    No, we were responding to the assertion that he is heavily involved in the actuall drafting of players.....no one was responding about whether or not TR gets it (ok, one post was). It's even quoted in post 54.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Ha......good one. More like considering moving to the Pacific NW in a few years.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I like guys that can acknowledge other posts that counter their arguments. Nicely done.

    They did not follow that route last year, in terms of calling up players in September to give them a taste for this year. on another topic, Sano is good, really good, at hitting the baseball. Can't wait to see him up here, if I'm still living in MN by then....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, loved this post.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I so want to reply to this, but am unable to do so maturely.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    facts, Puck, have no bearing in this conversation......
  8. Mike Sixel
    great research markos. thanks.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I agree on Hicks, I think it is time.

    Everytime I compliment Smith for his player acquisitions, I get reminded he does not run the draft. Everytime I rip the Twins for not having any good young players for the last few years (and how those players would have been acquired when Ryan was GM), I get reminded he does not run the draft. I just can't win......

    To be clear, I was with goblin's thought that spending less is a bad idea, not that Ryan has or will do that with the draft. Though they did spend under their alloted amount.....not that I think that had anything to do with anything, it was a pittance.

    How is it rushing? If he's healthy at the start of the year, he's already on the roster. he's going to be 26 this year. How is pitching in AAA less impactful to his arm? Or are you suggesting he's not mentally ready?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I never said that.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Nice writeup.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm with spycake on this completely. And also the goblin.....pick the BPA on your board (which better be a pitcher )
  16. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to Pelfry and his starts here? Or Deduno and his starts this year or last being consistent? he's going to be 26 this year, there aren't that many pitches left in his arm, frankly. Use them, or lose them. You really expect him to be super effective in 6 years, when he is 31/2? I don't.
  17. Mike Sixel
    No, I'm just not going to spend hours scouring the internet to answer your question......I'm not that interested. Did you read the whole post, or just cherry pick the one part? Are you certain drafting is the only way? You want to be Pittsburgh or KC or Seattle or Cleveland (who changed their path this year, and are better, weird how that worked)? You want to be Houston? Colorado?

    great post. I stand somewhat corrected. They really didn't change GMs twice, though. Ryan went on vacation, and stayed on as a consultant so he didn't have to take care of a bunch of things he didn't want to do, imo. When those were done, he decided to come back. But you are right, there have been a lot of changes. Now they need to aim higher, imo.

    Every inning Gibson pitches in the minors is one less he can pitch at the MLB level this year. If they are both coming up, Gibson should come up first. heck, they should both be coming up right now, and Pelfrey should be gone. He won't bring back anything in trade, and he isn't going to help them win this year. There is absolutely no reason for him to be on the roster now that Deduno and Gibson are healthy, and they have Albers and other AAAA pitchers ready to go if needed. By the time Gibson is shut down, Meyer can come up. Not sure why this is not the plan right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The Cards keep shedding high priced players, and replacing them with guys they drafted. I can name a ton of teams with below average payrolls that have tried to build exclusively through the draft, and have stunk for more than a decade. THERE IS NO ONE RIGHT WAY. And even if there is, it likely involves using ALL paths to acquire players, not ignroing one of them.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Congrats! What exciting news for him. I hope he crushes.
  23. Mike Sixel
    shoulda built a dome, they do know it rains there, right?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Moran going right after the Twins? Are we off on him?
  25. Mike Sixel
    That was done by moving Span and Revere, not by moving Mauer in the order......imo.
