    Good to move on, imo.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Why May? You don't worry about service time with RP. I don't understand that at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm on the "at least 2-3 of the RP need to be guys you can send to AAA" bandwagon. There are a lot of questions about the starters. RP are unpredictable. A team in this position, imo, can't be stuck with 4 or 6 guys that can't be optioned. If they won't start Meyer in MN, they should let him relieve in MN, imo. I'm indifferent on Pelfrey, other than I'd prefer they not try him at starter (he's the definition of a sunk cost, mediocrity blocking prospects).

    If half of the prospects don't work out for 2016, should they wait another 2-3 years at that point, or at that point can they try to make the team better even though the prospects didn't work out? Because that is the point they are at now. Their prospects weren't all that good, so they have gaping holes all over the field. I'm at a loss to understand how signing Hughes was a good idea, but signing other players that might help out is a bad idea. Another straw man.....no one is saying FAs always work out. No one.

    I agree with birdwatcher 100%. And the others that say you only worry about blocking elite players. And that they really only have 1 SP they should really like for sure right now, and a bunch of question marks. There is plenty of money to sign a good SP, and to take a chance on an OF. I 100% want more youngsters with options in the bullpen, they need flexibility, not a bunch of guys you can't option that are probably mediocre anyway.
  6. Mike Sixel
    So both teams that hired managers did it wrong?
  7. Mike Sixel
    KLAW is very clear on his chats that there are times to bunt, I think I even saw him say that on Twitter recently, but I could be mistaken on that.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Entirely too well thought out for a post on a sports thread.....please sum it down to 1 partial sentence with way more emotion.....* I'm with you on this whole post, btw. *for those that don't know, BW and I don't always appear to agree.....this part is supposed to be funny.

    Red Sox are using their assets to get Stanton......I really do believe that.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Awesome, thanks for the stats!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Has anyone argued there is NOT a place and time for sacrifice bunts? I suppose someone has, but I don't recall reading that (not that I read every thread).
  12. Mike Sixel
    Written like a Twins' fan! I notice he didn't mention the defense at all. I agree, he can hit. I actually remain hopeful he's a legit OF....
  13. Mike Sixel
    1000000x this.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Dave Cameron has an article on Fangfaphs today, talking about because of the size of the payoff, he may have underestimated the value of being an 85 (expected) win team.....which I found instructive.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Actually. ..that is what I meant when I replied. I am less sure since I replied
  16. Mike Sixel
    Not Hicks. No idea on others.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I was doing AWESOME in the market until this month. I bought Apple a bit later than I wanted.....but all in all, it's been a good year financially. Which is good, since I now have a college freshman and 1 right behing him.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Mr Watcher, except number 5.
  19. Mike Sixel
    amazon prime is a competitor of NFLX, not HBO...... I still regret not following my gut, and not buying NFLX after everyone said "I'm going to quit because of the DVD split" followed by the stock tanking, followed by it doubling in price when it turned out they grew membership......
  20. Mike Sixel
    I took it in the spirit it was meant, pointing out I was a bit wrong....no problem here.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Except I didn't say that's what they did the in the past.....I'm talking about the future. I don't know anything about how these candidates feel about things I hate that teams do. Where, anyplace in that entire post, did I talk about the past? Not. One. Place.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the correction.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    I will admit....I could be 100% wrong. We really don't know much about any of these guys' openness to new ideas. Heck, we don't know much about their desire to unnecessarily give up outs, or locking pitchers into specific innings, or carrying three catchers, or pinch running with two outs, or anything really.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not one guy from outside the org? Not sure how they ever embrace any new ideas if they never bring anyone in from the outside.
  25. Mike Sixel
    They won 72 games the year they made the trade....they did not wait until they KNEW they were "one player away". Basically, it looked to everyone in baseball, that they lost patience and said "screw it, we're going to try to win", rather than "let's wait until we win 80+ games to try to fill in the holes". When TR trades a TOP prospect for "expensive" MLB players, it will be first time he's ever done that in his long career, even though it was 100% clear they were 1 player away from being better the last time he was GM. Jason bleeping Tyner and Rich Becker were DHs for goodness sakes.
