    i won't be upset, and I agree, it is unlikely more than 2 get moved, but I didn't want some of them on the team at the beginning of the year, so I will remain disappointed if they are on in August, and we are not seeing more youth.

    Love this post. Love it.

    "quibble" was a bad choice of words, sorry

    Ya, I was referring to their willingness to move veterans still under control for more than a year (especially pitchers). His most recent move is a new one for him, I think though I'm not sure. There is an insider article about how the A's have never tanked, and always tried to win, and never had an early draft pick in this string of success (and not lost 90 games since the 70s).

    This is all super stuff, thanks everyone!

    I said it was an A's move. And I stand by that.......they don't wait until a player has 3 months of value left (or hold them and not deal them at all). They also deal really good players for more players, like, they move very good players that their team needs. I do agree, they might wait 2 more years or so.....Basically, they are willing to give up great players (ml and mil) to get other great players. We can quibble over doing it now or in two years makes it more A's like.

    Did I even say that? I am 100% certain I DID NOT say that.

    Oh, I know, that was more a reaction to some of my boss types here at xxxxx company.

    Pretty sure he means Burton.... The only way you trade Dozier if you are relatively sure Rosario or Polanco replaces him in the next year or so. Oh, and you get A LOT for him. That would be an A's type move. It would also be a repeat of the CF trades they made.....so if they make a deal, they better be more right about their prospects than they were with Hicks.

    I proposed a drinking game where we'd do shots everytime someone said cloud or API in an upcoming meeting. But, luckily, no one did it. In that thirty minute meeting, I tallied 21 instances of those being used.

    This is actually why I wanted him up this year, and am glad he is. Adjusting this year, not next. Not worried at all at this point, though the HR ball is the concern that some scouts have with him.

    I have been looking for someone to do this.....is this as far back as the data goes? Did you look at more recent data? I might do that if I actually go to RAGBRAI and hang out (since I am not recovered enough from last year's bike accident enough to ride 7 straight days). The real deal here is that it is a lottery pick.

    They don't need a proven veteran, they need talent. If that happens to be a veteran, that does not block a prospect, fine. But proven veteraniness for veteraniness' sake? No thank you.

    hadoop.....if I hear that word one more time at work, like it is some kind of SAVIOR, I might smash my laptop......

    I fail to see much of a youth movement this year, given that they are one of the older teams in all of MLB (even after the folly of Bartlett and Kubel being over). Here are the minor leaguers under the age of 30 that made their debut this year: Santana Tonkin (back in AAA) Polanco (back in A ball) Did I miss one? Not sure how that is a huge infusion of youth this year.

    Jack, I figured you were kidding about not knowing the stadium, do you really not just go to games and walk around and get a feel for the place during a game ever? Best food is the Minnesota Crispy Belly Bacon with Jalapeno Jelly and Vinegar Slaw....and here is a list of all the food and the locations: http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/min/ballpark/information/index.jsp?content=concessions

    I like teams that take decisive action.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Who said he is ready? IMO, he should be brought up to learn more about how ready he is, both the twins and Meyer need that learning.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Major league data on a prospect, I love that idea.......
  20. Mike Sixel
    why not just call up Meyer for several starts until May is ready?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Big Nick Gordon fan, have been for months. Super happy he's in their system. On the MLB front, super thrilled about Hughes. I liked the signing, but was nervous, very glad it is working out.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd like Meyer up for a taste, so that when they NEED him next year, he's a bit used to MLB parks.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to all the guys promoted!
  24. Mike Sixel
    spycake just saved me a lot of time, by typing up what I'd say. Get their feet wet this year. Waiting another year? I don't get the process at all here.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Well, I agree with that, it isn't even a sports' culture, it is a US culture (I can't speak for other countries). People come to work when they shouldn't, for lots of cultural reasons. I do know some companies that are better about that than others.....
