    In fairness, the bigger issue according to many on this site isn't expanding the zone, it is taking a FB down the middle of the zone on 2-0 counts with men in scoring position. That seems to be the issue most here have with him. He's not good compared to other 1B, that's a real issue for the competitiveness of this team.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Based on what?
  3. Mike Sixel
    The Yankees were fringe contenders last year, and sold. Very well, I might add....and now are even more set up for the future and near present.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Talk about SSS. Wow.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Excited for last night. It certainly was good. He has somehow been under rated here, as I have typed many times. Still not sure why, frankly.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Didn't Mike Fraser law predict this, based on April numbers, on this site? We should all be happy when Mauer is hitting.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Just landed in Minnesota. But there isn't anyone at Target field?

    Still waiting for RP promotions..

    Fangraphs had it's draft board up today.

    Fair, I thought it was clear I was talking terrorism broadly in part of that post. If we only are talking about this scourge, decades of work is needed, imo. It isn't just the terrorists educating people to believe certain things, it is entire nations (including our "friends" the Saudis) that don't lead to much peace.
  11. Mike Sixel
    except there are also economic terrorists, and there will be some other group eventually. Violence will always look like the right answer to a set of people. Now that it is easy to make weapons that kill a lot of people, I don't know how you totally stop it...

    the argument being made was that the farm system didn't have good players, while also arguing that we need to keep those players to build for the future. It wasn't about where the Twins were in teh rebuild. It wasn't about who they should trade for. That's a different discussion, completely. People here are saying both: the twins don't have much minor league talent the twins can't trade their prospects because they need those guys to be competitive. It is hard to see how both of those are true, to some of us.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Chief. You can't argue they have no prospects, and argue they shouldn't trade them because they need them for the future of the team. Either you think they are good and valuable, or the farm system won't be able to deliver enough players to make this team relevant any time soon.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Of course the Royals are paying for it now. That's part of the price of acquiring talent thru trade of prospects. Cleveland also made trades, so did the Cubs. I'd argue the Twins are still paying the price for not trading Aaron Hicks (and whatever else) for Cliff Lee......

    Not by killing innocent people in the Mid-East.....I know this answer sucks, but being fully engaged in the area, importing more of our culture of freedom there (w/o imposing it), and working hard to educate and inform the populace. In other words, decades of work. And, even then, there will always be terrorists. You can never eliminate them, never. You can only hope to decrease their proliferation and effectiveness.
  16. Mike Sixel
    You can't trade draft picks in baseball.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I still want more data. I don't think this team is going to win at this pace, but if they still are in another 30-50 games or so....then I would be willing to make some deals. Every pitcher in the minors is available, as far as I am concerned, depending on years of control on the guy are you are getting.. Really, only Gordon is one player I would not deal right now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Evil losers is a good description, frankly.

    I don't believe anyone has changed their mind on Greene at all. Why would they? I guess we just disagree on this. You either think Greene is a legit ACE and know what the risks are, and want to take him, or you don't. Pitching 2 more times for his HS team isn't going to change any opinions on his stuff.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Which has what to do with Greene? That's all on Wright.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Ahem. Someone posted it wasn't over......
  22. Mike Sixel
    How did shutting it down change anyone's mind on Greene? If anything changed, it was McKay and his drop as a pitcher, and Wright's continued dominance. How Greene not pitching changes anything is beyond me.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What happened to that Buxton that was hot? I liked that Buxton a lot. This game is not over.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Leave him in. Save all those bullpen arms.... disappointed.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If he's basing it on that, um, well, um.
