    If Hunter could still play defense.....wouldn't the Tigers have kept him, or Seattle have signed him?
  2. Mike Sixel
    If you were a SP trying to resurrect your career.......would you come here with Arcia in LF, Hunter in RF, and ???? in CF? A guy on a 1 year deal, with upside, would you come here?
  3. Mike Sixel
    "you can deal Duensing for something"....are we sure? When does the team start using the minor league system for RP? When do they realize they have burned out their bullpen the last few years, and need more flexibility there?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Then put the 39 year old in LF, and keep the young guy at his natural position. Then I only hate the deal a little, not with the passion of 1000000000 burning suns* *ok, that's an exaggeration
  5. Mike Sixel
    I've not ordered that "quality" of beer for some time, so I was guessing what it might cost......
  6. Mike Sixel
    I would not sign here as a FA SP for a one year make good contract. It looks to be bad out there on defense. We can disagree on how bad, but does anyone think the OF defense will be anything other than bottom 5?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Corona with lime.....what's that, $1.50 or so? Brave, brave bet.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    this is true.....especially the spouse golf thing, sigh.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    The Captain won gold gloves when he could barely move.....GG mean NOTHING.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well, if they had not done what they did last year with Kubel, Guerrier, and Bartlett.....I'd have more faith they'll turn over the roster even after this. But, I am coming over to your side on this. As long as not all 6 are on the 25 man roster in spring, this is no harm.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Or that the minors aren't doing their job in developing the right attitude. Look, I believe in leadership. I believe culture makes a difference. I just don't believe that it matters more than talent, skill, training. I do think, that if Hunter is a great leader, it makes a difference. But, if NOT ONE guy on the roster can do that now......that's a failure of the development staff, imo.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Yikes!
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree with all of this.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what they will do......what I would do: plan a: Move Hunter to LF, and let Arcia play his potential long term position for at least 1 more year plan b: Trade him for a legit pitcher or LF (this seems like a pipe dream to me) that is under 30 and under control
  15. Mike Sixel
    Ah, got it......sarcasm is so hard on the interwebs...... Nunez and Duensing should not, imo, be on this roster next year. The other four? I am good with those four, given where they are and their positions.
  16. Mike Sixel
    How is this a straw man? They just kept 6 mediocre players on the roster, rather than replace them.....or maybe I misunderstand the process here. Are some of these 6 going to be not on the team now?
  17. Mike Sixel
    And moving Arcia to LF is going to help him take better routes how?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Who, among those that don't like this deal, do you think forgives Cuddeyer's defense? My guess is the people that forgive Cuddy's defense are the same people that think Hunter's defense is fine. If you don't believe the "stats" how about on Fangraphs where the fans rate defense? They hate his defense, with their eyeball test.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I still don't get how this helps Arcia's long term development as an OF.......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Let's just say that there are a lot of people that aren't sure Hunter is a great guy, and that must be a fair topic, if the "pro" crowd is going to keep bringing it up.
  21. Mike Sixel
    They took up roster space, it isn't about money, but roster space and opportunity to try to find upside.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Gotta keep all the guys from last year on the roster.....they were THIS close to being in the WS last year!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Man.....theleviathon and I agree super strongly on something, and Seth also agrees with us.....something is really wrong here.
  24. Mike Sixel
    The more I think about this, the more I hate it. It really reminds me of moving Young to LF to keep Cuddeyer happy, only worse. Has Arcia played LF in years or years? Why would any FA pitcher sign here, other than money, with this OF defense in front of them? Maybe their new plan is to just score a lot, and not worry about run prevention at all.
  25. Mike Sixel
    So they move the young guy with a future out of position so they can sign a 39 year old.......how does that help when they are good?
