    Remember the outrage here over Kubel and Bartlett, especially after St. Peter said the 25th man doesn't matter?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Suzuki will not be anywhere near league average.........
  3. Mike Sixel
    So, if Smith had little influence, it must have been people put in place by his predecessor, right? Look, they've won 1 playoff series in this era. 1. That seems like a pretty low bar for success.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Well, just because something happens after something, does not mean the predecessor was a cause.......it MIGHT mean that, but probably not. I hope you took that post like it was intended.......the conclusion can't be reached from that evidence, but it could be true. we don't know.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    The purpose of trading Plouffe is to put Sano there........not to get anything in return. Also, to free up money to spend on the bullpen (or not). Now, if you don't think Sano can play 3B....why didn't he take fly balls last year? Why did he never play the OF in the minors? Did they come to that conclusion over the off season?

    I prefer the mighty Cthulhu.... I would put in my favorite image, but can't recall how (and is probably blocked from work)...... "why choose the lesser evil".....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I want a Twin's prospect that is TOP 10 to be like Bryant, Correia, etc...... There is no shame in going back down, kicking rear, and then coming and being great........but it would nice if that wouldn't be an issue here.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I'm no believer that Sanders is some kind of hero or would make a good President....... Hilary bums me out. She once seemed to be an actual liberal, championing single payer. But, once she got power, she turned out to be like all of them.....hawkish, interested in helping the wealthy be more wealthy, blowing in the wind on social issues....... She is 100% the most qualified candidate right now. 100%. But, she inspires nothing in terms of greatness at all. Not in me.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I agree, it is probably not realistic.......are we sure Sanders is "do this or bust"? I mean, he's trying to fire up millions of people to vote for him. He's not going to do that by sounding just like Clinton.
  10. Mike Sixel
    What are Clinton's big goals, other than making the rich more rich? It's hard to tell on any non-financial issues, since she blows in the wind.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Very pleased that Kohl is starting out well. Good luck to him and all the others.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Anyone expecting Suzuki to be good was probably not a good judge of talent, imo. It also shouldn't totally surprise people that one of Jepsen / Perkins would struggle (though both being actually bad is a surprise).
  13. Mike Sixel
    so, like every presidential candidate speaks, pretty much........ I don't listen to the debates, they literally have no influence on my life until there is a candidate. How's that incrementalism worked out under Obama? We didn't put a man on the moon thru incrementalism, or get true civil rights by it, or social security. I'm not sure that aiming for tiny improvements for everyone but the rich is the best way to get change......
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think he'll be in AAA for a couple months this year, then back up, and much better.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The argument made here was that Ryan inherited a barren wasteland when he took over. How would you short hand the previous years, other than Smith - led? Do we need to list every scout, assistant GM, coach, manager? Is literally no one actually accountable for one playoff series victory? If everyone is, no is.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Hence....Smith led regime....Ryan led regime..... they hire the lead scouts. They hire the minor league coordinator. They hire the manager. They decide on the 25 man roster. I don't know, I'd think they are as accountable as any CEO/President/whatever....even if they don't do the actual work.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Phylicia Rashad still acts? Who knew?
  18. Mike Sixel
    No, but I'll find it. Now that I think about it.....that might have been in one particular state (it was an article about a coal state, and how it wasn't really a coal state, so I could be mis-remembering the data). I read it long ago, let me look.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I actually expect Park to take off soon. No idea why, I just have this feeling.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure a 34 year old, corner OF that can't play defense, who hits and fields like Arcia, is a panacea for the MLB team, though........it looks 100% like a panic move, even to my casual fan friends.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I don't think Molitor is the right guy either. He LOVES Santana and Rosario. That's not exactly something the makes you think "this guy should be a GM".
  22. Mike Sixel
    that's some bad logic, but I will say, he may have leadership qualities that do effect teams.
  23. Mike Sixel
    More people are employed in Solar than in coal in the US.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Which I actually said in this thread, that part of why they are bad now is on Smith.....and yes, 100% yes, Ryan didn't have people to trade because of when Ryan was GM. You don't trade first and second year players usually.
  25. Mike Sixel
    btw, I'm probably done. We are just rehashing now, and that's not fun enough for me to continue.
