    some day I'd love to read a short story about why they didn't play Polanco at SS in AAA, and then moved him to SS in the majors. IMO, if that was a real possibility, they probably should have played him at SS in AAA.

    I've never said that about water or affairs.....but true, others have. Like I said, I agree, they should have gotten out ahead of this.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Great update, thanks,

    Wait, her campaign refused to let reporters follow her when she was sick? They wanted some privacy for an issue that doesn't matter at all, probably? That said, they should have just said she was under the weather. As for the first story....maybe the spokesperson didn't know she was sick. Mountain, meet molehill.

    Meh, it must be boring to be 40 games over .500......
  6. Mike Sixel
    At this point, I'd be happy had they developed some number 3 types.....they have 1 possibly legit guy they've drafted and developed the last few years on the roster, Gibson (and, Berrios for part of this year). It's not just a lack of ACE, it's a lack of any quality starting pitching lately. Regardless of why it turned out this way, it did. And, for that, the FO will rightly (imo) be turned over.

    Kurt Suzuki....DH.... What more needs to be said?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ok, that was funny.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It would really help the Twins run prevention if Buxton can hit at all next near, and stay healthy.....really help. Twins win today, 5-2. book it. like, all your money.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'll be shocked if he pitches less than 140 innings next year, if healthy. Shocked. the 20% increase thing is a terrible piece of bad science.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Dozier could DH, and maybe play 3B. When were Span's concussion issues?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Learning continues in the majors. Otherwise, you'd not have coaches at all......Molitor has worked with Rosario, for example, for 2 seasons now, and he still throws to the wrong base too often for Molitor... I am curious if you don't think players can improve with coaching in the majors.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Until you cancel your tickets......that's the only message they'll really understand.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Uh.....it was 2400 per customer, in fees alone, for those that incurred fees. That doesn't count any issues with credit scores changing, or anything else. if someone stole $2400 from you, would you want them prosecuted? should it matter, really? They committed fraud, and as I said, heads should roll up the chain more than they have.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I too would probably mostly use Rogers against lefties, and not against really good righty HR hitters....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm not arguing less isn't a good idea, I'm arguing a guy running for POTUS needs to know the landscape, whether he wants to spend money there or not. I also agree most won't care, but most aren't considering voting for him......for some people, however, this probably confirms that he's not ready. And, when you are running 3rd, you can't lose anyone.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    75% of Americans aren't running for POTUS. Nor do they represent a party that is isolationist, and has, in general, a weakness in understanding the international world. He just verified the fear many have, he doesn't know enough about international affairs.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Opening an account in someone's name is fraud. Every employee, supervisor and others should face prosecution, imo.
  19. Mike Sixel
    How much time? This is year 4 or 5, depending on what you think was the "start" of the rebuild.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Why? I mean, i agree, if healthy, he should play 3B next year......but why is it wrong/bad/evil to be a DH at 23, if it turns out he can't field?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't like either Serivino or Tate all that much.....I have no idea why the Twins would do that trade. Neither is even close to the kind of pitcher they should target, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    i'm curious how you know what is going on in his mind. Hitting behind a runner for a productive out is stupid baseball, btw.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I consider a lot of it answeredish*..... Hughes? hurt most likely May? ok, that's open Gibson? Mediocre/bad Santana? Pretty good Duffey? Either not a starter, or needs to go to 2 pitches Santiago? Not here next year, probably Berrios? big question mark Meija? Won't start the year here, but will pitch in MN, probably like a number 5 Hmmmm....looking at that list, I see 3 guys that will likely start here next year. Ok, ya, that's a big question. My bad. *probably not an actual word, and "answered" is an exaggeration.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I have always agreed with you that lower revenue teams don't do this. I have disagreed that they shouldn't ever do it, though in this post, we seem to be agreeing that IF there is a premier FA SP, they should try to sign him (even knowing the last 1-2 years will probably stink relative to the contract). I think AZ has a much bigger tv deal, so I agree, I'm not sure they are like the Twins. Clearly, rightly or wrongly, lower revenue teams agree with your general stance, that they should not go in for big time FAs (though the Cards have re-signed their own players to big deals, or tried to).

    Can Phil Hughes and Glen Perkins be counted on as factors going forward? No. Anything you get from them is a bonus, but counting on either to be healthy would be foolish, imo. I guess I don't understand two things about Sano. 1. The sample size on defense is tiny. He hasn't played 3B hardly at all for 2 years. If he's healthy, why not play him there next year? 2. Why is it wrong/bad/evil to just make him a DH, if it turns out he's awful at fielding? Which relievers can be counted on? Pretty much none of them other than Pressley.....which is a real bummer. to me, the biggest questions are: Can Sano field? Can Buxton hit? Can Berrios pitch? What do you do with Polanco/Dozier? Other than that, the other stuff pales, imo.
