    How does "everything has gone wrong" differ from "there has been totally bad luck", other than semantics?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Trading for a top 50 prospect, that has been in the minors for a couple years? I'd trade the 15th pick for that every day of my life. Way less risk in that prospect. That said.......the odds of Desmond doing this well were low, and I'd not have done the deal.

    I'd consider throwing in Polanco, only because he is out of options, and they refuse to use him up here to find out what they have. I'd rather keep him, but we have such little information on his MLB future.....even though he is out of options.

    I agree with Seth that almost everything has gone wrong. I disagree with Seth* in that I feel some of this was self-inflicted, and it isn't bad luck. Murphy was a buy low, low risk low reward move. Once again, they went small. Park? They have admitted (Molitor) that they didn't expect to win the bid, and it is clear they didn't know what to do when they did. Sano had NEVER played the OF in the minors (though some here had suggested he do that, in case they wanted to keep Plouffe.....like, 2 years ago). Poor planning, imo. Relying on Perkins? After this many years of injuries? Bad idea. Saying the bullpen was the number 1 spot to address, then doing what they did? Uh, that wasn't bad luck, that was predicted to be bad by nearly everyone here. *assuming that is what he is saying

    I think 2 things: 1. Lots of people suggested this before it happened, it is the kind of thing many have said a rebuilding team should do (so you can flip them), so I don't think this is totally hindsight. 2. I would be averse to doing this if you have to give up your first round pick. Just another casualty of playing above their head last year, I guess. So, while I remain baffled at the Park move (given they kept Plouffe and moved Sano to RF), I can't completely condemn this move.

    The divide between rural and urban......how do you close it?
  7. Mike Sixel
    So, May is a RP still. Sigh. Glad Jepsen is gone.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    No team has gone from 100 losses to the playoffs. Only a handful have gone from 90. You really think they are going too improve by 40 wins in one year?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Only 1 time so far....... that does not count all the times at my dad's house, where there was just hair on the plates, glasses (3 Burmese mountain dogs generate a lot of hair).
  10. Mike Sixel
    Is Mauer dead? If not, not sure why he doesn't hit there. Other than Molitor is really bad at his job....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Loved the Was not Was album "what up dog".
  12. Mike Sixel
    come on.....suzuki managed to barely throw out a guy on a pitchout. That's big* news *big being relative, of course, since I can't see the woman, or the guy.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Now my mouth tastes like soap AND my eyes are bleeding..... Genesis, with Gabriel>>>>>Genesis w/o Gabriel.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Just ate lunch, and took a hard candy on the way out of the place....I think the flavor was soap....I hope it was candy.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Phil Collins....I think my head just exploded.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think I might need a new phone. Mine just told me Suzuki threw out a base runner.
  17. Mike Sixel
    See, this is why they needed to keep what's his name.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    It seems clear Milone is not a good MLB pitcher......too bad. But, time to move on. Man, I think all my posts but 1 have been about baseball....this game thread is odd.
  19. Mike Sixel
    80s rock is his favorite music too.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    But he calls a good game, imagine how bad the SP would be w/o that!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Danny Santana, defensive sub extraordinaire! he can play anywhere!
  22. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I never saw it in MN.....it is true at most in OR. In a couple, smaller ones, you can't avoid them at all if you want. The two dobermans take a bit getting used to.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Hold.......imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Cany ou be more descriptive for those of us not watching....thanks,
  25. Mike Sixel
    First, thanks for a thread about what we would do, and not the FO, there are plenty of those...... I flip flop on what to do with Dozier. Keep him: He could be part of a competitive team in 2-4 years. They need some veterans at that time, maybe. He's kind of good No idea if Polanco is good or not tired of watching a bad team Trade him: Not SUPER likely to be good when the team is He bunts, bizarrely He can return 1-3 legit prospects, that could be good when the team is good I find his streakiness annoying
