    That wasn't what I was arguing....not even close. I was arguing that if your reason for not having him here is that he would sit and not play, that is probably the case the following year also. Heck, I even said that.....unless you trade Rosario, Granite is probably always a 4th OF. so, if your argument is don't call him up because he's a 4th OF, well, I don't think that argument can ever be overcome. Not sure your point.

    not only that, but why wasn't this done at the beginning of the year? Is Allen not in charge of how pitchers are taught in the system? I'd think that's how I'd set it up. This the THE pitching coach. He says what our strategy is across the org. Everyone else align to that strategy. If it isn't set up that way, uh, why not?
  3. Mike Sixel
    He never said that, not once. Nice strawman though. edit: to be clear....I don't agree that we can tell anything from watching tv....so I don't agree with his argument.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Couldn't disagree more. Rigid roles is a thing of the past, imo. Also, no reason some of those last few names can't start in MN, imo. What more can they do in the minors at this point?

    The old "if you aren't a fan like I am, you are doing it wrong" argument, my favorite of all time when it comes to entertainment... I like baseball. But there is no way I could watch a game at that pace. I can't watch any sport at that pace. Just awful. No idea how to fix it, other than limiting warmup pitches and commercial breaks that happen close together (just as I don't think the NFL should go to commercial before AND after a kick).

    The whole "don't let Granite sit around and do nothing thing"....when would you ever call him up, then? Until you trade Rosario....Granite is a 4th OF for this team, right (or maybe 3rd with Rosario 4th). But, I'd rather have him here and contributing, than waiting for that perfect moment and getting him more reps.

    I want more young players in the bullpen than mediocre, terrible, or even decent veterans. Seriously, just give the players in the minors a chance, there are plenty of options. If they are going to sign a RP, sign the best one you can afford, not a couple of mediocre ones.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Very, very, very different attitude. And, I was really talking about the game threads...
  9. Mike Sixel
    Law was complimentary of at least one play in the field for Gordon also, but I couldn't get a reply when I asked if he thought Gordon would stay at SS.
  10. Mike Sixel
    There's not deciding....he's a SP. He could play SS, but that's not his path to stardom.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Can't watch, but on gamecast, Kershaw looks good.
  12. Mike Sixel
    And carry Park, Vargas, Sano, and a backup third baseman? Tough to fit all that inn, imo.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Exactly how would they not waste next year and the year after if they don't get pitching? Where do you expect to get pitching, if not thru a trade?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of this logic. I mean, just because every team has a weak link doesn't mean you should settle for one. This team is not in the playoffs next year, you could lose a potential long term piece in Vargas, or not play Park to trade him.... Or you can cut Mauer.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Really needs a better steal percentage, badly.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ah, I misunderstood. Got it.
  17. Mike Sixel
    the rest was awesome. worth those three courses....for sure. Also cost less than I figured for that level of food.
  18. Mike Sixel
    here you go: mike sixel 10:15 My daily attempt....what would Dozier return in trade, do you think? Clearly the Twins need pitching... Jeff Sullivan 10:16 The big issue would be getting other teams to believe in the magnitude of the power spike. I don't think front offices know yet what to make of all the 2016 home runs, and Dozier was the sort of guy who could benefit from a different ball more than most 10:17 I think you'd probably be looking at two prospects somewhere in the 40 - 80 range

    The meat dishes were the biggest let down for sure. Sweatbreads (yuck) tiny shrimp w/o much flavor hmmm, can't even remember the other one
  20. Mike Sixel
    agreed, we just randomly walked past it in Portland.....was great.
  21. Mike Sixel
    True, but injuries can happen to anyone. He's not some guy that overthrows, and he's not had surgery before..... I do agree he might need more work, but it won't be 5 years......heck, if Berrios had appeared last year like he should, that would have been 3 years....and if Gonsalves pitches next year in MN, that is 4 years.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Marilyn Carlson Nelson showed that.....just look at that company now, if you squint, you can still see it....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Creme brulee is probably my biggest weakness. We did a tasting menu last weekend....they said it would be 5 courses, what they didn't say was that those would be on something like 18 different dishes, including 4 desserts....
  24. Mike Sixel
    My plan is a bit different then Thrylos'..... I'd use about 8 RPs that rotate in and out of the "rotation" that go up and down from AAA to MLB. Probably you can find 2 good starters, but rather than send out SPs that should never be starters, you should use guys in a rotation for the other 3 starts.
  25. Mike Sixel
    There is no chance it takes him 5 years to make the majors if he's the pitcher people think. No way.
