    I still think not, but my certainty in this belief has dropped considerably.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Not one player on this roster needs to even be thought of for this.

    It will be a tie on last, because SCOTUS will find the state constitutions unconstitutional this summer.....not sure what happens after that..... And most of the South is 2-3 generations away from SSM being at least tolerated, according to my friends from there.

    you know, this post reply by me was just bickering, so I deleted it. I'm going to try to stick to the topic, and not argue over stuff like this.

    Agreed, Bill Smith, thankfully, was the GM that brought them back into spending. I am so happy he was GM when some of these guys were there.....

    There is no skyline at that side of the city.....

    he's better than his stats.....

    Given that not one guy in this rotation was developed by the Twins (but hey, anyone that criticized the minor league system is wrong......), I don't think it is necessarily the development. But, it is hard to ignore how bad the team is at drafting, developing, and using SPers at the MLB level. Something is wrong/off. Btw, I don't think it is "we need to draft more college relief pitchers"....

    Why is SH a huge advantage, in isolation? Hitting only RH is a "huge advantage if the player can pull it off", I'd think.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't think it is a philosophy, I think it is an indication of the quality of pitchers.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Brock, I can't help myself, I keep coming into this thread.......can you make it so I can't even see the thread anymore? For my own sanity......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why is it what it is at this point? Why can't he be a RH hitter full time? I'm not saying it would work, but I never understood why they didn't try it at some point in the minors.
  13. Mike Sixel
    You sound just like the Lovre entrance haters too......I think a lot of people will share your opinion. I don't, but it's not like this is something based on reason, so it makes sense people would disagree.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Third in homers on the Twins is like being what? There must be some internet MEME here we can use......
  15. Mike Sixel
    I never believed in Pelfrey, nor do I think he's on the roster next year, so I only really pay attn to him when he's starting to see if the team wins or not......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Thanks Brock, I was too lazy to look up the numbers myself.....still not quite as good as I'd hoped at the beginning of the year, but not as bad as he's produced.

    Lots of glass is wise in the winter, it lets in the sun and heat, while still being insulating if done correctly. From the street view it reminds me of the pyramid entrance to the Louvre, frankly. The location is just stupid, really, really stupid. It should be on the Farmers' Market site, but the church and a handful of others kept it from happening.

    Yup, Plouffe is about league average. That's how great teams win, they have minumum wage league average guys, and spend big on elite players. Winning has been bad for Parmalee. If they were losing, they could have him playing more DH or something. They really needed him to play a lot this year to see what they had. Dozier needs to hit a bit more for my taste, but he's probably a utility guy once Rosario is up, and he'll be fine/good in that role. Worley is a bummer to me. I was thinking he'd have an ERA (or whatever advanced stat you want to use) around average or just better than average for a starter this year. Gotta leave him out there all year to see what you have.....I think. But if he pitches like this, he's a swing man at best. I remain hopeful, though, that he'll get better. Not sure why, but I do.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Splits, splits, splits. I won't be a full believer until he shows he can hit LH. If only there were more lefty starters for him to face......but it's great to see a game like last night. I wanted him up here once they dealt both Revere and Span, and I think he should stay up here. He can learn he as much as he canin Rochester, imo.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't think it happens w/o the push to make it unconstitutional. It will be hard to get more than a few more states to embarce freedom and liberty for all w/o SCOTUS forcing them to, unfortunately. I find the irony of being against religious oligarchies in the ME, and the attempt to enforce religion on others in the US to be tasty.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Caught between a sponge and a soft space......WS hitting and Twins starting pitching.....which will break first? I say the Twins win 2, maybe 3.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Or, go to the start by committee approach..... Diamond 2-3 relievers for the first 6 innings, each no more than 1 time through the rotation Correia 2-3 relievers for the first 6 innings 2-3 relievers for the first 6 innings Replace Pelfrey, Worley and Hernandez with three guys that can go 2 innings every few days. Keep 3-4 relievers in AAA ready to come up every 3 weeks or so, and have a bunch more strikeouts. That works better if you have 3 good starters, and only need to do the reliever thing 2 times every 5 starts.......but some team will try this some day, and be very happy with the results (and the price).
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good point, I agree, I think.....if you mean starting next year or the year after.....but then who is the catcher the other 100-120 games?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I think the point of contention is, if you don't spend the money on Justin, what else will the money be spent on? If nothing, then he's a better option than parmalee, apparently, so why not just sign him?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Just read the insider article on ESPN today......really not sure how the Twins could pass on Stewart if Appel, Gray, Bryant are gone.....
