    I love that this is centered. Very formal. thanks for starting the thread, nicely done!
  2. Mike Sixel
    Damn good point there at the end..... I'd sell every stock I own for sure.
  3. Mike Sixel
    The economy would basically shut down for months..... I'd invest in printing and paper companies for sure.
  4. Mike Sixel
    history is changing, and the game is getting younger. That's been a several year trend, and isn't just about last year's historic class.......
  5. Mike Sixel
    Some awesome shots!
  6. Mike Sixel
    I agree, it is case by case.......and I don't have the knowledge these guys do.......but as you know, I'm not in love with their process.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Good question.......but having read Farenheit 451, I refuse to take the chance....
  8. Mike Sixel
    good luck. If you want, you can find a way. You'll figure it out.......imagine what it was like back when the 80s when I tried an international relationship! You had to plan long distance calls, there was no email or internet, letters could take a week to get there.......

    This article on Fangraphs is why I want guys up earlier than they are needed, during a rebuild. Guys need, as Seth pointed out, to get this out of the way: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jb-wendelken-on-his-inauspicious-as-debut/

    Seth said in another thread: "This is weird... I was told, "he should pitch sometime this week." I dont get it. David Martinez was terrific in his first 2-3 starts for the Red Wings. Struggled some in his most recent start. I'm hoping to find out more specifics."
  11. Mike Sixel
    I didn't write this, but I agree with all of this. As usual, Seth and I are on the same page!
  12. Mike Sixel
    Yes, the world would be massively changed for sure. As for life changing things......did you and that woman become longer term friends?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Which is why, imo, they should come up sooner rather than later, but we largely agree on this.
  14. Mike Sixel
    As one of the owners of the site pointed out, the history of tall pitchers is really bad. The Twins traded a legit starting CF for him, so it was on them to: 1. Understand the risk 2. Believe they could fix his issues
  15. Mike Sixel
    I have never looked at porn on line.....which I find odd, actually.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I just wish they had moved Mauer out from behind the plate a year earlier, as many here and elsewhere suggested. His career, imo, would look totally different. Of course, Mauer and Morneau are even earlier in history than Plouffe and Dozier.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    that last sentence made my eyes bleed. I am going to see if the break room has gauze, brb.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I thought about music......but gotta get the science. Plus, there are still plenty of CDs and albums out there.......
  19. Mike Sixel
    Anyone got any ideas what is going on?
  20. Mike Sixel
    YAY!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Sano was an international signing. I am taktalking about the US scouting and development. But sure, 1 hitter in how many years?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Bobby Cox said teh F word probably hundreds of times.....he's not a punk, is he?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree with most of that....but I think Dozier is a bit too high, and Molitor is waaaaaaaaaaaay too high. He has, imo, no idea how to manage the tactics of the game, which is all we can observe. His refusal to PH for Suzuki late in games hurts my brain even more than his love of the free out of the sacrifice bunt. I think I have more confidence in Berrios than you. Assuming they move Sano back to DH or 3B, I'd give him an A- or even A for the rest of the year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I would work with everyone I know to download all scientific information. Then all books. Then something that makes me lots of money, so maybe porn. Not sure.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Really? The rare team? I don't think that's quite right, frankly. Name the last hitter this team drafted and developed, and how long ago it was.......I would go with Dozier or Plouffe. that's an awful long drought of drafted players that are legit MLB players, isn't it? It's not about the time (only), but the frequency......and the continual pipeline. On the pitching side, they started the year with 4 FAs/traded for guys in the starting rotation....... For me, it seems reasonable to question their drafting and their development, given the results. YMMV, of course.
