    Isn't Polanco two years younger, at the same level? I'm not saying Michael can't be successful some day, but don't you think that is part of it?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Wait until they add Grueyer! Then it will be 15 (and they tried to have Bartlett....16).
  3. Mike Sixel
    Who here asked for above average within 5 months? No one.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Good read. I have been highly critical of the approach over the last three years, hopefully some of those guys work out, and they make me look stupid.
  5. Mike Sixel
    No amount of defense makes up for that bat. It just doesn't. 5 at bats a game, vs .5-1 hard play (on average) a game. It just doesn't add up.

    Why do we care if they lose florimann?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Cut Floriman now. Why is Santana not playing today? Why is Floriman still on this roster?
  8. Mike Sixel
    No such thing as hot, otherwise it wouldn't end. Lots of studies on the web about that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I wanted to win now in the off season. This roster is not constructed for that, imo. So I want the future up, and getting their feet wet, this year. That, to me, would make next year better. IF a rookie is up, I want him playing.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't get why Santana isn't going to start. Isn't the idea of rebuilding team to rebuild?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I obviously don't agree with everything doc posted, but that was a great, well thought out, post.
  12. Mike Sixel
    If it is not mismanagement to only have 2 OF on the 25 man roster, I don't know what is.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree, I was trying to throw the people arguing there was a AA CF option a bone.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    And now they have 2 OF on the roster, plus Herrmann.....2. That seems bad to me, but I could be wrong.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Wow.
  16. Mike Sixel
    ah, fair enough.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Not trading Willingham when he was healthy and raking....that was a team that could not decide what it wanted to do, imo. Signing Doumit? All about the present, and not giving some younger players a shot. Signing Pelfrey and trying to get Garza after that? That implied they were not planning for both (either?) Meyer and May to be up this year, imo, since they'd have 7 starters in the majors at that point. If you are implying that I do not understand this is a process, well, you are mistaken. I completely understand this is a process.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not sure where injury plays in here. Buxton was not a solution for at least the first half of this year, if not the whole year. But I could be wrong, maybe Buxton would come up this year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    From where I sit, it isn't clear they know the answer to this question. They did not deal vets at their peak, they did not sign any legit FAs last year, and they made some odd decisions this year that looked like the answer was both "yes we are trying to compete" and "no, we are rebuilding". This, actually, has been one of my biggest issues with this FO. They have not committed to a strategy. If they have, and this is a rebuild, it is an approach that looks off a bit.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Man, earlier on this thread I thanked Brock for having a civil disagreement w/o commenting on each other....that lasted two pages.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Maybe I am wrong....
  22. Mike Sixel
    congrats to everyone that had a great April!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Sam Fuld was not on teh roster at the beginning of the year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    My assumption was that Buxton would start in A*. At the beginning of the year, they had Hicks and Bartlett and who in AAA and AA as backup? *even if he started in AA, does anyone think he'd have been up before July/August or later?
  25. Mike Sixel
    How long should I continue to give the poeple that basically built this mess the benefit of the doubt* *as a fan
