    I thought we were too busy invading TX right now......* *pls don't turn this into politics, if that happens, my bad.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't know if I'd put Land of the Lost in your queue....... X files or Warehouse 13 (a super light x files type show, sort of) or Torchwood if you've watched enough Dr Who.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    He clearly has an ability to hit the ball. Will be interesting to see how far he can go.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I love Grantland, if that changes, bummer for all of us probably.
  5. Mike Sixel
    The SP is far ahead of previous years.....so that provides hope to me that things will be better than the last 2 years, but no, I still think, as composed, they are a 88 loss team. It's too early to think differently (for me anyway)......so given they've banked some wins, now thinking 85 loss team or so (as currently constructed).
  6. Mike Sixel
    Makes sense. the probably need a way to do that w/o putting it out there for all of us to see......
  7. Mike Sixel
    Huh. Interesting he'd change it that fast.......I like either more than Cameron.
  8. Mike Sixel
    So, this is the draft thread now? Ok....... I really enjoy Kiley's writing. But, his pick is NOT Funk for MN........It's Alex Bergman.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't hold out high hopes. I'd guess he has 4-6 more starts to prove many of us wrong. I hope he does.

    Kiley has an article on the 1-1 pick.....but it was this comment by him I found most interesting..... Kiley McDaniel says: May 7, 2015 at 1:44 pm I did a study for a team that showed, using our pre-draft reports over multiple years, that the “depth of a draft” only differed year-to-year for the top 15 picks or so. Said another way, beyond the 15th player, every single draft class is the same in overall quality of talent at the time of the draft. Doing this type of move with the picks Arizona has should only be impacted by what you think about the top couple players.
  11. Mike Sixel
    fine....pick another way to compare him to other catchers.....let me know where he ranks.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Untappd.....it's the place to be. 250ish unique beers in the last 11 months......
  13. Mike Sixel
    OF defense. .....doesn't matter? Their tolerance for this seems odd, given their treatment of Pinto. Someday maybe it will change.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Clearly, though, teams wouldn't offer that much money to certain players if they didn't think it was MUCH more likely those players will be MLB players, right? If they get close to their limit with one guy, that means if they want to sign 4-6 more, they'll be signing guys that are pretty random, pretty much the minimum guys, won't it? I'd rather they go all in this year or next year, than not, but I understand where others disagree.
  15. Mike Sixel
    You can use the small sample size talk about what did happen. It is wrong to assume it is predictive. Two very different things. But, I cannot answer the question without seeing his significant other.
  16. Mike Sixel
    My opinion is based on more than 1 month of baseball. But, you can only judge this year based on this year. ......maybe this month is just confirmation bias.....on my part.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I was trying to be nice.....offensively he is even worse......the point is, Suzuki is not good, herrmann is not good. Pinto might be. How would you like me to compare him to other catchers?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I doubt it was the interview, I think it had to do with long standing relationships, another thing that drives hiring in every business* *note, I am not opining on the quality of the hire, just one of the things that probably played a role.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great writeup. Wow.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kiley should have a report in the next couple weeks tying players to teams, I think he typed that in a recent chat.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope he forces Ryan's hand in 4-5 weeks.......or 6...... So, I'm not totally wrong, or totally right, about the numbers.....but if he does not ever go back down, it looks like calling him up in September is a bad idea. Would you take that risk? I would not. thanks to those of you that politely discussed this part. Appreciated.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I stand corrected......so if they call him up in September, that won't effect which year he's eligible for FA? I stand corrected.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If you are worried about losing Beresford.....why not just call him up and cut Nunez? They are redundant, aren't they? Why would you need both, if you will never call up Beresford for fear of losing him?
  24. Mike Sixel
    June, or next year. They can't burn a year of control on an Elite player by calling him up in September, that would be downright stupid. I'd prefer June, if he hits well until then. No idea why you'd waste a year of control for less than 60-70 games this year.....no idea.
  25. Mike Sixel
    How the heck does Rosario sit, and someone NOT PART OF THE FUTURE, plays? So. Dang, Disappointing.
