    I would be ok with Sano in RF, and Plouffe at 3B. But, the Twins have shown no evidence they are even considering it, have they?
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't get this. Was he supposed to keep a terrible player on the roster for some reason? This was the kind of move a team should make.
  3. Mike Sixel
    And, how bad is Pinto's defense compared to Suzuki's "offense" anyway?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I used to have a nice golf game. I'm like Hunter, my stats 10 years ago look pretty good......now, I maybe should find a new hobby.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I could have sworn the reports last year were that it was night and day when he came back, and he had improved. I don't particularly trust this FO anymore, they've lost any "need to give them the benefit of the doubt" with me this far into the "rebuld" with one of the oldest teams around.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I like that they just said "we have better options, it's a sunk cost, we are cutting him". Decisive.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the clarification, Jack. I find it hard to believe that teams would cut video programs. I am not sure I have enough information to understand how that could be a good idea.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ha.......and yes, I glanced at that list too. I just love Kiley's work.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm not worried yet......just a bad tingly feeling in the back of my brain I'm trying to ignore.....because I bought into the HYPE on both. And Ryan indicated he felt Buxton would be up this year......so I got my hopes up. They aren't UP anymore, just kind of there.

    If I get a birdie two holes in a row, what does that tell you about my next 60 holes? Versus, if you look at my scores for the past year, what does that tell you? this is my last post on this off topic discussion, but since birdwatcher posted....thought I'd point out why I think he's a bit off in his implications.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Are we even a month in? Other than 1st pitch swinging, is there really data that shows things have changed?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Statistics say Suzuki is terrible.....doesn't stop him from playing. Like I said up thread, if the issue is the pitchers here don't want him here, the ONLY way to get over that is for him to be here and show them wrong (or right, alas, is a possibility). They aren't going to believe doodoo from AAA reports.
  13. Mike Sixel
    neither did I.....and I answered your question, you can't ignore SSS and eliminate randomness. None of any of this has anything to do with the nice streak their on......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Uh, you can't just ignore SSS, and then try to reach a conclusion on what is likely a random set of outcomes.....that's why you collect data over months and years.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I like that Molitor is willing to try out Perkins in high leverage situations.......and not just inning 9.
  16. Mike Sixel
    so he's more valuable in Rochester, not playing at all? Doesn't make any sense to me.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Pinto should be on the roster instead of herrmann or Nunez, to me, this isn't about Vargas. And, Vargas was never much of a "good hitting" prospect. He's always been on the fringe of prospects. Many national experts don't like his swing/approach all that much. But, it isn't about Vargas to me at all....Pinto should be catching twice a week. If he also DH's once a week, great.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    The only way to know if he's better, if you are one of the pitchers that doesn't trust him.......is to see him up here. If the reason he's down, and Herrmann is up is that they don't trust him to catch, then trade him. Or, call him up and see what he has. But keeping him down does not help the team at all.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Consider? sigh. It is clear the Twins are not in rebuild mode, and are not all that interested in having young players up here to give us some hope. Or, they just hate Pinto for some reason.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Average age is not my favorite thing.....what is the average age of the actual good players? that's more important......but ya, they are youngish.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I like wins. I endorse this hotness.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    As pointed out.... This team is bad, and old. Mind boggling. Pinto should already be up, and be the primary catcher. Hicks, I have zero confidence in him. But, if they brought him up, I would understand.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Sano was a FA, you were not using a draft slot. Not comparable at all. Draft slots are a finite resource....they guy had what odds to be a number 1-2 starter BEFORE surgery? 10%? 20%? Now, he has had surgery on his throwing arm. What are the odds now? Lower, I'd bet. And, they have no 2nd round pick this year. With all the comp picks and whatnot, their next pick will be the equivalent of a late thirdish...... this is the one likely chance to get a MLB player this draft.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not if you are rebuilding your team......the young guys should be up, taking their lumps ..... not guys that won't be on the roster next year (once you have a young guy ready). that is, sending down May or Gibson does NOTHING to help 2016 and beyond, it gives you no MLB performance data to make decisions upon. Nothing. When Nolasco comes back, I hope neither May nor Gibson goes down, because that would indicate, to me, a continued unwillingness to commit to the rebuild.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If the odds are 80% likely to get a Santana, and 10% likely to get Lester....who do you take? To take your analogy..... If one time you are rolling a six sided die, and need a 1-3, or a 100 sided die, and need a 1-10....which bet are you taking? It isn't just about upside, but the likelihood of achieving that upside that needs to be taken into account. Oh, and that there are almost no hitters at the lower level in the minors, and lots of pitchers.....
