    Well, that part bums me out.
  2. Mike Sixel
    What a sad, pathetic post.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Admittedly, we have spent insane numbers of bits and bytes on this topic........but remember, last year, we were told not to worry about the 25th man on the roster.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Which is why you should take spring training stats with a grain of salt the size of Charles Barkley's ego.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    That would be cool......clearly I have called on them to spend more on talent. So, I'd be glad if they did.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sometimes I think I'm a jerk here......but then I read this, and realize I'm not so bad.......ymmv.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He's consistent, consistently bad. Consistent =/= good. *edit, I really, really hope he succeeds this year. Mainly because I want everyone to succeed, but partly because it would show just how far you can go with talent and work, but that you need to work, not just have talent. Good luck to Mr. Hicks.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think Hicks has talent. I think Hicks should be in AAA, learning how to harness that talent. I have no opinion on Hicks the person, or hard worker, we just don't know any of that for sure one way or the other. What we do know is that he is pretty historically bad at hitting the baseball (as in, it would be historic if he stays in the majors and is good at it, w/o going back down first). Or, I think we know that, since one of the FG writers looked it up, and something like NO ONE has ever been this bad, not been sent down, and turned out to be good...... I just don't get how throwing him out there against MLB pitchers at the start of the year helps him become the player many of us hoped he'd be......not at the beginning of this season anyway.

    didn't say those were my ideas.....was just trying to answer the question. I don't like the signing because it screams marketing>>>>>quality play. I might be wrong on that, but that's how it smells to me.
  10. Mike Sixel
    That Delmon decision.......a perfect example of sports and the culture of taking care of the veterans over the good of the team imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Remember, Carson is using new stats, and only looking at those......which are very immature in their development, and pretty meaningless at this stage.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't listen to interviews, so that does nothing for me. I'm glad it helps others though.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This part. 100% this part. It is about talent.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You, sir, are an intelligent assumer......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Follow up exam.....had Lasik 3 years ago. second best decision of my life.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Fear that it won't be one year? Fear that he will continue to undervalue defense? Boredom with old guys, when there are young guys to give a shot? Tiredness with marketing over quality of play?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to him. I hope he's a Twin (well, minor league version) next summer.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I hope he keeps his life in reasonable order. Good luck to him.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I can only skim it so far, since my eyes are dilated, but that is a fun article to skim. Hoping it is that fun to read.
  20. Mike Sixel
    The guy that did the MLB rankings for ESPN worked in a front office, and knows/has talked to most of the teams about this* *according to information on a chat on espn
  21. Mike Sixel
    I endorse this plan.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Framing? But, framing is bunk!
  23. Mike Sixel
    How do you show someone how to win? Isn't talent the key? Mostly? We clearly have no idea what team is using what most......but given the knowledge we have, it seems reasonable to say this is probably correct. Though, I agree, the Diamondbacks need to drop.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree that the law of unintended consequences would bite us in the rear if they dropped ticket prices.....but that is the first thought I have.....well, second thought. Whomever posted "pay for their own stadiums" was right on........
  25. Mike Sixel
    At camera day, back in the day, I asked Bostock if he was going to stay a Twin. He said he hoped so. Alas, he did not. And, much worse was his early death. I don't see Rosario in CF for the TWins opening day. He should be in AAA on opening day, imo.
