    so if he's replacement level the rest of the way, he puts up around 2 WAR more than Rosario. Sigh. I never loved Hicks, and I had no issue with the trade. It wasn't working here, and they needed a catcher. I never loved JRM, but it seemed like two guys that would be ok backups were traded for each other.
  2. Mike Sixel
    agreed, there is not good answer. I do agree, any pitcher that is throwing at a guy on purpose should be gone for weeks.

    this one. for about a week now. Only on your site, no others. I cleared my cache, powered down my phone twice, and it seems ok for now, but I did have a popup earlier I didn't recognize. Chrome. Android.
  4. Mike Sixel
    spot on. Especially the diminishing returns part.
  5. Mike Sixel
    if this is what they are stuck with, then the manager needs to actually use those players, whether he likes it or not...
  6. Mike Sixel
    Nope, anyone you want to know if he went in round 1? he basically says in a tweet that there are lot of guys being "promised" they'll go in round 1 by teams, that won't....
  7. Mike Sixel
    the game does nothing to protect him. he should do what, stand there and get hit for no reason?

    Let's just say we disagree that they need to trade for RP. Let's also disagree that they "started late" and not good RPs were available for them to sign. That's, um, just not true. They decided to add old, bad players. They then added more old, bad players. They clearly don't want to call up the any young RP from the minors. They don't want to take a starter from AA or AAA and make him a RP in the majors. Breslow and Belisle aren't "fine" or any other word for "meh". They are bad. No one wanted them on their roster for a reason. I do agree on your ESan take, he was great again. It's criminal how under rated he's been here. And, Mauer has been great in May. Let's hope he can keep it up.

    KLAW continuing to project the Twins taking Wright, in his latest post on ESPN.

    If they can't pitch with a six run lead, then when could they, in your opinion?
  11. Mike Sixel
    The only moves this FO made were for two catchers, and this bullpen. They wanted Belisle and Breslow. They did not promote one young player. There were actual ML pitchers in free agency, this is what they chose. Many people questioned this, and others said changes would be fast. The changes were to sign other bad, old, pitchers. It might be time to change the strategy.
  12. Mike Sixel
    And next year? Keep him down again, so he gets regulate at bats?
  13. Mike Sixel
    This is what happens when you build a bad, old, bullpen filled with guys with no options. Entirely predictable.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Third year pitchers are young? How long are MLB players lacking experience?
  15. Mike Sixel
    What young staff?
  16. Mike Sixel
    By that logic, he doesn't come up next year either, at 27.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I did hate those drafts so much. Here we are in almost June, no promotions even within the minors.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    There are always excuses for why something isn't done. Not one RP was promoted this spring, and not one yet. It is a pattern, I am looking at patterns, not one off decisions.
  19. Mike Sixel
    For me? Some time in July.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Not calling him up means another year of him not making money, or getting lifetime healthcare, and maybe never realizing his dream.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't know if it true or not, but it is discussed on fangraphs and ESPN and CBS. By sports analysts. Whether true or not, it's what I would do. Snark aside, what would you do?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Nothing better than sharing things with kids, even things from Bay.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Let's be honest, this is the greatest cover ever... Not sure why it did that link..... https://g.co/kgs/8INzue
  24. Mike Sixel
    Most importantly, good luck to him in his recovery.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He's 25, service time is irrelevant. So he could have pitched while healthy. From what I have read online, it is why other teams are calling up RP earlier.
