    doumit was a veteran, that had proven what he was in the majors. Pinto is a rookie, that needs playing time to get better. I'm not sure why the distinction isn't clear. How does he show he is better or not, if he does not play?
  2. Mike Sixel
    My goal is to have at LEAST 2 guys with options, so they can move guys up and down to AAA as needed. If they keep a bunch of veterans, they constrain their ability to move guys around.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone is asking Pinto play every game. How about one game a week? That would be a start.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Glad to read TR is not pleased with the outcomes this year.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Based on what? His stats in right are awful, for more than 1 year now.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Can't count on him at all. It would be luck, at this point, if he added real value. It might happen, but you can't PLAN for hit to happen and say you have a great plan.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Did you read the part where I said "defensive" metrics?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Why are we so sure playing Pinto is playing to lose?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Cuddeyer has not been healthy in 2 years.
  10. Mike Sixel
    If it is not clear this is about Gardy and Pinto overall, that is my fault. For those saying Gardy is doing nothing wring, are you suggesting they keep Punto, and never play him, or trade him? That was the question.
  11. Mike Sixel
    So basically the argument is that, a young guy should not be playing in a lost season? Got it. And catcher ERA might be worse than pitcher wins as a predictive stat......
  12. Mike Sixel
    When did pinto last play? This isn't just last night.........
  13. Mike Sixel
    Unless I missed an injury, last night Gardy put in Fryer, and not Pinto......if so, I guess this might not be a topic. It sure appears Gardy is never going to trust Pinto. Would you rather trade Pinto, or fire Gardy?
  14. Mike Sixel
    If he's in the rotation to start the season, they are neither rebuilding nor going all in to win, so it will just continue the head scratching lack of commitment to an actual strategy by this team....... Bullpen would be ok with me, but overall, I'd like the bullpen to be filled with young players with options, so they can only carry 12 and move them up and down to AAA.....clogging your pen with old guys that are paid a lot of money (when you are a cheap team) makes no strategic sense. That said, he's signed, so I'd move him to the pen and see if lightning strikes. If you NEED him as a 7th starter, he's there. And, the injury and bad play was predictable, since some of us did predict it......

    Twins aren't paying more than $100MM for a cuban.......let's all just give up on this now.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'll amend Brock's point a bit.....either play the young guys, or pay for elite guys. But stop going for mediocre guys with no upside. They still are not committed to the rebuild, see Pinto on the bench and Santana in the OF as evidence. Their inability to commit to their plan is a big part of the issue right now. See also May not coming up sooner, and Meyer not up at all. They just can't seem to go all in on rebuild. Or, if they are in, it is in a new, unique way, that other teams don't try.

    I'd tell her that she got it from Cabrera, and it was a nice act by him.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Torii is a bad baseball player right now, please don't sign him.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I agree with most of this, as long as Gardy says "if we suck next year, it is on me, and you can fire me"......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Really? You think Dan Cole only cares about child abuse in re: athletes? edit: I just defended one of my least favorite radio personalities
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but it gets to my logical fallacy statements earlier, if it is serious.......
  22. Mike Sixel
    In the vein of non-seriousness: May adds 2 WAR over the scrubs that started this year Nolasco is 2 WAR better Mauer is 2 WAR better than the scrubs this year Vargas is 2 WAR better than the scrubs this year Hicks/Schaefer are 2 WAR better (you know, that defensive part of WAR) Suzuki is 1 WAR worse (ooops, sorry) Miracle signing of Melky Cabrera brings 3 WAR there you go, that's in the range...... The only unrealistic one, I believe, is the last. Finding 3-5 WAR in the OF is big for next year......
  23. Mike Sixel
    do people really think the media wants to destroy athletes in general? Those guys are their meal tickets on ESPN and most tv and newspapers........this isn't some grand media conspiracy. This is a guy that beat his kid, and many people find that repugnant. Should all those people just shut up, and let it keep happening, if they find it evil/wrong/bad?
  24. Mike Sixel
    The media is NOT destroying someone. They did something bad. The media may be making it worse, they may be pushing an agenda, but the people brought this on themselves. And, the old, "people didn't act on something else, so they can't act on this" argument is a logical fallacy. And, no, someone does not need to be perfect to point out that someone else is bad. That is also a logical fallacy. If someone cheats on their wife, are they exempt from point out that slavery and murder is wrong? Of course not.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Gardy is saying that to him, not you. He's telling Pinto he's so bad, that he should not be allowed in a game that counts. Even against the White Sox.....
