    I see no sour grapes at all. I agree, this is why athletes don't talk much anymore...
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I don't get how this is a problem for anyone.
  3. Mike Sixel
    As long as 3+ of this list every month is a top prospect, I'm happy....
  4. Mike Sixel
    you can only prove something cannot happen, not that it can happen... No one that is a true WAR believer would claim that it has been proven to do anything, not on the Fangraphs site.
  5. Mike Sixel
    TiberTwins has it exactly correct....neither willing to commit to youth, nor to excellence.
  6. Mike Sixel
    USA, that's what it tries to do, no one can prove a positive....but that second paragraph is exactly what WAR is trying to do. And, it is based on hits, and slg and everything else you expect it to be based on.

    If you want to be the face of the franchise, you have to take the good with the bad. QBs get booed for the whole team's effort, not just their's, for example. If you want the big bucks, if you want the entire marketing campaing to built around you, if you want to be the face of the team, you need to realize you are going to take the brunt of the boos and badness, along with the goodness. If he didn't want that, he shouldn't have embraced it.

    Don't forget, Ryan was in charge of the drafts that did NOT develop players to come up the last three years....so I hope he's learned something new....or the scouts have, but let's be honest, none of that has changed in years and years.
  9. Mike Sixel
    hahahahha, you can really only laugh at this point. That thread, where we were asked what would make us question our fandom, keeping Clete Thomas on the roster might be the last straw for me. I am not a Terry Ryan believer, and in year 1, he's confirming my worst fears.
  10. Mike Sixel
    As long as Ryan is in charge, never. This organization does not fire people very often.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not blaming Gardy at all....this isn't on Gardy.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Clete Thomas plays over and over, and Slama sits in the minors. Where is the justice in the world?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sweet, Thomas is starting again. Unreal.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Becuase they do not understand the rebuilding concepts. That simple.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's only going to get worse, or maybe not. The only people in the stands this summer will be the hard core fans, so maybe the booing will drop. Becauase the booing is not just about Mauer, but the whole team....

    The Twins cut $15MM from payroll this year, third year in a new stadium, when the average payroll went up by $9MM. Please don't use straw man arguments to make your point. No one here is asking them to spend like the Yankees.
  17. Mike Sixel
    It is not the fans fault that they have had zero legit prospects come up in three years. This is not about fans, this is about the twins.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Do the Twins give you work out regimes? How about dietary suggestions? Sounds like a nice way to spend your 20's...have fun sir.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The Angels had scored 9 runs in their 6 games before the last two games....agree with a poster above, this roster is not constructed to win. Bad drafting (by Ryan), bad trades by Smith, and injuries to their only good pitcher and 2nd best hitter....no depth now that they feel the need to carry 13 pitchers and three catchers, no help in the minors. Don't worry, I bet they take that $15MM drop in payroll (in a year where MLB payroll went up on average) next year and buy some players....
  20. Mike Sixel
    nick, that's the news today. should we just stick to how bad the pitching is every day?
  21. Mike Sixel
    And that's why a guy with his speed has a negative baserunning stat...amazing. All these years...
  22. Mike Sixel
    Clete Thomas with more at bats...what a roster.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I gotta say, I miss Hunter more than any other ex twin (maybe Garza) from the last few years. The guy knows how to play baseball. We didn't need him though.
  24. Mike Sixel
    They are just awful at roster management, nothing has changed with Smith gone. I'm more convinced than ever that Smith wasn't calling the shots the last few years. NOTHING has changed in their approach, which should not be surprising, not one person in the FO is not homegrown....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Scenario: Mauer and Doumit both in the game, Butera on the bench, 13 pitchers on the roster...pinch hitter needed...no one available. Isn't this MORE LIKELY, than one of Doumit or Mauer gets hurt? NO OTHER AL TEAM has 3 catchers on it of a reason....because they worry about every game, not some mystery game that may or may not happen.
