    Why do people think they want Escobar to get going so badly? Does he have a track record that suggests that is likely?
  2. Mike Sixel
    good point. I should not have come.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I suggested the Escobar for Santana thing some time ago. I wish I had been more wrong.
  4. Mike Sixel
    That was my order also, given who I think will be there......

    I fail to see one person on this site that is not thrilled with the results so far. I would suggest that having an issue with critical thinking is probably not a problem with those doing the critical thinking along with their rooting/happiness for the results.
  6. Mike Sixel
    You are doing Fandom wrong. The irony is surely lost on the OP.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Process surely helps, but Butera probably had a good process at the plate. Talent matters in a physical sport, sometimes process just isn't enough. The article said that Hicks has been (past tense, right?) terrible. I guess if you look at his numbers, what is the debate about that comment? I'm willing to listen, if someone can provide me evidence that he has been anything else as a hitter.

    If the Twins are 10 games over .500 when trading starts.....they should NOT be punting on this year by trading a successful player.

    My son finds a way to watch GoT.....he loved that episode. I guess I'll see it in about 10 months.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to him. Big believer in challenging guys, and he just wasn't challenged right now.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Last year I was all over Gordon as my preference. This year? No idea. I chose Tate.
  12. Mike Sixel
    All the FAs seems to be doing a great job, almost all. Big Plouffe and Dozier fan, I want them extended (well, Brian already was), not dealt.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Uh, HIcks has been terrible at the plate. Is that even debatable? And no, the author does not prefer games be played on paper. Do you really believe that?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan. Going to a 6 or 7 man rotation, imo, is just delaying hard decisions. They have a lack of position players already. This won't help that, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I agree, that is the approach I expect also.
  16. Mike Sixel
    By the time they stop scoring runs.....how many games went the wrong way? There is no magic way to say when the luck will run out, why continue to rely on the luck, and not play the odds?* *note, I am not saying there aren't good reasons to keep them down, it is the last sentence I am responding to.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There is a new article up, very instructive on the odds of this continuing with the underlying numbers.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Typical jimmer, posting to another positive article......there is also a less positive one by Cameron out there.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Worst. Just promote Sano. Of all the veterans to trade for......ugh.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I buy the blu rays......I just have to wait.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Some days I wish I wasn't so cheap, and had HBO.......oh well.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If the system is super deep already, it probably makes sense to get more high end talent in, and then, as you say, see what HS kids will sign.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If I gather the comments correctly, here are the theories (ignoring all the comments about the FO people): They want Vargas to mature in his approach. Arcia is not healthy, and also needs a new approach. Pinto, we don't know, probably defense (must. bite. tongue.). They like Escobar (not sure what they like in the OF or at the plate) What worries me, this is the same GM that went with Rich Becker and Jason Tyner at DH.....and it makes me nervous we are on that path. All of those things are reasonable to want......but, imo, if this team is going to continue to win, they should probably not recreate the mistakes of the past. to those that actualy participated in the conversation, thanks.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Tall pitchers make me nervous. I'd probably pass on that one.... Aiken also makes me nervous. Given they don't have a 2nd rounder, I think you can't take the chance on also blowing your first rounder (it is all somewhat luck based, adding a bad injury in makes it worse, imo). I like Tate or Bregman or Allard there.
  25. Mike Sixel
    And defense matters for the DH?
