    Danny Santana ain't in CF to keep those numbers up........if it is Hicks/Schaefer, good luck being near league average. Good luck not being in the bottom 2 or so.
  2. Mike Sixel
    We have a whole section on their lack of patience with young arms compared to young hitters. They have young arms right now, and Pelfrey is old and won't be here next year. There is 100% no reason to start him this year. Not for this year, not for the future. Wasn't Pelfrey hurt last year (I know that thought is shocking), isn't that why May got more starts than Pelfrey? Was Santana here last year (as in, that's one less spot for May or Meyer)? I can only go by the actions I see. I have no idea what is in his head. If Pelfrey is the starter, it will be very hard to understand the actual strategy, at least for me.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's what I was told last year, and Meyer never came up at all......not being up means it is less likely you are up. Since, you aren't up.
  4. Mike Sixel
    This is a great example of why averages suck for comparing stuff.....it completely ignores variance. It completely ignores how valuable an outlier (elite) number is in a situation like this. That said, as Oakland mostly showed last year, you can win with a team that has no weaknesses, and no elite players also......
  5. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they are eager to see the young players at all. If they were, we'd see them. They clearly are not following either the 87 or 91 path to success, that's true.
  6. Mike Sixel
    He's not worth it for free. He's terrible.
  7. Mike Sixel
    You do realize WAR is a cumulative stat, and Pelfrey has been in the majors about twice as long, right?
  8. Mike Sixel
    If I watch a game in the tourney, it will be the first I've watched all year. I used to watch sports all the time......I'm actually much happier now that I don't.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I just am not holding out hope he's here by the ASG, at that point, you wait for another year of control before his debut next year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd like this 10000000x if I could. Gotta get those pitches out of the arm before it breaks, especially RP guys. Not to mention that research shows they start losing speed on their pitches earlier than thought......
  11. Mike Sixel
    I saw that long list of names. At least this way I can brag about finishing no worse than 3rd in one of my pools.......
  12. Mike Sixel
    I think it is Milone or Pelfrey, just like the bullpen is veterans probably. I'm not going to judge that decision right now, even though I disagree with it. Maybe it will work, but I'm not betting my house on it.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This isn't football or hockey with injury concerns. If he has the passion, and is playing well, he should keep playing. That said, he should be willing to consider being a DH......
  14. Mike Sixel
    In.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Okey dokey.....hope you are right about Rosario and how fast he can learn LF, because I expect Buxton up here after about 8-14 games next year at the latest.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    fair enough......I'm willing to concede this point.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't buy this. If he's going to be your LF of the future, he should be playing and learning LF. They should, imo, be operating under the assumption Buxton is their CF of the future (like, next year), and be preparing for that day, not for a day you never want to come.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I bet the Sox are competing for the division and WC all year....(barring injuries of course).
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, reading last year's spring training news......we were all supposed to be excited THIS YEAR, but Buxton and Sano will not be here, and it's about 25% likely Meyer is......so I'm not ready to count my chickens for next year just yet.
  20. Mike Sixel
    A willingness to stop playing mediocre veterans with no upside, and to promote young players sooner rather than later. but that probably wasn't the question..... LF (Rosario might be that guy, the fact they have him playing CF in the minors is mind bogglingly bad resource management, given they have Buxton) or catcher (I don't believe in Kurt, and they don't believe in Josmil). I think they have the bullpen arms in AA and AAA, they just won't promote them right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's exciting they have this many prospects. Maybe they'll promote some this year before they are out of it......
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't know, and not sure I care.....we'll never know if the young guys are good if they sit in AAA until they prove they are awesome, or the Twins decide to move on from older players with no upside. Some teams rebuild in 18 months (WS), some take 4-7 years (some never succeed). I'd rather they take more chances on upside youth.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather have a good RH, than Duensing. We are unlikely to agree on this......
  24. Mike Sixel
    then it should be a AAA guy with options, who can go down and up as needed. I just don't get this decision from a flexibility perspective.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This, 100% this. But, they seem REALLY averse to young bullpen arms right now.
