    You are under the assumption they let him pitch in the next three weeks. Gotta keep Boshers (I think he has allowed at least one run every appearance since his recall) in there.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    We'll just disagree on tone, and comments that aren't totally facts, I guess.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Wow. that's quite a drop. Was not sure of the trade when it happened..... I'll say this, Houston isn't afraid to make decisions on players.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'd argue you are confusing Maddux with Glavine, the most over rated pitcher, biggest argument for robot umps, ever....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Gah. Good luck to him.
  6. Mike Sixel
    dude, I've never done this on TD......but you ever say anything nice at all, in any thread?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Garver is in AAA. The AAA season ends in 3 weeks....would you just sit him, or call him up?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I would argue the thing they lost out on was doing something else to fix catcher. It created a "we have a plan" feeling, that prevented them acting in another way. An opportunity cost, as it were (I think there is a different term, I just can't recall it).
  9. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I am curious about the causation here...... Good luck to Chargois!

    Well, if Suzuki is on the 40 man next year, they aren't signing anyone. And, if he's not, then, there you go, they can sign one.....or am I not understanding?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'd argue those are the same k rates and o swing rates, well within the margin of error, as it were, to judge his process. IMO, he needs to figure out that o rate, I don't know how well that can be taught, or not.

    Austin 2:09 How about some twins sleepers? Any? Eric A Longenhagen 2:10 Trey Cabbage and Lamonte Wade, if you consider them sleepers.
  13. Mike Sixel
    from today's prospect chat: Eric 1:34 What's a reasonable expectation for Zack Granite? Eric A Longenhagen 1:34 4th OF is reasonable. College kid from Seton Hall, good body, can run and play CF, has contact skills but I can't project better than 30 game power there because of the swing. chronicles of Reddick 1:38 What is your outlook on Nick Gordon, twins? potential everyday player? Eric A Longenhagen 1:38 Yup. Tools aren't that loud but he's all-around solid and plays a decent SS. That'll get you far on its own. Austin 1:50 What are the chances Adam Brett walker can make the jump to the major successfully? He seems to have excelled at every level despite warning he'll fall off and strike out too much to be valuable. Eric A Longenhagen 1:50 I think the chances are slim.
  14. Mike Sixel
    as much as I like KLAW.....and as positive as he's been about their drafts lately......he has serious reservations about their development and use of stats, rightly or wrongly.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Well, I'm talking perception in that post....and perception is a lot different than nuanced analysis of the world. Also, perception is VERY hard to shake, once it exists. They'll have to show sustained success to shake off the badness.
  16. Mike Sixel
    No way Kintzler is moved. I'm saying it now, if he's traded this month, I'll, um, I'll do something.
  17. Mike Sixel
    It's also kind of hard to see/remember what has or has not changed at the minor league level. While this board can be a bit obsessive.....even we have a hard time remembering all the change.
  18. Mike Sixel
    they don't have 40 guys on the 40 man right now.....so, that should not be an issue.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, since posting that, I think a stop gap is the right answer, with Garver up half way thru the year to catch as a backup.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    that was awesome, thanks for the link. There are days I wish I had chosen a path more like this.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins didn't think Buxton was the best player...why did they pick him? I think your post, frankly, was snarky and assumed the worst of the authors and sites. That's cool, I understand cynicism, but stating that the sites only rip on the Twins to protect their own interests, when the Twins have been awful for some time now....well, that seems a bit unfair to me. YMMV, of course.
  22. Mike Sixel
    10 and 5 players and NTC players cannot be moved to another team by any means w/o their approval. Is he worth $23MM? No. Is he still better than the alternatives? Probably, yes. Park isn't that much younger than Mauer.....I agree, Sano will be at 1B in a couple of years.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I expect him to be a backup by the middle of next year, and then a starter a season or two after that. edit: expect is a strong word, but I think that will happen
  24. Mike Sixel
    He is playing every day....catchers don't catch every day.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm saying I would not count on him at all next year.....I'd assume he isn't playing next year. Should anyone assume differently at this point?
