    He's blocking them from upgrading from either inside or outside teh org next year. If you keep him, you are keeping him and less likely to add from outside the org. and if you are going to cut him in teh off season, cut him now, imo. M

    because babying pitchers doesn't work either, and I say get them up and see what they can do. Get them some acclimation to the majors. Get some nerves out of the way. Prepare for the future, and maybe get lucky this year also.

    I'm fairly indifferent, as long as they give up older prospects this FO doesn't want to give a chance, why not? That said, I'd rather they promote their AA pitchers to AAA, then the majors, this year. Others think that is rushing them, and will hurt their development. I don't feel that way.

    Other than a roster spot that can't be used to send players back and forth from the minors, and the opportunity to see if those guys can get MLB out or not......and more runs to give up (potentially). All on the minuscule chance he's ever good again. Making hard roster decisions about veterans is how bad (or meh) teams get good. Keeping bad veterans around is how you extend rebuilds.

    Agreed. People will say "they won't eat that money"....but they aren't eating that money. If they bring up a rookie, they are increasing payroll by 400K give or take. Is it better to spend an extra 400K, and have a potentially better player (or be able to cycle thru guys with options, giving team flexibility with their RP roster), or to keep Hughes and, um, not be good most likely?

    Yankees, or Red Sox? Either way, I doubt it happens. He's not that good. The Sox should just call up their minor league stud. The Yankees will be buying Machado in 1.5 years, so not sure what they should do here. I am not familiar enough with their minor league system...

    I didn't dislike it, I just didn't love it. It needed, for me, one more plot scene. And, having read so much fantasy, I tire of the plot devices of "we aren't going to communicate with each other at all" and "we won't act on that danger, because you aren't important yet".

    True story: While in Nebraska for Christmas with the extended family, I was maybe 4-5....as the minister walked down the aisle, I yelled out "here come da judge". My grandmother was not amused, and asked how often we went to church back home....
  9. Mike Sixel
    When has he ever been a GB specialist? that's more myth than reality. I posted "good luck with that defense" before the game even started for a reason...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Like other successful teams do with their pitchers sometimes? This org is so dang change averse, what they've been doing hasn't worked all that well....
  11. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, the OF and IF defense was terrible yesterday. I'm not sure he really gave up 4 ER.....He was a 4/5 yesterday, imo. Is that great? No. Is that an 'excuse". No. but, it is a reasonable explanation for what happened.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd have been happy on either side of that deal. Either play to win, or play for the future, but playing the middle never works.
  13. Mike Sixel
    For lack of a better place: That episode was just like the books, an hour of time passed, and nothing happened! Though, I do like that it was heavy on character. I didn't need boring, emotional, walk up scenes here anymore than I did in Star Wars 7.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You realize demand decreases, and the ones willing to pay a higher price are out, right? edit: ninja'd!
  15. Mike Sixel
    I say just leave him in rookie ball. Don't want to rush him and ruin a 24 year old's future forever by rushing him.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Why are the Tigers trading a young, cost controlled, part of their future?
  17. Mike Sixel
    No. Not great. Old. Expensive.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hard to say with certainty, it was a generalization on a message board, not a PHD paper.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think he's a fourth OF, but judging him already is funny, from the crowd that wants Buxton not to be judged yet..
  20. Mike Sixel
    It is astounding.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Seems like this team should be doing that kind of trade. But I doubt it happens.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Good luck with that defense....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Given that you and Palka have the same value.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Might be the post I most strongly agree with ever. So far,i like one move by this front office, and actively hate several.

    Great intro
