    Very nice thanks.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Great info, thanks.

    You think this year was thin, wait for the next few.....teams are locking up players more and more, and only old, bad, or outrageously expensive guys will be FAs. It's just going to get worse for a few year, while all the new national money is being spent.

    Does that count as a full win? Wow, that is one sorry team in Miami. wish the Twins played them more this year.....Odell, always a good choice.

    No roof. Baseball is an outdoor game.

    Throwing at someone because they outplayed you earlier is immature. Unfortunately, there is a lot of immaturity in the world.

    Give me the legit hitter over the HS toolsy guys this time. They need a 1B and DH.....and Bryant has a shot to be very good at either. I know people do not like drafting 1B, as you can move people there, but I want the best hitters.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough, I'm hoping he returns to his stellar defensive form of a few years ago.....either way, still one of the greatest hitters in the game. And to me, this thread is more about Doumit, or should be. And as a backup catcher, I have no issue with him. It would be great, though, to have a better DH.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    That's nice. Managers also still think sacrifice bunts are a good idea. I know not everyone agrees, but the people who watch replays of every game, and map every defensive play, those are the people I choose to trust about who is good at what. Just curious, how much does Scioscia see him play? I mean, compared to the guys that watch every game, chart every play?

    I'm willing to give Ponder one more year to show what he has. Hardest position in all of sports, and that first year there was no training camp. Plus, that is one of the worst WR corps ever.....but he has to show a lot more this year to keep his job, imo. I really don't know what to expect. I'm just as worried about the D, though. Not one CB is a guy you can trust. The DL didn't get as much pressure last year, and I can't even name the 3rd LBer right now.

    Problem is, Doumit isn't a very good DH either, not compared to other DHs....now, compared to the options the Twins have, and teh fact he can also be the backup catcher, I'm good with him being on the roster. Personally, I believe catcher defense is one of the last great myths of baseball. Sure, framing might matter, but all the rest is probably BS. As for Mauer, he looks great compared to Doumit, but that does make him good at being a catcher. As far as I can tell, his defensive stats have been well below average for this year and last. I don't watch enough other baseball to compare him to other catchers, but those who do, don't score him so well anymore.

    It matters if you use high draft picks, and pass on guys that give you kore than 60 innings a year.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Great wrteup. I have my doubts you can take college relievers and make them good starters, I hope I am wrong, but there isn't much history of that. I read all the time that pitchers are high risk, and often do not work out. To that i would say that if you draft hitters, you are even less likely to develop pitchers..... i want pitching. The draft is the best path to it. Given this write up, I would take any of your four pitchers over any hitter.....though if you really think sano can stay at third, why is Bryant a bad idea? A top power hitting first baseman does not grow on trees.
  14. Mike Sixel
    KLAW had neither going in the top five in today's chat.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Who has more professional innings at 3B, Plouffe, or Sano? And, wouldn't it be easier for a younger guy to learn a new position? I think people need to give Plouffe some time before writing him off.

    "one can always dream"..........................................................................
  17. Mike Sixel
    one can always dream.....but let's be realistic, Worley is a legit #3/4 in the NL, and Wimmers was once considered a safe number 3. Neither is Duensing..... And, I was replying to people suggesting somehow Willingham alone could get a good pitching prospect.......the only way Pit trades one of their big prospects is: 1. they get something good and young in return 2. they really, really, really want to get over .500 this year Otherwise, I see no chance of dealing with Pit
  18. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Brock, like always....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Plouffe could go to first, if Parmalee isn't good....
  20. Mike Sixel
    They are deep if you consider their starting staff in the majors is young, and awesome.....it isn't just about the minors, but I did not make that clear...my bad. You also just totaly ignored the "they are world serires contenders" part of the post, which to me is the biggest delta between them and the Pirates.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Tallion and Cole are much better prospects than the Twins got....or are you suggesting they can get Profar for Willingham? Some systems just aren't as deep as others. Also, Revere and Span are younger than Josh. Both also play defense. The Nationals have a super deep system, and a team that is a WS contendor, they were more likely to give up some of the future for the present than the Pirates are....
  22. Mike Sixel
    They have plenty of cash, I hope they use it.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree, Cole and Tallion are probably not attainable, but what if you did this? Willingham, Worley, Wimmers (or something like this). yes, that makes 2013 even WORSE, but 2014 looks a lot better....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I think they are about what they were last year, 8-8, plus or minus 2 games.
  25. Mike Sixel
    i was not clear, I would not move him up now either. I was trying, badly, to say that he could move up as a reliever, but not as a starter. That's what happens when I type on my phone.....
