    In the majors or minors? Because I don't agree about the minors in a couple years at all, and that's with me thinking Lewis moves to the OF....

    Dang, I get in the next day. Gonna have to think about changing my flight.

    You said trading players while the team was good would hurt the team's performance the following year. I merely provided one counter example to that. I was not discussing or replying to comments about what they got in trades, or what the Twins could get in trades. No idea what your response is to, since that was not the discussion.

    starting to be people that I identify with more and more, is 20 years older really that much older?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Red Sox just acquired Addison Reed, so that's one more team....
  6. Mike Sixel
    heh, they are billion dollar businesses, and the sig is about this site....

    I am all for our robot umpires. The rules should be the same for everyone, and the human element should be about the players. We don't randomly apply different rules in chess or other games, just to have a human element.... to put it another way....no one would invent the game to have a human element of rules application, if both robots and humans were the first choice. Maybe for a different game, that had a different purpose for how it provided entertainment, but not serious sports as we understand them now.

    I'd be shocked if he's not protected. If they aren't planning to protect him, they should be trading him. He's get real value.
  9. Mike Sixel
    to be clear, even if he's up for a taste in September, I'd probably start him in AAA next year, though I'm not certain I would.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Gray is cheap, they want under the cap, and he has more than 1 year of control left. I think it is about that, more than fixing just this year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I tend to agree that we don't need to re-hash the board in game threads. My participation is almost 100% about humor and fun. If it isn't there early (if I'm not doing something else), I don't stay.
  12. Mike Sixel
    good point. After the bad stretch, he's actually be quite good.
  13. Mike Sixel
    fair, but then, I'm a bit more aggressive with call ups than the team or others, so I don't expect that to happen. I suspect you and the good dr are correct. doesn't really matter, it's barely a non-zero chance Dozier is traded imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    They are certainly culling the herd. Frankly, I was hoping next year wasn't all about the zombie apocalypse, but there aren't many players left to fight over what remains after winter.
  15. Mike Sixel
    that's pretty much true if they keep Dozier or not, the offense isn't good enough even with him. That said, I agree, the offense would take a real hit if he's dealt. And, fixing that would have to be part of the next steps for next year for sure.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I predict: Kintzler dealt Belisle dealt Gimenez released in August waivers at some point, about 2-3 weeks from now
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd move Polanco to 2B and see what happens, put Adrianza in at SS full time, and promote Gordon in September. To fill the spot, I'd call up Garver* *pretty much what I'd do with with any non-SP spot right now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I liked the winning more
  19. Mike Sixel
    I still think Gimenez makes sense for a couple of teams, and allows Garver to come up.
  20. Mike Sixel
    This day trading seems like a good idea. Two lottery tickets in exchange for one lottery ticket.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I literally responded to your post about not trading veterans. Not sure what story I changed. And signing veterans pitchers to specifically trade them later, or day trading, is exactly what the braves did with Garcia. And what others have done.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No, refusing to trade veterans is how you extend the rebuild. You have it exactly backward, imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    There Yankees tested multiple players last year, even though they were theoretically in it. It does not seem to have hurt their performance this year. I think people vastly overestimate the long term effects of trades on emotions.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I am appalled police officers approved of using violence openly and publicly. Privately, not surprised at all. Publicly? Surprised and appalled.
  25. Mike Sixel
    confirmed, will be in MN, not Oregon, for the eclipse. I'm sure this work meeting will be awesome!
