    Weird, the Sox 2015 pick is in AA......is that allowed?
  2. Mike Sixel
    It is 100% warming. Anyone that denies it just isn't admitting the truth for some unknowable reason. I'd say there are things that can be done, with low risk. There was an interesting idea bout "heat sinks" in the Caribbean being used to reduce hurricanes. If it does something bad, it is easy to remove them. There are other things that are like that, that we could try......that aren't going to lead to us all riding the world in a train..... I'd suggest one easy thing is to eat 1 less meal with meet every week. Oh, and Solar now employs more people than coal and is adding more jobs every month than gas/oil (which was true even before the plunge). If governments would just not try to protect the past.....things could get better.

    This is exactly what some of us feared, btw. The starters wouldn't be bad, but they wouldn't be good. And, the higher upside guys would use more pitches in the minors, and nothing here would really change. So far, that's what we've seen, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I don't get why the change was needed......people discuss what they want to discuss. I'm hopeful we get some discussions going.

    There is an insider article on ESPN today with all of Law's posts about Hicks from his time as a 16 yo to his last year in the minors.........kind of interesting if you want to see how his thoughts did/did not change over time.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, I'm not sure you should worry about years of control with pitchers.....but putting that aside...... If Milone doesn't get better, move him to the bullpen. While you are at it, DFA Fien, and send down the least effective guy still there. Call up Berrios and Duffey. Put Duffey in the bullpen. At some point, having uber talented guys up here is more important than having mediocre guys here, but depth in the minors. I'd argue we are at that point now, but I can see why Ryan and team want to wait another week or two.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope your delusion of Ryan trading for Swihart is true. That would be sweet.

    Kasich was staying at the same hotel as me in CT last night. I almost talked to some of his staffers late nite in the bar, to compare stories from now vs way back when I worked on Dole's campaign. But, I was REALLY tired....I know that's not a very interesting story. But, I'm a bit fatigued with the campaign right now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I wish I had been in town, so I could have been down there with everyone. I have almost cried three times now......I am not one to worship "stars", it isn't usually worth it. And I didn't even put any of his albums in my essential list. Or, maybe it is the emotions of someone finally buying our house yesterday, or a combo. Either way, kind of a rough day.
  10. Mike Sixel
    KLAW posted a question and answer on his chat today about him, but I can't get there right now to link to it....basically, let him play up here, was his answer, I think.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Very sad news indeed.
  12. Mike Sixel
    In the other thread on this topic, there is a quote from Gardy saying he thought Danny was going to be great. It is in the other thread, if you want to see it.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Kind of hard to continue the discussion here.
  14. Mike Sixel
    As a Scout, he thought Danny Santana was going to be great. Scouting is part of his job now......
  15. Mike Sixel
    He also recently updated his "shadow Twins international signings"...... I enjoyed the recap of Cuddeyer.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Normally people go "yes", but that's cool and all....
  17. Mike Sixel
    so, more time for him to sit up here and do nothing, or will he get to play this time?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Well, if he's offering scouting thoughts like "Santana is going to be one of the best in the league", ya, it could be bad....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Again, I ONLY move him if this is for 6+ weeks.......no way I'd move Sano for less than that. and no, Santana is not an option. I'm not convinced he can hit at all.......nor can he field in the infield.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Uh, only if that was the last post........
  21. Mike Sixel
    I will say, it seems a bit too comfy for my tastes. It is hard to get on board with "we are trying to bring in new voices and ideas" when stuff like this happens. But, my recollection is that Gardy was a very good teacher in the minors.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I will refuse to pass judgement on this. Let's see if he can help the minor league coaches.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think so.....I want Kepler in AAA for more at bats, and give Rosario another month or so.
  24. Mike Sixel
    If it is 6 weeks.....I'd certainly consider moving Sano, and putting Arcia in RF.
  25. Mike Sixel
    over how much time? How would he develop into a 3B, while playing exclusively in RF?
