    All comparing Parmalee to other number 7 hittes tells you is how good the other hitters on teh Twins are compared to other teams hitters, it really doesn't tell you how good he is compared to players on other teams. So, if the other 8 hitters hit like butera, Parmalee would probably hit 3rd, not 7th. You don't play 7th hitter, you play RF or 1B or DH. That's who he should be compared to.

    I've muted the radio every game, after just a few at bats of listening.....that's a new record for me personally. Usually I go innings or complete games by now. Not sure what the stat is for that exactly.
  3. Mike Sixel
    But if he were a better hitter, he'd hit 2nd or 3rd or 4th.....so I'm not sure what that tells me. How many other RFer/1B/DH hit 7th? Comparing him to a bunch of other guys not good enough to hit 1-5th doesn't tell us much, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I get comparing him to RFers, but I've never understood comparing him to other people in the same batting order. Not complaining, I just don't get how it matters. I have no issue with Parmalee right now.

    Hendriks is 23, not sure how he can be out of chances.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I feel bad for him, frankly. Lots of guys with way worse stuff and way worse results have played for this team. It would have been great to at least have given him some time. I have no doubt he's trying his hardest.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I agree with jokin, they are sending him down because they don't need any pitchers for a week or so, so he gets to go to Rochester and pitch. When they need 5 starters again, and Hernandez is bad, Hendriks will be back (or Gibson, frankly). Really, this is more a demotion because Gibson will be ready when they need a 5th pitcher, than it is about Hernandez, imo. Because heaven knows you have to keep room for Pelfrey and Correia.....

    You can't be afraid to make moves because I guy might get hurt. That's just not a way to run an organization. why would you do that?
  9. Mike Sixel
    I wonder how long a guy like Slama can keep giving it his all, intentionally or not.
  10. Mike Sixel
    IMO, if he plays well and they send him down, it will actually be worse for PR. But I suspect there will be plenty of opportunities for this FO to successfully perfrom PR, and to blunder PR, the rest of the season. since the team is likely to stink, the future is what they need to sell now. Given that there are zero position players other than Arcia in AAA, and maybe 1 pitcher there, I'm not sure what they are going to do to fire up this fan base that does not involve both of them.

    Say them in public all you want, but don't say them to the press first. I would also suggest that you might want to give your employee a few weeks and several pieces of feedback, before you go public with your comments.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the update.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I fail to see how bringing up some hope is bad for the team. If he is ready, great. If not, he goes back down.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I blame Grady for saying he was too mad to talk to hicks, but he talked to the press first about the false hustle he wanted to see. Too mad to talk to the player, but willing to rip him first publicly. That is awful leadership.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I have never seen evidence this team is racist, not like the wolves at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    But he is handling Hicks so well.......
  17. Mike Sixel
    For an organization that takes pride in the "greenness" of the Field, I'd think running hot water over that much space might not be so environmentally friendly compared to people shoveling.....I mean, in GB, fans go shovel for free, just for the pleasure of it.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they aren't drafted high because the industry knows they don't usually work out at catcher, but you are right, it could be an industry mistake. those do happen.
  19. Mike Sixel
    heck, how do HS catchers drafted low work out lately? KLAW and others that know more about this than us are worried about drafting HS catchers. Now, if you want to argue someone is a great, great hitting prospect and his position just happens to be catcher now, that's a different conversation we can have.

    Baseball is meant to be outside. This is the downside risk to that move. Bummer for now, but totally worth it most of the time. We need games, so we can find something new to talk about....
  21. Mike Sixel
    The Dany actress is a compromise, they could not have someone that young (as the books) play that role on screen. That's the reason for that change. funny, I totally pictured the actress this time when finishing book 5 for Cersei, which admittedly is not the picture I had in my mind before.

    He will get the max the CBA allows. Immaturity runs rampant in sports (and the world). Really, there is no reason for violence here.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What do you do with him until May, because Hicks should be up here for more than 8 days....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree with USAChief on that.....if you were confident before the season, 8 games should not change your opinion* *of course, maybe Ryan and staff were wrong, and he is not ready enough to be here....I don't know they thought he was ready to be good, but I think they thought he was ready enough to be here that he would survive and learn here just fine.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It is really bad leadership to rip a guy publicly before you talk to the guy in person. I mean, just really bad.
