    Miguel Sano should be on this list, IMO......as a possible RF some day. AAA and the majors are black hole largely, and AA has a guy that hasn't played in a year, and a guy that they tried to make a 2B that has/had drug issues. I hope they sign a FA, just in case......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Like the Twins are now, following their model? Isn't that the "natural cycle" that people here use to excuse the Twins right now? Are you sure they'll stop spending to be good at some point?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Nolasco is more likely to be good than Jimenez. Jimenez has a higher ceiling, but it is rarely reached. I take Ricky.
  4. Mike Sixel
    that simply isn't true. Not if you believe decades of organizational research. For one reason, it is virtually impossible to have a different perspective on much if you've risen up from within the organization and spent much of your formative time there. that's how organizations work. That's what they do to people.
  5. Mike Sixel
    That's not what I was responding to at all......he might be. that wasn't the point vodka was making at all.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, it isn't "just to hire someone outside the org". Organizational theory is very, very clear. If you never bring in outside ideas/people, your processes and ability to change stagnate, and you fall behind your competitors. This is not some random thought, nor a new thought. It is about as real as a business theory gets around an organization's ability to adapt, improve, and change.

    Maybe I should have put the humor tag on that one......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Cool.
  9. Mike Sixel
    that might be fair, Seth....on the outside voice. I have argued they need more than one (frankly, I really want one in the FO as much or more as on the field).
  10. Mike Sixel
    Love, Love this article. Too bad Steil doesn't have access to the same information as you.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that the natural cycle you always post about? How could the Tigers have a good farm system if they are drafting late all the time lately? And, isn't your argument that is only sustainable for about 10 years or so doing it the Twins way? How many years will the Tigers be good/great, then bad, then good/great again? Isn't the cycle about the same?
  12. Mike Sixel
    obligatory "still waiting for a fresh, outside perspective" post....and yes, I do think that matters. It matters in every business. that said, I think you have to look at what he did in AAA and be impressed. I think he's a good fit for the team.....but you need outside voices also.
  13. Mike Sixel
    How is trading folding? If you want something in return, you have to give something up.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Seven Jedi?
  15. Mike Sixel
    A lot is due, imo, to bad choices in FA. Of which this might be one.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Well, he was not even a part time player the first three years....so you are skewing the calculations. Four out of the last 6 years he's had a WAR over 1.2. I think you might want to re-look at how you are looking at those stats.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Clearly they are not assuming he is worth .75 WAR this year. Isn't that kind of obvious by the signing?
  18. Mike Sixel
    And what makes you think they are going to do this every year? Who here said "do this every year", or even every 4 years?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Or, you have a more certain future than present.....so you go get an OF/1B to fix your hole on the roster that was almost .500 last year. The present is always more certain than the future. Cuddeyer is more likely to be a MLB next year than the 15th pick is in any year. and no, they don't need to add 150MM in salary to get there. And, they probably think Cuddeyer is closer to a 2 WAR player if healthy (they are probably wrong).
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm rethinking my disgust...... IF Wright is healthy, and Cuddy adds 2 wins, and their SP is a bit better, they could be the lucky Royals team this year. That has to be their thinking.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Last in the AL (all non-CO MLB?) in SP.....and people want to stand pat. Unless they are calling up Meyer day 1, they better bring in some help.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hughes did not just move out of Yankee stadium. Other things were "fixed".
  23. Mike Sixel
    8 guys? that's a lot of people gone from opening day to the end of August (unless they are mostly Sept).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Another thing....maybe they plan to sign another QO guy, and they are "only" giving up a 2nd rounder for him (which is around the 65th pick this year, or so).
  25. Mike Sixel
    Must trade value to get value. If you won't trade a questionable OF for a questionable SP, you are likely to never get much in return, imo.
