    The twins also did the sunk cost thing on Capps.

    I'd move him to the bullpen full time, it is really his best shot to be a MLB player. But the team is slow to do that, in hopes that somehow these guys would become starters, when it is pretty clear they are not.

    Signig Pelfrey was nearly as mind boggling as signing Bartlett. For two years? Mind. Boggling. If you believe in May or Meyer at all, NO REASON to sign a vet you aren't willing to bullpen or demote. If Antony could explain this, from a strategy perspective, he'd be a PR genius.

    Ya, KLAW is a "so called" analyst....former scout, worked in a front office, flies all over the country to watch players in person, and has contacts all over baseball, but he's a "so called" analyst. Sheesh.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I never said stop playing him.....I said I'm worried about him. He also is a switch hitter, who takes the majority of his ABs from his weak side, unlike Gomez who didn't need to figure out how to fix two different approaches to hitting. He could be good. He could be great. Right now, he's not.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Feel free to ignore how bad he has been, if you want. Even if you can find 10 players that have done it in history, how likely is it that he becomes good after this start? If they are competitive, do you keep giving away at bats?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Do we know Gomez was this bad? ..... http://www.fangraphs.com/comparison.aspx?playerid=4881&position=OF&page=8&players=5297 but as I said, I have no idea how much depth went into the analysis, I was pointing out what someone said.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Might as well get mad at the weather, then. And how do we know what Thome or gomez or any other bat flipper is thinking? And who cares if Gomez is flipping his bat like I flip my middle finger? Why let any of that bother you? No one is actually hurt by this action, we don't know the motivation for the action, and yet people condone throwing projectiles at others at high speeds to keep them in line.

    Fangraphs chat had some information on this last year, no player that started as badly as Hicks has ever turned out to be "good"....but that comment (made by one of their staff, not a random fan) was buried in a weekly chat....so no idea the depth of the analysis that went into that.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Again, how is it bad manners to flip your bat? Intrinsically, how is it bad manners? How does it show them up? HE was celebrating a big hit, he wasnt' saying "you suck"..... And I don't care about other sports, we don't need to fix every sport before we can fix only 1 sport.....that's just an attempt to fix nothing because we can't fix everything. It's an awful way to run the world.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Most arguments have sides, that doesn't mean that we can't respect each other, or like each other, it means that we are arguing sides on a position.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'll repeat this from yesterday......if there was a work environment where people got verbally abused for wearing blue shirts (for no reason other than it has always been that way)....would people here defend that? Because that's what people are doing..... defending throwing dangerous objects at people that celebrate an achievement.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I never said it did....the other side is saying showboating and stuff is bad for kids....I'm saying if that is bad, then violence is worse.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Except the news is not making the stuff happening, it is saying what happened.....all the last three posts are...are logical fallacies about why we can't rip baseball for violence.
  15. Mike Sixel
    thanks jeremy. edit: not really thrilled that the offense is being carried by guys most don't think are MLB players.....this minor league system needs to produce some good players (more Pinto, less Hicks/Floriman)
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agree with theleviathan......the debate had just gotten interesting, that violence and petulance are ok, but celebrating a big hit are not......
  17. Mike Sixel
    What is up with the offense this year? I know three top prospects aren't playing, but not much else appears to be going super well....or am I just not reading these reports correctly?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Summarizing everything I said yesterday......yes, yes it is.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Thanks Brock.....this is why I turned down a job last year to be the director of one of our larger applications.....no interest in being on call anymore.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Cut Burton or one of the other older RH RP. Tonkin is better than them right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Since I want wins.....I am thrilled with this offense so far. Thrilled. No way I'd move Hicks up in the order......not until he shows he can hit a little, which he hasn't. I admit to some SSS disease, in almost believing they could win 75+ games this year.
  22. Mike Sixel
    ? people jump on and off SSS bandwagons all the time.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Just cut him. I don't get the obsession with not using the farm team RP.....their strategy is supposedly to build from within, yet Tonkin started the year in AAA, so they could keep all these "proven vets" around. I don't get their actual strategy, since they don't seem to follow it......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Yup. Time to cut bait or whatever.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Not at all....none of those give increased odds of the best teams advancing. Only the NFL gives first round byes, of the US pro leagues.
