    Good luck to him!
  2. Mike Sixel
    Pick a different stat......and if he's worth more than 1, he's worth more than $8MM...... I hope, if they sign him, he teaches Buxton and Kepler how to care about winning.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Next year only? Because it is a 1 year deal, right? 1 WAR.....that's what he was last year....
  4. Mike Sixel
    We don't know, at all, if Park is good. No one does. I'd rather take a chance on Park or Vargas, than have a guy around for 1 year, who will then leave. Let's pretend that Napoli is some magician, that can help a team win 10 games as a leader: a: why is he not signed for YUGE dollars? b: what good does that do THIS TEAM for 1 year?
  5. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea...and if you think Hunter was the secret sauce, why did NO ONE sign him for the following year? I mean, if he can single handedly help a team win 10-20 games, that is worth, what, $80-100MM per year, right?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'd be happy if the Twins traded for the young OF, who might or might not be good.....but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.
  7. Mike Sixel
    And how would other stats catch this? The constant straw man attacks on WAR and those who use it are tiring. No one says it is perfect. No one says it is the only stat. No one says don't look at other things. No one says anything that is claimed over and over..... As for the "objectivity" claim above, we all know that errors are not objective, heck, balls and strikes aren't all that objective, but let's stay just on errors for now. Do people really think ERA is helpful, and is the perfect stat (hahaha) given that it is somehow objective, given how errors are given out (or not given out)?

    Cudddy spent, what, 2 weeks or 4 in the minors? Over what time frame? As for park and Vargas.....ok, fine, he replaces them for 1 year (blocking Sano and Mauer)....then what the next year?
  9. Mike Sixel
    so, um, don't post opinions on moves for 3 more months?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Uh, neither is being traded for a MLB player. They couldn't even make a 103 loss team last year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure they just aren't trying and don't care... Also, you know, you only get 25 roster spots, if one is used up to be a coach, you are now down to 24....also, he legit blocks Vargas and Park, and maybe Sano. What if Sano hurts his arm, for the third year in a row? Play with 24 players, effectively?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Well, it is a thread about the stock market, and my comment was about how ST trading reacted to the good news.....I uh, think that makes sense to comment on. YMMV, of course. I'm not suggesting anything, other than ST traders didn't find the news all that compelling.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The market is flat....so, not sure ST investors agree....is that a controversial post somehow?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I guess....but why not try Park or Vargas? What good does Napoli do this team, long term? I can't imagine needing a 1B/DH type at all.....I am mind boggled, actually....
  15. Mike Sixel
    we'll know by June/July, imo.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ugh....that would signal win now....ugh. Plus, where does Sano go if/when he can't field. This would make me decrease my faith.
  17. Mike Sixel
    All my stocks but 1 is down....
  18. Mike Sixel
    any idea what it is yet?
  19. Mike Sixel
    apparently ST traders don't agree!
  20. Mike Sixel
    You aren't the first to do it, and won't be the last......I just don't buy it. There have been people every generation that made that whole group be questioned by their parents and older people......we've never had the internet before to say it over and over (and to see such obvious examples). I could have said it nicer myself. Have a great day!
  21. Mike Sixel
    I like 0000 myself....
  22. Mike Sixel
    is this a real post?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Must feel this pretty strongly to post it twice well, had they kept Plouffe and not signed a catcher, how would you feel about the start? Me? I rather like these two moves. Given that, I guess I feel COMPELLED to say, strong start. YMMV, of course.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Pretty lame national days....but it is national computer security awareness day (or something like that). Go change all your passwords (and then, good luck getting in anywhere).
  25. Mike Sixel
    Well, you need 2 catchers for one thing. Also, a strong (if he is) defensive catcher helps your young pitchers out a lot. I don't see this as WIN NOW, but as....we need a catcher, we want a defensive catcher to help our young pitchers....here is one that isn't $100MM. I don't see this as indicating anything about Dozier or Santana at all. That's just a guess, and I don't do guesses much anymore about other people's motivations.
