    I would endorse this, 100%.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Even if it didn't help a lot, people would perceive it as less wasteful and better, that's actually more important than whatever really happens or not....

    Well, uh, if you can't pitch from the mound, that's probably not ideal if your job is to, you know, pitch from the mound..... edit: help me out....if he was expected to throw from the mound, but now can't, how is that not a setback? alternativesetback? 2nd edit: someday I'm going to edit a post after someone has liked it, and then call that person a doodoo head....

    Very mature reply. Uh, none are. That money could do a lot of good....

    Does the old fashioned scout watch every play by every player, so he can do a comparison? Which one, really, is likely to have seen more plays, to do more comparisons?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'd DL him when they next try to add someone to the 40 man, I think that opens a spot, correct?
  7. Mike Sixel
    More likely that Mauer hits 30 bombs this year....

    I wish it was a super wealthy Mexican, moving them to Mexico City. The stuff that would create!

    I'm ok with this at low levels, where you are playing for development, might not have many pitchers (and certainly can't call them "up" from the minors). Not so much in the majors, though. Not at all.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I guess. you know, I was trying to praise the FO here, right?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I read from my RW friends all the time how the US is falling behind....what they never acknowledge, even when hit over the head with facts, is that is more about other nations deciding, at their national level, to invest in education and fix their @#$^@&^pile of a system. In other words, some things are best done by government, on a large scale, with an actual strategy of doing better for the people....so, I don't agree. We need a national strategy and implementation of education.

    don't they have a new stadium? I mean, it is all of 5 years old..... the tv deal? Maybe, but who is going to sit inside in FL and watch tv, when you can be at the beach/pool/bar?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Can I choose neither? Is that an option, Brock?
  14. Mike Sixel
    do you think he said he'd rather have Park and Alonso, and nothing else in those responses? He was responding to an entire theme, just before that he talked about the A's not signing him....that was the context of the first response. Gotta look at context..... would you rather have Alonso, or Park. He prefers Park, even with the slow bat speed.

    the mentorship only lasts one year. Then it goes away, like amnesia.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Every at bat by one of these guys in ST is one Vargas, Palka, Park do not get.......
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't care, but I hope for all of you that do, that they win it all this year. Would be nice for a lot of my friends....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Alvarez can play 3B like DanSan can play SS. He can stand there.....and he can be really, really, really bad at doing it. Clearly, Vargas doesn't need mentoring, since he'll be in AAA.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think if you added playoff games, and gave some of that money to teams that lose revenue, you could probably cut the number of games, probably. but then, I think EVERY team should make the playoffs, in a very, very, different format than we have today.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I agree, though I don't agree "he played on winning teams, ergo he is a winner and can teach it" to be true....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious, which young players need a veteran? the backup catcher will have Castro. The pitchers will have Santana and Gibson and Hughes. Dozier and Mauer and Escobar shouldn't need mentoring. That leaves the 3 OF, the SS, and the 3B. Mauer, Dozier, Esco, Castro can't each take 1 guy, and share the 4th? IMO, they need a veteran OF to talk about positioning, cut offs, all that kind of stuff, not another DH....
  22. Mike Sixel
    SSS, but I bet you are right. That said, more than a few are surprised he went unclaimed.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Nicely done!
  24. Mike Sixel
    tweet from eno sarris: surprises me. Thought White Sox or A's would claim him. tweet from Dave Cameron: The Twins obviously had a better read on his market than I did. Still find it silly that a team like the White Sox didn't take him.
  25. Mike Sixel
    smaller tv deal, by a lot. lower attendance, by a lot. market size is a proxy for revenue, but the real test is revenue.
