    It is also hard to be objective when things are like May......there was an awful lot of chest puffing in late May, early June on this site.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Hope to see Berrios soon, and Duffey in the bullpen soon.
  3. Mike Sixel
    now it's three more years? ugh. I agree with most of the rest, but there is no reason they can't compete in under 3 more years (other than the FO might not be up to the task).
  4. Mike Sixel
    People come to watch winners, so if they are going to keep him on the roster, he should play about 1/4 the time....imo.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I've been wondering about this..... buxton, Sano, Rosario, Kepler, Berrios and who else is likely to hit their prime together? I don't think anyone else on the 25 man is. I don't know, maybe Polanco? No one else is even in AA that is a likely MLB player, are they?
  6. Mike Sixel
    If you can get a young MLB starter and 2 top 50 players for Dozier, sure, I'd 99% likely do that (assuming that starter is a SS, C, 2B, or SP)......but I can't see that happening.
  7. Mike Sixel
    There will be a bottle neck next year, if Polanco isn't moved to 2B, or in MN or something.....it will be interesting to see how they handle these guys in the off season. If Gordon isn't in A+ to start next year, I will be confused.
  8. Mike Sixel
    How is saying "he gives us a better chance to win", not saying he was better for that moment? I don't know how else to parse that phrase.
  9. Mike Sixel
    why the bleep did he change again? I don't get it.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well, the cubs players ARE contributing, not MIGHT contribute next year......that's a pretty big difference, isn't it?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Admittedly, not everyone, but a lot of people thought it was worth rolling the die on Hughes......now, rolling the dice on Hughes, Nolasco, and Santana, that was not as popular. Each decision, on its own, might have merit. All three? Not so sure.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Polanco is your 2B if dozier is gone, not Rosario, imo.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Whatever they are trying.......it isn't working with Arcia, unfortunately. I thought he'd be here all year, and be a 105 OPS guy....... I really think moving him out of RF was a bad idea, but I can't prove that caused all this.....nor can I prove sending him down while he was hot caused this, nor can I prove not calling him back up when healthy caused this, but I can wonder.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I don't think that is a logical conclusion, actually. This is a small sample size, I don't think we can conclude there is a process issue here for sure........
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm willing to concede, so we don't have to argue over and over, that it is year 3.....but I could argue it is 4.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ryan has signed a lot of FAs the last few years, just not well enough. I'm sure I'm missing a lot here..... Santana Hughes Nolasco Suzuki (twice) Pelfrey (twice) Hunter Correia lots of RPs Robinson? He also traded for Milone, May, Meyer, Jepsen, Nunez, Escobar.....of course, none of those are trading prospects for players, it is the opposite.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    making May a set up guy makes no sense. He's a legit starting candidate. given this is ANOTHER LOST year......he 100% should be in the rotation right now, so they gather more data on him as a starter. Anyone think they will do that?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I was unaware that this SP staff was full of young players.......Sano and Hicks are about the only ones even hitting right now. I'm not sure what you mean.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not really hindsight, frankly, since many people said it was a bad idea at the time.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Fair.....thanks for the perspective. Houston has zero starters over 30. they have 1 who is even 29 this year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Doesn't seem like the younger players are the issue here, does it?
  22. Mike Sixel
    why? Explain why it is a good idea to keep a bad player on the roster. You are paying the same money, is it better to keep running out a below replacement level player, and pay him, or cut him, and pay him, and put out a good player?
  23. Mike Sixel
    blah, blah, blah......... Signing Mauer was something that HAD to be done. Most popular Twin, new stadium, looked like a lock for HoF. come one people...... That said, what matters now? What matters now is what they do with him going forward. There really is only 1 good choice.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Except they aren't playing the young guys........ did you know that on the entire roster, only three will be under 26 next year? Three......on a team in it's third year of rebuilding........that's not playing young guys. That's not even close.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Mr. Speaker? Mr. Speaker! I'd like to amend my vote please.......
