    So, if Romero is not good enough to come up, why do you worry about losing him, as I've asked before.......if you won't call him up, he's not really depth. I am utterly shocked by this move.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Other than trying to get better this year and in the future......
  3. Mike Sixel
    btw, I checked FG, and Perkins is still a top 10 reliever.....so I might have been wrong about his abiliy (but still think he's not untouchable for a non-contendor like the Twins). I'm on the fence on Perkins, frankly.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe I am about to type this.....but given their actions with Pinto, I think they should sign Suzuki to at least one more year, but no more than 2.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Perkins should not be untouchable imo. Dozier is a tough call, but I'd probably keep him. He should still be valuable over the next 3-5 years. Other than that, I agree with your statements.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Also, is Perkins actually better than the median "closer" right now, or do we just think that?

    The issue isn't one or two old guys, it is that they don't have young guys at all. Hard to rebuild that way. Hard to manage your 25 man roster if all your RP are out of options. Hard to be ready for next year, or the year after. Also, anecdotes.
  8. Mike Sixel
    When you are old and bad, that is a bad combination, and indicates you are not rebuilding for the next year, since you will either be even older, or relying on rookies. There was a good article on Fangraphs a couple of months ago on this topic. Also, it indicates your farm system is not succeeding at graduating guys, which of that is your main plan for getting better is a bad sign.

    Imagine if they had given the Silmarillion to Martin, instead of Kay....btw, Guy Gavriel Kay's books are really, really good. Don't start with the three most recent, though.

    Good luck to Mr. Hicks. Still hoping he's a good MLB player soon.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Oh, he can tie them together some day.....but there are an awful lot of side stories that just don't matter to the plot as a whole. There are already more than a couple dozen main characters, introducing some minor noble from the South that thinks he's some hot stuff, bah. Unneeded.* *that wasn't too much of a spolier.... **and the Bran parts of the books, SO DAMN BORING. At least on the show it is tolerable. ***speaking of which, don't they need to film faster? some of these kids will have kids of their own by the time the show is done filming.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Eduardo Rosario? That's going to be confusing in 5 years or so.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I wonder if working on a new pitch, instead of what has always worked for him, has thrown him off some. Both mentally and physically. I personally am not worried about him yet.
  14. Mike Sixel
    That made me laugh, because it reminded me of the silly argument on the D&D board I visit about rules that BREAK THE GAME AND MAKE PEOPLE PLAY IT WRONG. *to be clear, your post was not silly at all......it just reminded me other stuff
  15. Mike Sixel
    Either way, I'm glad he's at least in CR, and not below that. I'd have preferred FtM myself......I just want him to move quickly before his arm decreases in ability, which is inevitable.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that low A? I'm confused.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to both of them.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Told my wife the show was better, and she should watch the show. .... she asked why I kept reading, and I had no good answer, other than I like the books and story, if I don't always love the writing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    This is a great article, imo. http://www.fangraphs.com/community/the-unique-path-to-success-in-oakland/ It talks about where the best teams recently (and WS champions for some time now) have built their rosters. The A's are taking a path few teams have taken, and almost none have won the WS with. There are a lot of numbers, and words, but the last few paragraphs sum up the thoughts. Basically, the A's are not reliant on the draft at all (built through picking up DFA, trades, some FA, and other routes than the draft) for their current roster. Up until the last three years, WS champions have largely been built by FA. The A's are not, and that makes their recent success so interesting (to some). Recommend the article.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Was Burdi sent to low A?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Always been a big fan of his, very happy he is having success.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree that it is disappointing the last few starts. This looks to me a lot like Gibson's year last year, only shorter, and at AAA......which is disappointing. And I hope (and believe) they are smarter than we are about this stuff.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not sure where I said they were 100% wrong....I try to offer my opinions as opinions, not facts. Take it any way you want, but no place did I say what you are saying I said.
  24. Mike Sixel
    no HBO for me, so I haven't seen season 4 yet.......but I agree, book 4 was mediocre. REALLY needs an editor to stand up to him. And, yes, the tv people know the outline.
  25. Mike Sixel
    this is why some of us wanted meyer up early.....so he'd get exposure this year before he hit the wall......
