    Awesome coverage, thanks. As for charging players.....penny wise, pound foolish. Unreal way to treat your employees. There is room, they are injured, they don't make hardly any money.....

    Still don't know what is happening long term with Arya. But at least she showed she isn't an assassin for hire, so that's good. Interesting that they mentioned the brotherhood w/o banners. I thought maybe they just dropped that line. All in all, the episode contained surprises for me, which was nice. I was not expecting the queen's conversion to the faith to be so real (even if it isn't, the boy king's is).

    Well, this is a sticky one..... On the one hand, I'm not sure 1 month is a lot of time to "fix" him. I had been saying keep him down for another month or so, and then call him up (assuming he's hitting well) and see what you have. Really, it needs to be about the long term. On the other hand....he is on the 40 man, their "CF" is hurt, and he's the best fielding CF they have. I just want the manager to play him every day, and see what is changed or not.

    Well, most of these new Presidents are really the GMs, and it is title inflation..... that said, from the times St. Peter talks about baseball.....he really shouldn't. He's not good at that part of his job. Well, he's not good for over involved fans with lots of knowledge. Maybe he's good overall..... I really have no idea how well he does at the other aspects of his job.

    Only on page 1 so far. Not raining in Portland.....

    Had brisket last night.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Ah......my bad. I read things wrong.
  8. Mike Sixel
    True.....but none of us can fly around and scout. So, we are pretty much left trusting the Twins (not me) and scouting the stat lines.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Seems like he has not started in some time though.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'll continue saying tall pitchers make me nervous.......and their success with Meyer isn't helping me think they can handle Manning.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Tomorrow is national hamburger day. Just letting you know ahead of time, so you can plan.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Well.....that was depressing to read, but accurate. I agree with nick and van......it needs to about putting the current prospects in the best shape for the next few years and not about return. 4-5 years in, they have nearly zero tradeable assets.....wow.
  13. Mike Sixel
    No. I think they'll play much better at some point. That said, looking at the roster......I agree.....there are not a ton of guys I think are good players in 2 years on this roster right now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    How will you know if he's ready next year, if he doesn't face MLB pitching again this year? Or, are you willing not to know that, and go out and sign a real CF? They can gather data in July and August, and have more confidence one way or the other, in his readiness.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Wow. What a season.
  16. Mike Sixel
    We don't agree. Playing him half the time in the OF in the minors the last year or so, imo, would have better prepared him for game action.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I want him up no later than July. IMO, he needs to face real MLB pitchers this year so they can see if they need a stop gap next year or not. Waiting until the fall, when teams have AAA pitchers up, imo, is a bad idea.
  18. Mike Sixel
    This is a great article: http://www.hardballtimes.com/uncompetitive-minor-league-wages-might-be-deterring-talent/
  19. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the awesome coverage.
  20. Mike Sixel
    FA in a rebuild should be short term deals, that either work and you trade, or you extend. FA in a rebuild, imo, should not be about filling your entire SP rotation. I am baffled that anyone is defending this rotation and the FO at all. It's been terrible 4 of 5 years now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If they thought he might need to move to the OF, why did he NEVER play it in the minors? Where was the foresight and planning? Some of us thought of it back then...... I also don't get the whole "if you are young, it is evil/bad/wrong to be a DH". If he isn't playing 3B, and he's awful in the OF, isn't he worth more as a DH?
  22. Mike Sixel
    How long should it take? When do we get to judge the number of 90 loss seasons as too many? I just want to know, because the goal posts seem to move a lot.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd wait at least 3 more weeks for Buxton to continue his progress. I have no idea what the clubhouse is like......but I have my doubts it is a great place to be right now. But, I have no idea. I would not wait until fall call ups to call him up, though. He needs to be back up in June/July, to face real MLB pitching for 2 months, so they can know if they need a backup plan again next year. Wade should have been promoted already. But, we see the slow progress in the low minors thing with him for sure.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff! thanks to both sides of the interviews.
