    Does anyone have a theory on why the Twins are punting DH?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Except he plays first base. Compare him to other first basemen, and Joe looks quite bad.
  3. Mike Sixel
    When was he good as a reliever? Because looking at his stats, I don't see it.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that what we were promised 1-2 weeks ago, that when Fien came up, Stauffer would be gone, and we would all forget keeping him over a hitter?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Read Kiley's article.....not short pitchers, short pitchers that the industry generally loves. KLAW's bias is founded in years of history showing that most short RH pitchers don't work out.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sigh......I specifically asked for kittens or flowers.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Look at his results as a RP the last few years.....replacement level. You know, the kind of guy a normal team sends back and forth between the majors and AAA, not the kind they pay lots of money and keep around .
  8. Mike Sixel
    I predict potentially scary things in this thread if there is a cancellation tonight. Someone should post kitten or flower pictures maybe.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Both good points......which is why I posted the question about number of pitchers just above * *likely a cross post, for sure Go Twins!
  10. Mike Sixel
    Begging the question why they have so many pitchers right now.
  11. Mike Sixel
    If Tonkin isn't good enough to beat Stauffer, why do they care if they lose him? Giving away roster spots is bad practice. They have no DH, and they clearly have some RP that should not be in MN. Pretty much this whole board said the logical thing was to get rid of Stauffer. I agree with the poster above, this shows, imo, that Ryan is not above criticism, and appears to have some kind of blind spot. Good enough to face the heart of the Boston roster, not good enough to beat Stauffer.* *I've typed and deleted about 5 rants now......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Baffling. Truly baffling. He's good enough to face the meat of the Boston order, but not to beat out Stauffer. 10000000 dollars says no beat writer pushes on this.
  13. Mike Sixel
    VETERANS THAT MAKE MONEY FOR THE WIN!
  14. Mike Sixel
    I guess, and I am not saint on this topic, I don't see how it moves the conversation forward (nor can I believe the comment on "he doesn't like anything".
  15. Mike Sixel
    What is "ready"? by the time they "prove" they are ready, which they can't......they will be in their mid-20s or older. You promote people just before they are ready. You promote them when you need them. You promote them to challenge them. You promote them for lots of reasons other than waiting until they somehow prove something they can't prove. Arcia can hit MLB pitching, the question is, should he also be playing the field on a team that might be contending? I vote no. Either he or Vargas should DH until Sano comes up, imo.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Would we tolerate this kind of discussion of Terry Ryan, or a poster, and make assumptions about their motives and what kind of human being they were/are? Because we've certainly been discouraged from doing this in the past.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    He can definitely come across as smug at time, agreed. I'd rather listen to a smart smug guy than about 90% of tv sports' announcers. Others' mileage may vary on that.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's "easy" to picture 40 HRs in a year? No, not even from Sano or Stanton or anyone else.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd prefer they keep Rosario up here, defense and a bit of bat (unlike Hicks, who has no bat). I'd prefer either Vargas or Arcia or Pinto at DH over anyone else (except Hunter) they are using right now. Frankly, I'd call up Sano to DH in about 2 weeks, and skip right over Vargas and Arcia. I'd probably call up Buxton too. Send down Hicks, cut Nunez. But, having Pinto, Arcia, and Vargas mash AAA pitching, while their MLB DH are awful? Hate that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Except that whole Berrios thing, and all the other times in chats he admits he was wrong.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't think is at all that he "can't handle disagreement", I think he has a different approach to talking than you do. And no, he doesn't dislike everything, that's unbelievably inaccurate. Try reading his blog.......it's mindboggling that anyone could think what you typed is true.
  22. Mike Sixel
    It means you REALLY want a high OBP player in front of him......BADLY.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I've been saying early to mid-june since the year started.....If I wasn't working, it would have been much more EXTREME!, but I was sort of listening to that last call....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Kiley calls him this year's black swan, KLAW finds him over rated by most everyone.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The GM does not make the pick, does he? Isn't the that head scout's job?
