    Oh, that. Right, I forgot about that. Not worried in the least. Take the best player, offer him the money, and go from there.
  2. Mike Sixel
    what's his babip been? No idea if something is different or not, but I've always been a believer that he's under rated here.

    Borkins 12:11 BYRON. BUXTON. WHAT SAY YOU?!? Travis Sawchik 12:12 It was a rough week, for sure. 14Ks in 27PAs. Looked lost against breaking stuff 12:13 Again, it's early. But this is a continuation of troubling trends tied to pitch recognition and contact ... Erik 12:14 The Twins, Reds, and Diamondbacks all lead their divisions. Which of those do you at least sort of believe? Travis Sawchik 12:15 Diamondbacks. They are the most talented and were something of a sleeper team entering the year. There's talent and pedigree in the pitching staff, the outfield is healthy and the overall D should be better.

    How is it being a "dick" to get your client the best deal possible? No way I pass on the best player over a few hundred K. No way. They should take the best player on their board.

    Which saber people think in a vacuum? Which saber people say you should never bunt, based on context? What, exactly, is common sense?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think I'm on Green also. Just too much upside to pass on. If they think McKay is a two, and could hit like Mark Grace, I'd not kill them for that. If they think he's a three, I won't be happy. Not that we'll ever know.

    Fair on Sano. But Grossman and Santana played a lot when Rosario and Kepler weren't here, or when they were trying Sano (an experiment I somehow forgot). But, if I'm not mistaken, this was pretty much the OF once Buxton was promoted, and that was always the plan. I just don't see some great sea change here that you do.
  8. Mike Sixel
    What are you expecting? Do you think people should change what they thought the Twins were after 6 games?
  9. Mike Sixel
    To me, Kepler should be playing nearly every day. He's way too young to be in a platoon on a mediocre team.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Good luck Dalton. Hope your health is ok for a very long time!

    I'm going with 76 wins, give or take. I still think they are the same team I thought would win around 73-74. ESan is what I thought he'd be, as are Sano and Polanco. Everyone else is still getting their feet wet, as it were, imo. They could win that many, but I'd not bet on that side right now. Maybe in 2-3 weeks if this keeps up, I'll become a believer.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm, I'm not really sure what has changed about "committing" to OF defense. This is almost the same lineup they tried last year, the difference is Buxton is up. I think the meme is off here some, but whatever. As long as Buxton is in the majors, I don't think this is about "committing to defense", so much as playing the OF they expect to have, offense, defense, whatever. This was always the plan. It's been a great first week. I've always backed ESan's ability to pitch, and he's been very nice so far. Sano can hit, I don't doubt that either. Polanco can hit, I don't doubt that. Castro is a guy I was hoping they'd trade for 2-3 years ago, definitely liked that signing. Very nice start. It's more fun to win for sure.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Well, we were never really at war with Castro, and he never committed genocide.... I understand it is perfectly legal to kill hundreds or thousands of troops, and illegal to kill those that order them to fight, I also don't think that's right in certain cases.

    On to Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite authors. It was (is?) on sale in ebook form on most sites, and Google had a $3 coupon for it.....I have a feeling it will be too close to the myths, and not enough Gaiman, but we'll see....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Yesterday we were reminded to never give up, never surrender. That was an amazing show of mental strength. So much fun.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It's early. I fail to see how Ryan is the one that called for bunts last year, or thought pinch running for Sano with two outs was a good idea. For me, I'd like to see what happens during the year, not just 5 games, to see if he's changed. that seems reasonable to me.
  17. Mike Sixel
    KLAW has an insider article... Thinks McKay could start in the majors this year, but is probably not an ace. Thinks Greene comes with more risk, but huge upside. He wouldn't argue with either pick, but would take Greene.

    Mickelson with one of the worst putts I've ever seen a Pro make...almost putted it off the green into the water!
  19. Mike Sixel
    sigh. Just like the leadup to Iraq.....sigh.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I STINK at languages....would be a real challenge for me. My kids are fluent in Spanish, but I just struggle with it... welcome to the site.
  21. Mike Sixel
    how has the adjustment been? we talked about such a move, but it probably won't happen now that we bought my wife a business.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hard to tell if that's sincerity or sarcasm I see dripping off that post....
  23. Mike Sixel
    that would have been more believable had you typed dadgumit, btw.
  24. Mike Sixel
    you're going to kill me, sir...... at least you know who postmodern jukebox is...
  25. Mike Sixel
    understatement of the day..... "nothing wrong with 290 in the air".... Pulling for an epic Garcia/Mickelson battle (I'm old, I guess)...
