    Granite is too old for the level, time to move him up and test him. Meyer. sigh.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Well, this is unexpected. Admittedly, it is only a couple of starts, but still........ I'd put Nolasco in the bullpen now, or Milone, but Pelfrey should stay in the rotation until he proves this isn't a fluke (or, the whole year being a success, which would be awesome).

    Ya, don't get me wrong, you can only play the teams you are assigned to play, and the pitchers have been great. My question was about how excited I should be about their future....not at what they have accomplished.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Delay the game to another day. Move it to Chicago.

    How is the offense in this league overall? Are the Twins' pitchers way ahead, or a little ahead, of the pack?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff, thanks for writing it.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I was just checking. I'm not big on signing 32 year olds to 4 year deals.....Signing good 28 year olds to 4-6 year deals? Maybe, but ya, I share your skepticism. Every team will have some 32 year olds, it's the price you pay for having good 30 year olds.

    I am neither optimistic or pessimistic. Too early for me. but, I am happy for those that are happy and hopeful.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Awful decision. Just. Awful.
  10. Mike Sixel
    so, basically, never extend any player that doesn't come up by 24?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I have many thoughts: 1. It is only going to get worse. Look at history. As the elite take more and more, and give less and less, the masses rise up. This is likely to get worse. 2. I admire peaceful protest, even if "illegal". Like, you know, trespassing. 3. I have little tolerance for violence, but I totally get where it comes from. There is a lot of anger, and a lot of just doing shtuff for shtuff's sake. more to come when not at work.
  12. Mike Sixel
    There is also value in "certainty", if you believe Plouffe is a legit 3B. Knowing you have a 3B is valuable in and of itself, even over the value of having one.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Is this serious? Hunter is 39, at the end of his career, and this is a rebuilding team.......and I actually never commented on what should happen now that they made the mistake. I commented on him a: not being signed in the first place, and b: your insulting attitude that people can't not want him for the quality of his play.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Bull. A: I don't hate Torii Hunter, he's just not a good baseball player. B: Your statement is insulting to fans who want a good product on the field. Really insulting.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Uh, it's not about saving money.....it is about realizing this is a sunk cost and he should not be on the 25 man roster, despite making real money. I don't care about if they save money or not. Is that more clear on why I am praising the move?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I agree on Schaefer.....if he isn't asked to steal there, what is his value to this team at all?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Which young player has he helped so far this year be better? frankly, he never should have been signed in the first place.
  18. Mike Sixel
    distinction w/o a difference. He's off the MLB team, that's what matters. Whether they trade him (good for them if they can), cut him, or send him to AAA if he accepts.....good move for them.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, offensively, compared to other 1B, if this is a ride to enjoy, the Twins have problems.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    How is it fear? Plouffe isn't old, he's not expensive, he has progressed while in the majors......isn't that the kind of guy to keep around and build around (rather, than say, guys in their 30s that aren't good)? I'd rather Sano stick at 3B, and Plouffe be Zobrist lite.......but I'd be OK with them trying Sano in RF. OK does not mean it is my plan, my preference, nothing more than I'd be ok with them if they tried it.
  21. Mike Sixel
    That would be based on putting Sano out there in the minors and seeing what he can do. Frankly, I have my doubts he can stick at 3B long term, but think it is possible he could in RF. Frankly, I have my doubts about Plouffe maintaining last year, but I think it is 50/50, so I would consider seeing if Sano can play RF, since, I think Plouffe might be a legit 3B. I have zero interest in Sano at DH anytime soon.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If only there was evidence that you could win with great defense, decent hitting, and an elite bullpen.....and if only you could figure out which players might be really good defensively, and you valued that defense the same way (or maybe a discount, because it is harder to measure) you valued offense, and then you signed players based on that.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Which is how you end up with Bartlett, Kubel, Nunez, et. al. on your bench, instead of actual good MLB players......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Wait, you are complaining about small sample size, then saying 30 PAs this year is more relevant than their careers? I'm confused.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Uh, 7-9MM dollars is 1.5 wins for a guy that age........where do you propose finding a GOOD player to do that role?
