    They can be pissed, but it was clearly an accident. Not sure how throwing at Sano will a: stop someone from not doing something they didn't do; b: make it so Haley has enough control to not do it again.

    Plus, there is just a lot less data / film on amateur baseball players. I don't fear the fast risers as much in baseball.

    I literally stopped actually watching on tv because of it....I could not stand the uneven playing field. It's also why I gave up on the NBA.
  4. Mike Sixel
    There being a lot of great 2B does not make his season last year not AS in the context of the game.
  5. Mike Sixel
    so you are in favor of strike zones that are vastly different for different players, and having an uneven playing field? That's more fun?
  6. Mike Sixel
    So, you are accusing BA, KLAW and others of lying to sell what, exactly? Are people buying more of their services because they rate Greene highly? Wouldn't lying and being wrong make your services worth less?
  7. Mike Sixel
    So, ignore KLAW or Longenhorn? Ignore BA. Who should we listen to? You base this on your personal scouting of HS and college players?

    I don't mind "close" calls going one way or the other randomly or thru the players actions in the moment. I mind Tom Glavine strike zones. Or hitters who "earn" a tighter zone. Or umps holding a grudge, or just being inconsistent in a game, or being bad at the zone.
  9. Mike Sixel
    how does each player playing by the same rules sterilize the game? is it a fair competition if players "earn" a different strike zone? To me, it's about the players.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'm very conflicted on this. While I think they need to be playing for the future this year, if you have a chance to win a game, I think you have to PH for him. And yes, that seems contradictory, but I don't think it is. You give him a chance to play, but you are also honoring the other players in game. PH Vargas (or Kepler) for him is also about the future.

    I was thinking more the movie than the undead....
  12. Mike Sixel
    And it isn't sustainable to be that good, last year the TOP player had around half.....for /150. And, a lot of people here are super down on the defensive metrics, so I am assuming they think Buxton is worth less than this....
  13. Mike Sixel
    How anyone can not want this on their team amazes me.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'll ask again, isn't he better than many 1B and DH types also? 20+Hr and 20 SB and good defense? That's an all star level player......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Mid-June, imo. He'll have been given 200 ABs or so, by then. That's enough consistent chances to see if he needs to go down. The real question is, what do his approach/results need to look like to stay?
  16. Mike Sixel
    While I generally agree, do you think they will sign a better FA?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Danny Santana, Revenant

    I think most of us really like having Brian Dozier on the roster. I think some of us realize they don't have any SP they can rely on past next year, none. I do believe Berrios will be reliable, but I don't know it. I think some of us think that between Polacno, Gordon and Vielma, they have the MI covered for several years, even w/o Dozier. Therefore, some of us think Dozier should be traded. If they can't get value for Dozier, then, imo, you have to consider trading one of the others. But, minor league for minor league trades pretty much NEVER happen. So, that leaves Polanco.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd say that any fan that expected a good season this year was setting themselves up for disappointment. This is a mid70s win team, that needs to see what players are good or not. Frankly, I wish they'd actually commit to rebuilding, but that does not seem to be the path.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It hurt my eyes to look at any of those numbers.
  21. Mike Sixel
    We'll disagree on Berrios' upside, I think.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That's pretty generic. I said if you can't trade Dozier, that you need to consider trading Polanco to get pitching. That's how the discussion started. As for your comment on the trade not happening, of course there is no guarantee. There is no guarantee in any of this, but if you don't act out of fear, not sure how they plan to get better. Which internal guys you betting are a 3 or better, in the next 4 years or so? Which big time FA do you expect the Twins to buy, given their 50+ years of history?
  23. Mike Sixel
    How would you acquire even 1 SP for the future if you won't trade Dozier?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that exactly what teams do, when they do or do not trade for players, make assumptions about who will play how? I agree, we don't know what will happen, but what do you EXPECT to happen? A good to great 2B gets hurt, on a contender, and they are willing to pay MORE than the Dodgers were, for half a year less control? Or, the Twins just decide to keep Dozier around?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Since teams were not willing to consider him a DH or 1B, and no 2B has been hurt, and Dozier hasn't been as good as last year when apparently NO TEAM WANTED HIM, how is he making it easy to trade him? He has to actually somehow be even better than last year, right? Or, they have to accept less than a top 20 SP prospect and 1 other player.....
