    Isn't releasing KC, and letting him go to another team, actually nice to him? Or, heck, no one wants him and he collect a ton of money while "working out" for next year? What, exactly, is mean/bad/evil about DFAing him, and promoting a guy from AAA? It happens every single day in sports.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They are already locked into the Twins past age 30.....this isn't about service time.
  3. Mike Sixel
    How is it less hard on his arm to pitch in AAA, than here? If you are worried about injury, just sit him down. That seems like a bad idea.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Funny, Seth .....I kind of felt icky too.
  5. Mike Sixel
    He will still pitch in AAA....so would you rather he reach his limit there, or here?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I don't know they are blowing it. We just don't know the strategy. I'm hoping there is a strategy, and they are following it. I just am struggling to understand what that strategy is right now.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Mauer hit into a DP? He's MLB ready then..... I don't know why, but I just couldn't help myself.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Move KC to the bullpen, cut someone. Problem solved. Or, just DFA KC. I don't see how having him start more games helps the Twins next year at all.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Meyer will be 25 next year, I believe. Another year of control should not be an issue at this point.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I guess I don't understand why "taxing" the bullpen is a: an issue. b: a certainty. Plenty of guys in AAA can be brought up to man the bullpen if that is really an issue, which doesn't even seem like it is certain to happen. They seem to call up hitters willy nilly (Polanco), but seem terrified to bring up pitchers. It is, as a fan, maddening. The 40 man issue is a red herring. He needs to be added at the end of the year anyway. The only tiny risk is that he gets hurt, and needs to be on the MLB IR, and not the MiLB IR. Other than that, it isn't an actual issue anymore.

    Home runs are rally killers..... So over rated.......
  12. Mike Sixel
    When I do manage to watch, I always mute. That's true of most every sport, really. Other than soccer, those guys were honest, and also sometimes golf.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Good move. Both promoting him, and getting him time all over the OF. Santana has CF until he doesn't or until Buxton is up, and they have no LF after this year. This is a Twins' move I can endorse.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Cool topic! Thanks,
  15. Mike Sixel
    Wow, 2012 was bad.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Last year, there was no Hughes or Gibson....two guys you were pretty sure would be good again the following year. That is a huge improvement.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I meant to say I watch on gamecast on ESPN, not actually ESPN. Though, sometimes, ESPN.com forgets I don't have cable, and I get to see games....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I never watch them, don't have cable......I do listen, and watch on ESPN. But I hope more and more people tune them out. Until people take away their money, what incentive do the really have to change things?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I assume Meyer will struggle, but improve with more time in the majors.....hence my desire for him to get some of the "nerve based" struggles out of the way this year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Actually, Josh and Torii are pretty much the same player right now, from what I can tell on Fangraphs. I don't get why that seems like a good idea in LF anymore *Torii actually has a negative WAR, and Josh a positive one. I'd guess, guess, that is due to Josh not having enough fielding opportunities for him to accumulate enough bad defense yet..... Though, in looking at the comparison chart, Josh has been equal to or better than Torii on offense nearly every year, except the year he missed due to injury.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, Span is making himself a ton of money right now.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Great post. great post.
  23. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, the comments are nits....the point that the pitching seems SO MUCH deeper now, is awesome, and I don't want to lose sight of that.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, Brock. I just don't see them getting worse as the year goes on, but could get better.* *assuming Mauer is between what he has been this year, and real Joe Mauer
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's true, Brock.....which is another reason I think he is in the OF........they like his value in CF more than at SS. Both for them, or for another team. As for "legitimate" corner outfield bat, I think people have unrealistic expectations of LF these days.
