    I am indifferent on the STrib's commentary, I was just pointing out that they are still awfully gentle on this team, imo, compared to what other papers would be doing.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I knew you would say that......if it isn't evidence (with Bartlett and Guerrier) that he isn't about building for the future, what is it?
  3. Mike Sixel
    good one bill....good one. That has not been their MO with int'l FA. It has been to get lots of guys, and see if one sticks.
  4. Mike Sixel
    It has been 50 games.....in a long, successful career. I won't really judge him until next year.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Yes, yes it does. If he isn't getting on base at his normal rate, he is a big black hole compared to other teams. But I think he'll turn it around.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Or, they were booing an at bat, not his entire career. Sports are entertainment, fans can do what they want, and should not, imo, be judged on how they are a fan. YMMV, of course. And, I don't think the STrib has even come close to the depth of "outrage" that other major papers would have by now.
  7. Mike Sixel
    2015? no chance, imo.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Mauer chooses to switch positions. Hicks chooses to stop SH. Suzuki chooses when he gets to play. Who is running this ship?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan. Touki or Gordon please in that scenario.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Seth and I in agreement, as always. This is on Gardy, and, imo, is evidence hee is not the right manager for a rebuilding team.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Guess it is too late to post about pinto.......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Zero chance he is there. Good write-up though.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs has a fun article on this up. It was mildly entertaining.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think I wanted Gausman also.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Touki's curve is the key for me. Fangraphs ran a study that I referenced earlier, and "best curve" was more predictive of success than "best fastball", when looking at prospect rankings.
  16. Mike Sixel
    You think radio is bad, try cutting the cord on cable.....I have had the pleasure of watching one show the old fashioned way, holding my antenna, while laying on the floor.......ah, the glory days
  17. Mike Sixel
    People think the Twins will sign a high priced Cuban? After watching the last couple offseasons? I admire your optimism.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Who said anything about a safe choice? You wouldn't take an all star SS at 5? I would, if I thought that he would be that......I guess some arguing for Nola might be doing that, but I don't think any Gordon or Touki or Jackson supporter is doing that
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think you are dreaming on Vargas, but we'll see. My more ideal than today OF/DH/C world: ? in LF (not willingham, wish it was Rosario, but not likely at all) Hicks in CF Arcia in RF Pinto DH 45% of time, Vargas or Willingham 55% of time (occassional Mauer) Suzuki c 45% of time, Pinto 55% Fuld, and, ummm, on the bench. (maybe Kubel, but I have my doubts about his future)
  20. Mike Sixel
    And they supposedly wanted Garza to throw less fastballs......it is interesting! Thanks for posting.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Of course, WCCO isn't really the WCCO you remember at all......
  22. Mike Sixel
    What do you base that on? Every scouting report I read says he'll hit and field enough to be potentially be an all star. I have no idea how you think they have all the position players they need. Who is in LF in the future? Who is your future DH, if Arcia is in RF? Who is your 1B? Your SS? Your other catcher besides Pinto? The only way they have all the position players the need is if every top prospect they have works out, and even then they are short, imo. That seems unlikely.
  23. Mike Sixel
    There is something magical missing in our new, improved, technology (though I'd argue the gains outweigh the losses).
  24. Mike Sixel
    theleviathan and Labombo with some great lines......don't agree with all the conclusions, but getting there was worth it totally
  25. Mike Sixel
    I agree on Gilmartin vs Diamond. But the Twins don't. So I have given up worrying about it.
