    thanks for the update. Can we get an update on what the advisory board is? I'm curious if they have some kind of fan group they run stuff by in private or something.
  2. Mike Sixel
    that's a fair belief, I just don't think they grow much at 3B in game, but I could be 100% wrong on that.
  3. Mike Sixel
    They didn't move any of them to the bullpen, for one thing.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    He holds zero value to the MLB roster, if he's never on the MLB roster or traded for someone that is. What are the odds he pitches on the MLB roster next year, as a SP vs a RP? Duensing has not been good, he costs actual money, I'd try Rogers. They know RP is a huge need, they have a guy sitting in AAA that could fill one of the roles.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree, but that's ok. A 3B gets 1-3 chances a game, playing 2 times a week vs 6 times a week isn't going to change things that much. That's what practice is for. And, if Plouffe can't get a MLB player, or one that is here in the next year, I'd rather they actually try to win next year, instead of moving the target into the future.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Not sure why Rogers wasn't a LOOGY this year, they needed one. I don't get it at all, frankly. The others in this part? No idea, but probably not long term MLB assets, which makes sense this far down the list.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Playing DH next year does not LOCK him into DH forever, does it? that seems to be a bit specious.
  8. Mike Sixel
    this whole thing confuses me. It's insurance against an unknown, a couple years in the minors doesn't prove anything that they should "know" already. Also, trusting Molitor and his assessment of guys, does the name Danny Santana ring a bell? He was 100% wrong about him last year. The reason it is insurance is because you don't know with certainty at all about Sano's glove.
  9. Mike Sixel
    What is the plan for May next year, starter or reliever? What are the teams thoughts on Kohl Stewart's progress to this point?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why did Berrios not come up for the May spot start? Or, at al this year? Did you feel you did enough at the break to get the team into the post season, or was this a matter of waiting for next year?
  11. Mike Sixel
    today in KLAWchat.....he said he thinks Schwarber will be fringe average or just below in LF long term, and that the Cubs love his ability and make up.
  12. Mike Sixel
    FWIW, KLAW suggests keeping Sano at DH, and either keeping Plouffe, or getting an even better defensive 3B.......that was, of course, just a quick post on his chat today, so the usual disclaimers about it being off the cuff apply....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Yes, but not on Vikings journal......basically, the box I am typing in has all the options greyed out.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    the playoffs are about entertainment even more than the season is, they aren't about determining the "best" team at all.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It means that a player is judged on defense and offense, and they rolled the dice on his defense (which didn't kill them in the regular season), and lost the roll. It has no larger meaning.
  16. Mike Sixel
    D'oh. Not sure where my brain was on Reed, must have been sort of working when typing that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Made me think of Elric......but then, no one* liked him. *well, not NO one
  18. Mike Sixel
    It was funny the first time I saw that someone with the same name as me was an MMA fighter. We must be related somehow......but no, that is definitely not me.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Didn't love the Diaz signing much either. Destined to be a 1B/DH. I would bet he does not start in CR. Without seeing them, and going only off what we read, Reed seems like an ideal candidate to move the bullpen. Obviously, Polacios is an intriguing name/guy.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kohl Stewart could be better than Gray, Berrios could, heck, Hu could......the question is, what are the odds any of them are that effective compared to his odds of remaining that effective.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone ever said having an Ace was sufficient to winning, it takes more than 1 player. Nor did anyone say it was a guarantee of post season success. I think, though I may be wrong, that people think it would help the odds. I'd rather hope against all evidence the Twins can draft and develop great pitchers, but there seems to be decades of evidence they can't. Hope isn't really a very effective strategy. I don't know the best, most right, even better answer......but keeping doing what they did for the first 40 years of their existence wasn't working all that well. Maybe things changed for the better a few years ago, we'll find out over the next 4-5 or so.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The protected Max Kepler in pretty much the same situation as Vielma is in. Just sayin'.* I've always been of the mind they protect too many guys that will never contribute any more to the roster than a random guy they can get in FA. I don't see any roster crunch this year at all. *I am in NO WAY (lots of caps there) saying Vielma projects like Kepler.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Agree with these moves. Good luck to them in their careers.
  24. Mike Sixel
    That is true, I think his point was there was not enough data for him to know if it would work or not.....but I am sort of working right now, so I can't look effectively.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've often wondered this..... If a hitter gets a hit every game, is that better or worse than getting 2 hits one game, and none the next? That is, is it more important they hit every game, or that they get more hits in one game, but none in others? Which team wins more often? And, sequencing matters to actual outcomes, not predicted ones.....hence the question.
