    Definitely an issue that isn't fixed three years after overpaying a terrible hitter.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Oblique, but that was before the break, IIRC.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Id also send Lewis to AAA or the IL. If Emma was healthy, Wallner too. Heck, call up GG at this point.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Can't DFA all of them. But I'd certainly get rid of France and Vazquez as a start.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Can they DFA Paddock and France tomorrow please?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Never again is my preference. Martin for France. Sabato. Keaschell when healthy. None of those will happen, and he'll start and be DFA quality.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Well, Diaw is out for the year, so he's at least, at least, two more years away.....Ferrer is in A+, so he's three or so years away minimum. So, not good. I'd prefer they had a prospect at every level that was at least somewhat real....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not only is France still on the roster (WHY?) he's starting. I just don't understand this FO at all. Ok, sure, handedness....but then put Castro at first, or call up Martin. But France is not good, a real team DFAd him last year for playing like this. In MN? He starts.

    Almost no curve balls are thrown in MLB at all anymore. By any team.
  10. Mike Sixel
    They'll do almost nothing and once again get nothing for expiring deals.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs gives both long and Sabato 40s. Why not just try Sabato?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd like them to promote guys and use their own guys more often, faster. If they don't think they have guys, maybe they should resign.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I actually don't have more faith they won't just use another bad veteran, but that's what I want changed. I want them to try young players in their system (if they don't think those players exist, they should resign).
  14. Mike Sixel
    If people really believe most minor league players success is random, you need more of them that MIGHT succeed for any to do so (I don't believe it is random, at the top and bottom of the pool. But the middle? kind of, yes).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but they aren't dealing for big time players. Removing mediocre, or bad, players, at least makes room for other experiments. I think this is our disconnect. I'm talking about what they can do right now, not theoretically. They can move on from mediocre players, which they've failed to do in the past, which is the change they can actually make right now. At least they'll gather data on younger players, and they'll get experience, and maybe get lucky. They aren't doing anything useful keeping France or Kiersey.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Fair. And to be clear, I'm not. I'm more into stopping the process this team uses, which does not work. I'd like more dice rolls that might yield a useful piece.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Sometimes things don't work. That doesn't make them wrong. Also, I'm not sure any expiring deal is team breaking. But I have zero interest in things that never work. Like standing still with veterans on expiring deals. Or just bad veterans.
  18. Mike Sixel
    This fear of trying youth over bad veterans drives me crazy. At least one way there is hope, even if faint. What good, consistent, hitter have they developed? They have a 1:1 and 1:5.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Nah. Just because they'll likely miss the playoffs four out of five years. Why change?
  20. Mike Sixel
    This is why drink drivers kill people. They are never held responsible until they do.
  21. Mike Sixel
    fair. People here say they want the twins to be like other teams , but never want them to deal most veterans. Not all people, but a lot of people
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not by the rest of the world. Any reason you're bringing this up? No idea how this adds any value to the site. It's seems pretty political to me.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not very exciting.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I mean, I'd rather they roll the dice on Julien again. Or Sabato who I didn't believe in with any certainly, than France. They don't seem to have a plan for next year either. I think that's my issue with this front office, the plan never seems clear, or at least not to work with hitters. Thanks for the articles and discussion.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That last bit is very confusing. It's a massive hole, and they move no one there.
