    One time, and I posted about 10 times that my opinion was based on his career, and I pointed out about 10 times that my opinion was NOT based on this year, that this year was confirming my opinion. Why are we bringing this to this thread? I simply asked if it was too early to come to conclusions based on this much data.........you assumed it was about the other thread. But, when I read KLAW and every fangraphs writer, and most every thread here, we all agree it is still SSS time. Maybe, it was about that, and not some evil thought on my side.

    I agree, Rosario should be in a corner position every single day he is in MN. But, for some reason, this team doesn't do that (see Santana, Danny, 2014).
  3. Mike Sixel
    The meme that Arcia and Vargas are future David Ortiz.....I'm tired of that meme. We just don't know that at all. Hicks SHOULD be a good fielder, but he has not shown that at all in his first 2 stints. I don't know why people keep typing that he is/will be for sure.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I thought it was too early to look at stats and draw conclusions. I don't trust Nolasco or Pelfrey at all. I trust Gibson and Hughes to be good. I am unsure on May.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Why can't we be happy they are both good? Why do people feel compelled to compare them all the time?
  6. Mike Sixel
    It rarely works that a team has too much talent......how about one guy comes up and is elite before we worry too much about 4 or 5 being that.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Alex Gordon disagrees that your worst OF should be in LF........baseball people believe a lot of stuff that might not be true......
  8. Mike Sixel
    None of my business what it is, hope all is well for him and his family.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Put him in RF, and continue to have him in the majors. This should be about getting him to where he needs to be this year, or gathering evidence that this is what he appears to be......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Oliveros is the obvious answer of who SHOULD be up, imo.......but I am betting it is not him.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think this is the right move.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Wait, don't send down Schafer because the Twins are winning? That is a very bad logical fallacy. Schafer has done nothing to show he belongs on a MLB roster, nothing at all. All these SSS stats about him and Robinson are highly amusing, given how people are posting on the Suzuki thread.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Don't forget, there is smallest chance Sano is your RF some day.....but I don't see it right now. I am waffling on my stance, I think THEY will wait at least 2 more weeks, but I think I'd just do it now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Ever? Or during the rebuild? Because, man, if ever, you just punted most every FA available, and a lot of possible extensions.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Most every former scout that works on the web now has said over and over that punting is a terrible idea. What if you are wrong about next year being strong? You now have no 1st or 2nd round pick this year, that creates a sizable hole in your progression/depth of players. You risk alienating an agent (and his future clients). I can't recall one of the web personalities even hinting this is a good idea.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Not talking about the future, just what HAS happened...... Mauer is the 21st best hitting 1B in the majors so far.....based on wRC+. almost 300 PA since his last HR? Ouch. I really thought getting out from behind the plate, and being further from concussion and other issues would help him this year. Let's hope this season is not a continuation of ineffective Mauer......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Also, the world has changed......people probably need to adjust their thinking on HOW MUCH* a corner OF needs to hit to be even average now. *as in, Hicks isn't there yet, but it's probably not as big a number as you have in your head
  18. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great report, thx.
  20. Mike Sixel
    All the people saying "wait"......IF he keeps this up, how long would you wait? 2 weeks? 6 weeks? More?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I predict 2-3 more weeks of success is needed before he is up.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Except as I stated upthread my opinion is based on years of data. This month only confirms years of data. Again, how long should they wait? Ignore this month......fine. Is he good? Does his career and age make it likely he will be good?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Some of the Grantland articles about race and politics have been great. Great journalism. Had no idea they were losing money there.
  24. Mike Sixel
    A: stop with the anthem..... B: no, I don't think they are UnAmerican, but if I ran a team, they'd be lined up.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    My hair is actually quite short right now, thank you very much.
