    Re:streaky players....if at the end of the year you have good year long stats, are you less valuable if those came in streaks of great for 3 weeks and bad for 3 weeks than a guy that was good most weeks, but rarely in a great streak? Do we know he is really streaky, and we aren't using arbitrary dates?

    If Sano helps by 2 wins, and Buxton by 2 wins, and anyone but Stauffer and Duensing adds 2 wins, and and and.....that's how you win, by adding wins at many positions.

    My apologies. Yes, Plouffe is struggling. And, I did read it, I thought you were just commenting on part of it (and including Mauer threw me off, I admit it). I will be bummed if Plouffe reverts, he seems like a guy that had figured it out.

    I don't understand how having him DH from July on hurts his long term development permanently, I just don't understand that. Plus, I think everyone would agree that a game a week at 3B would make sense also......though I'd still move him to 1B now.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I thought this was a post about the lack of hitting in the meat of the order.......isn't Mauer part of that (along with Plouffe and others)? I stand by my contention, the issues stem from the roster makeup, and not really having more than 2 legit MLB hitters right now that people can count on, maybe three. Dozier, Hunter, Plouffe are it, relative to the other players at their positions. That's it. This isn't, imo, about Plouffe's slump, it is about the roster.

    Veteran placeholders that are among the worst at their job in all of baseball for sure....... Of relievers who have pitched 10 or more innings......over 200 have been better than Duensing this year, and over 220 have been better than Stauffer (only 4 have been worse than Stauffer). It is hard to believe that the minors have zero people better than that. Zero, apparently.

    pointing out that Correa missed most of last season, like Buxton, is a rip on the Twins how? I guess my point is, there is room for both to be great players, and I don't get the need to denigrate the Astros on this site, since it seems to have worked out pretty well for them.
  8. Mike Sixel
    But, the minor league playoff spot is important too.........
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think it is "if", not when. We have multiple months of being awful, and both still have a job. For weeks people have been saying "just wait a week, it will change", and it hasn't. Somehow they have no RP in the minors that can be better than these guys, in their mind.
  10. Mike Sixel
    The issue for the middle of the order isn't one player.......but yes, Plouffe has struggled. Mauer is a major issue for this team, like, going to really hurt them for years. They have chosen to carry 13 pitchers, and love Escobar for some reason. To me, those and Mauer are the real issues here. The odd roster construction and Mauer's current skill set are the real issues.

    I would put him in FM as a reliever. If he is great for a month, promote him to AA. Probably shut him down after another month or so. Next year, send him to either CR or FM as a starter, probably CR.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Only Terry Ryan can open that door.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I like the high upside HS hitters and Jay picks. I am less certain of the tall pitcher......
  14. Mike Sixel
    If your stats are this bad as a situational guy, wouldn't it be better to just use a righty? He is a good guy, but that's no reason to keep him on the roster. I am disappointed in the FO for him and Stauffer being on the roster.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Appeal to authority, one of my favorites.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Can anyone offer a rational reason for him being on any MLB roster?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Wasn't Bard hurt before he was drafted? I think another guy was too, but I am sort of paying attn. to this work meeting.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Jay ahead of Stewart for me right now. And it bums me out to type that. Tall pitchers make me nervous. I have no idea what to rank Cody
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not if he never plays OF in the minors.....or 1B in the minors....that's kind of our point. His value is tied to his BAT, imo Plouffe is good at his job, they should be looking at what else Sano could do, and training him for that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough. I'll stop. I don' think this last guy is ABW, ABW is pretty athletic, isn't he?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Great point......I agree completely. My guess is they'd move Escobar to 3B, and call up a SS.......which would make me sad (if baseball actually made me sad).
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd like the strategy more if the FO would follow up on that, and actually use their AAA and AA RP in the majors, but they want veterans, so I don't get the strategy all that much. And, none of them have made the majors yet. For the person talking about the "complaining" (I prefer discussion), we are talking about a three year trend, not 1 pick.
  23. Mike Sixel
    none of those were college RP, right? We aren't arguing a point we aren't making......
  24. Mike Sixel
    When one of these guys works out, for multiple years at the MLB level, there will be evidence that they should have the benefit of the doubt. And, I don't think they are top 3 because of the picks of RP, do you?. But like I said, they are either genius, or really wrong. I don't know which yet.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If you never trade anyone on the tiny chance they could be an all star, you never trade anyone. And if you only trade guys who have no chance, you may as well not.
