    Heh, I'm not sure advice coming from ME is going to help.........
  2. Mike Sixel
    almost like there isn't a plan......
  3. Mike Sixel
    What does Rush mean? There are plenty of guys that go from low A to AA or even AAA in a year, when they absolutely dominate. How many starts like this would he need to go up?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I can't help you either. That is so opposite to how we live our lives, I can't even relate. Took my then 10 year old to see Green Day in concert. I think Billy Joe said the F word about 20 times in the first minute.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It is unfortunate that these guys are hurt. They are out there trying to win for their teammates, and to provide us with entertainment. Getting hurt stinks. I will never question a professional athlete's pain tolerance compared to normal people, I've seen it in action. I too would prefer Meyer start for Milone. But, Molitor appears to be frozen in fear of using young pitchers (unlike young, bad, hitters). So, I'm not holding my breath.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, Meyer should get some starts. Play for upside, please, try it with the pitchers.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I am not sure I agree that Arcia is suited for the OF, or Sano either.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no.......I just decided to use my real name on sites like this going forward. Seems more fair to the athletes and FO types, not that they care at all. I also did it as an experiment, to see if it changed how I posted. I think, other than the last week, I've been more mellow. There is a lot of stress at home and work right now, I think that is multiplying the bad play of the Twins, in terms of my posts. I still very much want wins.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't think so. They do need depth, and you can actually send Gibson down if you want. The problem is the guys you can't send up and down....and that they are just good pitchers, not great pitchers.
  10. Mike Sixel
    The Cubs run differential is higher than the Twins runs scored, so, to make up for that, the Twins pitchers would have had to have given up negative three runs (and the Cubs have played 1 less game).......
  11. Mike Sixel
    how is that more pressure than AA? Or, do you mean someone else would be in that spot in AAA? in which case, I'd ask why.....why is the most likely best RP prospect they have right now not in AAA, in the closer role?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Funny, I read that as sex boat at first........
  13. Mike Sixel
    Motitor needs to learn to trust his great athletes to perform. I really am not a fan of how he decides who to trust. He trusted Danny Santana enough to kill an entire season almost, but he seems very reluctant to trust pitchers. I think is a failing of his, that someone should discuss with him.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Maybe the manager should use Meyer and others then, and not tax the same guys over and over? Are you sure it is only 2 days? What if it is 7, then is it a problem? This arose because they wanted more pitchers, needed them, and didn't use the new guy. If this is really about Duffey and Santana, the easiest thing to do is just call up Meyer and have him start and DL Duffey or send him down. It really isn't all that hard at all. If you can go with no bench for 2-7 days, you can start Meyer for 1-2 games.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm a believer. I think it is great he's up right now. I hope he never goes down again. I expect that at some point this year, he'll be their best starter. I expect him to over throw the first game, and not be awesome, but be good.
  16. Mike Sixel
    IMO, it is a typical gamble on the low side, rather than the high side. A very risk averse move. There is no reason Berrios or Meyer can't start a game or two. There is no reason to worry about service time for a pitcher, he's either going to get hurt, or super expensive. They signed a 29 yo DH, and went with mostly veterans outside the OF, they are clearly trying to win this year. Worrying about 6/7 years from now, that's not consistent with the rest of their moves. Maybe that's the problem here.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, I am sure your guess is correct on a pitcher or two coming down. And, I hope they are doing this to keep from messing with Chargois.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He didn't even use Meyer.........so not sure what difference that made. He also didn't ever use Polanco or Kepler.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I agree, this could be a huge issue.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Pretzels and Audobon......two great things I don't think go together.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Wimmers over Chargois.....?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Don't they both need to be on the 40 man next year? I don't think he's ready just yet.....nor is Garver.....but I'd be surprised if one of them is not in MN at some point this year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think they are around a .500 team, that started 9 games in the hole......so, probably they are regressing to their true talent.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Me neither. I thought he would be good, frankly.......I remain surprised. Really surprised.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's a fair argument. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps we shouldn't expect him to be good yet. If that's true, perhaps the GM should have had a back up plan this time.....
