    Thanks for the update. The time for Buxton is now, imo.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Bottom 5 first baseman, whatever that line looks like. Maybe worse. You have to consider benching him later this year, imo. And I loved watching him hit. Very sad.

    They were lucky to win before. instead of building on that luck, they are standing still. If you all think rookies need to acclimate, why not this year, so they are ready next year? Or is next year the acclimation year, and more lising, and we wait until 2017?

    Here is an idea....compare the outcomes of budgets, surpluses, spending, and job creation the last 5 years in MN vs WI, when we went different ways at governor, and tell me which produced better results.....then explain why you like Walker. Just concentrate on outcomes....not if he can get votes, since that is a complete abandonment of principle......for fun, you could also compare which increased freedoms in his state, and which decreased them, and which cuts funding for any group opposed to him, while increasing funding for those that agree with them (and, which busted unions that don't support him, while not touching those that do).....and tell me which is more principled, and which is not all the principled, but is a politician.....

    Thanks! Nine teams with 13 pitchers, that's 2-3 more than I expected. It is interesting that 2/3 are in the NL, now, you need more pitchers if you have to PH, but you also need someone to PH, not sure how the balance works out..... Four of the other 12 have SP WAR better than MN (I guess that means 8 have worse), if I did my quick glance correctly.....not sure what that means either.

    How can they be 4 years into a rebuild, and not have anyone to put on the bench by now?
  7. Mike Sixel
    how is that relevant at all?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Any good theories on the 13 pitchers? They don't seem to need that many, given the quality of the starters. They have zero PH options at all......what will they do in NL parks, PH pitchers? How many other teams are carrying 13 pitchers, are we all just confused, and most others are doing the same? I am boggled on the whole approach to the roster construction around the bullpen and bench this year. Anyone?

    Duensing is not a knee jerk reaction, of the 230+ relief pitchers who pitched 10 or more innings, he was bottom 30.....more than 200 RP were better than him last year, and many of those weren't only brought in situations where they were supposed to have a huge advantage...... If I was GM, if I thought we were rebuilding, I'd promote guys faster, and have them all grow here together, and not wait for some perfect confluence to happen 1-3 years out. I'd certainly have 4 RP, 2 in AAA and 2 in MN, that could go back and forth as they got tired/ineffective, not fill my bullpen with old guys w/o options that aren't good.

    But, but, bias!
  11. Mike Sixel
    If you get tossed when you can still win.....and are replaced with a much worse player for 6 innings, does that help or hurt your team? Do people think after this the ump would be better for 6 innings?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Good point Nick. He wasn't all that good last year. They have lots of young arms, but signed him. It was inexplicable then.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I voted yes.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I don't recall him being good in 2014. He had the 12th worst WAR of any RP who pitched 50 or more innings, out of over 130......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Joe is a huge problem, but I already was chastised once today for bringing that up in a thread that wasn't about him.......as is Suzuki. Two biggest black hoes if you don't move Sano or give Kepler a shot.....and not idea what to do at catcher.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Cool. I was actually posting my first comment from his chat. Said similar things in the pay article. Btw, if you are a draft fan, and are not paying, why not?* *that sentence is aimed at any of reading this, not the poster above
  17. Mike Sixel
    Was thinking a minor league guy would even be good for me. But ya. ....I just don't have a good answer for catcher
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't usually copy a whole section of pay content. Ya, he hates the Twins......
  19. Mike Sixel
    The argument seems to be, don't make CF better until you fix other problems first? That's not how baseball works, or any business. They aren't related at all.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And their current DHs can't even manage replacement level........
  21. Mike Sixel
    Unsignable, right?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Cut Stauffer, call up any AAA pitcher you want. Cut Duensing, call up any AAA pitcher you want. try to find a catcher available you can deal for, that doesn't cost anyone better than Kepler...... In 2 weeks or so, cut Nunez, call up Sano to DH, 1B, 3B send down Vargas (assuming he's not dominating), call up random guy, not sure whom send down one of the RP, call up Buxton. Buxton in CF, Rosario in LF, Hunter in RF (except when he DH's, put Hicks in RF then) Promote Berrios to AAA in about 2 weeks Promote Hu

    KLAW likes Cabbage better than Blankenthorn according to his chat today. He also commented on Kendrik having one tool.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Except last year's stats and this year's disagree that he is AAAA, no matter how often you say it.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Hicks is terrible with the bat, of course Buxton should be better than that.
