    I don't agree, a player should not prove they have nothing to learn at a level before moving up. Everyone can be better.
  2. Mike Sixel
    That was my point. ....people here are saying twins players have to prove they are ready before coming up. You and I seem to agree, they don't. And you can't.
  3. Mike Sixel
    The sky is blue. That's what this is. Of course every team should draft well and supplement. The question is, what do you do when you don't draft well? When do you supplement? Who do you re-sign? Saying they should draft well, well duh. The delta is, the twins failed to execute on this already. .....

    The antenna is a bear.....I have to move it for different channels, but it is in the basement.
  5. Mike Sixel
    No one can be sure anyone is ready. Plenty of teams call up guys before they prove stuff. I think KC has a pitcher that was in college this year. ......but for some reason, MN players must prove a positive, which is actually impossible.

    There is no perfect clarity. Who thought both justin and Joe would get hurt?
  7. Mike Sixel
    I said it was possible, others here say it is not possible and should nevr be done. I don't think it is likely to work, but this proves it is possible.

    I think counting on Mauer to be an elite 1b at this point is hope, not strategy. There is little evidence he is tending up, and he spent years catching and should age like one.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Well, it now looks like 5 or 6 years. ......because apparently it won't be next year. If they actually try at some point, rather than wait.
  10. Mike Sixel
    It proves that you can go from 90 losses to competitiveness. ....that you don't have to wait until there is only one hole to fill. ....that what is most likely, is that of you wait, you don't compete, if you try to won, you might.

    It killed boxing.....IMO. IF I was a congressman.....if games played in publicly subsidized stadiums were not on free tv, I'd tax the subsidy as income.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Overall, pretty reasonable plan, I should not have just asked the Hunter question. I like the concept of succession planning, as long as they are agile and willing to undo that decision if it later doesn't look good (but, they have not shown that, imo).
  13. Mike Sixel
    Hunter has been bad to terrible on defense in RF for several years.....why would he be average next year in LF?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Who asked for perfection? I think having the worst pitching in the majors for multiple years indicates there is a system problem. YMMV
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think Trevor is now under rated. He's slightly above average as a 3B.......that is super valuable. No way I deal him now, Sano is at least half a year away, if not more.Plus, he could be your RF or 1B or DH. Keep Trevor, and trust him.

    It is an odd world we live in, for sure. I don't get all the anger and hate, but it is there. Her speech was amazing.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ha, I'm not trying to win anything. I'm not even really arguing here, I'm just trying to have a mature baseball discussion. Sometimes we aren't as tolerant as we could all be, but I think most of the threads so far this last week or so have been pretty mature. Everything I post on this site is about performance and process, not about the people. Sometimes we forget that .....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Given that they have had the worst SP in the majors for several years now, being wrong on Meyers and May would not, imo, be isolated cases........something isn't working, and hasn't been for some time.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It would be cool if Buxton was ready day one, what odds do you give? I'd say about 5%.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Aren't players in the majors more likely to be good in the majors than guys in A ball? I think he's talking about that, but i'm not sure.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    that would help, I agree.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That would be sweet for sure.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I LOVED that they signed a guy that they hoped would either help them win, or be flipped. It was a great risk to take with money that would otherwise not be spent.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I like the guy fine, from what you can tell from afar. yes, it is speculation, hence my use of the word "opinion", not fact, or even stating it like a fact. It is my opinion, nothing more or less. I've even typed here that I have no shred of evidence to support it.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's not what Ryan says, that not what any talking head on the internet says. Ryan does not approve the picks.
