    So, again , punt the season and give the finger to fans and the MLB players?
  2. Mike Sixel
    The way they treat makes it clear they do not value him as a MLB RP.
  3. Mike Sixel
    It seems obvious, but lots of things seem that way......how far do you extend the logic? 8 man rotation?
  4. Mike Sixel
    They also don't need a backend starter......they have Milone, Nolasco (sometimes) and Berrios all available, and Santana coming soon. That would be super odd to deal for, imo.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Ya, with Buxton and Sano (RF, I know, a fantasy) and Rosario and Hicks and Arcia and even Hunter.....why OF? They need a SS, C and 1B badly (or put Sano at 1B).* *I know, nothing is changing at 1B this year, but a guy can dream.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I think that's like the earth is flat, and I don't mean that as an insult......., it seems obvious, but it must not be real, otherwise teams would be doing it, and we'd see all kinds of internet articles about how this is the answer to injuries. I think you are making a ton of assumptions, and there is no evidence that it works......
  7. Mike Sixel
    OPS can be over .700? Who knew?
  8. Mike Sixel
    How long ago did you say that?13 days I hope......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Those are total red herring/straw man arguments.....NO ONE is arguing if they thought Mauer was going to be the awesomeist forever......it is a great use of a logical fallacy...... We are talking about him being BAD compared to other 1B, and probably bad compared to Sano, and maybe Kepler soon......
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'm assuming Buxton and Berrios are added either this year, or during next year, not after 2016....so it is 16 guys to be added effectively, not 14 to be added this/next year before next year ends........and, if any of these recent RP are brought up, they need to be added to the 40 man, or do people want to wait 3 more years for them to come up? Hence some of us wanting some guys traded, which isn't happening, I'd guess.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Is there actual evidence doing this would protect anyone's arm that is already used to throwing starter innings? I'm guessing ZERO, otherwise every team would do it.
  12. Mike Sixel
    If a minor league all star game is impeding his progress in any way, that is just stupid, and I have no issue typing that word...........so I hope you are wrong, and that's not why he is not in AAA or MLB.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Funny, I was just coming on to say I forgot that part before, congrats to Eades.
  14. Mike Sixel
    is there a shred of evidence that you shouldn't start a guy in the leadoff spot?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Bummer, I hate it when bad things happen to people...
  16. Mike Sixel
    ah, my bad, I thought you meant us all here .....kind of feel silly for the whole conversation now!
  17. Mike Sixel
    I was comparing him to 1B....but I guess 15th out of 23 1B last year (offense only part of WAR) isn't "bad", it's just not good either. The problem is, the delta between good and where he was is HUGE. He was closer to negative WAR on offense than he was the 10th best 1B last year......
  18. Mike Sixel
    too early to give up, not to early to be disappointed so far......but this is his 2nd year in life being dedicated to baseball. Next year, imo, is the year where it would make sense to either be thrilled, or quite worried.
  19. Mike Sixel
    so a random guy on the internet should reach out to minor league coaches and national scouts? is that realistic, in your mind?
  20. Mike Sixel
    who should those people talk to? I do agree, 1 game is nothing to draw a conclusion from.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    No one thought he'd be the greatest hitter forever, Seth.....I don't think anyone did. But he's bad, not even decent, the last year plus......did anyone expect that? The real important thing is, will the Twins make a hard decision or not?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ah, well, I think the salary and the idolization tell the story, but yes, I agree, he won't be benched any time soon.
  23. Mike Sixel
    1, Having all veterans with no options means you have no flexibility. It was a mistake from day 1. 2. He took up a 25 man roster spot, that could have gone to someone of use, that would maybe not supply negative value. Every roster spot matters, despite how this team has acted the last 4 years. we saw it last year, we see it this year. 3. If they are still rebuilding, as many here contend, the young guys should be up here, so they can gather data on them, Achter, Oliverous, Tonkin, x, y, z, should all get time here this year so they can sort things out. 4. If they are not rebuilding, then they certainly shouldn't keep someone around that long that is really bad. And, there is no reason to repeat the mistake with Duensing, who despite what people keep typing, was awful last year also.
  24. Mike Sixel
    No idea why people spout someone's career numbers, when they are clearly in decline.......by that logic, you'd never replace anyone that used to be good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    20 HR is A LOT OF HR in this day and age. Plouffe is still a top 10 3B in all of baseball this year, even with his slump. He was top 10 last year. I agree on Hicks and Mauer...... If you are going to have Sano and Plouffe in the lineup, I'd leave Plouffe at 3B, since he is playing good D right now......no need to weaken the defense. And, I'd love Sano at 1B right now, but the Twins don't have the guts to bench Joe.
