    Are you actually Danny Santana?
  2. Mike Sixel
    That was funny. Very glad I was on mute on this call!

    I do agree that there is some middle ground that is more realistic. The only actual research on manager effectiveness is based on RP usage, including warming them up (though that data is VERY HARD to collect). It is clear that getting RPs up and down a lot is very bad for them. So, you'd have to be very well planned out to be more flexible....and have lots of guys you can send to AAA and back to get them some rest.

    Heat getting to you already?

    Under, assuming he plays more than 10 games. Under.

    Life is filled with choices, Chi.......

    What do you think? If a player win is worth 8 million a year or so....why wouldn't a manager win be worth that? Do you really think great managers are worth 10 more wins than the average manager?

    Apropos of nothing, today is inter-national happiness day. Let's try to be happy, people!

    He's not the leader of the free world, we ceded that position when we elected him to POTUS. I'd say the position has no person in it right now. Why? Because I don't think that Europe and Asia are following the US's lead right now, that's why. But, there is no country large enough to take that leadership. If the UK was not leaving Europe (again), maybe Merkel would be that person.

    All of it. Players with less than 3 years experience: Sano, Buxton, Rosario, Kepler, Polanco (sort of), Grossman, Chargois (maybe), Haley, Berrios (maybe). Did I miss someone? * 16 veterans for 9 players with less than 3 years experience....that seems like plenty of leaders per "youth". *odds are, I did.....OTOH, it is possible that Berrios and Chargois don't make the opening day roster, though I am pretty sure Chargois will.

    Lots of experts felt Jay had the stuff to be a legit MLB starter. He's not like most RP from college, imo. I'll cut them some slack for thinking he could maybe become a starter. That said, it seems early in the process to make this change. Also, if he does become one of the best RPs in MLB, that would be great. But to say that's his floor is, imo, premature.

    When you say Santana can hit a little, and play adequate defense, what do you mean? Because by statistical measures, he's one of the five worst players in MLB the last 2 years. So, I'm genuinely curious what those two statements mean. who is Gimenez mentoring or leading? Certainly not a catcher, and probably not any young pitchers (as Berrios and Chargois are your only real young guys, since Haley is only making the roster because he is a rule 5 pick, not based on what he's shown at all). I'd think Castro and Santana are enough leadership for the SPs, with plenty of veteran RPs to mentor your 1-2 young players. I hope you are right on Berrios. If their best pitching coach is in the majors, I'd want him there.

    The FLOOR of a player that has barely pitched in AA is a great bullpen piece? I don't think so. edit: of a player that has been injured so much he had to be shut down?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Mike Trout, sucks as a leader, clearly part of the problem in CA....
  16. Mike Sixel
    So now we make a decision on 7 year deals after 1 year? So, if the players had been great for 1 year, the deals would have been good deals?
  17. Mike Sixel
    When would some of you fret?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Just more reliance on old guys. And we are to believe Jay is being fast tracked?
  19. Mike Sixel
    A front office that looks to have zero rookies make a roster from a100 loss team, is now too fast track guys? Based on what evidence from their actions?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Terrible return for that pick. And the scouts and guys making the picks are still here, right?
  21. Mike Sixel
    More veterans than youth... Which pitchers are being mentored?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Just another guy in AAA showing why they don't need five veteran starters in Minnesota.....i hope he gets to pitch in Minnesota some late this year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Finally finished the ocean at the end of the Lane.... As usual, Gaiman is a genius.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Fair, that is my hope right now. Not sure that helps enough to turn the state governments on a better course.... edit: also, the House isn't stupid. Real changes to health care and budgets will not take effect until December of 2018 or January of 2019, after the mid terms.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    progress is good. Let's all hope he is good this year.
