    I just want names on the shirts. I don't care what the shirt looks like at all. But, unless you know the team (MN or not) well, you often have no idea who is on the actual field. I think this is the only sport that thinks keeping the players anonymous is somehow a good idea. It is stupid. No one would start doing that now, it is just tradition.
  2. Mike Sixel
    In rereading the comments, I do like how specific they are.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I wouldn't trade him....no way.

    Is Meyer good? He couldn't even scratch out one appearance on the worst SP staff in baseball, not even after rosters expanded. If he's so good, why didn't that happen at all? I'd not deal him right now for Hayward, but that's because I think he is good, but you wonder what the Twins are thinking about him at this point. It's not like he's 22 years old either.

    Shocking, shocking that players whose livelihood is largely controlled by Molitor would say positive things about him in the press. I'm not saying they aren't true, but I am saying I am taking them with a HUGE grain of salt.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Listening to much of the pressor........while they said their was a process, all the other answers to all the other questions made it sound to me like it was Molitor's job to lose all along. No idea if that was true, but that's how it sounded to me. It really, really, sounded like the good old boys club to me.

    "Twins Territory" isn't going anywhere.....St. Peter said that in the conversation he had with this site.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Wow, you thought the OF defense was bad before....adding Hunter isn't going to help it. They have enough offense.....they have enough offense.....they have enough offense. Go get some pitching and defense.
  9. Mike Sixel
    That first star dreck movie ranks up there with the biggest movie disappointments for me. Awful.
  10. Mike Sixel
    It does seem odd to hold this on election day. Maybe they are just cynical about the elections.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Ya, it isn't Mauer's deal that is the issue.....it is the lack of enough other guys worth paying (and choosing not to sign more FA, right or wrong choice is not the discussion here).
  12. Mike Sixel
    My theory is that a HUGE percentage of the time when you need a long man, you are very likely to lose that game anyway......so I'd rather not spend MORE money on that. I don't see them cutting Pelfrey, no.
  13. Mike Sixel
    No problem
  14. Mike Sixel
    Pelfrey should be the long man, imo. Maybe Milone.

    I agree that wins is not the only way to judge a program. I don't agree using the win stat for a pitcher helps your argument, since wins ARE a team stat. On the field (note, I know nothing about the classroom, which SHOULD be the point of college, but this country has f'd that up already), on the field, it should be about wins and losses. Until they win 9+ games and win their bowl game, on the field, they look the same to me and to most casual fans.

    I'd be ok just handing the job to Rosario at this point. Unless they go out and really try to compete this year, I'd rather they just go young. New manager has time to indoctrinate the players in his approach.
  17. Mike Sixel
    So it is ok to hire FA players to take jobs, but not FA managers? That's not how business works. I'm ok with Molitor. I would have been ok with the other guy whose name I can't spell. I would have liked Maddon the most. But at this point, I'm glad they have a manager before FA starts, so the manager and GM can be on the same page.
  18. Mike Sixel
    What is the point of the games?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think 4 years of 90+ losses earns some cynicism from the fans. I have no idea what the process was, but Molitor being the front runner and everyone else having to "outscore" him by 10 runs to win, does not seem preposterous to me. So, ya, some here are cynical. But, I don't know if they are right or wrong. Also, they are posting "I think", not statements of fact......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Gotta go with young guys with options....on a team with so many questions at SP, imo, you need to be able to move relievers up and down.....I wouldn't care all that much if none of them came back.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The point of the games is to win games. They have been awful for two weeks. So yes, I do tend to judge the success of a team on wins. I'm not saying your opinion is not worth having, I'm saying I disagree with the conclusions you are drawing. If that makes me some kind of bad fan, I don't know what to say. I am not counting the 2 wins in November as having happened. If they do, then we'll have seen progress. Right now, they look about the same to me.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I don't think it is important at all. It's fine, but it's time to move on with life.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to him and the team. I'm not at all surprised by the choice.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't know much about him.....my main thought is that the sooner the better, since I'd (if I was GM) the new manager to be involved in setting the strategy for FA, which starts very soon......so if this is possible, they might want to move a bit faster on this than they have up until now (from what we can tell from the outside).
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd think teams rank their players like crazy......if you don't have to give up a better player, then who calls first doesn't matter. So, do we really think calling first means you give up appreciably more than waiting to be called? What if no one ever calls you? You never make trades? I just can't believe this is an actual practice of any sports team.
