    Everyone is looking at a different Trevor Plouffe than you are. Everyone.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I didn't really have a problem with Mauer sitting. Not sure why anyone did, really.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope note.......unless not winning next year isn't the top priority, Buxton should be up.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Thanks! Good news.
  5. Mike Sixel
    so, you think if he does poorly in his first start, they'll move May or Berrios in? What it likely means is that Milone is still hurt, nothing more or less.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I hope it isn't the latter, that they are afraid.....the Yankees are starting their 21 YO phenom, not protecting him. Other teams have called up their phenoms, and aren't protecting them. If it really is fear, well, I'm tired of what looks like fear. So, I hope it isn't that latter....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Fair....I'd rather Duffey was in the pen, and May / Berrios were starting....but fair. It's not a horrible decision at all, just not the one I'd make.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I fear you are correct. Three more years of negative value from your 1B........and no C or SS on the horizon. It will be hard for this team to be serious competitors until 2 of those become just "not bad"......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Pelfrey has not been bad, agreed. Of course, he's not exactly been good either, and May could be, and will definitely be here.....and Berrios could be, heck, maybe even Duffey could be.....and yet, Pelfrey is in the rotation......
  10. Mike Sixel
    It would be a waste not to push him up next year, assuming he doesn't fall off a cliff here. In retrospect, Turner might have been a better pick for where this team is, but I still really like this pick a lot for the future.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Jimmy John's owner is a big game hunter, even killed a black rhino. Who here will stop going there? ( I don't go there, so this one is easy for me)
  12. Mike Sixel
    who is learning how hard it is to be major leaguers? Rosario and Sano? That's it for first year players, right?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Fair.....and Sano could do that, but it hasn't even been a month, has it? I love Sano, so glad they went over their normal budget that year to get Sano, Kepler, and Polanco.......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Where did I say Sano wasn't great? People are arguing about Bryant not being great...... You are arguing that Sano is better than Bryant, not me. I'm saying there is no evidence that's true. Bryant is playing in the field, Sano is DHing. Bryant is stealing bases, is Sano? Why is calling Bryant great some kind of slam on Sano? Can't they both be great? Minnesotans and their inferiority complex......
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure what projecting his career has to do with whether or not he was awesome last year, this year, and is likely to be next year. He's awesome right now. He was very good / awesome last year. I expect him to be very good / awesome next year. If good to elite defense and 20+ HRs from your 2B isn't enough for some people to agree he's awesome / elite, no skin off my nose. I know his value.
  16. Mike Sixel
    If you ignore base running and defense, sure.......
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm not ignoring anything. This team is neither going all in to compete, or building for the future. They are standing in place, like they always do during the season. Here is what has happened in the time Ryan has been GM, that he's accountable for.....that matters past this year: Hughes Santana Nolasco Suzuki May Meyer In 3-4 years, he's added 2-3 players that are good when they matter, and 2-4 that are bad. What exactly should make me excited about that? You can say they aren't ignoring their weaknesses, but I can only judge based on the fact that Nunez has DH'd recently, they added a mediocre bullpen arm, and finally cut Santana after 3 months of being awful. I can only judge on actions, since I can't see the process. I don't see that as really doing much of anything, either for this year, or next year. That's my opinion, not a fact.....but I doubt I'm the only one with that opinion.
  18. Mike Sixel
    And if Duffey starts 2-3 games, and not one?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, not one of those guys looks certain to be better than bottom 5 at their position, do they?
  20. Mike Sixel
    No one is held accountable here, let's be honest with ourselves.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If only one of the best ones in baseball had been a FA recently, and available for any team with lots of money to buy......oh, wait, he was.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I didn't for a moment believe they were going to play games in the fall that mattered the last two years, I put zero credibility into his baseball comments. Like I said, I thought it was Ryan. I guess this year we can finally judge him on his comments. They are coming close to not playing meaningful games this fall.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Didn't need him. they won a lot in the first half, ergo, no changes were needed. Or something like that.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I just want some answers.......
  25. Mike Sixel
    there is zero reason to trade Dozier right now. Zero. He's a top 20 player in the majors. He's not slowing down. Zero, really, really, really bad idea.
