    1. Barr.....high risk, high reward. If all he is is a pass rusher....I would have preferred Donald or Dennard. 2. Teddy....great risk to take. A good QB prospect in exchange for a 2nd and 4th round pick. 3. Chrichton ..... Zimmer loves to rotate DL (which is why I liked Donald), and it's not like Robison is young 4. RB....well, I would have preferred a DB/LB there. In an ideal world, this guy plays 10-15 snaps a game. that said, I can see him at KR, letting Patterson stay healthy for WR duties. On the draft board I hang out on, they love him as a Sproles clone. 5. The rest..... Love the OG pick. Johnson is the weak link. Hopefully Yankey or Baca beat him out. Exum was highly thought of before the injury. Nice upside pick for a S. They basically threw darts in round 6/7, at DB, hoping one of them will stick, imo. I guess that's an ok strategy, but I'd rather have more early picks than more later picks. overall, if Barr works, this could be a defining draft (assuming Teddy works, which I am). I like what they did at DE/QB/OG. I don't love this draft as much as I did last year's at this time, but if Teddy is a top 10 QB, everything else is gravy.

    I admit I thought he'd hit more like Floriman, and field a bit worse. I have NO IDEA if he can play CF.....but since they have no SS anywhere near the majors, why not let him play SS for awhile? If that doesn't work, send him to AAA for a month to play CF (it's not like anyone in AA or AAA is blocking him......sigh).

    Sticking with the 72 or so wins (I think) I predicted pre-season. Meyer/May aren't coming up soon, and Gibson/KC have been meh. They essentially have zero OF on the 25 man roster right now. At some point, that is going to catch up to a team. The Sano/Buxton/Rosario situations this year have been total buzz kills to my hopes for the 2nd half.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Santana should be your starting SS in the majors until he shows he's not. Esco is a nice utility player, and should have that job. Fuld should be in CF, and Hicks should be in AAA only hitting RH until he shows he can hit (and field). If only there had been a CF available in the off season that only cost money......

    Funny, I was ripped for saying I'd bench a player for sliding head first.....and I still believe that. Slide feet first. This sucketh.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I am an atheist, but greatly respect those with other beliefs. I think people should share their stories and beliefs. I think people should not take away others' freedoms based on their beliefs, however. that's as far as I'll tiptoe....

    Pinto not playing again? Can we just give up on Gardy playing him, and send him to the minors?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Eleven hits.....and I was so sure Wimmers would be back this year. Not looking good lately.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Taking a guy that might be a starting QB in basically round two is a good gamble. Not sold on Barr.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Interesting.....wish I they would have thought of that. Given that Sano WILL BE UP HERE next year, I'd like to see Plouffe get another shot in the OF this year.....darn good idea sir.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Sure would like Pinto in that lineup, then nearly half of it would be guys you want on the roster after this year as regular position players.....but at least Santana is playing while he is up here, progress.
  12. Mike Sixel
    How many days will Mauer be unavailable before they DL him? Not sure anyone is in AAA or AA to take his place (other than another RP), but still.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    They keep trading for/claiming marginal guys that need to be on the 40, that they apparently don't ever plan to add to the 25. It is an odd strategy, imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Willingham? He hasn't played in a year. Parmalee? People claim he is a AAAA player.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  16. Mike Sixel
    They DFA'd one o their CF again? Not a RP? Explain?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Dozier is a huge bright spot this year. No doubt about it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Right, JB. The need for a backup plan for older players (or bad young players) is higher than it is for others. Kubel is already showing signs of wearing out, imo.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Either way, I'm not convinced a player has to master a level before levelling up. Doesn't matter, we know he won't be promoted until after the ASB, if at all, anyway.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, in fairness to people not being all over SS....we had many threads on Drew as you may recall.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It is true, they seemed to be really flippant about a roster spot, as if it didn't actually matter who was on the roster. Mind. Boggling. Really, between his comment that they would compete last year, and that a roster spot doesn't matter.....St. Peter should maybe skip tweeting about actual baseball stuff.
  22. Mike Sixel
    What is the point of having depth, if you won't use that depth when it is desperately neede?
  23. Mike Sixel
    so, we agree, they wouldn't really have a AAA CF even if Wilson was up there. What we are really disagreeing about, I think, is the signficance of the mismanagement, not IF there is mismanagement. I am not calling out anyone with this next part, but since so many people rip me and others for questioning the FO.....can one of the people that usually defends them come in and explain how this all makes sense to you? I promise not to be mean, if you ask, I won't even rebut your points.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Who are the corner OF in AA and AAA, that could have come up the past week to help? And, if Wilson is a AAA CF, then he should be up here, not a SS or DH playing CF, right?
  25. Mike Sixel
    If you think either Hicks or Fuld is a CF, sure. How about Rochester and NB, who are their CF?
