    Of the new guys this year, Santana might be a legit starter. A fan for sure. None of the SP that debuted this year are more than filler/AAAA/5th starter when things go bad, I think. Most of the players are good backup types, which a team needs. I actually kind of like Nunez and Escobar for those roles. Arcia and Hicks came up last year. I was fooled one year by Hicks, but mostly I've thought of him as a 4th OFer, with good defense. His D did not live up to the billing at all, and his hitting was worse than I thought it could be somehow. I still think he has talent, but he's not MLB ready right now. Hopefully they just take their time with him. Arcia is what many scouts on line say he is, when he hits it, great, but he misses it too often. He's young, I'd just leave him out there and see what happens. He clearly has a chance to be good. Tonkin's FB seems a bit straight. Still has a chance, and I think he should be up here learning this year.

    How is the Appel thing bad? Teams do this all the time. Another stupid unwritten rule thing. It's like these guys are not even adults sometimes.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why? The rules are you have to have 9 guys out there. Why can't they go wherever they want?

    "post here".....

    Not sure if you care, but at my crappy work computer, it looks 100X better on IE8.........I love the new look a lot. Can't wait to explore more when I'm back home.

    Always an excuse. Does no good to trade for guys if you refuse to bring them up.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Seth. He does some things really well, but it is time. I hope they go young, not Molitor, frankly.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Fire Gardy and TR. Trade or cut the old guys. Bring up some young guys. Start over. How many ninety loss seasons does a leadership team get?
  9. Mike Sixel
    That went well.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Sinker nailed it.

    Oh, and thanks for the floating top. Easy to get where I want on mobile without a bunch of scrolling

    Takes my mobile to the last post on every thread. It used to take me to the last read. Hope this is a bug and not intentional.

    Agree with Shane, but also agree the Mariners may have insisted on a guy on the 40. Meh. They rolled an expensive die, and lost. At least they tried.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Almost on pace for 90 losses again. It is possible they move up a spot or two, but I don't think they get to one.
  15. Mike Sixel
    That second year has been awesome. Do they have the worst starter ERA yet?
  16. Mike Sixel
    So exciting. I thought everyone said Meyer was next?
  17. Mike Sixel
    So, how is it less stressful on the arm to pitch in Rochester? If they want to limit his pitches, and still see how he is up here, how does leaving him down help with that?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I love how people say "there is no doubt May or Meyer would be up next" when they keep being passed by. I wonder how many months would have to go by before it was too long. ....

    Suzuki is gone after this year. At the beginning of the year, Guerrier, Bartlett, Kubel, Pelfrey, Nolasco and Suzuki and Hughes were added. I cannot explain how that moved them forward, in a way that leads me to be confident.

    Welcome. It is a great community. Part her if you want ideas on stiff to do.
  21. Mike Sixel
    1. It is not true most people hate the DH rule. 2. It does not add to strategy of you do the same thing every time. 3. Both leagues should have the current rule. Having pitchers hit 2 or 3 times a game is more boring than any "strategy".
  22. Mike Sixel
    An awful singing that turned out like most people predicted. What a great off season. ....
  23. Mike Sixel
    So exciting!

    The defensive stats are clear, he is a bad catcher. The worst pitch framer, or close. No one is blaming the catcher for the bad pitching. We are wondering what the evidence is that he handles the staff well. Since there is none when looking at outcomes produced.
  25. Mike Sixel
    There are no players. I have no idea if he can coach or not, but this is a really bad collection of talent.
