    It was a mistake....but every trade carries that risk. Being afraid to trade a possible future star is going to mean you almost never trade anything of value at all.
  2. Mike Sixel
    that was kind of funny, actually
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's not what was said, it was stated that they stick to reporting facts. That's not their job. I didn't comment on how well either does their job.....though I do like Craig's writing.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Dang, just as I move further from chicago?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Craig might not write the headlines....not sure how it works there. And no, I don't see any reason a columnist should stick to facts, that's not their job. It is NOT their job to write news stories, it is their job to offer their opinions. That's what a columnist does for a living.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Not a surprise to me.

    Gawd I love Galaxy Quest.....it NEVER gets old.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Shocking, just shocking that a lawyer defending an alleged rapist would make the victim a victim again.....said no one ever.
  9. Mike Sixel
    1. They didn't trade Ortiz, and no one claimed him for months. 2. Yup, every trade involves the risk you trade the wrong guy for the wrong guy.

    It's not about not reading the comments.....it's about his comments about the commenting people that I find ugly. Only an insane person reads the comments (except sometimes on Howard Sinker's stuff, sometimes I read those).
  11. Mike Sixel
    I actually like Craig's work, for the large part.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Good point....if they are wrong about Santana as a SS, it would be great to have a backup plan that they have some confidence in. I see no reason to move Esco right now, none. They won't be blown away with a great offer, and he has good/high value to them. It is time to stop only playing for the future....and play some for now.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Well, certainly, moving Sano to RF and trading Arcia is also an option, but I don't see that one happening. either way, I'd keep Escobar, as the utility guy.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Maddon is not the manager....time to move on and root for Molitor (and for him to make good choices on coaches and FA and how he runs the team).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Huh. I don't know.....but here is what I would do: 1. Santana at SS 2. Sano in AA, but as soon as he looks good, to MLB roster 3. Plouffe gets time in LF in spring training to see if he can handle it 4. If Plouffe can't play LF, start with Plouffe at 3B, Santana at SS, Esco as the utility person, play him 2 or so times a week, giving guys time. 5. If Plouffe can play LF, move him there, and put Esco at 3B until Sano. but, I don't know if any of that is a good idea or not.......but I could see Plouffe as Alex Gordon like.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Good point.....is Molitor wrong for taking Gardy's job?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I found this article on ESPN interesting. I know it is Mike Zimmer talking about being an NFL coach, but a lot of it could read as if Molitor was saying it part way through next year. It talks a lot about the challenges of being an NFL coach for the first time. I wonder if Molitor is going to reach out to Zimmer at any point...... http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/68583/mike-zimmer-qa-part-1-setting-expectations-dealing-with-adversity

    souhan has admitted he doesn't read the comments because "most of those people think they could writers, and they aren't"....his comments about his readers are amazingly mocking, cruel, and petty. I refuse to read anything he writes.
  19. Mike Sixel
    People read Souhan? You all must be masochists.

    Just watched Winter Soldier for the first time, very, very good movie. I found Guardians to just be plain old fun. One of the most fun movie experiences in some time for me. There were some plot HOLES to be sure, but really, I just watched it and enjoyed it.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Great article, you beat me to posting it here by minutes.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That kind of casual dismissal of fans (last line) is the arrogance of sports teams and sports fans (not you, but some fans) that makes me lose interest in sports. Whatever, i'm not here to change anyone's mind, I was just stating what seems like an obvious flaw in uniforms today. Others can disagree. Frankly, I don't care all that much about anything than the actual play on the field.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What? The DH loses his job when one is signed. SP lose their jobs. RP lose their jobs. Signing a 3B right now in Detroit would cost the current 3B his job. I literally have no idea what your argument is.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't get why it is bad for managers to be FA that take someone's job, but it is ok for players to do that. It's how business works.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's a stupid assumption. Kill it. Let the casual fan know who is on the field.
