrible human beings.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I say start the best player, in the best context. Garver can flat out hit minor league pitching. Let's give him a real shot this year.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Awful. I hope he sues the **** our of the government. And wins.
  7. Mike Sixel
    How does this do that? Because... A. They still talk B. Even if they don't directly, this doesn't stop anything about trying to get the best players together. Imo
  8. Mike Sixel
    Effectively signed for seven years... Guess long term deals still exist for the top players
  9. Mike Sixel
    Wowzers.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Which prospects are they protecting? Not opposed, just seems like other positions are bigger needs. That said, if they like him a lot, great.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Three options? Hmmmm, makes a bit more sense.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I understand. They have this player twice already in AAA. Not sure it matters, but I don't get it.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sheldon Richardson.... Wow
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not even close. Suarez is not considered an elite player, and did not receive the kind of bonus those two did. Imo
  15. Mike Sixel
    See the new version of that post.... Which is highly redacted and edited
  16. Mike Sixel
    There is, imo, a difference between wanting something, and expecting something.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Stupid rule. IMO
  18. Mike Sixel
    Yes to all of that. Well, except reading the minds of other players. But yes, scoops and stretches are in there. If we all watched every game, we'd see how infrequently stretches happen, and how most first basemen make the plays most every time. At least that's what I've read on line, I've certainly not watched every game. This is not to disparage Mauer, he is definitely very good on defense. It's just that the gap is much smaller than we think between good and bad defense at first. Mauer is a good player, the question is how long that will last, and what it costs to pay him, and have a roster spot, compared to other options.

    Great post. This is also largely due to the fact that attendance plays little part in profits now....
  20. Mike Sixel
    You know, I mostly agreed with your first post....I didn't say anything that you didn't seem to at least imply.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Actually, ranking correlates fairly well with outcomes. Not great, but they aren't really guesses without merit.
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's almost like defensive stats aren't out there to look at.... He's very good, but the delta on runs saved for first basemen is tiny compared to other positions. Tiny.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I would have to read this again to be sure, bit I agree with all of this on first read.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Need a CB more than safety, but my priorities were.... QB DL OG CB DL S OT Rumor has it they are moving Remmers inside, making OT a top priority.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He even said he might have Gonsalves too high..... Both Gore and Greene are ahead of Lewis. It is a system lacking star power. If they missed on both Stewart and Gordon..... That is an opportunity lost.
