    Until he shows he should not be the CF next year, he should be, imo. If they do want him at SS next year also, them I think he should get some time there this year.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Remember when everyone said they would not pick this high again for years? Good times.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We need a good Logan's run reference.

    Coconut is ok as breading for fried foods, but ruins desserts.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Right, nuts do not belong in desserts like fudge or brownies or cookies.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Brian, thank you for your intros, a highlight here for sure.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Only because teams have previously not valued range much......imagine if you had three great defenders in the OF, with your flyball staff, instead of Willingham, Parmalee, and Arcia...... Not saying I think it will happen, I don't. But I am also saying I don't see a good LF option in this system right now......
  8. Mike Sixel
    he should be in Ft Meyers, several experts thought he could start in AA.....what is he learning in A ball right now? Every pitch is an injury waiting to happen, they aren't trying to make him a starter....move him on up, imo.
  9. Mike Sixel
    This was a fun little sidetrek..... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/interest-in-the-trade-deadline-visualized-by-sam-fuld/

    Why is that impossible? If you think he can hit enough to a be a SS, he can hit enough to be a CF. Who is your LF, if Buxton is in CF? Hicks? Rosario? Other? I don't think it will happen, but to say impossible? Well, we disagree on the definition of impossible, I think.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Mike's impossibility: CF: Santana (I think he's your CF next year, unless he fails this year) 2B Dozier 1B: Vargas (then Mauer if he returns) 3B Plouffe C: Suzuki RF: Arcia LF: Parms or someone/anyone, I guess DH: Vargas/Pinto/Arcia/Wilingham/Mauer SS: Esco Hicks in AAA. Pinto up and catching 1/3 the time Hughes Gibson Milone May Meyer Nolasco takes Meyer's spot if he is on a pitch limit, or they just want to move Meyer to the pen. KC to the bullpen, or DFA/waived, traded. At this point, having KC start games just wastes opportunities for learning about all the guys that might be part of the future.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Ya, that whole "they gave up on him" thing in sports is odd to me. They traded him for another, good, player. That's like saying I gave up on my $30 today when I bought lunch for me and my dad.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Torii Hunter is terrible right now. I don't get why people keep typing his name.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think they want Polanco to be the SS. Maybe Santana is Ben Zobrist?
  15. Mike Sixel
    What if Buxton is your LF of the future, Santana is your CF, and Polanco is your SS? What if that is the plan?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Sure, if Hicks and Buxton are up here, that would be great..... I think it could be Buxton-Santana-Hicks, frankly......with Arcia your 4th OF/DH. Or, make Hicks the 4th OF who gives all three a day off..... Not that I am convinced on Santana, but until he fails, he looks like a success.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I've been saying this for the last 2 years. Especially if a team can't find good SPs......like the last few years. Won't ever happen, thought.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Great writeup, thanks. Given that service time thing, it would be odd / bad for them to call him up before Sunday, wouldn't it?
  19. Mike Sixel
    No reason for Deduno to be on the 40 man next year: Hughes, Gibson, Nolasco, Pelfrey, May, Meyer, Milone, Darnell, Johnson, Gilmartin, Berrios, Pino.... even if you just cut Pelfrey, that is 11 pitchers.....and I am sure there are other AAA/AA guys that could be on that list.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't be shocked if he's here, but I'd think he does not need to be here next year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Move KC to the pen....much easier solution, imo. KC to bullpen, Pino and Darnell down, the three M's in the starting rotation. That's what I would do. When Nolasco is healthy, either shut down Meyer, or move him to the pen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    As usual, I agree with Seth.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think Santana is your starting CF until Buxton is up. Rosario, imo, is not being promoted this year. He's scuffling in AA. Heck, and I know this is blasphemy, but if Santana is good this year and next, Buxton might be your LFer.........
  24. Mike Sixel
    Who would be unhappy? I think everyone would be happy he is doing better.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Who are these mythical better OF next year? Because they have zero in AA or AAA right now you could count on. Nyerere May have a point, but it just seems low.
