    Except we have already shown other crappy pitchers are not making it to the sixth......so not sure how that is an actual reason, rather than an excuse.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Only concussion? That is not a good thing. You do know that is the brain, right? I wonder when this team will get good news on a top prospect.
  3. Mike Sixel
    There really isn't a right way to treat an arm, as far as anyone can tell.....otherwise they would all be doing it by now. That's why teams are moving arms up faster. I still haven't heard anyone tell me why pitching in AAA hurts less than the major, but many seem to be making that argument.

    And he's young, and has plenty of time to gather value. Ryan does not trade good prospects for players, does he? Calling for it is like calling to sign Grienke or Ellsbury.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not everyone agrees with Dave, btw. Otherwise they wouldn't be "over valued".

    Axtually, more teams are bringing up pitchers sooner because of the concern of a limited number of healthy pitches. This has been written up on several websites this year. The twins appear to be behind on this trend.

    Few holes to fill? On a team about to lose 88 games? It is good they finally faced reality in the rebuild, but if they have few holes to fill, why are they so bad?

    I hope not, I hate chopped liver.....

    Mo way I would send Burdi to the AFL. He will pitch plenty this year, imo.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I meant why read Rand......if you hate his stuff?
  11. Mike Sixel
    So, next year sucks too, Brock? I assume you think Sano is not up until after the ASG also. Sounds like another fun spring.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why do you guys read stuff that makes you mad?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Entertaining read for sure
  14. Mike Sixel
    tobi and mike, the optimists on this thread......
  15. Mike Sixel
    How is that different than what I said? He could be, is not the same as "I'm sure he is", right? You guys seem to be arguing a point I did not make.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say don't throw him out there, I said I wasn't sure he was a hitter (and fielder) right now. Are you sure he's a legit MLB hitter/fielder that is a good starter on a good team?
  17. Mike Sixel
    If you were willing to call them up this year (before the injury), are you saying you'd now wait until June of next year to call them up, and go another half year with no stars on this team (unless Mauer improves)? Why would you insist on waiting, if you were wiling to have them up this year? Because the service time argument says don't call them up early next year either, right?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think Esco should be the SS next year. I think Santana should be the CF until Buxton is, then the LF (and rotating around the OF to give people breaks). Frankly, not certain Arcia is a MLB hitter right now.....so there might even be room for him in RF.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't know, things are trending up. I remain hopeful for next year.

    Fair enough, I have no idea which of the authors I'm reading know what about racing. As an outsider, it seems hard to understand how an expert driver could not miss someone, if he was doing everything he could to miss him. That said, the guy did not make it easy on anyone to miss him.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I read plenty of people on both sides of that physics argument, so I'm not sure I understand how it is easy.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hockey players fighting is the dumb. Yes, I rip that all the time. About the definition of barbaric and immature, imo. Football players being hit after a play is over is penalized, properly. The small difference there is that hitting is part of the game, and sometimes it happens in the course of the game. One of the happiest days of my life was when my youngest son quit football.......

    Ya, 'cause Stewart has never been on a track, throwing his helmet at another car........The guy that died was stupid for being on the track. Very stupid. But we are all guessing at what happened in Stewart's car.
  24. Mike Sixel
    No doubt they try to make him a starter. I say go hire the Pirates' pitching coaches to do it....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd love it if they signed melky......but I can't see them outbidding the Yankees or TX or Seattle.
