    1964....great year for this planet....

    It is a TON of days, but the only food related one is cinnamon raisin bread day.....

    Hahahaha, ya, that was never my look. And, I could never grow that 'stache. That is a serious 80s shirt (I think).
  4. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but it is also Albers, Dean, and about 10 others that are AAA/AAAA pitchers. This isn't just a defense issue.

    Cross posting from the thread on other sites....at least he admits he's guessing.... JTT 9:21 Why does nobody seem to want the twins job? The team is basically begging for people to interview and guys are turning them down. I realize the team sucks and ownership is less than ideal but the Angels/mariners jobs were considered difficult and they got their guys pretty easily. Hell even the Marlins went relatively smooth Jeff Sullivan 9:23 I'm going to guess this is more a case of just a few people saying no, and generating headlines. The Twins are going to fill their jobs and they will presumably fill them with quality candidates. It's mostly a desirable spot to work -- low expectations, great ballpark, loyal fan base. There are some issues people will have about working with ownership, and that might make it a little similar to when the Orioles had trouble finding a GM, but I can't imagine ownership is *that* off-putting 9:24 If you're a potential GM, you come in and figure you'll inherit an improving Sano, Buxton, and Berrios. There are worse places to start

    Undecided 9:13 More WAR by the end of career: Betts or Buxton? Jeff Sullivan 9:13 Betts isn't even 24 yet and he has a 13-win head start. It would be silly to choose Buxton here

    That was a fascinating read. I hope he gets to follow up with like a few dozen more players.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Great read......if you are interested in the hitter side....read the Fangraphs article by Eno Sarris on what hitters can see. What a great read.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ha, different kind of hard for sure, but yes, hard, very hard.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It is hard to see both Park and Vargas on this team together...
  12. Mike Sixel
    I agree with the premise of the OP. I DH almost everything in my life.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I had to switch, though. She just couldn't picture a new hair style for me, and I needed a change. i've been to two different places so far in Oregon (sigh, I had found the right one in MN....), not sure how I feel about either so far.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I was surprised about Diaz also. That was the one major surprise for me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I could never root for the Cleveland team....the fact I call them the CLE team should explain why. The Os are hard to explain. Like, fascinating in some ways. I am rooting for Toronto and the Cubs, I guess, but I'm not sure I care all that much.
  16. Mike Sixel
    The lack of ethics in many big businesses is very sad indeed. I think MLB still hasn't announced what they are doing to the Cardinals for stealing information have they? I mean, that was a federal crime....and still nothing, right?
  17. Mike Sixel
    It is certainly frustrating. Over the last how many years.....the only pitchers they have drafted, or traded for, and developed that have had success are Gibson, Duffey, and ????. It really is all about this. Whether that is draft position, bad luck, or whatever.....they have pretty much relied on FAs the last couple of years, FAs purchased that had little upside (or none). It hasn't worked. Until they get even close to mediocre, the offense won't be good enough to matter, imo.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If you hit on 20 and get an ace....doesn't mean it was a good idea. And that you should do it again.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It is never the right thing to do to sacrifice in the second inning.....well, maybe with a pitcher.
  20. Mike Sixel
    He sacrificed in the second inning? After four hits? Against a terrible pitcher? Cannot wait for him to be gone.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The LHP with the long name week be 26/27 before he comes up? I hope the new regime doesn't waste RP and in the minors. But, that is a nit in an article I think is very well written with great info.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Having recently moved, as bad as delta can be, Minneapolis might be one of the best places to fly from....but yes, being close to family is important and is likely a factor for any move.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Lion's tap used to be great. Now? Meh.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Wow the market is variable right now. A lucky options gambler could make tons.
  25. Mike Sixel
    But that is not about coming to Minnesota....it would preclude any move...yet some here are convinced, apparently, that it is a Minnesota problem. Or, I am reading it wrong
