    That and averages hide lots of context.
  2. Mike Sixel
    We'll just disagree on how much Gardy has changed or not......
  3. Mike Sixel
    We have no idea what Pohlad really thinks....None.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ouch, that is a scary list of bad decisions.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Way too early to worry about him as a SS imo.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Twins thought Hicks could play at the MLB level.......until you see people in the majors, you haven't really seen them in the majors. He should have been playing SS this year, but for some reason, worrying about being good next year, in a completely lost season this year, was not a good idea for this team.

    Oh, and I'd move Goodrum to LF ASAP.....and make him a great defender that can steal. Span light, with more speed. Although, I'd consider leaving him at 3B.....but he should be in AA next year.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Of these, I like Turner and Reed the most for some reason.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I still think he can be a RP.....but not sure he needs protecting.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, SD. I don't think they need another affiliate, unless they up the number of players in the system.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough, I clearly have a bias on promotions very different than the Twins (more of a WS guy in that regard). Either way, I want more players to contribute to the Twins. A lot more.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd not protect Wimmers at this point. And, I was a big supporter of him coming back this year......
  13. Mike Sixel
    hard to argue "nothing should change" given the number of good or better players the minors have graduated the last 5-8 years, isn't it? I am on the push them side of the argument. Actually, I'm on the side that says you really can't learn much of anything by having college players dominate 17 and 18 year old HS players.

    On Fangraphs, Hughes is the number 3 overall pitcher in WAR.......no idea on bbref......On ESPN, Dozier and Hughe are effectively tied for WAR. And, batting about .333 on FAs does not make a GM look like a genius, makes him look average at best.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Except you are arguing that Gardy's decisions months ago cost Hughes the money, not in the last week or so...... the guy has let it go, and said he doesn't deserve the money, not sure why fans can't realize the same thing.
  16. Mike Sixel
    From the article about the Angels and Scoscia.... "After General Manager Jerry Dipoto and his staff provided the necessary facts and figures over the offseason, about everything from defense to batting order to bullpen management, Scioscia shifted many of his long-held beliefs about how baseball should be played, Dipoto said Wednesday." that makes about 4 articles this year about managers and coaches that have had success, but were recently struggling, being told by the GM to change, or lose their job. And, they did.....NFL, NBA, MLB, not in Twins land though.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Another great article about how Pittsburgh looked in the mirror, saw it wasn't working, and changed how they work. That's what a company does (usually).
  18. Mike Sixel
    So? Gardy didn't do anything to keep him from getting it, he did stuff to win games. If he asked Dozier to bunt late in a game, and he fell a hit short of a bonus, would you pay Dozier?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I read Hughes comments as a clear shot at Suzuki playing over pinto. Clear as day.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Say it is a 4-6 run game, late in Detroit, and Gardy puts in Hughes to get his out...... If you are a Detroit hitter, do you work a walk, do you not worry about Hughes' record, does anything in your approach change? Not saying you don't try to get a hit, but do you work extra hard for a walk? Are you a spoiler?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Given that there are dozens of SP better than what the Twins have thrown out there for the last few years, I'm guessing other teams are doing better at drafting and developing pitchers. For the last few years, they haven't had a guy you can even call a 3 for more than 1 year in a row that they drafted. How about we even start there, don't build the worst SP staff in baseball for multiple years. Even that would be improvement....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Good luck Trevor, you had a very good year this year. Hope all is well for you soon.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Phil Hughes is it for me. Then, some ranking of Dozier or Santana. On a per game basis, Santana was probably worth more, but he played 50-60 less games......and there is value in Dozier being there almost every single game.
  24. Mike Sixel
    so, should they give Santana more money, since he was way better than expected and outearned his pay? Should they give the ticket people money because they sold tickets in a terrible year, even if they didn't meet their goals? he got 2 bonuses already.....this is a third. Where do you draw the line? 1 out? 4? 10?
  25. Mike Sixel
    He's been very good offensively in the second half this year, now that he is healthy.....do people trust Kemp to stay healthy?
