    And what to do with Plouffe then? And rush is a loaded word, if he is ready and can help a contender.....how is that rushing? They are going to have to decide soon if they want Plouffe and Sano on the same roster. I do. No idea why someone would not.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Who penciled him in? He should be getting reps at RF and 1B, if they are serious about this year imo. Since he isn't, not sure where he plays this year, maybe DH. Or the minors all year.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why are the Twins the only ones that think Duensing can pitch? This is not rocket science.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Awesome.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I was going to ask about 6 for 6, then I realized this was games in MN......
  6. Mike Sixel
    One is a CF, one is a 1B. Also.....why would one only look at BA?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Sano could be your 1B by July. That might make this team a lot better. Kepler or Sano next year could be ready. Off the top of your head, if his name wasn't Mauer, would you rather have him or Sano at 1B the second half of this year, and then next year? I agree, he's probably not going anywhere, which is what makes it a problem, imo.

    Spotted Cow=most over rated beer EVAR!

    I don't understand what in Escobar's minor or major league performance suggests he "deserves" a chance. He hasn't earned any benefit of the doubt.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Pay has zero to do with the fact he can't hit compared to other 1B for the past year+. Nothing. And, no one on this entire thread is suggesting he catch, not sure why people are arguing against that.....since no one is arguing for it.
  11. Mike Sixel
    This year it is partly about somehow clustering hits (and errors by opponent directly leading to runs, not just runners). I don't recall last year. Also, Plouffe, Dozier, and Hunter can hit. But the number of runs is partly driven by clustering.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Except I'm not talking only about 1 stat, all of the offensive work matters, not just OBP. Compared to other 1B, he's been bad. I really don't know how that is even up for debate right now, so I'll probably just make this my last post on this in this thread.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Last year happened. Mauer's numbers are not fine, you can't just cherry pick 10 games. Just go to your favorite site, and compare him to other 1B for the last year plus. Offensively, compare him.
  14. Mike Sixel
    How long does something last before it is a trend-----it's over a year now? Also, the hitters after him can't drive him in if he's not base. You need to look at both sides of that run producing equation, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Most people here agree most of the time.....and yet we yell at each other too much.

    This is an issue with most humans, they really have a hard time accepting randomness being the absolute norm of existence. On the scale of activity we are looking at, each individual outcome is more random than we want to admit. People always look for someone or something to "blame" when a car accident happens, or when the economy goes up or down, or even a 1 day change in the stock market. But for most every THING that happens*, it is fairly random. *thing, not things. once we get enough things, we can reasonably well predict what is LIKELY to happen, but not what WILL happen. Luck and randomness really rule individual events. Like a hit ball missing the glove of an infielder by an inch, or a put lipping out, or an ump missing a call......all random. And, our brains don't like that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That and I hate quoting super long posts, so it is 50/50 our issue. Have a great day, doc.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Was it not obvious I was replying to the post above, with a whole paragraph on luck.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I agree that is likely, Seth. Which is why I think it is reasonable to exclude it from the Molitor list.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Probably, yes. Orioles fans for years said they weren't lucky to win all those 1 run games.......and then the year they didn't win any, they ummmmm, they stopped talking at all. Dozens of years of baseball data exist, to deny that there is luck involved in most any outcome is just denial.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It would be October, and I would have moved to the Pacific NW by now.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think this is probably the most right assessment of the situation.
  23. Mike Sixel
    KLAW is not predicting he won't go in round 1, but he can't figure out which team will pay him.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    While the thread is meant as a joke......the truth in it is a real bummer. Really big bummer. Ginormous bummer.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The Mauer thing is really going to cost this club in the coming years, unless they are much braver than I expect them to be. Of all the things you list, the Escobar one is the one I get the least. He has zero track record to rely on, to think he should be an everyday player. I really struggle to understand this one. Clearly I agree on the preference for veterans, just look at the bullpen.....which you didn't even mention (since it isn't clear if that is Molitor or Ryan, probably).
