    Um, if I listen to the Twins radio broadcast over the internet, that's a bad thing? There is zero reason to block that out. It is free over the air, why not free over the internet? As for regional tv......that's a bit trickier, but the regions are quite badly designed.
  2. Mike Sixel
    it is a great system, if bottom heavy.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I find that hard to believe, scotty, but possible. Also, imo there is no logjam....Hicks is not a MLB corner OF (and maybe not a CF), Willingham is gone after this year, Cola is a nice story but is probably your 24th or 25th man, Fuld may not be that good, Pinto? I don't think so, Kubel is on a 1 year deal, but knowing the Twins they'll Pelfrey him, I am told Rosario is not a corner OF. So, I count 2 OF even on the roster for next year.....that's if Buxton comes up out of ST. Arcia is it right now. 1 OF. 1.

    I bet not one of you will buy one less ticket though.....will anyone that listens to G&G? Until the serious fans rebel, they'll keep doing it. I think the bigger issue is taking all the games off of free tv. About 1/3 of the people I know have no** cable anymore.....I "cut" mine last week* *still have super basic, but only to keep the TCO on internet access lower. This may change as I shop for providers **I know, backward...whatever......the new antenna works great, mounted in the middle of the floor, attached to the bass guitar, sigh. Should probably spend time figuring out where to put it before the tv show comes on I want to watch.....

    I'm confused how he has trade value, if he's a AAAA player. I'm confused that we should worry about losing him to options, but keep him in AAA. He has zero value in AAA. None.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I don't get how it is worth that at all. But then, I don't get all star games in general.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    What? They want less people interested in their product? What right do they have to restrict people from talking about a team? How is that even possible?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Willingham is done after this year, nothing about him * should matter to any discussion of others getting playing time, imo. If you aren't going all in to compete, you should get your young guys on the field and playing. *unless they are in a pennant race after July, and Willingham is healthy

    we know it is a joke, but given their moves this offseason, I think this might have been their plan (had he not been injured). Otherwise, their CF moves this off season make little sense.
  10. Mike Sixel
    kriby......there isn't one that is ideal.....that is such a sad list it is unbelievable really. Three years into a rebuild, and they have 1 legit OF on the 40 man roster (ok, two if you count Arcia and Kubel both). But, if I had to choose........Kubel in LF (wow, that's their best LF option on D), Arcia in RF, and, um, only defense? I guess Fuld?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Looks pretty good to me. I think they try to trade down again from there, to take Carr or someone else besides Mosely. But if they stay there, I think it is between Carr and Mosely.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Arcia is a long term option at OF, Parm is probably not. I would want Arcia playing his LT position up here.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Math is hard.....Gardy is paid 7 figures to do baseball strategy, Antony and Ryan and the FO are paid a ton of money, and they can't figure this out.
  14. Mike Sixel
    so it's better to have Parm in AAA, so you don't lose him, than to have him up in the majors and maybe lose him later? That, um, does not make sense.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Great read, thanks for doing the interview! I enjoyed the thought/line from your mom greatly. The insight into your thoughts on the FB speed was interesting.
  16. Mike Sixel
    that's what a team COMMITTED to a rebuild would have done last year. But man, this team cannot figure out it's strategy is at all...... 1. DFA Hermann, call up Parmalee, put him in RF until Arcia is up. 2. Put Parmalee at DH when Arcia is up, move Pinto to catching 2-3 times a week 3. DFA Florimann and start eithe Esco or Santana (though I'd have Santana in AAA) 4. Please do not make room for a 35 year old RP, when you are flush in RP in the minors. If your strategy is to build from within, actually try building from within for a change 5. One more month of May/Meyer in the minors, and if they are good, call them up and figure out what to do with Deduno/Pelfrey/KC, but don't keep them down for more than half the year because you are afraid of I don't know what with those three. 6. Move Dozier to SS in August, and see if he can play it. that is all....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Gardy keeps running Herrmann out there, because he was promised he would hear some of the Hermits music after a month or two. sigh. I am much better at complaining than writing jokes. I'll do better later, after I've been out, "working".
  18. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to Mr. Santana.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Right, in no way is asking for Meyer to be up the same as assuming he'll be at his best day one.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Why do I always think your silly ideas are really good ideas?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm really not interested in this argument, again. I started off by praising the article, even though I had been critical of them lately. Then we had to get into the whole "Smith sucks, Ryan is awesome", "no, Smith did some good things" argument for the 100000000 time. I hope to never have this discussion again, frankly.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Pinto, imo, is a very good offensive catcher. I'm not convinced he's a very good DH. I'd like to see him catch 2 times a week, to get better at it. I think Plouffe is fine, about averageish....I'm good with that. I have no opinion on Collo....other than Arcia and Pinto should both be in the lineup when they are both healthy and able.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Fact: while Ryan was GM, they never spent that much money (before the limits were set by MLB) Fact: while Smith was the GM, they did Those are the only two facts that we actually know. conclude what you want, I'll conclude what I want.
  24. Mike Sixel
    How does wating to start his clock the same year as Sano and Buxton, spread it out? If he needs to optioned three times after this year, he's not the playe we think.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Great interview! Thanks for taking the time.
