    I'd like to see Wade in AA, but I agree, it might not work out that way to start the year.
  2. Mike Sixel
    He can also try to steal bases.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm not convinced that deciding between mediocre RPs is really a make or break decision for Falvine, frankly. Me? I'd prefer more young guys getting shots. Their arms getting healthier..... I would also prefer Hughes back in the bullpen, unless there is a miracle and he can throw hard as a starter. I think Nick has it right, prediction wise.
  4. Mike Sixel
    who, exactly, have they promoted too quickly that is a RP? And why do stupid teams like the Cardinals keep promoting young pitchers to be RPs?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Except Kepler did play some 1B in the minors, IIRC, and some here have predicted he's basically going to turn into Morneau and be the 1B some day. IMO, that depends more if they find other OFers than on Kepler.
  6. Mike Sixel
    $3MM a year is stopping them from signing someone?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Or you can use AAA as your bench more, and send RPs back and forth more.....one just has to try.

    Uh, wth were the Atlanta coaches doing passing the ball late in the game? run on 2nd down. run on 3rd down. Kick FG, go up by 11.....I blame them for being stupid.

    Are they also burning their CDs of all the artists that would not perform for him? What about all the actors, and other famous people? People are also boycotting Starbucks because IN ADDITION to hiring veterans, they plan to hire LEGAL immigrants. Should legal immigrants not be allowed to work? Should they be on welfare?

    biking, hiking, skiing, snow shoeing, .........

    Is this actually just a shrewd move to distract us from not trading Dozier?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Disagree. Dan San literally adds negative wins to the roster. We don't know that about Park yet.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I wish people would buy my books and burn them (if I had books)....that's just money in my pocket. Also, people really seem to struggle with this whole idea of free speech, democracy, and you know, participation in the process....
  14. Mike Sixel
    We need a lot more posts to reach Joe Benson levels, people....

    I think this was in this thread.... paul d.: Keith, getting an idea of college talent. Roughly, where would Kyle Wright rank on your Top 100? Thanks for all you do and the hard work! Klaw: The first overall pick in the draft usually lands between 10 and 20 on my list. Last year’s, Moniak, was lower because that draft class didn’t have a clear best prospect, and I didn’t have him at #1 on my board before the draft. Nick: Long term, do you prefer Jeren Kendall over guys like C. Ray or K. Lewis? How does he stack up vs recent OF draftees? Klaw: Definitely have him over Ray or Lewis now, or even comparing to those guys last January.

    sort of twins, totally twins, sort of twins.... paul d.: Keith, getting an idea of college talent. Roughly, where would Kyle Wright rank on your Top 100? Thanks for all you do and the hard work!

Last year’s, Moniak, was lower because that draft class didn’t have a clear best prospect, and I didn’t have him at #1 on my board before the draft. Dusty: What do you think about Twins SS prospect Wander Javier. Does he have a chance to be a star? Klaw: Think he’s a long, long way off. Less than even money he’s a shortstop for me. Swing was a mess when they signed him – power over hit for sure. Nick: Long term, do you prefer Jeren Kendall over guys like C. Ray or K. Lewis? How does he stack up vs recent OF draftees? Klaw: Definitely have him over Ray or Lewis now, or even comparing to those guys last January.

    So he's not the worst player.
  18. Mike Sixel
    We could have a politics sports bar, movies, books, etc. If we had, like, I don't know, 15-20 forums, it might be better.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Walker can't hit or field....his being DFAd multiple times by multiple teams should indicate that. They tried to trade Dozier because he is only signed for 2 more years, and they need more young players....and they ultimately kept him because there weren't offered enough. They DFAd Park, imo, because they don't believe someone will claim him.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Nope, meant it 100%. edit: ninjad above...

    There is a local coffee chain here....I want to support them, but their coffee is bad. Like, just not good at all.....hopefully when we move into the city in the next month or two, the local places will be better.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm quoting them to let people see what others are saying, and not at all saying if they have any authority at all. Just adding to the conversation, you'll note here and on the other thread, I post things I agree and disagree with. It's about the conversation, not being "right" or "wrong".
  23. Mike Sixel
    Hannah Hochevar 10:36 Would you put in a waiver claim on Park with 9.75 million still owed over 3 years? Jeff Sullivan 10:36 Depends who I am. I'd love him in Colorado HappyFunBall 10:37 Speaking of Nats and depth and old players ... Mike Rizzo should run, not walk, to snap up Byung Ho Park shouldn't he? Jeff Sullivan 10:37 Similar-ish to Zimmerman, in terms of promising EV numbers Erik 10:42 Why would a team go for Park rather than someone like Carter? Jeff Sullivan 10:42 Cheaper, and a more poorly-understood ceiling fwiw, Cameron tweeted that the WS don't even have a DH on the roster....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Seriously? Jeff has said repeatedly he doesn't want a FO job, because he likes his lifestyle. But, hey, judge away. Also, judging anyone on a chat reply? Odd....
  25. Mike Sixel
    great post....
