    I read all his stuff. A. You accused him of trying to sell stories, by not being honest. I don't believe that. B; I think reading 1-2 paragraphs doesn't give you the full glimpse into his thought process. I also think concluding that he doesn't like his stuff ignores his talk about velocity, age, raw ability, and athleticism completely. You chose the parts of his writing that backed your conclusion. You also are drawing a conclusion based on those sentences, as if those are all the thoughts he has on the 17 yo that throws upper 90s. Edited by glunn

    Or bad whiskey, frankly.

    Gimenez and DanSan. I feel bad for the team already.
  4. Mike Sixel
    You are stating he is not stating his honest opinion, but is trying to sell stories? Wow. That's. Wow. Pathetic claim to make with no evidence at all, frankly.

    A whole article on Sano: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/miguel-sanos-little-adjustment-could-mean-big-things/

    I watched it again on my tv last night. Sexy.

    You left off the part where KLAW would take him 1:1....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I fail to understand how working together and collaborating would undermine Molitor in any business other than sports....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Most under rated Twin ever?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Heh, I've been pushing this team to have only 2-3 starters for 3 years now, but no one is ready for that!
  11. Mike Sixel
    KLAW did say that Greene would be a top ten pick as a SS also....but no one is drafting him as a SS first.

    I'm curious to see if Duffey could be the Andrew Miller on this roster, clearly not that good, but that kind of role. That curve, I would think, could really work in short stints. Clearly, now that Jay is in the bullpen, and he has that slider, it could be him in a year or so....but for now? I'd like to see Duffey keep getting shots at the highest leverage moments.

    welcome to the site! Nice post.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. It's really about the young OF progressing, Sano being Sano, and finding a young pitcher or three (and winning around 75+ games). That would be great progress to me. And health among the minor leagues...

    I'm excited about Sano and Polanco and Castro and Dozier and the defense. I was merely asking how people knew the bullpen would be turned over. No place did I criticize anything, I was merely trying to understand the comment.

    a: not sure how we know anything about the new FO and their style yet. b: If Chargois is dominating, and the bullpen is about average, you think they'll just cut a guy? I don't know if any of them have options other than Duffey. c: Agreed, there could be an injury. d: If they only replace guys thah don't have a role, and guys with a role are "meh" or better, are they going to pitch? Are they going to "demote" a veteran to a lesser role? I just don't know how everyone can keep typing with such certainty: a: that they have any idea how the new FO will operate b: that the team can somehow be good, and the bullpen somehow is turned over

    He's not all that wise in mythology, just started Gaiman's new Norse Mythology book....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Truly a beautiful cast indeed. And, Thor should be more fun, with a less wise Thor, imo. I agree, the first movie was pretty good, the second was pretty meh. And yes, that clip was fun. I uh, didn't see a lot of giants though....

    If the pen is different, doesn't that imply that the pen wasn't good enough leading up to August, or that the team wasn't in the hunt, and RP were traded?

    Q-Ball 12:57 Small Sample Size be damned, what players have stood out to you so far, positive or negative? Travis Sawchik 12:59 Sano (good), Buxton (bad), Springer (good), Lindor with power? (Exit velo is up ... very goo), Bundy with a cutter (good) Erik 12:59 Byron Buxton has already cost his team 0.4 wins. (Yet they're somehow 5-1!) How much longer can he keep up these struggles before he gets sent down again? Does he still count as being rushed to the big leagues at this point? Travis Sawchik 12:59 It seems like Buxton has been jerked around a little bit in development. He's also making swing changes. But I'm not sure how much that explains his K issues
  21. Mike Sixel
    He's only 17. A lot of HS seniors will turn 19 this calendar year, if they aren't already. Is he physically better than other around him? Of course, that's why he might go 1:1. Is he more physically mature? Probably not significantly, compared to where he will be in 3-4 years.

    steve malkmus 12:35 miguel sano - time for him to come to life? How real is a 2017 season where he hits 40, 100r/100rbi, bats .265, OPS 1.000, and strikes out <200 times? Travis Sawchik 12:35 Sano was impressive in the first week. Had good at bats and the contact was very loud. He'll always strike out but I think he can post that line. It's like his 85th percentile
  23. Mike Sixel
    reverse like.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, if you start him as a starter, you need to give him some time to show one way or the other what he is.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmmm, those look almost the same, so it's probably not that....
