    I thought it was lazy too, actually. And I usually defend these guys, because it is a chat.
  2. Mike Sixel
    to be clear, you wouldn't feel disappointment you weren't called up? I would. No matter what anyone says, since this would be my dream, not yet come true.

    Ugh. Injury riddled season for him. please tell me it wasn't a head first slide....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Arguing any pitcher that isn't already one of the 10 best, will now be one of the 20 best, is bullish kind of by definition.....in no way does that disparage Berrios, or mean that we all are not observant of his abilities.

    And we know it would wreck him how? People are so certain that "rushing" people "wrecks/ruins/kills their career". I'm not saying we know, but there seem to be a lot of people that do know that promoting Gonsalves to AAA or Jorge to AAA or whatever would "rush" and "ruin" them.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    That is unexpected. I literally have no way to predict this front office.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Well, I found it entertaining......
  8. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, I was responding to getting a 3, not him in particular. I'm also not convinced, btw, that "name" matters to FOs for the most part (outside Washington and a few other spots).

    John 3:11 So Buxton is getting rid of the leg kick again? Will they ever just stick to one swing plan? Dan Szymborski 3:11 They've been tinkering with him a lot. Which I gues sisn't surprising considering how all over the map his offense has been. this was unsatisfying... mike sixel 3:20 The Twins are, I believe, still projected to be the 2nd worst AL team RoS......what would make that change*, if anything? *realistically Dan Szymborski 3:20 Not having a 34-42 pythag would help. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-62917/

    I'd be thrilled to add a 3 for the next 2.5 or 3.5 years....thrilled.
  11. Mike Sixel
    so, change his swing after it starts "working"?
  12. Mike Sixel
    And obviously star power and previous years should* matter too. *not that anything "should" matter, frankly. It's an exhibition game.
  13. Mike Sixel
    In their defense, according to one FG writer, the Twins lead the league in launch angle, so this isn't a Twins' thing...... As for Buxton, they (and/or he) don't seem to know what to do at this point. That's what I gather anyway. Nothing about this article inspires a ton of confidence, but I'm not sure what would at this point. Other than patience, and experimentation, it doesn't seem like there is much other choice.

    Gordon and at least one other legit SP prospect, I'd guess, for Cole.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Has any team ever done that last part? I can't think of anyone.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. this is the downside of risky investments......
  17. Mike Sixel
    couldn't hate this idea more. Baseball should be played outside.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Otani's first extension after I sign him for whatever lame max he can get the first year.....

    I think the big hurdle is that most of the deals for the best players are already done, and you can't trade international money before July 2 (to keep bonus pools small, so they don't pay much to 1 player). Me? I'd trade every player that I didn't like for international money, and sign 20 - 30 guys, and as many top guys as I could.
  21. Mike Sixel
    well, I think we have a very different view of the world, then. Since, you know, he'll have 1 opportunity in his entire life to go to this ceremony, vs YEARS of working on the job. I can't even imagine anyone in the org is disappointed he's going, frankly.
  22. Mike Sixel
    His affairs.
  23. Mike Sixel
    wut? Luzinski'sSweatyGooch 12:31 With the Yankees baby bombers and Rays offensive resurgence, is there something going on with their hitting philosophies? From the naked eye it appears that their hitters are dropping hands early to get on plane with low pitches and launching them Eno Sarris 12:31 It's the Twins that lead the league in launch angle, surprisingly. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eno-sarris-baseball-chat-62917/
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, that's a very bullish view. Very. For any pitcher.
  25. Mike Sixel
    But Clinton....
