    Well, a slick fielding (is he?) SS would be a nice addition to the bench, especially if he can play some 3B occasionally. No comment on DanSan....sigh.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I think Santiago is a lock also.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Thanks Brock!

    did it on the punts also. It was just odd, frankly.

    Rumor has it either a college or HS guy did that a few years ago, can't recall who it was.... edit: wasn't a probable number 1, but it was a top pick, like top 5....I'll see if I can find it.

    If only I had access to that channel....

    apparently it's all Buxton today! Matt 1:16 Hypothetically, let's say I have Byron Buxton on my fantasy team, and I live down the street from Byron's - a great Italian beef spot in Chicago. Which Byron provides more value to me in 2017? Travis Sawchik 1:16 Can't go wrong but you can enjoy a mild Byron Buxton breakout while enjoying great Italian beef. Win-win Frank 1:30 Which surprise player in both the NL an AL would you pick to lead each league in HR's this season? My picks are Miguel Sano in the AL and Joc Pederson in the NL. Post hype sleeper alert!! Travis Sawchik 1:30 Sano could do it with 600 at bats

    I am all over Greene also, though if one of the college pitchers really takes over, that would be cool too. Kendall would have to seriously improve his contact skills for me. Also, since the Twins are unlikely to ever outbid someone for an ACE, I'm more for the ace. Kendall or another hitter would have to really stand out like Harper or Bryant.

    Curtis 12:55 Who will be the most surprising 20+ HR guy of 2017? Travis Sawchik 12:56 Hmmmm. Jose Ramirez? GB/FB trending the right way and some of those 46 doubles will turn into homers, perhaps. Does Buxton count?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Tim 12:48 Do you think Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano will be better next year? Travis Sawchik 12:48 Yes and Yes
  11. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but they didn't need more yards, they just needed to run time (or burn NE timouts) and kick a FG....... Nothing against NE, truly one of the great QBs and coaches of all time.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Well, it has come close to running it's course, with the current characters, sort of. Not too ominous, I'm just too cheap to pay now, and it will be free on Amazon in a few months.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    George is Curious 12:09 Does Buxton finally have his breakout season in 2017? Travis Sawchik 12:10 Mild breakout? I expect him to have his best year and establish himself as a regular. He's too talented not to

    Hammel is now a Royal....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Haven't watched the latest season yet.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Still haven't finished that one. I enjoy it, but it doesn't compel me to watch it for some reason.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Kendall has serious contact issues from what I read.
  18. Mike Sixel
    so much for your geek card.....but ya, I really mostly watched all the way thru that last season out of a sense of hope and obligation, more than pure enjoyment. Vikings is so much better....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Can you be a 5 tool prospect, if you can't make consistent contact?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Clearly this didn't happen fall of 2016.....but we just finished season 9 of Dr. Who. Worst. Story. Arc. Evar. He'd to all that for Clara, but not River? Seriously? Plus, most of the episodes were pretty meh, at best. Partly I think I don't love this iteration of the Dr, partly I just think they got off track in terms of good stories.

    And, if you need a long reliever a lot, just have 2 that you send back and forth to AAA. Games they pitch in are likely to be losses anyway, it could literally be anyone from AAA that does that role if it is needed all the time....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I recall times last year, IIRC, where guys were pulled after 50 or 60 pitches. And yes, pitches matter, agreed.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If Chargois isn't on the roster, are they just punting on using any young RPs? That would make no sense to me at all. In fact, it would greatly disappoint me.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Did you say ground ball tendencies? That's good, with Sano and Polanco out there?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Just let guys pitch more than 5 innings, if they suck. Once you give up 6 runs, what is another 2-3? I know, no one does that....and I am not totally serious....but I am mostly serious. Just leave Berrios out there, to recover, or to save the bullpen if he gives up 6 runs in 3 innings. I'm not sure I agree with a truism that you need guys to pitch 200 innings for a team not to blow thru all their RPs all the time.....15 pitchers did that in all of the majors last year. 15. Admittedly, 31 threw 190+, but that's still 1 per team...1. Does every other team blow thru their bullpen every year? 46 threw 180 or more innings, 1.5 per team, btw. So, why would one need a 200 inning pitcher for a bullpen not to be blown thru?
