    So if he's ready in teh spring, don't reward your season ticket holders with his presence? that's your stance.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Maybe he should stop switch hitting?
  3. Mike Sixel
    If he's ready, he should come up, I don't care about options, or super 2, or anything. When he's deemed ready, he should be up. I think he's ready next spring.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Options? You expect Sano to have to go up and down a lot? Y'all have way different expectations of him than I do..... How would he prove it? Machado proved nothing, in terms of numbers. What would be your success measure?
  5. Mike Sixel
    My point is, Anecdotes (sp?) are not proof of anything.....Hicks does not PROVE Sano should stay down, anymore than Trout proves he should not. He should be up just before he's fully ready, imo.
  6. Mike Sixel
    He's been better on both O and D than I thought. But man, saying that other bad hitters have been on WS teams does not mean you should assume a similar player can be on another WS team, or that you should not try to be better at the position. But, I think SS is not the "worst position on the team" like I thought it would be this year. That's LF.....or DH
  7. Mike Sixel
    Let's not be aggressive, like with Trout or Machado.....let's just wait, and then wait some more, and then wait again.....40 man roster spots? This is one of the 5 worst teams in MLB, and they have bad MiL relievers on the 40 man....there are not roster spot issues.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Oh, as for plunking hitters, that's worse than PEDs....you are trying to hurt someone else. The commissioner should be cracking down on that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agree with Bonnes, if you think he might be on your roster next April, bring him up in September.

    I'm currently running a program of staggering size and lenght in one of the biggest companies in the US......with all due respect, I disagree with some of what you typed, I know lots of execs that care about their future employment differently than you are stating. You sound lucky, frankly, given my experience in more than 1 huge company. I think it is naive to believe that Moore is under no pressure for the team to be BETTER this year. And, as someone stated, maybe this was an ownership decision also.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    You asked what the rush was, not what it should be.....if you are the GM, what would you do, only worry about the future guy's job, or your own job too...
  13. Mike Sixel
    Love the little guy succeeding.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Love the little guy succeeding.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Because Moore might not have a job after this year if they are not at least competitive.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Come on, they don't have Sano, Rosario, Arcia, Hicks up here.....it's not even close to the same situation Brock. We've been over this in the thread already.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Premature? They are the worst starting pitching in all of baseball, right? I don't see May or Meyer up here at all next year, certainly not in the beginning of the year. Diamond is a reliever.
  18. Mike Sixel
    After does not imply because......
  19. Mike Sixel
    Yup, a MLB team should just keep punting contention until every star is aligned perfectly, then sign legit FAs or make trades. And, they should keep charging MLB prices while doing so. That's the argument, right? Dayton Moore might not have a job in 2 years......Did I love the trade? No. Do I understand the trade, and not think it is the worst idea ever? Yes. Seth, no way KC has an ERA around 4.5 at the end of the year. We'll be lucky if he sees that number at any time in the next 15 months.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I am not yet a re-believer....but I'm glad he's hitting.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Hughes is intriguing to me for some unknowable reason.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Get rid of the umps, and use technology. Who cares if they "hit their spot"....I care if they threw a bleeping strike or not. (tom Glavine, I'm looking at you)
  23. Mike Sixel
    When Sano, Buxton, Arcia, and Rosario are all up, and all have at least 1 year experience, would I trade the next hitter in the org for a guy that is top 10 in WAR for 2 years, if I thought those hitters on my roster were legit, and I thought I already had a number 3 and 5 pitcher, and I also got another pitcher, and I thought my job was on the line? Yes, yes I would.
  24. Mike Sixel
    And no place did I say Smith was great......I said the problems from pre-Smith are finally out of the system, and that Smith acquired some of their top talent, and that they drafted well because they SUCKED. No place did I either acknowledge, or not, the staff changes made.
  25. Mike Sixel
    should have read "last year's of his first term". How is it ridiculous, exactly? I can't wait for Ryan to get all the credit for Sano, Rosario, and Arcia.....
