    Technically June, but in rounding, July. We were both right.
  2. Mike Sixel
    so, is Grossman platooning with Kepler now, and Rosario will start vs lefties?
  3. Mike Sixel
    All of them.
  4. Mike Sixel
    you asked why you'd sign him to an extension if you were the Twins.......I'm not opining on anything about Dozier.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Like Tepesch only getting 1 start, then being sent back down?
  6. Mike Sixel
    It's two years later, I have no idea what his process is now. Players do change.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Well, he could sign with someone else.....there is that risk.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Be 28/29, never have been a good prospect, and come from outside the organization. This is the same FO that wanted a 35 yo DH, rather than Vargas or Park (that signing was before any injuries or WBC). Their actions are pretty clear.
  9. Mike Sixel
    given his service time last year? I would be surprised if it was June. but, hey, what's 6-8 more starts to the Twins, when you have Tepesch and Wilk, right?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Do people still think this team is interested in winning THIS YEAR, given these last few promotions?
  11. Mike Sixel
    July or August....for a pitcher? I hope you are wrong.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd certainly be wondering if this FO has any idea what they are doing, or any interest in winning while I am an employee...
  13. Mike Sixel
    At what point do we get to start judging the FO and their awesome pitching acumen?
  14. Mike Sixel
    You mean like Eric Thames or Barry Bonds (and others)? Maybe he's doing what they did/do, and not swinging at pitches he doesn't want to swing at* *yes, that is a preposterous comparison, but I'm not talking outcomes, but process..... **note, I said "maybe".
  15. Mike Sixel
    Tough choice for sure.....I was sure Johnny Manziel would mature, so wt* do I know....

    On Fangraphs, good article on communication. And analytics. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/chris-gimenez-on-non-sugar-coated-communication-and-analytics/

    Unfortunately, we were not. The trip was great, I think 3 weeks are really needed, though. We also didn't make the Nazca lines. We spent zero time in Lima, other than flying in and out of the country.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Wasn't that SSS, or was it over years? If over years, then I stand corrected, I guess..... Frankly, I want him not sitting, since he's young. I'd prefer they not start platooning 23 yos....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I just want Kepler, if he has to sit, to do so against LHP......that seems obvious, but apparently it isn't.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Not one of my favorites.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    They don't? I would.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Quite true, unfortunately.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Frankly, for their sake, I hope they both get PAID. I don't care about the Pohlads having more money. The only reason I want an extension is so they get PAID, and the team has them around longer. But I want them to get their fair money.

    For a few months now, I've been considering being super active in 1 of my retirement accounts. Betting, say, 50K on one stock the day before an earnings announcement, then selling it the next day, and re-diversifying. Had I done that, I'd have quite a bit more money right now. So far, I've been right 4 of 5 times I've thought about it. And, since there are no tax consequences.....but, then I recall that no one can really do this and win in the long run. So, I don't. But I feel a bit emboldened right now.... talk me out of being stupid.

    Btw, I love that you posted this. I'm sure at times TD feels like hostile territory to conservatives. I wish we could have more constructive conversations here...
