    I should have been clear on that, but I was responding to the previous posts, which implied it was intentional.

    20% likely a good pitcher won't come back. Add another percent that he's never even pitched in the minors, making it, what, another 10-20% likely that he's not even a MLB pitcher? why take that risk?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I hate the plunking. It's immature. The other team got a hit by bunting.....that's called smart, not rude.
  4. Mike Sixel
    10000000x this.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Super.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to him. Always a fan.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but I am more nervous than I was before. Before I was sure he was going to be very good/awesome. Now, doubts are creeping in.......not sure why, it is such a tiny sample.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I remain hopeful this isn't the case, but there is a lot of evidence it might be.

    If you think Hicks is a 4th OF, then yes. If you think he still has a shot to be a legit starter on a nightly basis, I think they need to give Hicks more time to get better in AAA. Rosario should probably also be in AAA, imo, polishing his approach, but I am more of a believer in him than Hicks long term. Yes, Pinto should be up, imo. There is a whole thread on that.

    Except they didn't wait for their young guys to figure it out. They just cut bad, older, players. Like the opposite of signing Stauffer, for example. Or Duensing.

    There was research on this on Fangraphs 1 or 2 years ago. yes there are some that aren't.....but most ELITE players are.

    This is a very good article, imo. It shows the delta between the Twins (all veterany stuff in the bullpen), and the Dodgers (with their new GM) going with young guys with better stuff. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/story/los-angeles-dodgers-bullpen-joel-peralta-nicasio-garcia-baez-rodriguez-hatcher-liberatore-042215

    Great that they won. An old, bad, slow, 39 year old trying to steal home? Idiotic.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Elite players are up by 21 or 22.......and are successful. that's what makes them elite, not merely good. I still believe he'll be at least good, I'm beginning to wonder if he'll be elite.

    Giving up millions year after year is a bad proposition when it comes to finance. If he'd have taken the money last year, and put in index funds, he'd already have made enough to make up for the "low ball" offer he got. Putting off that income for another year, is another year where he doesn't make 1 penny. It just doesn't make any financial sense at all to keep not making money. Plus, there is always the risk that he's not fully healthy any time before the next draft, and isn't likely to go any higher next year. He would, from a purely financial perspective, be silly to turn down millions of dollars.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Good for Mr. Vavra.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Aiken is not turning down millions again, just not going to happen. If you take him, you have him. If they had a 2nd round pick, they could try to under slot him....now, not so much. Go get the best hitter, that's what I want.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Too early? This is year three of the situation being unbearable in CF. How is it too early? Schaefer and Robinson are not going to suddenly figure out how to be good MLB players. They have shown that already. They should just punt on defense for how long? How long would be "not too early"?
  19. Mike Sixel
    100%, this. I would hit the love button if there was one.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Why on the first sentence? Other than, because? Why does this have to be the "last time"? What makes you sure now isn't that time?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't get why anyone cares if he's using or not. I've never understood all the angst over PEDs frankly. It is possible he is, it is also possible he's on a hot streak. Before the PEDs, he was one of the best hitters in baseball history.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Correct on the pitching. With the two guys you mentioned hurt, and tate gone, I prefer a hitter this year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree on that, you can sign free agents in a rebuild.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Many SS, though, don't project to hit much for an OF........ I'm all over taking the best overall hitter available right now.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've been asking for a rebuild for 3 years......
