    You'd be surprised how many orgs just can't bring themselves to fire bad employees, but I get your point.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea why Plouffe is in the field at this point....if they really want to play him, DH him. But, Sano and Polanco need to be in the field whenever possible, imo.

    Well, even if he was the "only" catcher, he'd maybe have 10-20 more starts over a year. Guys just don't catch every day. I think he's a Twin at some point next year (and in September of this year, but that's a look see).

    I bet if we watched, we'd see shots at some other teams also...... Look, the drafts for like 5 years were terrible. Buxton, who nearly everyone thought was can't miss, looks hopeless. That's going to cloud how people perceive this team for some time.

    How is the first not "something to do different", exactly? I mean, if we were literally asked "what would you do differently", isn't the correct response to point out things actually done, that we would not do?

    BTW, I think Kepler is a good counter argument to his statement. He was a raw kid with little real experience against good (even ok) opponents. Y'all did something right with him.

    I hated that Swihart decision so much. So, so much.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think Garver played 40 percent at catcher to keep him healthy. Also, he played almost every day. It isn't like he sat when he wasn't catching. To me, this says they were making sure he got at bats, so he would develop faster.

    If Meyer pitchers six years in the majors, I will be shocked. I don't care about the money, but Antony and Pohlad should.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I hated the trade. It was a buy low opportunity, that had a very low likelihood of success. But, it kept them doing something else that had a higher probability of success. To me, it was the kind of move a team makes that keeps it bad long term.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't know how to get out of this one. I am not in love with long term deals for catchers, but I'd seriously look at Castro in the off season and see what he costs. Probably what I'd do: 1. Get Garver up here after the AAA season ends, and start him every other dayish. 2. If he does well, I roll the dice on him and Centeno 3. If not, and by not I mean I have ANY questions at all.....I try to sign Suzuki to a 1 year deal, with Garver in AAA getting ready. 4. Sign Castro, if I can keep it under 4 years (hahahahahaha). 5. 100% assume Murphy is not a MLB player. If he surprises me, great, but he's not in my plans. 6. Hope that one of the elite catchers in the next draft drops and he races thru the system (hope is not a strategy, btw).
  13. Mike Sixel
    What price would Meyer be worth at this point?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Never again hire a manager with no managing experience. Don't sign an extension after 1 good year, when the guy is already under control. There are two from me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    By this logic, the twins are also wrong, since they picked and traded for these guys.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I am not dismissing Meyer....but he is not exactly likely to be good at this point either. The rush not to realize both pitchers are bad, but one can by cut and millions can be saved....That rush seems odd.
  17. Mike Sixel
    People want chats to ignore silly questions? So, no chats then? I thought the comment was clearly off the cuff, but I have no idea. I merely post stuff as I see it, and rarely say if I agree or not. I would think if someone wants to know why he typed it, they should ask him.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Nope. I still think he is not tendered in the off-season, and they save millions, and free a roster spot.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Boshers in....runs score. Every time.
  20. Mike Sixel
    heh, first time I'm quoting myself.....but buried in the minor league daily update, Seth reports Garver is now in AAA....so I now expect him in MN in 3-4 weeks, and with a real shot to be in MN next spring.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I miss that strip.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think that was in one of his chats, on his personal site..... which, if you like food, games, music, books, or baseball, is a great site.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ya, BMI is the worst, and a certain company says so, yet requires a BMI test for reduced insurance costs......is that irony, or stupid?
  24. Mike Sixel
    check out prince fielder vs cecil fielder HR/RBI stats.... It is too bad, he was fun when he healthy.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He won't agree to go. And, at this point, he's playing very well, why would they want him gone?
