    If we assume that players struggle at first (not sure that is true, but ok), and you want to be competitive in 14/15, wouldn't you want Arcia up this year for sure? Doumit isn't very good as a DH, but he's fine as a backup catcher.
  2. Mike Sixel
    How much time, Brock, IF Arcia is ready? Let's say Arcia is ready June 1, and Parmalee is struggling, what do you do? Continue to punt on this year, and keep Arcia down to see if Parmalee can grow? Or bring up the guy that deserves to be up, and do whatever with Parmalee? It's not like the Twins had other options like Arcia sitting in the weeds when Cuddy and Kubes (see, I can be cool) were coming up. For the guy that said he'd "settle in" to an 800 OPS, that would have put him 33rd of qualifying OFers in all of baseball in 2012, that seems unlikely, and I'd hardly call that "settling in". I'm also not sure how that's "serviceable".

    What's to figure out? I'm sorry, but the swing is the thing, not the arm of the pitcher. And just because people didn't do it in the past does not mean it should not be done in the future. I don't think anyone is worried about his defense, if they are, I have no idea why. It's his offense that people have worried about for a couple of years now.

    Their next pick is not in the top 20.... And I'm not the one making excuses for the farm system, others on this site are. Good drafting and developing can be done later in round 1 (or later), the Cardinals are proving that year after year.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I think fans might be patient, IF other players are also being brought on that are showing progress.....but if he and Arcia are it for 2-3 years, I think they won't be patient with him because they will be mad about the rest of the team and take it out on him.....it really matters if the GM and Manager are patient though, not fans.

    Still getting that error on the iPad when I first go here on Chrome. I'll try to take a picture and post it this weekend.....

    He's paid to be a professional athlete. The cold is a lame excuse, imo. It's his job. But I do agree wtih those saying he should be up here until either Arcia forces him out (as he's clearly the better prospect, and should be up here when he's ready), or he's proven to be bad for 3 months. Give him more time, there is no one else ready right now.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I still think they should have tried to see what happens RH against righties last year.....I don't get why you'd not just try it.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Neither do I. People say the Twins' minors degraded because it is hard to pick good players in the 20s, now they might go two straight years picking in the top 5 and pass on high end pitching, and many of those same people are saying it isn't a problem because they can pick great pitchers in round 2........ Since the Twins refuse to sign it, and they will not trade for expensive players, where do people think they'll get top flight pitching if they keep passing on it in the draft? Appel would be their best SP right now, and for the next 4 years.

    My favorite part of this site. Thanks Seth, and thanks in advance to all the writers.

    Competitiveness is not about who wins the championship.....it is about hope during the season. Stark and others do not seem to get this point. The rest, who knows......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. A great thread about a win, ruined by "there is a wrong way to be a Twins fan" post again. So tiring.
  13. Mike Sixel
    how is it not segregationist or bigotry to deny other people the same legal rights based on how they were born? I'm not gong to be mean to you, I want to know your argument for how this is different than whites and blacks can't intermarry.
  14. Mike Sixel
    mmmm, food....and I gotta say, I agree wtih ash, that line seems a bit over the top...
  15. Mike Sixel
    Time to call up Arcia, obviously* *in the spirit of CBSSports first MLB power rankings, of course
  16. Mike Sixel
    BTW, I like the hire, given what happened before it. If you can't get the guy(s) you want, roll the dice. don't just hire a retread.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Cannot wait to watch season 1 again, and then to watch season 2 for the first time.....depends on the weather this weekend....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Can't wait until Kepler is on that list.....

    Home runs are so elegant. Prety. Efficient. Effective. They are the epitome of elegance.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ya, but is it jumping the shark?
  21. Mike Sixel
    When did I say Buxton would be 6 years away? Not one time in this thread.
  22. Mike Sixel
    There really should be a troll smiley available, Brock....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ah, so it's even worse. If you live out of town, and are travelling, you can't watch if you are here? This is all an attempt by the tv and radio networks to maintain control, imo. And, for football, it will matter. Eventually they'll move more to cable delivery. What amazes me is that we fund the stadiums, and don't demand a percent of games on free tv to compensate taxpayers.
  24. Mike Sixel
    It is amazing how backward people can still be.....I'm assuming this thread is safe for politics.... This is one reason we will never move to the South. Unreal.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Brock, get a cousin from out of state to subscribe, and use their login.....that's the best way from what I hear. I don't do that, but I know many others that do. Imagine living in Iowa, and not being able to watch MN, CHI, MILW, or STL. Or other places like out west where people that live hundreds of miles from Seattle can't watch them.
