    Bummer for him. Good luck. Speedy recovery.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Like, a sacrifice fly is cool, but a ground out that drives in a run is not cool......why?
  3. Mike Sixel
    eliminate the "sacrifice" as a stat completely? An out is an out is an out? Maybe too simple.....

    In looking at BA..... 2010....one guy for more than 250K, as far as I can tell 2011....one guy for more than $400K, as far as I can tell 2012....one guy for big bucks, one guy for $500K, the rest under 250K 2013....one big guy, one guy for 550K If they signed a "pile" of 500-800K guys every year, plus a big signing, they'd go over.....

    Gausman is back in the rotation? Man, they have jerked him around a lot.......

    How does it promote religious freedom to restrict what other religions can do?

    All I know about deficits is they are bigger when Republicans are the President, and smaller when Democrats are. I've asked my Republican friends about that, they don't want to admit the facts, and come up with all kinds of excuses why, since 1980, that is how it has been.

    Ugh. Raiser your hand if you like that idea better than Pelfrey?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Escept there is no evidence it helps......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Given that some guys get millions, and others 100K.....it is clear that teams feel there are talents they are much more confident in. Given that those guys are usually the ones in and around the top 20 lists, I feel pretty good working off the lists. YMMV, of course.
  11. Mike Sixel
    What evidence, other than the Mets who have almost all young arms that have never pitched many innings, do we see of this evolution to 6 man rotations?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I can live with that, assuming they eventually act.
  13. Mike Sixel
    So, after 3 months, we are sure they are all the same, and will decide after 1-2 more starts what to do, based on those 1-2 more starts? Hmmmmm.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Bummer. There's one team the Twins can't deal for space with......I hope they aren't waiting this out.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I would rather 5 guys in the top 20, I agree.......well, I'd rather they had gone way over 2-3 years ago, and done what the Cubs did this year, but that's the past. With an impending draft, I'm not super annoyed they aren't doing what I'd do, but I'm not thrilled with the strategy the last few years. Until we see what happens this year, I won't judge it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Unsure.....about the future. For the present? I'd say Escobar, with Polanco in AAA. I don't think Santana will ever be the SS of the future, but since they need more data on Polanco, I think he should be in AAA now. Btw, why do other teams promote their best hitters to AAA before calling them up?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Then what? At some point, you have to actually make a decision......
  18. Mike Sixel
    that hasn't been the Twins' strategy though.......it has been 1 - 2 guys for more than $250K, and then a bunch of cheaper guys. You are calling for 5 guys in the top 20......they've only signed 1 most years, right? Miguel Cabrera signed how many years ago? That's not even a real number now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I was responding to a post......and didn't say they would do it any place in that post.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Where does it stop? 7 man rotation? 10 man rotation? If the logic is "less use, stretched out more is good" where does that logic stop? There are only 24 spots on the bench, this creates issues.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Uh, McDaniel is a former professional scout, and highly respected writer. I'm pretty sure he understands what he's typing.
  22. Mike Sixel
    So great to see Wimmers' name back up there!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Congrats. Looking forward to seeing Rogers in MN soon as your LOOGY. Or maybe just good RP. Unsure if they Twins will ever give Achter a real shot.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Given what Escobar did last year.....and Santana is doing this year? Escobar should be your SS in MN, Polanco in Rochester, and Santana in AA (or traded for whatever).
  25. Mike Sixel
    Others that make more than $250 or $300K (whatever the limit is)? Are there any left?
