    Uh, that's not what he said at all.....He said "it depends on what you mean by character"......no place did he say "conservatives are bad/wrong/evil". No place did he say that.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Right, it won't be talent or anything else, it will be all about leadership and veteranieness.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I believe in culture and leadership and character, I do. I believe they have an effect on outcomes, absolutely..........But to say that Kemp leaving and replacing him with a guy that looks like ROY material, and pure baseball awesomeness is not as important as losing his Kemp's personality? You can make points about culture and leadership all you want, but you can't say it is Kemp leaving, and ignore who they replaced him with, that is the explanation.....which is the implication.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Wait, the Dodgers are better off w/o Kemp, not because Joc Pederson is AWESOME at baseball? It isn't about the TALENT they replaced him with? Not at all? Not even partially as much as the Kemp personality and the fact he isn't close to good at defense at all? Really? It isn't about talent?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that why the FO types get paid, to do that? But like I said, if that's the plan, which is fine, then people shouldn't complain when they don't get value for the bad ones (oh, and the team needs to be willing to move on from their mistakes......).
  6. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I was talking in general. Pinto and Arcia have almost no value right now, unless some other team thinks either can defend........
  7. Mike Sixel
    this is another reason to trade some prospects sooner rather than later. Or, just realize that you aren't going to get ANY value out of the ones that don't work. MOST prospects do nothing at the MLB level, yet people hoard them, even when their payroll is low, because they might be good and they are cheap. If you wait to see which ones are good, you can't exactly deal the rest of them.
  8. Mike Sixel
    They have aren't exactly flush with hitters below AA either......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Funny, I read here all the time how much better Buxton was, and how Houston messed up that draft, even if they did get another guy or so out of it. As a matter of fact, it was posted on a draft thread just recently that they'll find a way to mess it up like they always do. If things fall "just right", they could get 3 top 10ish prospects today.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    and this thread isn't about that at all. Why come into a thread about the future, and complain that people are talking about the future?
  11. Mike Sixel
    which is one reason to call them up sooner, rather than later, but I digress.
  12. Mike Sixel
    They are totally ruining their future by rushing these guys. Not one of them has shown consistency at all. None of them have force the Astros hand. I am confused by this trend.
  13. Mike Sixel
    they always say that, then they can say "we are so glad he fell, didn't think we'd get a guy like this".....
  14. Mike Sixel
    This I can get behind completely.
  15. Mike Sixel
    This is a thread about that, if you don't want to discuss, why bother coming in and being mean to the OP? Locks: Mauer, Ervin Santana, Dozier, Perkins, Hughes, Suzuki Should be a lock but I am not sure they agree given Sano: Plouffe Probably: Escobar (no idea why, but they love him), Gibson, May Good chance: Nolasco 50/50 imo: Rosario, Hicks, Hunter (I smell an extension coming), Vargas
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess you couldn't get much more than a BP arm for him right now, so don't deal him now. They have a ton of RP in the minors, I can't behind dealing Arcia for one. That said, I would not be shocked if he's not part of the future....... Buxton, Hicks, Rosario, Arcia, Walker, Kepler, Sano (s/b in RF or 1B or DH imo), Hunter (extension soon, I'd bet), and maybe more are all potentially there......
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd bet we hear talk of an extension soon......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Are people arguing that Vargas learned a skill in 10 or so days in AAA? Sending Santana down was an obvious move. Glad it was done. Now about that bullpen. ......
  19. Mike Sixel
    When I complained about the minors not helping last year, people said I should calm down, May, Santana and Vargas came up. Now May came up this year, Vargas is in AAA, and Santana is predictably not so good. This year the FO would rather have Stauffer and Duensing on the roster than other options.
  20. Mike Sixel
    May wasn't up last year? Your post implied there were not eve RP options better than Duensing or Stauffer, or I may have read that wrong and it was about something else when you said there were not better options. There better be options better than them......
  21. Mike Sixel
    The top three farm system hasto nothing offer?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Duensing and Stauffer have been bad for over a year.....and yet, here they remain. There is really no good reason either is here. None.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Most people on the planet thought he should be at SS last year, if that was the future plan. For some reason, he was not.
  24. Mike Sixel
    So keep Sano down for 2 or 3 years while Plouffe is a top 10 3B? Makes no sense. No one on this thread is arguing he should not play if he is up. I am arguing he should be in RF or 1B or DH, because his value is his bat. Imo, waiting for Plouffe to not be good ..... why not try to get them on the field together. And the only 22 part? Elite players are up at 22 or 23.....not 25.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If you can't handle criticism, you probably should not be in a leadership role for your own health.
