    It never ceases to amaze me how fans take the organization's side so often. Like the people in power are usually the good guys in a conflict...
  2. Mike Sixel
    I say he does what he did last year, rate wise. Counting wise? Adjust for 120 games. So, about the 18-20th best 1B in the league. As for Park staying, they got lucky no one claimed him, I guess. Because if they thought he was going to be here, they never would have cut* him. *or whatever fancy word MLB uses for what the transaction was.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I am hoping more like 4, but think you are probably correct.

    18 months is a fast track? Sigh, our standards here are so low...

    Sure looks like the everyday lineup vs LHP.....or on a day Castro needs a break. Does Tepesch have a shot at this roster? It's hard for me to understand why he'd still be pitching in parts of games that matter.
  6. Mike Sixel
    this. 100% this.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, assuming Breslow can actually pitch in regular games.

    Basically, as long as they are in the minors, you can keep arguing that giving up on them is not ok. Basically, I can never win this argument, no matter how many fail or don't make it, because there will always be more minor league RPs.

    If Rogers is a true LOOGY, yes. If he puts him out against decent or good RH? No.
  10. Mike Sixel
    wowsers.

    I have flip flopped on this in my mind.....yes, great perk, Yes, pulling them off the floor for 5 hours isn't a great idea. Plus, suites are pretty big, will they just have a dude and 2-3 others in them all the time? I can't decide how I feel about what casinos will do...

    IIRC, he's one of the guys that decided swing plane and elevating the ball was more valuable than hitting down on it, and that's why he changed, but that could be a lack of sleep thing causing me to imagine things.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I bet if we searched not that hard, we'd see that we were told "just wait, in 2016 you'll see these RPs up, and we can judge the strategy then". I assume some guys will get hurt again, and some will be blocked by mediocre veterans, and we'll be told to just wait until 2018.... Also, Wimmers was a SP, not a RP, when drafted. I'll acknowledge the wins when they actually occur for more than 1 year in the majors, that seems fair.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It can be the "right" choice, and still be disappointing. If they passed on him Benintendi due to other players in the majors, that would be bad. I do agree, he'd be in low A right now, maybe high A.
  15. Mike Sixel
    it's almost like you missed the point on purpose.....people here keep typing that prospects don't develop in the majors, that's what the minors are for. Maddon disagrees.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Funny, I don't think "fun" is the word I'd pick.... But, this is what you get, imo, when being not bad takes precedence over rebuilding, you get bad.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There is some discussion, and even a "ranking" of the "Andrew Miller" change in bullpens here: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-positional-power-rankings-bullpen-16-30/ don't go if you want to be happy about the Twins' bullpen....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Let's see what fast track means before we get all giddy.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Freedom to be white, straight, and a certain kind of Christian (while allowing the government to spy on you at will). That seems to be what "freedom" means to many of them.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Seth, while there may be some small shifts in who is used in the 7th or 8th, I don't think anyone has really changed bullpen usage all that much in the regular season.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Joe Maddon, who knows more than any of us, says that development has to continue at the MLB level, and that you shouldn't wait for perfection for pulling guys up. I'll go with him, on this. And no, it's not like your analogy at all.
  22. Mike Sixel
    sorry, in all the packing this weekend it didn't get done. but yes, I owe you that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Huh, Vegas is bigger than I thought, but that lack of corporate ticket buying could be a killer...
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well written for sure.
  25. Mike Sixel
    so, watch that one scene, then stop and spend my time with my guitar or a book?
