    Agreed. Just don't follow people that frustrate you.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, no way I would have the patience for that task, appreciate your effort!

    The warm side of the pillow 1:18 Is Sano's soft hit % real? That seems impossible Travis Sawchik 1:18 Might have a thing about this later today/tomorrow!

    Scoop 1:11 Byron Buxton a top 50 player next year. Seems to be turning things around now, but do you believe he's still a year away? Travis Sawchik 1:11 With that defense and base-running he might just need to be league-average to be top 50

    Scoop 12:49 Think Berrios turned it around. His first MLB start this year was impressive. Travis Sawchik 12:50 I've always been a fan. He was great Saturday. Great three-pitch mix. Twins need need him to fit in mid to top of rotation

    I thought about this some, while driving to get my son from college this weekend....and I think it is mostly circumstance due to the schedule and rainouts. I think that, but don't know it.

    Follow up in the chat today: Hannah Hochevar 12:16 Like the Buxton piece. Seems like you can't do much better for longevity hitting advice than Molitor and Hunter. Travis Sawchik 12:17 Thanks, Hannah. Yeah, I think Buxton is surrounded by some good advisors. I think in the past he was listening to too many voices. But hopefully his May is indicative or a truly improved - and more relaxed - approach Did anyone catch his overall play in CF this weekend? He was incredible Kyle Boddy @drivelinebases Byron Buxton completing your everyday, typical F8. Play about 21 hours ago He seemingly did that every other inning 12:18 He already has a +5 DRS and 24.4 UZR/150 rating As good a CF as I remember seeing in a three-game stretch

    Same. Chrome on Windows.

    Gotta like the starts for Wade and Gordon for sure.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't usually back Molitor, but in his defense, the FO did bring in two RPs that age or older.....and he clearly trusts Kintzler.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I notice much difference yet. I'm still waiting for the active use of AAA to move RPs up and down. My perception is they've mostly just claimed bad players off other teams (either recently or in the off season), and have not used AAA like other teams are (yet).
  12. Mike Sixel
    I mean, I literally have no idea.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'd really like to know if these are typical or not, so if you have that data, I'd love to see it.
  14. Mike Sixel
    That is an issue of concern, for sure. But, as pointed out, this 1:1 pick should be in the top 20 of prospects (unless they go off the board), which will help.
  15. Mike Sixel
    This is really good. Lots of quotes from Rowson, Buxton, Molitor. Enjoy!

    I think that is unfair to the poster, this is a site to talk about baseball, not do hours of research on every post made. It seems reasonable, to me, to question their scouting, after the last 5-6 years of "success".
  18. Mike Sixel
    What is the value of your bet, now? Can you sell it and make money?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I thought it was a question, not an accusation. Do people think Parker, who is a HUGE Twins fan, would do this to "raise his profile"? As a great WR once said, "come on, man".
  20. Mike Sixel
    As I said in the other thread, whichever scout said "sign Kintzler" deserves some credit! He might not be elite, but he's good. Having 20 good, and 5 very good to great, players is how you win baseball games.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Or, they are at a different point in the rebuild, and the decisions are different. I don't know one way or the other, but this team is very different than those teams. Regardless of the causes, this team lacked talent for several years. They currently have quite a bit of hitting talent (and fielding), but are sorely lacking pitching talent. But saying that the team should have traded guys in the beginning of a rebuild, is very different than saying they should trade guys now (depending on where you think they are in the cycle).
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not having huge gaping holes of negative WAR is actually how the A's have stayed mostly above .500, even while not having many great (any?) players. So, if they can keep from having any bad players getting a lot of playing time, and have 2-3 very good to great players, they can compete. That's a model for regular season success. The issue the last few years was too many black holes.
  23. Mike Sixel
    No idea what the explanation is.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Why does Burdi need to be healthy for an extended time? He has options. Bring him up, or move him to AAA while healthy.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I live how everyone had any idea what this FO will do on promotions, given how few we have seen.
