    Funny guy.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I find it odd that the Sox and Tigers need to be lucky, with major league talent, but the Twins don't have to be more lucky to have minor leaguers be their future
  3. Mike Sixel
    Frankly, I am generally losing interest in sports. I have come to the conclusion it just doesn't matter all that much of one team wins or not.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I am close to out. Can't see listening to many games next year. Too many other things to do than listen to a bad MLB team.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Certainly possible......it would not be the first time.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Congrats gophers
  7. Mike Sixel
    The problem with that depth is that it usually means you keep the better, younger, guy in AAA. I want the best players here, not waiting in AAA in case (when) someone gets hurt or struggles.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Detroit did well. Clearly the Yankees want defense and value it more than a number 5 pitcher. Given their ability to buy pitching, it probably makes sense for them. The Tigers don't give up much short or medium term, and get a number 5 starter. ....you can't go back in time and fix the Foster trade, so I like it for them. AZ is playing for the future, I guess.
  9. Mike Sixel
    he's 25 already.....time to move him up if he's close to ready.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Number 7 might be my all time favorite post on this site.
  11. Mike Sixel
    "hitting", that's code for did it 1 time or 2, not that is what he does all the time. There was a great article by a former player (on ESPN, I think) about how he "hit" mid-90s once or twice, and his whole career changed.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    None. I don't view next week as some kind of deadline...... Past that, a top line SP would be nice.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough. that's not really my issue anyway. Should have just let that part go..... Frankly, I'm done parsing TR's words, I'll just judge him on his actions (like signing Pelfrey, Hughes, Hunter......)
  14. Mike Sixel
    Burdi.....your 8th inning man by the AS break.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If he said "he's average"....he's either wrong, or mislead, but you are both right, he did say Hunter had lost range, he didn't say he had little range.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Yes, I'd like Ryan to say Hunter has lost a step, but we like him for these reasons.....list them out. I would prefer he not mislead anyone, which, imo, he is doing here, or he really believes Hunter is average (which could happen, don't think it will, but it could).
  17. Mike Sixel
    Keep Plouffe, quit only playing for the future* *unless you are overwhelmed, and get MLB or near MLB talent.
  18. Mike Sixel
    fair.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Who here has ever said only use stats? Name one person?
  20. Mike Sixel
    WAR removes OF defense, and uses xFIP or FIP.....the delta between Hughes ERA and xFIP or FIP was huge, huge.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Get a difference maker. Or, use the young guys. If they sign 2 mediocre guys, I'll be very confused. If they sign one, I'll just be disappointed.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Except it is a clear, clear pattern. Not a one time statement, but a pattern. Are you saying you actually think, based on their actions and statements the last 5 - 10 years, that they have actively moved forward from how they've run the organization since the 80's? Based on what you see and hear......
  23. Mike Sixel
    It is not a one time event, if it was, I wouldn't have typed that. It is a pattern. And, to pretend it isn't a pattern is to, imo, just blindly ignore what TR and his assistant GM have consistently, publicly, stated for years now. Also, actions.......the actions back up that they largely ignore stats. We can pretend all we want that isn't true, but you can only judge people by what you see and hear from them. Are people really arguing that the Twins appear at all to have embraced what many, many other teams seem to have embraced the last 5-10 years, in terms of use of statistics and math?
  24. Mike Sixel
    The issue I have with those quotes isn't if he's right or wrong on Hunter being "average" on defense (if he is I'll be shocked).....but that he just dismisses defensive stats in a condescending way by saying they aren't even defined. It just shows, imo, a lack of willingness to learn and grow, the kind that led to US car manufacturers almost disappearing from the planet in the 80s. It smacks of hubris, and disdain for knowledge that isn't the kind of knowledge he has now.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Lots of people don't think it is possible for Hunter to be "that bad"......anyone want to look at Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage this year, and explain how he "forgot how to shoot"?
