    Great question......if Hunter's range is terrible, will anyone ask TR this question? Like, they totally asked about Nolasco and Pelfrey?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Really, you think that is the actual definition of how the defensive stats are calculated, as opposed to something headed that way?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Other than the Santana decision, this might be close to what TR does with the pitching. Hunter instead of Aoki, in hindsight....
  4. Mike Sixel
    No need to wait that long, imo. Move the arms up before they fall off. See what you have in another lost year.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm beginning to change my mind, and am going back to pitching over DeShields* *note, I am not just typing that because TR reads what I type here, and then does the opposite.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Every rebuilding team should concentrate on signing players over 35.....it's the new inefficiency.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Has Kill eased in an assistant, or had pretty much the same ones forever? I don't have any idea who the real X&O guys are on that squad.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Yup, it's 1999 still.....so eye tests over 162 games (which is what defensive metrics are) are useless, but eye tests over 30 are good. Got it. And, if the GM of a MLB really doesn't know how a metric is calculated right now? That's just not good.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Yes sir.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Happ is a borderline #5 starter, with fly ball issues....ie, Milone. Milone has already "proven" effective in Oakland and Seattle sized parks....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I do find it fascinating that no contender would offer him the same, or better, deal. Or maybe they did, and he really wanted to come home. I'd have rather traded Milone for Saunders, and moved Saunders to LF.
  12. Mike Sixel
    What is the delta between Pelini and Kill, that makes you say that? I'm not sure I understand that last sentence. As a long time Nebraska fan (I was born on campus, while my parents were in college), I was very, very disappointed in the firing. I think the school and state are stuck in the 90s, this isn't the 90s. Nebraska is not one of THE destinations for players at all anymore. I think it is pretty much MN, or maybe WI, level now in terms of what they should expect.

    You just recreated WAR, btw........
  14. Mike Sixel
    Right, if his first lesson to the young guys is "be a jerk to reporters", we have an issue. If this is a one time event, we'll all forget it soon.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Mauer. Not even close, I don't think.
  16. Mike Sixel
    just as we don't know if Hunter is a good leader in the clubhouse, we don't know Berardino's motives.
  17. Mike Sixel
    fair enough on the last point....I know better. I doubt we'll agree on the first point. I have a strong belief that if you are involved in politics publicly, it is fair game to get asked questions about it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So, Milone for Saunders, or Hunter and keep Milone? I like the first side......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I hope you are right. I hope they add a CF somehow.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Except Torii is using his status as baseball player to endorse candidates that agree with him.......that's what makes it relevant, Torii's decisions, not the reporters. And, I have not at all said how I feel on the topic. This isn't about the topic, it is about Torii's decision to be in the public eye on the topic. You can't put yourself in the public eye, and then say questions about it are off limits.
  21. Mike Sixel
    And, he first got demeaning when asked about his defense......is that also off limits?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Again, how is it old news if he appeared in political ads last month? How is that old news? He wants to endorse candidates, in tv ads, but won't talk about it in press conferences?
  23. Mike Sixel
    you missed this part: "he felt the team was in decent shape around the diamond."
  24. Mike Sixel
    I wonder how the press feels? the one time someone actually asks a Twin a hard question.......frankly, I'd like more actual questions, and not PR from the writers in this town.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Even strike out pitchers benefit from defense. I don't really get how saying the defense is bad somehow "excuses" pitchers. The defense is bad.
