    It's national garlic day, what should I make for dinner?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Still think we are at least two weeks or an injury away from this happening....

    Long article on Dozier: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19188672/brian-dozier-sees-plan-every-puzzle

    a guy with a CEILING of a two, is a better choice than a "generational talent"? Because they think their development system is bad? I couldn't disagree more strongly. Now, if they somehow think McKay can be one of the best pitchers in the game, take him.....but no one thinks that.

    Well, we know with certainty that last sentence isn't actually true. Now, I agree, I would have sent him to AAA to be a starter. But, they didn't do that. IMO, jerking him around, back and forth, is a bad idea for him. Can they move him back to starter, if his change improves with time/work? Sure. But at some point, they need to make a decision.

    It's actually hard to believe this isn't in SI or the Strib.....great work

    It's been a GOP district forever. What, exactly, is Trump taking credit for? I see another loss for the dems. Someday they might win something.
  8. Mike Sixel
    when? he's not young, and going back and forth means you don't get to develop as a SP.

    There is some really good stuff here about how to best use RPs.....ignoring the snark (which I love) and if WPA or this are a better stat....lots of good stuff. This convinces me that Duffey should have the old time fireman role. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/goose-egg-new-save-stat-relief-pitchers/

    Near the end are some thoughts on Greene: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/daily-prospect-notes-419/

    Two inning reliever, as goose gossage used to be
  12. Mike Sixel
    Danny Santana, pinch hitter.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Don't worry, Danny will never play, they said...... Sigh
  14. Mike Sixel
    wow, that's rather glowing....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Of course, DanSan has shown no ability to do that for the last two years.... nor has Buxton...mostly Rosario has not either. Mauer is in decline, but this is ridiculous and he'll get better.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Best lineup yet, imo. As long as Dozier is your leadoff hitter, this is the lineup I like most, other than MAYBE flipping Joe and Jorge.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I want them to try Duffy in this role, very much. Probably also/or Haley.
  18. Mike Sixel
    sorry, clearly I'm just not "on" in this thread. It's me, not you.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think people are being overly semantic/picky. It is clear that an athlete needs to see the ball well, track the ball well, and anticipate where the ball will be.Whether you can track it all the way to the bat or not, who cares. It looks like he's having issues with his line of sight (among many others). But debating the meaning / precision of that statement is probably just not going with the spirit of many posts. IMO, of course.

    Arianza is, IIRC, out of options. If they try to send him down, he might get claimed. I'm guessing Breslow or Tonkin is gone, based on usage, with Palka called up. While it would be great if they had a RH OF in AAA that was ready, they don't. Palka could DH while Grossman plays the OF, when an OF needs a day off. He could also play the OF if needed. If Park was healthy and playing well, I'd guess he comes up. I'm not surprised no move has been made, unless there is an injury or utter horribleness, I don't think teams make many moves in April.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Sano has taken a beating this year?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Buxton is getting too much criticism? They are talking about him on every chat on FG, KLAW, and MLBTR. They are doing entire segments on him on ESPN and MLB. And we think we are being too critical here?
  23. Mike Sixel
    That's why I keep typing "appears"....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure most of our conversations "make a difference". That said, yes, I think this one is futile. He is what he is, and appears unwilling to adjust like others as they age.
  25. Mike Sixel
    As I posted earlier, this is my fear. And, the FO needs to fix this. Now. Pick 1-2 people, tell everyone else if they give him advice, it's bad for their career. Tell Buxton not to ask others. IMO, they need to simplify things for him.
