    no, they need to be patient, and make sure he is consistent, and that he is 100% ready before promoting him. Otherwise his career may be over and ruined.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Not the rest of the piece, that's harsh.

    Not sure why we are debating the rule, it is the rule.......the OP has a great question, "should this change the roster construction/trade decisions?". It's a great question, and I think the answer is "no". With Berrios and others in the wings, I think they should role with Santana and not worry about other players on or off the roster. I think. That said, it is does beg the question "does Berrios need to come up sooner, to see if he's ready for the playoffs" than they otherwise would plan.

    Oh, I agree, that is a very shallow pool. To me the issue I disagree with is posts saying that somehow having one of the worse players at a position is not an issue. Frankly, I'm much more interested in Sano coming up to DH, and Buxton coming up to play CF, and some RP coming up. But of all the positions where they have no depth, imo, C is that position....... I do think Susac will be better than Suzuki, maybe as soon as this year. I'd deal for him, if the price was fair.

    I mostly posted this because of all the "promote him now" we* post here......almost didn't post it. *including me
  6. Mike Sixel
    I find it hard to believe there is only 1 catcher on the planet that is better than Suzuki, that would cost at least Plouffe. As pointed out below your post, I think you under rate the Twins' ability to acquire a catcher w/o giving up Plouffe to do so.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He's plummeting down boards, just don't see it.

    Just thought I'd post this nugget from KLAW, which is pretty much what the Twins seems to say/do....... This was said about a nearly 19 year old in low A...... "No reason to move him up given his age, and I think there's value in letting a young player go around the league more than once to see how pitchers adjust to him and how he adjusts back."
  9. Mike Sixel
    this, to me, points out why I'd like the Twins to take more starters that are borderline, and try them at relief. If some of these guys can add 2-3 MPH, by pitching less often, they could have real value.

    Sorted to "ignore" defense...... http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=1b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=17,d
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm confused by the willingness to accept a guy who is 20th best at his position as a good idea (and, that's only counting offense, if you count defense, no chance he's top 20, based on years of data). If you have a glut of B prospects, and you have no good catching prospects in the next year or three.......why not upgrade this position?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess we can expect a guy that plays in the majors, with a 30% chance they are a legit every day player. As for the last part about Dozier and Hrbek......those are exceptions, not rules. If you consistently miss on your first round picks, you are in trouble.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure it is "realistic" to expect them to finish 10 games over....which is what playing .500 would do. It isn't ridiculous, but I'm not sure it is realistic. How many teams finish 10 games over in any season? Sticking to 83 wins right now....
  14. Mike Sixel
    They have, and it is, frankly, confounding. I don't understand the fear of losing mediocre/bad players. Especially I don't understand it now that they have legit options in AA and AAA......maybe this year will be different.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Well, if you just look at the last 2 years, and this year, you see what he can do. I would hope he is DFA after Fien comes back. He's no more needed than Nunez is.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Like Sano, Vargas, Arcia, Pinto types, yes, agreed. But, not Escobar, Nunez, types.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to him.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think we probably agree mostly on this. I don't love how some/many of the women are portrayed. where we seem to disagree is on how much of that is misogyny and whether Cersei is really weak or not, as an example. We will see. The real question for me is will I even read another one or not, or just watch from here on out.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Catcher, DH, bullpen. Of course, Sano could DH. I have no idea if there is a good catcher out there, but I would be looking for one.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Such a mean spirited post in a thread that should be all joy.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I was unaware talking about someone using math was bashing. There is no emotion in my posts at all. I root for the jersey, not an individual. This, for me, is about making the team better. I fail to see how these posts are any different than other analyses.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I can handle the bad jokes anymore. And he's not even here yet.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Plouffe is obliterating him on offense this year, SSS aside.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I find that to be an exaggeration, and no, I'm not having any difficulty reading your posts. We just disagree. I said SANSA is like 14th century France. I'm not missing your point at all, I'm saying you are only looking at the woman side, and drawing a conclusion that I don't completely agree with. Never said that about Cersei, or Dany, or Mellisandre, or any other woman.

    Much better than aluminum, and no college is going to invest in wooden bats, waaaaaaay too much money.
