    It was an example of going young, not him specifically. Stop with the old, never was, players. Apparently that was not clear?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Another terrible, old, never was. I would love a new approach.... Like Verlander it s young player with upside. Like Slegers, for example. But why bother trying?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I thought they were pitching gurus?
  4. Mike Sixel
    sounds like a major upgrade!
  5. Mike Sixel
    And who is as good as Verlander that is available? Oh, and you have to oubid 29 other teams too.
  6. Mike Sixel
    More than enough. There is almost no excess value in his contract right now. I was thinking a similar deal, only Jorge and Kiriloff and Jay.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Correct, but I do agree, he should be plan 7-8 or so, for starter.....not plan 1-5.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Well, we all went out, and my boss had purchased glasses. It was about 80some percent. Not bad when it peaked thru the clouds....
  9. Mike Sixel
    cloudy in MN.....where I was forced to fly for work....

    The further we get from what Martin wrote, the more I question the show runners......it's still very good television, but there seems to be a lot of hand waving and other stuff to get us to the end on time (next year).
  11. Mike Sixel
    Great episode, as long as you completely ignore the passage of time.....unless Jon and team slept there for like a week or two....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Agreed
  13. Mike Sixel
    Thorpe should be much higher. But this is an amazing list! Wow.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You've seen a lot less movies than me
  15. Mike Sixel
    Melville? Hmmm.
  16. Mike Sixel
    No Garver. Sigh.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And, again just now
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not exactly how I read it.

    9:41 Jeff Sullivan: Right now I don’t think he’ll make it, but he’s going to end up as one of those borderline guys who’s written about a lot. It’s going to come down to how the future voting pool decides to handle catchers, with whatever new data is made available 9:42 Jeff Sullivan: I mean, Mauer has a way higher career fWAR than Yadier Molina, who a lot of people think will make it. Molina will get tons of credit for leadership stuff that Mauer will miss out on, but the point is, there will be a case 10:23 Breakout: Noticed Byron Buxton lately? Contact up, contact quality up, swing and miss down. Obviously all these things were starting at a pretty terrible place but interesting things are happening with him. He also bailed on a big leg kick. At the very least, watch his HR yesterday. 10:24 Jeff Sullivan: I’m going to need a lot more than a couple of decent weeks against bad pitching 10:25 Jeff Sullivan: 10 Twins have batted at least 20 times in August, and Buxton has the third-highest strikeout rate 10:25 Jeff Sullivan: That being said, I’ve really come to appreciate his defense. If he’s just going to be an occasionally more powerful Billy Hamilton, that’s not horrible http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-81817/
  20. Mike Sixel
    Actually, at least on Fangraphs writer thought the Dbacks had a good shot to surprise people. Looking at Grienke and their health issues, one can understand how that might be......people have been underestimating Grienke forever.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Maybe it's more about what he can learn about facing tougher competition? Maybe it's about accelerating next year? Maybe it's about who knows? He's probably good enough to be promoted, for me, the question would be, why not....not, why not wait.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Congratulations and good luck!
  23. Mike Sixel
    So they aren't trying to win and get to the playoffs, it is evaluation time?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I admire the heck out of Perkins for his effort. That is different than what the team should do with the roster spot. And yes, the human element should always be considered in business, but there are a lot of Twins'employees that should be considered, not just one player and his effort. I am a Perkins fan, but I am not sure he should be on the roster.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
