    Nope, it's about letting young players learn and develop in teh majors, committing to a rebuild. something this team has refused to do.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I gotta admit, I read it the same way. As for your response to him, they have 3 good pitchers in AAA, if Meija, Berrios, and Duffey all start there. They can have any number of mediocre veterans there too. But, they literally, if Brandon is correct, have zero young starting pitchers in the majors. There is no need to limit the innings on any of these guys at this point. There is, imo, need to get them to the majors and see what they can do, and also for them to learn in down years, not years they expect to be great.
  3. Mike Sixel
    What young pitchers are you referring to? Because all I see in Brandon's list, SP and RP, is veterans. Not one young pitcher.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Beat me to it.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I also want to say think you, Seth.
  6. Mike Sixel
    He would be in my universe. But lots of things would be different. Like pie and beer not being fattening...
  7. Mike Sixel
    that looks like a legit day 1 lineup. thanks for the thread, way too serious here today. Did everyone eat pie yesterday?

    Seriously considering tracking my ads on various sites now. I am kind of fascinated. Now getting Harry's razors ads. Is there any way that is related to getting an email from dollar shave that my order shipped?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Since I commented, I am now getting ads for Dick's sporting goods and single women over 40....and women's clothing.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't watch either channel....but given the reaction I am reading, not sure what MSNBC was trying to accomplish.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what this means. They have not at any time in this rebuild committed to a rebuild, and playing youth, so that a year or two later they are good. so, no. I am arguing to commit to a rebuild, go with youth, give them a full year or more to learn and adjust. The exact opposite of what they've been doing the last 6 years.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why? Why not Duffey or Meija, if not Berrios? This is a rebuilding team, take your lumps like other rebuilding teams, and gather data (and help them adjust) on the young guys.
  13. Mike Sixel
    All of it. Were you not listening to Falvine? It was all about veterans and leadership this off season. All of it.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Excellent post.

    This was a follow up to questions about comparing players to all time greats, and why it's a bad idea. Also to "there aren't many good young 1B right now"... Richie 12:56 Miggy wasn't a 'good young first baseman' either. A couple of young, good-hitting outfielders/third basemen/catchers etc. will find themselves starring at first in due time. Dave Cameron 12:57 Sure, but there aren't really many great young hitters who also suck at fielding right now. Sano is probably the closest, but his K% makes it unlikely he ever turns into Miggy. Maybe Stanton ends up at 1B if his knees keep hurting. Schwarber I guess fits.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Or, looks like they just signed Newman.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Also, Kepler can play 1B if needed for some reason.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Buxton has to be on base for this to work....
  19. Mike Sixel
    9:13 Chip: Is Byron Buxton the September guy, or 1st half guy? 9:13 Paul Swydan: Hoping for September guy. 9:14 Jeff Zimmerman: Somewhere in between I think. I can’t a good feel on him
  20. Mike Sixel
    Claiborne had maybe his best year last year. But, I haven't read boo about him looking anywhere at all. I think Shields is done. Not sure about the others. You need 5 CBs, they have lost 2 of their starters from last year, and people don't seem all that concerned on the one site I go to. They can be a bit pollyanna...

    How can we ever possibly fix this nation's racism (and other isms) with stuff like this? 57 percent Share of Republicans who do not believe gay and lesbian people face a lot of discrimination in the U.S. Interestingly, more Republicans believed that Christians — who make up more than 70 percent of the population — face a lot of discrimination than believed that gays and lesbians, black Americans, immigrants and Muslims do. [Public Religion Research Institute] (from fivethirtyeight)

    Looks like they are losing Newman also. This D could get bad really fast if Alexander and Waynes aren't really good.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, they have 15-40 prospects ranked for every single team. He's 21 and already missed two full seasons with injury. You don't think there is some increased risk there?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Molitor! Outside the box thinker for sure....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Only $3.75MM, could make $5MM. They needed a back up DL. No idea if this is the right one or not.
