    i would hope no one made decisions based on spring training results as a primary point of information, other than velocity...
  2. Mike Sixel
    My guess is that would be how the mgr would use him, if needed, yes.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Discounting is =/= to giving up, imo. I think any player that isn't "on the verge" at least, by 26 could be questioned in terms of how LIKELY they are to be a good MLB player. The league is getting younger (for whatever reason), and if you aren't in the majors by 26, most teams aren't betting you are a MLB player. Otherwise we'd see more of those guys in AAA, and more of those guys get claimed and promoted.

    anyone making a decision based on that sample size, probably should not be a manager, IMO, of course. Even then....DanSan over Kepler? That's the "good" option?
  5. Mike Sixel
    tough call, because I'd prefer Kepler not have health issues over preferring Molitor was somehow getting better at managing.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Would not make it the right decision....anymore than getting home safely while driving drunk would.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Get him to AAA!

    Except WW, they got her right.* *Actually, I have no idea what she's really like in the comics, but I thought that character was good in the movie.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not according to Maddon, who says the majors are still about learning to be a MLB player, and growing, and that we do more development in the majors than we used to. and, if that is the only job, the best teachers (and highest paid) should be in the minors, not majors.

    Smell the Glover 12:26 What to make of Berrios maybe (but probably not) coming up in the near future? He's obvious not as bad as his major league numbers late last year, but seen anything to suggest he's made the appropriate change(s)? Eno Sarris 12:26 I've seen some mechanical changes. I think it's possible he unlocks it this year, and in some leagues, he's the best upside pickup on the wire. And Gibson about to pitch his way out of the rotation.

    One of the many reasons Dune has failed so many times.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    that was the theory of the board, yes.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Never read it......but trying to make a movie the same as a book is always a bad idea. It's just, the changes need to make sense...
  14. Mike Sixel
    Gibson is not getting yanked, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, not matter how good he becomes, it was clearly good scouting.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Stating that the criticism is "without question unreasonable" is pretty much saying we can't question the FO on this topic. Who gets to choose what we can criticize them on? He's actually had 35 starts in AAA, not one month.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Then I misunderstood it, because that's how I read it. If only we could assume positive intent, and not some kind of ulterior motive from our fellow posters....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Grossman should DH and play the occasional OF, imo.
  19. Mike Sixel
    You sir, are dreaming. DanSan is here as long as Molitor is here and has any power left.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm arguing that the culture should change, and that no one should think throwing a baseball at someone on purpose is a good idea. I'm not sure what I've stated about when someone does hit someone. I would say that if you throw behind a player, you should be thrown out. either it was on purpose, or you are so bad (hahahahahaha) that you might hurt someone by accident.
  21. Mike Sixel
    thankfully, DanSan is in the OF though......with the most hittable of SPs out there on the mound. remember, DanSan won't play much, there's nothing to worry about him being on the roster....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Kepler sitting today against a RHP, with two lefties coming up as opponents.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Unless Kepler is hurt, this is plain bad managing.
  24. Mike Sixel
    so, the rules are different in different games? Another problem with this stuff, it creates situations like this.
  25. Mike Sixel
    August? Why would we wait until August to call up Burdi or Melo?
