    Cool, thanks.....was about to type an odd circuluar thing, but I think your point is valid. Top 25, not top 5.....of course, my general point is also valid, that it is about opportunity, as much as SLG.
  2. Mike Sixel
    No issue....and my 73 assumes he comes up in a week.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    So, 130.....that's why I wanted Gibson up before Deduno.....so he's not burning innings in AAA. He'll have around 57 after his next start.....leaving only 73 for the majors? * *edited out the rest for my dodo head part....

    Oh, I get the JD disdain, I never felt it, but I know why others did.
  5. Mike Sixel
    jaspatrick.....nice third post, I agree with everything you said. I posted my other stuff because we just don't know for sure what he wants.....but I suspect you are correct.
  6. Mike Sixel
    So, there is a limit? bummer for this year.....I recall that Seth.
  7. Mike Sixel
    ThePuck, as I told someone on a Vikings' message board the other day, if Mauer followed Mauer in the draft (figure that one out, Doctor), he'd be top 5 in RBI every year. It is about opportunity.
  8. Mike Sixel
    You just made me laugh, and I appreciate the humor, really.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm with Seth, I don't recall a Twins' official giving us a number, I'm not sure I recall one even mentioning there being a limit. It seems like speculation to me.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Right, there are both sides to the choice, I agree. College would be waaaaaaaaaaay more fun than minor league baseball. No disagreement there at all. But you have to rationally think about what you are giving up if you go to school. And then decide. A million? I'd seriously consider college, but it would be a tough choice. $4MM? I think I'd play baseball. That enough to last a lifetime if you use it wisely.

    at this point, I'm not sure what Parmalee's role is....so why not send him down?* *I am assuming if they send down Hicks, that he is replaced by another CF/OF, still making Parmalee free from having a role. But, I have no idea if he has options, I assume he does.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I've never given a number....so I hope that isn't aimed at me. Also, I think they have not stated one way or the other that he is on a limit, not that I can recall anyway. Given their general approach, I just assume he is on some kind of limit. If someone can prove you wrong, I'd be impressed.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I said leave it up to him, if he goes to college, good for him. But I'd want him to know what he's giving up in return. What is the fun of college worth? How much are you willing to risk? Ask Matt Barkely about that....he didn't even get hurt. but, it is up to him as I said. For some people, it is about money and certainty. For some people, it is about experience. for me and my fanily, it has been about experience, we've passed on money.....but we've never passed on millions (and millions to do one of the things he loves to do, not to sit at a desk all day, every day).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Underslot only works if there is a guy in round 2 to sign, and they succeed in signing him. What are the odd of that working? 20%? 40%? I just think it is too risky to pass on potentially elite talent, get a lesser talent, and MAYBE sign another less talent....and how much better is that player you take in round 2, than the guy you would have taken anyway? If you could get Moran and Manaea, would you rather have that, or Bryant/Stewart?
  15. Mike Sixel
    well, I thought they took more than 1 college reliever last year, my bad. I totally am remembering wrong (though I was mistaken and not thinking only sandwich picks, so maybe I'm not wrong).* * I thought Melotakis and Chargois were relievers, along with Bard....but again, I could be remembering wrong. And yes, I get that was round 2, not sandwich rounds.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what he is thinking, but if I was advising him, I'd tell him to look at guys that went back to school in the college world, instead of taking the money from the NFL....and then ask him if he wants to be certain of being a millionaire, or have fun in college and maybe never be a millionaire if he gets hurt.....and leave it up to him.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, this would thrill me. If Moran and Bryant went before they pick, the Twins would have an arm that is better than any in their system, an arm that could be up in 2014 at some point.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I said "fair enough...I understand why they made this move"......I don't hate the move, I just would have preferred Gibson. I'm thrilled Hernandez is out of the rotation. I look forward to the day that Gibson and Deduno are both in the rotation over Hernandez, Pelfrey/Correia. I look forward to Meyer being up here. I would have done it in the other order, assuming Gibson is on an innings' limit. Maybe he's not, maybe his innings won't be mostly used in AAA before he is shut down. I have no idea if he's on a limit or not, but I assume he is. If so, I'd rather he be up for more of those innings than less. That's my only disagreement with the decision, as I feel both he and Deduno will be up this year.

    Last comment....the rush for me: I don't like watching bad baseball players. I don't want 2014 to look like this year, which is looking like a complete and utter waste of a year. The sooner the great players are up, the sooner they are effective* *admittedly, not everyone agrees with my theory here....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough, I guess. At least they pulled the plug on Hernandez, that's a start. I would have preferred Gibson, and I think Albers has maybe, maybe earned it more, but I understand why they made this move. I disagree with the logic.
  21. Mike Sixel
    again, thankfully I'm on mute. I've not asked for that, but I can understand your frustration with my posts here. I'll take a break, but then people need to not ask me questions.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    This is reasonable skepticism, btw. I would not see this being wrong, for sure.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If I knew with say, 80% certainty, he could stay at thrid, I'd be ok with 1 more year. But: a: I don't believe he can; b: I don't think the TWINS will only wait one more year. It's a bit of a trick question, though. Because if they had moved him to RF last year, he'd have been in high A last year, and now might be in AA this year, and in the majors next.......Now, we are looking at how long in A ball, how long in AA ball, how long in AAA ball? Really, I think if they had moved him to RF last year, he could be starting next year for the Twins. If your scenario means 2016, instead of late 2014, then no, I don't want to wait.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Those are only for injured college relievers, not starters. Geeze...... /s
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ya, for a team that refuses to use FA to get good players, being happy with Dozier and Hermann is awesome. If your entire strategy is built on drafting and developing players, you have to be A LOT better than the other teams, or your strategy does not work.
