    I don't see how this is face saving. When they finally admit he is not a switch hitter, that will be face saving.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Long ago I did....yes I did.

    Cool article on PEDs, and how there is no evidence they help an individual, on the interwebs this week.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Shouldn't they have known that, in the 6 years he's been in the system, and either fixed it or not kept promoting him until he did? I mean, it would appear that they weren't concerned with any of this in the minors, and they dealt both CF while he was in AA and made him the CF. Did they not know this was an issue before? isn't that a process issue?

    Thankfully the wind is not blowing out to right field.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Actually, your statement on bullet five shows some possible misunderstandings of average and median.....

    Law says Miami wants bats. They have 4 of the first 43 picks.......and lots of money to work with because of that, among other things, but I'm trying to be respectful of insider content....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agree, keep Arcia down until fully healthy and his timing is closer to back. Doesn't hurt for Parmalee to get more chances, imo.

    KLAW's mock draft is up today: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/draft/mock/?season=2014&version=1&source=Keith-Law-Mock-Draft Jackson goes 2nd, the usual suspects go 1-4......Twins take Gordon.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I will rip them for insisting he make good outs, instead of hitting HRs. He's not the only exTwin to comment on that being an issue with his development.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that what I said in the last sentence?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Gleeman on Harballtalk.......if he hasn't learned how to study the game, what have the minor league coaches been teaching him for the last 6 years? I also agree with you, that this shouldn't be in public. OTOH, maybe they have tried for years to teach him, and he's not listening, and this is a last ditch chance......

    I rather like the skinny design of the mobile version. I HATE the way the ads force a lot of things to not appear as I want the first time I open a forum, but it takes all of .005 seconds to scroll down. I use it exclusively on my phone. I use a Rezound, but am buying an S5 this weekend, I believe.

    Hard to totally rip the Twins for Ortiz. He sat out there for some time before anyone signed him, IIRC.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'd like to see KC cut. Not on the roster at all. The second year was a mistake, a mistake they repeated this year. I'd like May up.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Signing Pelfrey was not a "bench role" decision, was it? I have given them credit for Suzuki. And have been pleased Pinto and Gibson are on the roster. If every post has to praise every good decision, and rip every bad decision, not sure what to do. IMO, they've done more wrong for the LT good of the team this year, than they've done right. I have no issue with others concluding otherwise. I certainly praised them for trying to fix the SP. Other than that, I'd hardly call the offseason aggressive, for either the LT or the ST. Again, I have no issue with people drawing different conclusions.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Seems like an awful lot of unearned runs (errors) in that report......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Was at the game, Plouffe's error looked VERY much like a lazy person's approach. I'm sure it wasn't, but man, it looked bad from where I sat.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I admire your hope in the FO, despite all the missteps this year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I admit it. While at the game last night, I did mutter "just stop pitching to him already" after the 2nd or third blast off Ortiz's bat.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Like Matt Gruyere? That "quality"?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Was at the game last night. Those few fans that actually paid attention to the game booed* the "OF" on several occassions. *the crowd could have been at a concert for all they seemed to care. the booing was more groaning with the intermittent person you could hear from sections away
  23. Mike Sixel
    Pelfrey. Veteraniness.... edit: as evidence, I offer Matt Gruyere
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ther might be more posts in this thread than people still here* *exaggeration....but stilll, it is emptying
  25. Mike Sixel
    KC even worse in person than on the radio.
