    Preach it.
  2. Mike Sixel
    He is 29 and under control for a few years. Zero reason to extend him. None. I have no idea who he is now, or the next two years, let's hope he is good.
  3. Mike Sixel
    It looks like Garver has a major league future. Are the 20 above him that sure?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I have no doubt about that. But given he throws one inning every three days or so....It will remain a tiny sample all year. So, sample size arguments don't hold a ton of water in this case
  5. Mike Sixel
    Wouldn't it make sense to get those nerves out of the way in a lost season?
  6. Mike Sixel
    We found old tapes when packing to move, and had a handful digitized. Only one was vhs sized though.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say I'd do it. But clearly many choose that route. I would take the money for sure.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Some people want to go to college? It is an awesome time. Probably the best time of your life in many ways.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Where is the love button?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Mostly being a stupid stark apparently. I had hope when she betrayed them, and grabbed her rapier. Now? Blah.
  11. Mike Sixel
    True. But no on was taking that contact on its own.

    I don't know, Arya still can't fight, still doesn't know when she's about to be stabbed, tries to buy her way back and doesn't hide from the faceless? She has been pretty much useless since she got to Braavos. Jaime? Hard to say........I was more talking about the Starks, who still seem wimpy or stupid or unable to lead. If this is all Arya is, there were far more interesting tales to tell, imo. At least we didn't watch Benjan move Bran across the North for 20 minutes, I guess. Loved the return of the Hound.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Btw, add Swihart to the list of out of position players that may be out for the year......I think maybe teams should stop putting guys that have no real experience out there in the OF.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    If you include Nolasco or Hughes, you lessen the return, not increase it, right? They have negative value at those prices, don't they? don't forget, Gibson should come back soon also.....so there is another pitcher. We'll learn something, I think, when they need to send down a pitcher, will they send down a young player that might have a future, or will they cut Jepsen and stick with veterans that cost money?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Interesting.....why don't more criminals do this, and then commit fraud?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Doesn't make it right or wrong.....we aren't in control of the Twins' future.
  17. Mike Sixel
    once you have the FA or player....once the contract is signed....2-3 years of dead money should not matter at all. What is better, cycling thru rookies or guys that might be good, or keeping Crawford on the payroll and punting a position? They are better off cycling thru guys that might be good, or using that spot to call up different players at different times (like when they go to the AL, and can use a DH, or when a bullpen arm is tired/hurt). If Mauer was the worst player at his position in all of baseball....the Twins could cut him and replace him with Park, then replace Park with a "free" player all day long for 3 years. And, they'd be better off, and they'd have spent an extra million or three in the process.
  18. Mike Sixel
    In this org? Not be a rookie. No chance they put a rookie in high leverage situations this "early" in the season.
  19. Mike Sixel
    completely irrelevant. Really. If it costs 500K to replace a player, or even 2-4MM a year, every team can afford that except the Rays. This is about the courage to admit mistakes and do what is best for winning and losing.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm surprised more teams don't do this, frankly. The money is committed.....replacing him with a rookie adds almost no cost at all.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you never make any move unless you are 100% sure it will work, you will stand in place your whole life and die. of course it can be a mistake. But a mistake in trying to win>>>>>>a mistake of doing nothing out of fear, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't do these lists.....but I came to post that if even a small number of athletes took stands like he did, this world would be a better place.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't believe Rosario or Vargas will ever hit enough to be MLB starters. I did not understand the Park signing, given his age, but no way I trade him to make room for those guys.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Arya has learned nothing in all the years of training as a fighter. Nothing. What a waste. Why have we spent so much time on a character that has not grown at all. Awful. Stupid and awful. I assume that Theon is going to save her, as part of the redemption of his character. And Sansa is still useless, my theory that this is really a story about women taking over the world took a huge hit last night when Sansa did nothing of value at all. Ugh, just ugh. Not one character showed any glimpse of growth from their original incarnation years ago. What a stupid waste of time for all of them.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I hope he is getting MLB service time and pay.......
