    Well.....other teams bring up SP to the bullpen earlier than now, or about now, so I'd go about a month ago.......especially since: Hughes, Gibson, Santana, Milone, May, Berrios are in front of Duffey, and Rogers and Duffey are about equal....... so, Duffey starts more than a game or 2 in the next 2 years if Milone is gone, someone else is hurt, Rogers or someone else has not passed him, and no pitchers have been brought in from the outside. Do we really think having a guy go to the bullpen for 2 months is going to ruin his shot at starting next year? Anyone?

    150 innings for a Minor Leaguer is the max they can do.......the rest, well, we don't agree on that at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    verducci effect is bunk. 100% no evidence it is true......Also, 130-140 is what a minor leaguer can do. Not sure what you are even saying. Plenty of other teams call up starters for a taste of the majors as a RP, then make them starters the next year. Even WS winners.....

    Well, Duensing was AWFUL last year....so I'm not sure I buy that....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Dave Cameron on Fangraphs is now wondering if it is a buyer's market for pitching......

    This article on Grantland is a fun read, about a company that helped start the stats revolution.....some of it reads just like you'd expect. http://grantland.com/features/2015-mlb-avm-systems-ken-mauriello-jack-armbruster-moneyball-sabermetrics/

    But they guys they KNOW suck should keep their jobs? It's a terrible use of resources. There's no way to "prove" you deserve a job in 6 innings. They need to base that decision on the last couple of year's of data......not 6 innings.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Meh, they aren't dealing Ervin Santana, and no one wants the other Santana. Not even sure why this is being discussed. It is more likely they trade for Tulo.......

    I liked the pick, still like the pick.......Gordon will play SS in the majors, and play it well. It just might take a bit too long for this team over the next 2 years.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    totally fair. That still leaves Duffey. And Oliveras. And Achter. And Rogers.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Two words:* Mind Boggling *unless he has a dead arm, and they just aren't telling us. Which, would be really bad, because he's young and he has pitched plenty of innings...... More words: Waste of his talent. I hate the way Molitor has used him and Graham. Hate it. It mirrors how they treat pitchers vs hitters though. Hitters come up from AA. Pitchers have to languish in AAA forever. I just don't get it.

    I don't understand the fear of using Duffey or Berrios in the 7th/8th. Just because they aren't "proven closers" doesn't mean they can't do the job. We are pretty sure the current guys can't (or aren't allowed for some reason) do the job, why not try something else?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't really see this as a dilemma. I see it as some kind of odd, stubborn, refusal to use their assets to help the MLB team.
  14. Mike Sixel
    KLAW likes the two players, and Kazmir is an injury risk......so not totally lopsided.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Why would the Brewers do that?
  16. Mike Sixel
    That is one scary good lineup..........................
  17. Mike Sixel
    Hicks fell again?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think they may have a 2B, now that I look.....

    Before he improved his k% this year, here is what Kiley wrote: 9. Trevor Story, SS Video: Story is the best of the four fringy middle infielders in this group as he’s an athlete with the ability to stick at shortstop that looked like an everyday guy at one point, but tinkering with his swing has contributed to the bat stalling out a bit at the upper levels. One scout questioned his ability to recognize spin and the consensus is there isn’t enough here offensively for more than a utility guy.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ironically, given his injury risk, I'd deal him if I could, for 3 guys I thought were MLB players.....Berrios, Polanco and someone? I'd do that if I was them. They are terrible right now....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Age and injury are the only thing that make it possible to get him, imo. If he was 2 years younger and healthy? No chance....
  22. Mike Sixel
    But I'd have Esco there.....so the negative WAR is zero nana nana, boo boo, I win! Sorry, on an awful work call, really needed to be silly for a second.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    But they have May and Berrios......and then in AAA they have two number 4/5 types when someone needs time off next year.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Fair question. And, if Arcia is not traded, he should be up now. He's out of options next year, so he's either here or gone....may as well see what you have.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Right, should be traded now.....
