    I've been betting on Wright since he seemed to click again a couple weeks ago.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I totally missed what hte post was, that's on me, not you!

    ESPN has MN tied for 18th in terms of age. Pretty much median.....not "youngest".
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, he was good. He wasn't a HOF player.
  5. Mike Sixel
    And I've replied....every time....this FO added only older players. We are talking about this FO, and what this FO has done. This FO brought in Belisle, Breslow, Gimenez, Castro, and tried to sign a mid-30s DH. I can only judge this FO on their actions, not on what the previous regime did.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Quite. and "most feared hitter of his generation"
  7. Mike Sixel
    Lots of people here, maybe even you, typed that the bullpen would be totally different by May. Berrios should be here, IMO. Melo should be in AAA now. Burdi should be in AAA now. The lineups are more consistently challenging there than AA. And, my post was clearly also about their pursuit of OLD free agents, not just about who got called up or not. Based purely on their actions, not their talk, it sure looks like they prefer older veterans than young players.
  8. Mike Sixel
    As in "proven he's really a bad MLB player?" Agreed.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I see no evidence this FO wants to give the youth a chance, unless that youth was already on the roster. They signed OLD free agents, and tried to sign more. So far, I'm disappointed in their actual actions.

    They paid less for a good, not great, NFL ready QB, than teams paid for guys that most feel are less than good, and not ready. They were/are built to win now. What, exactly, was an overpay?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm with you. We are the only nation that has college sports like this. They need to go.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Except when they went to the academy, the rule was that they could get a deferral. Now he is changing the rules in the middle of the game. Is that fair? Everyone knew the rules, some athletes get a deferral. Those were the rules.

    Developing him as a two way player basically means you are taking everything you do for other pitchers (how their off days work), and throwing it out the window. What are the odds he becomes a good pitcher if you develop him completely differently than you think is right for pitchers?
  14. Mike Sixel
    By rbi and reputation...hence Jim rice.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    In addition to the yahoo article she posted? I can't believe you are still riding this train, that she is excusing this at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Could be partially driven by a 99% LOB rate for one of them.....which seems possibly, maybe, unsustainable.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That would be disappointing to me.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Santana has a 99% LOB rate! That seems unsustainable. this has been your not fun with stats update....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Isn't this true of all college sports? That they have nothing much to do with the mission statement of HS and college and university? The world just isn't black and white, it just isn't. If a potential officer wants to be a doctor, you want them out? What about in IT long term, you want them out? The world is not some yes/no win/lose place.
  20. Mike Sixel
    i'd like to think I would. Would I do so if they said one slur? Two? If they were big and drunk and angry looking? But, anyone that thinks they know what they'd do in every social situation that potentially involves violence is lying to themselves.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Or Robbie Grossman?
  22. Mike Sixel
    "dat der" would have been more believable....
  23. Mike Sixel
    over Trout and Lindor? Hands down?
  24. Mike Sixel
    that was what KLAW typed on twitter, also, I think.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I, uh, replied on FB. It is amazing, but, um, not sure how I feel about it for some reason.
