    he's not really a switch hitter, though, right? He's a RH hitter, who "hits" like Drew Butera from the left side.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Alonso is pretty "meh", though certainly Norris is there......if they keep all those guys in the OF, maybe the Twins won't have the worst OF defense. I'd think you'd have to give up more for Myers than just Plouffe. I'd think they would aim much, much higher.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Myers either traded again (for a SS or 3B), or he plays CF and Kemp plays 1B......I'd do one of those.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I don't get the desire to keep switch hitting. Hasn't really worked, ever, for him, from what you read. Can he be fixed? Sure, anything is possible. Will he be fixed this year? I'd bet no.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I would hope TR wants to be in the post season...
  6. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what any of that has to do with.....is the draft the best system for the players. I have lost interest, so I won't be responding anymore.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Truth.
  8. Mike Sixel
    That's just a logical fallacy. Sorry, but it is.Just because there is still a lot of money being thrown around doesn't make the system good for them, as players (not compared to the money they'd make elsewhere). Yes, they know what they are in for when they choose baseball, that doesn't make it right, or ideal, or even good for them compared to what another system would be.

    Just read the Sullivan article....in context of having some good AA and AAA SP, and in wanting to limit the years of the contracts....the contracts look less bad. Not ideal, but less bad.

    I too find it very odd that teams don't work on nutrition like crazy. These are their assets. OTOH, big companies are cheap and stupid, so I'm not surprised.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Torii batting 2nd? Where does Mauer hit? First?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not sure what offense has to do with run prevention, unless you are voting on the golden gloves of course..... No, the Twins cannot come close on defense. Arcia and Hunter and ????. No, not close.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't think any of this is real. Just white noise.

    A. Keith Law ripped TB, not sure why everyone is so hung up on stuff like this.....(he ripped them for not just getting the players the Nats did....., not for trading Meyers in the first place, though he still believes Meyers can be good or great) B. Nationals win, easily. Easily. C. Shows what I've been saying.....even high ranked prospects don't always work out, sometimes you should be willing to deal them for proven MLB players...... D. Maybe KC isn't so dumb, as some of us said at the time. E. Dave Cameron has never been as high on Meyers as the industry. But, I did enjoy that article yesterday
  15. Mike Sixel
    That's why I said it is bad for players. ....nothing more or less.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It's terrible for players. They have to go where they are drafted, want to or not. They lose millions at the top of the draft. that has nothing to do with if it is good for teams.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Twins supposedly checked in on every Cuban too......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Ah, get your point. Ya, this has run it's course.
  19. Mike Sixel
    That's how a draft works.....and why a draft is bad for players.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I am sure they have a good plan. I am not sure what it is, I just hope it works.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Those actually look quite similar to me, given that they were that many months apart.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Also, they didn't want to go to college. If they go now, they are stuck for three years.....so that's not really an option for them anyway, right? Neither one was going to college. Now, one gets $1.5MM and pitches at a JUCO instead of rookie ball. One, well, that's the risk you take entering the draft (which is just one of many reasons the draft is bad for players).
  23. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough......I'm not trying to win any argument, I'm genuinely trying to understand the argument being made that the Sox did something wrong this off season. I'm not sure what they should have done differently (other than maybe buy cheaper bullpen help, but that's just money that they have.....). That was what that post was supposed to be about. They were bad, they spent money to get better. That seems to be a good idea to me.

    Cuba

    Mike Sixel replied to JB_Iowa's topic in Other Baseball

    Bad choice of words, I guess. But, the main way the US has become the imperialist nation it is, is through capitalism, not force. I'd rather vacation around Europeans than USaians.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    What did Houston manipulate to their advantage? They paid a guy for nothing. I think that's probably penalty enough, frankly.
