    Burdi should be in AAA now. He's too good for AA hitters. But then, I think guys should be at a level that challenges them, and this organization (nearly all of whom are still here) has never really operated that way.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Fair. And, I've been open to re-thinking my position, based on the list of pitchers supplied above. I know that if he was a FA, and my team sucked, I would be thrilled to carry him on the 25 man roster for a year as a RP. Thrilled.

    the internets, dude, the internets....
  4. Mike Sixel
    so, next year when the world ends, I'm good to complain?

    It was a joke....someone said "hit the pine", given that when he is AB, he just stands there for 2/3 of the AB.....n/m, if you have to explain a joke, it isn't funny....
  6. Mike Sixel
    encouraging!
  7. Mike Sixel
    some awesome auto corrects in there.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    so you want him to just stand there, and look at the bench for 2/3 of the game?

    Loved that pizza, when the dough was not under cooked

    Quietest joooooonnnnnrrrrrrooooonnnnn ever. I approve, as if that matters

    I'll commit right now to not saying they were idiots if they pick Greene, McKay, or Wright and let them pitch. I might say they were wrong, and maybe the need some new scouts (assuming they are the same scouts that have been picking pitching here for years)......but I think all three of those are justifiable picks, if they think they are legit #1 pitcher types.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Perhaps, but I'm not such an employee, and can only go off what we know/read/hear.
  13. Mike Sixel
    if you can get a random ball player for a guy you were going to cut, you won. Doesn't mean the other team lost, btw......
  14. Mike Sixel
    You realize almost no one hits .280 anymore, right?
  15. Mike Sixel
    I guess you could look for evidence that's the best way.....but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work to me.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Nope. There is a reason pitchers pitch on their off days, and chart pitches on their off days, and rest on their off days. I'd guess the cycle is nearly identical (within an org) for each pitcher. It's not random that they have these cycles, teams believe that this works for their players. Disrupting that by adding more batting practice, base running, fielding, etc....that's a disruption to a routine that MiLB and MLB have in place.
  17. Mike Sixel
    clipped for space.... Good stuff. You may be right. I'll still bet on the side of them putting him on the 40 man.

    Nick 1:07 I've seen lots of talk about Hunter Greene's secondary pitches lately. Are they any better or worse than those of other recent prep RHP like Kolek & Pint? Eric A Longenhagen 1:08 Both Kolek and Pint had better primary breaking balls than Greene does but they can't touch Greene's command projection. Anthony 1:09 Your choice only (not necessarily industry consensus): do you take Wright or McKay if you want a college pitcher? Eric A Longenhagen 1:10 I've been stewing over this in my quietest moments for the last three days. I still don't know. I love McKay's command, think Wright has better stuff.
  19. Mike Sixel
    At some point, you just admit that some pitchers have some kind of something that makes their stuff more effective than it should be. I'd say 3-4 years is a pretty good sample size.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Good article. I'd still trade something for him, if it's cheap.
  21. Mike Sixel
    That's certainly possible, do you want to be the coach that completely changes the routine of the 1:1 pick, compared to how you've prepared every other pitcher in your career as a coach?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Oops, sure, that's why I should have looked up the name!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Lilith 12:31 Where would you rank Greene and McKay on the top 100? Eric A Longenhagen 12:32 Polishing up the draft board this week and those guys are hovering at 55/60 FVs right now. 12:33 So, 60s would be top 20 in baseball at the moment and the 55s range from like 20-70
  24. Mike Sixel
    Paul 12:08 Could Kyle Wright go in the top two, or is he still behind McKay and Greene? Eric A Longenhagen 12:09 I think there's an argument for it. If you don't like either of Greene's breaking balls or prefer Wright's 92-95 to McKay's 90-93, I think that's reasonable.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Have you been to Alenia? Regret I never made it there (yet).
