    I also found that part odd...... Was mostly pointing out what was said today, made all the more depressing by his opinion of Jepsen, frankly.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think he's claiming it is a young team because those 5 are young......not that it is too many......
  3. Mike Sixel
    My point was.....they didn't decide, he did. And, I think they'll defer to him on deciding on how much he plays next year also. Hope to be wrong....

    That one is missing IPA day.....so no f'n way. I've looked on Wikipedia (either no one from other countries updates it, or no other country is as silly as us), and http://www.thenibble.com/fun/more/facts/food-holidays.asp , but that one had IPA day wrong......I just started this idea yesterday. Haven't decided what the SoT is yet. I do love "national grab some nuts day" as a name though. Sorry I missed that one, well, sorry my wife missed that one......

    Uh, Mauer approached them about moving, they didn't ask him to move. Unless I misread every single report.

    This from today's BA chat: Jaypers413 (IL): Thanks for the chat, Matt. Do you think what the Rays got back in return for Jepsen qualifies as a steal? (i.e. Tapia & Hu) Matt Eddy: IMO just freeing up payroll and a 25-man roster spot would have been a winning return for a mediocre, 30-year-old reliever. Instead, the Rays got a command-oriented starter prospect (Chih-Wei Hu) and a raw-armed wild card (Aleix Tapia) whose floor appears to be Kevin Jepsen.

    Uh, you are in Chicago, right? I might be there next month for dinner, I'll call you.

    I guess it clears up 3B for their new 30 year old rookie 3B also....... I still like this for CLE. Cut costs in the future (by taking on extra money this year), so you can sign players if you want. And, a 2 for 1 on bad deals......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Thou shalt not lie is apparently one of those optional parts, despite it being quite clearly stated......
  10. Mike Sixel
    They deferred to him on the catching thing, and showed no courage as an organization. I don't see how that changes with playing time. This is up to Mauer, imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    CLE sheds two bad contracts for 1 bad contract. I like that math for them for next year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    What the heck is ATL doing?
  13. Mike Sixel
    that was funny, I had some lines too, but was trying not to be too political. Nicely done.
  14. Mike Sixel
    heh.....nope.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Roster full of 22-25 year olds? Are we talking about the Twins? Of the 13 pitchers, May and Graham are 25, and Graham will be in the minors next year. Both will be 26 next year. Sano is the lone infielder under 26. Hicks is 25, and Rosario is 23.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Unofficially, Raspberries 'N Cream day. Or lighthouse day, but it is hard to eat an entire lighthouse. OTOH, there is a lighthouse brewing......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Mauer being below replacement level isn't forcing the issue? If Buxton or Kepler are here or ready next year......or both......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Obviously, big fan of the dalai lama.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Another year of non-contention.....ugh. But ya, w/o some kind of overhaul, I think good is much more likely than contender next year.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Interestingly, an atheist friend of mine said I shouldn't call this "non believer"....since there is belief here. I'm still not all comfy being public about atheism.....or I wouldn't have used the euphemism.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Tough call, frankly. I think Plouffe will be traded, but that wasn't an option....... So, Sano at DH 100 games, Plouffe at 3B those games, and vice versa the other 62 games. Except between the two of them, they'll get about 20 games at 1B, imo. Mauer gets the rest.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Vanimal!!!!!! I called yesterday, so excited I got through two days in a row. Do you regret starting this show, and now fee compelled to show up?
  23. Mike Sixel
    You choose to make those actions "jerky". There is literally nothing inherently, in their very existence, that makes them "jerky". It is all on you deciding they are jerky. 100%, your decision inside your head. I have no problem throwing inside, I have tons of problems intentionally hitting someone.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Amen.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Corriea....best SS in al of baseball meets your criteria mostly (well, he played AAA this year, and didn't skip it like Buxton did). Sano, I believe, meets most of your criteria. Go look at the lists if you want to know the answers to your questions, more than you think.
