    More that they are read, but don't generate much commentary. to the point of the article, very nicely written. Thanks.
  2. Mike Sixel
    If they are worried about team control with a guy that was a decent, but not even good prospect, they are worried about the wrong things.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I understand the flexibility thing.....in the meantime, they passed on having someone on the roster that could possibly help them (because, let's face it, odds were high he was going on the DL, weren't they?).
  4. Mike Sixel
    It impacted one day of pitching.....but that roster spot could have been used on a hitter.

    Jeremy typed this: "We know what TR thinks." I was asking about that, nothing more or less.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Chafee reads like an old skewl moderate Republican.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Our hubris is astounding
  8. Mike Sixel
    we know what TR wants to do?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Should have put Nolasco on the DL right away, and called up a player earlier. Same old, same old.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, that is an issue for me. But if both parties are doing that, then I look at the next list of freedoms. I don't pick between them based on what they both do that is the same.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It is a terrible, terrible strategy. Not one person that used to work in a FO that is now on Fangraphs or ESPN or mlb.com or anywhere says anything but how bad of an idea this is. What if all those guys next year need TJ, and the draft isn't strong? How do you keep the pipeline of elite talent full, if you delay a year?
  12. Mike Sixel
    $2MM is not veterans making money money for a starting pitcher........it just isn't. that's not even arbitration level money.
  13. Mike Sixel
    It is not important for bench players to play every day, which is what this plan does......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Right, no one claims he, he becomes a FA I think. Then he is signed for the minimum, and the Twins pay the rest. I am about 80% sure that's how it works out. I predict they send down a pitcher that is clearly better, and keep up the VETERANS THAT MAKE MONEY.

    "if everyone else does his job, it doesn't matter if he does".......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Only if you are willing to trade them......and do so before they lose value.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There is zero chance Arcia is Super 2 money dude in any way that matters to this team. It's about something else, like loving Escobar for some reason, or not liking something in Arcia's approach. Frankly, it is the sum of the decisions I have an issue with, not each individual one. There isn't room for this many DH/1B/OF types, so pick one and promote him, and let the others "develop", but please stop DHing (and 1Bing) guys that can't put up an OPS over 600 or 700.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Well, one wants to limit freedom (other than guns)......that's the litmus test for me, because I mostly agree with your assertion about the economy.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Didn't he change the FB mix, for some reason? If so, I'd go back to last year's mix.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Like me.....I was a very active moderate Republican, even asked to run for the state house by the then Republican speaker and future governor....... You can call Clinton what you want, but he was a Democrat.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Well, let's look at budget deficits under the Bush's vs Clinton and Obama? Or maybe compare MN to WI the last 5 years? I should have just left that part out, and left in how Jenner and bicyclists will eventually lead to our downfall......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Uh......actually, you and chief don't agree.....he doesn't want the Eduardos in the lineup. Your plan keeps them in the lineup. Nearly every day, even though they can't hit at all. Not a lick.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Clearly it is Caitlyn Jenner and how she is going to cause the downfall of society. that, or bicyclists. It boggles my mind that people can't sit back and look at outcomes produced, and see which party actually produces more jobs, more income, more freedom (other than guns), and succeeds more on pretty much any measure they want to lay out there.
  24. Mike Sixel
    right.......which is going to be a problem (heck, I'd say it is a problem already this year)
  25. Mike Sixel
    I don't think he makes it to them. If he does, they should take him, and put him in Ft. Meyers.
