    the offense has been good enough today to win. Nothing about that is sarctastic, I really believe that.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Not to worry, it's not like he's the interim and potential long term GM or anything....Sunk costs have been taught in b-school for over 40 years, and the Twins still don't grasp the concept.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Man, Dodgers sure showing the league you can't buy wins! Gotta draft and devleop your team.
  4. Mike Sixel
    1. If that were true, they wouldn't have signed him..... 2. I don't blame you, you aren't paid lots of money and don't spend all day* trying to figure out what to do with MLB players. *I assume you don't spend all day on this stuf....

    He also said he's hearing the Twins connected to Gordon now, clearly he's reading my posts here
  6. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the laugh, Seth!

    Ummm, the FO that signed Pelfrey to a two year deal? The FO that didn't want Abreu? I don't think they are stupid, I think they make some stupid decisions.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Deduno for Pelfrey (at the start of games, pls). In about 4 weeks, Meyer for KC. That's about 1.5-2 runs off the ERA....should net a win or 5. Signing Pelfrey.....to two years.....who thought that was a good idea?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Sarcasm is one of my favorite art forms, frankly.
  10. Mike Sixel
    And out of AAA, if he'd go. He's just clogging up the bases at this point....
  11. Mike Sixel
    DFA him. He serves no purpose, present of future. Whichever scout said sign him, and whichever FO person agreed, well, that person probably also signed a bunch of stiffs in previous years. DFA them too.
  12. Mike Sixel
    That's what I meant to type, sorry. I have ZERO confidence they will do what it takes to get a long term answer at SS next offseason. They had that chance this year, and passed, despite being FLUSH with money.
  13. Mike Sixel
    How many more games of this will you people with tvs have to watch? I feel bad for you. I only have to check the box score occassionally. I don't have to actually SEE it. Is it better or worse for your eyes than catching your parents....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Hicks is going with the "I will never swing again" approach that I tried in little league?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough....but then we go into next year with no SS again. It is a reasonable stance, just not what I would do.
  16. Mike Sixel
    IMO, Twins aren't winning anything this year.....I'm trying to be more ready for next year, Brock. You do open a hole at 2B this year, agreed. But, you learn if you have a SS or not for 2015. I also don't think Dozier is so frail that if he fails at SS, that he can't move back to 2B and succeed. But I could be wrong about that. I'll take that risk to see if he's a SS.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd probably work with him for a month or two out of games (again, if he's willing) and: 1. See if there is a chance it would work 2. Prep him for the move I don't like playing out the season, because then, well, you are going into next year with no SS again. My goal would be to find out, this season, if he can move back. You'll know with some certainty after 4-6 weeks of him praticing there, followed by 40-60 games of him playing there.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I am relatively confident between Rosario, Polanco, Goodrum, and Santana that one of them can play 2B by 15 or 16. I am signficantly less confident one of them can play SS at all, but somewhat confident Dozier can. I've made my points, you all don't agree. We'll see where we are next year, when they have no SS, and Rosario is ready, and Polanco is in AA tearing it up.....(I am sure my optimism about players in the system is throwing some of you off.... )
  19. Mike Sixel
    And, you suggested keeping Rosario in the minors all of 15, if I read your post correctly. That would be holding him down, if he is the potential AS 2B some here have said he can be.
  20. Mike Sixel
    What is knee jerk about planning for the SS and 2B solutions in the future, by moving Dozier to SS and seeing if he can play it or not? If anything, I'm suggesting the opposite, plan for the future by seeing what you have or don't in Dozier, as opposed to making an uninformed decision about his ability to move back to SS in the offseason.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I hate this idea so much it hurts. Holding down Rosario for another year, and him getting another year older, and the Twins getting no value out of him for another year. You still haven't said how to fix SS past that one year deal......if Rosario and Dozier are both 2B, and you have no SS in the system ready to come up. question: If Rosario in CF and Buxton in LF works offensively, why doesn't Rosario in LF and Buxton in CF work, since that works better defensively?
  22. Mike Sixel
    What do you do after that 1 year, sign another 1 year guy? That seems like a bad plan.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Never took your comment that way, my point remains: Their most likely SS in their system is Dozier. There were other ways to fix that this year, they chose not to, again. If they weren't willing to sign a Cuban this year, and weren't willing to trade for a SS this year, and weren't willing to sign a SS this year, why do we think they'd do it next year? Besides, any SS signed as a US FA will only be here 2-3 years, and you are back to having a black hole again.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Unfortunately, April counts, every single year......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Rosario, Polanco, maybe Santana, maybe Goodrum....maybe some other guy. There is zero chance Rosario is a SS. There is a tiny chance Polanco is (though, he'd be up here faster as a 2B). There is a larger chance Dozier is. I fail to see the downside. If it doesn't work, move him back to 2B. What is the out of org option, that could possibly be ready in 2 years, that they'd be able/willing to pay the price for?
