    I'm curious how you know this to be true?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Odds are that plane you get on won't crash, but it still might....that is the nature of "odds". There is ZERO absolutism in analytics. Zero. And, 100% you can make a good decision that doesn't work, or a bad one that does. If you drive home drunk and don't kill anyone, that doesn't make it a good decision.

    Would you rather have Martin in LF or 2B? I don't know the answer.....I just wish he'd played more OF in the minors
  4. Mike Sixel
    I had a baseball he signed, thinking he'd be a STAR someday. Pretty sure I just used it at some point and it is gone now.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm not convinced owners (some of them) want to spend more than they are.....or some of them would have allowed it before the year. I guess we'll find out in a month or so...
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I was hoping, but not expecting....and those fines are meaningless (at least to the team).
  7. Mike Sixel
    I don't know. If it's easier to make the playoffs, why go spend prospects and money? Just make the playoffs and get a few million more in ticket sales. Alf: Do you think that the “seller’s market” thing is overblown? Or will there really be a significant difference in the cost of acquiring established players? 12:50 Dan Szymborski: Tends to be overblown, but ti’s real in a limited way I think

    Just say no to HS pitchers.....the odds are soooooooooo small. So very small.
  9. Mike Sixel
    This. This idea that growth is linear? Not true. This idea that there is always a person to blame? Not true. Stuff happens. Random stuff. Injuries. Coaching changes. Adjustments. Etc...... The most likely, simplest, explanation is that a WHOLE LOT of bad things have happened, injuries, adjustments (by him and pitchers and coaches, and him to play thru injury), inconsistent playing time, etc.....all these things add up. And even then, the simplest explanation is that MLB is HARD, and sometimes things don't work out right away or at all.
  10. Mike Sixel
    concur.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'd likely stand pat....I'd prefer not to sell if they are are playoff team. But no way I'm dealing any young players for rentals, not with this roster. Not getting a legit SP and one great hitter (instead of multiple mediocre players) was a huge blunder....
  12. Mike Sixel
    If Lewis is healthy.... Huge.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This.
  14. Mike Sixel
    This thread is about Farmer..... And he's not helping.... If you want to talk about the other problems, there are plenty of places.
  15. Mike Sixel
    You said it was easy to find relief pitchers any time. If true, and teams will trade for yours, why not trade them and find those relievers just lying around?
  16. Mike Sixel
    ooops.
  17. Mike Sixel
    So trade Duran and Jax for an overpay, and fill the pen next year with random guys?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't be shocked by this......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think it will be a Miranda/Julien rotation (with Julien at 2B some too).....unless Julien has forgotten how to hit, which I doubt.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Imagine if they'd have moved Jax to the pen earlier......which some of us suggested more than once, and were told that keeping them as a SP longer was good. What's good? Being in the majors and getting PAID, even as a RP,, not being in AAA....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I literally have no idea what to think at this point. Other than I'd put Julien at first, and lee (or other) at second next year and see what happens.....if AK doesn't take off this year.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I can't see the Twins dealing SWR, who is cheap and has been effective, if not great, as a 23 year old .....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I get it, if I disagree I'm "silly".... Of course I'd rather have Varland be good, I'm not sure how that's in doubt.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    sure, but that hardly makes him untouchable....as Seth implied. It's not like he's ahead of a bunch of guys either....
  25. Mike Sixel
    4. I have no idea why Winokur is on this list at all. 5. DeAndrade is on my no trade list, unless the return is great. He's a legit SS prospect. 6. Ya, if they could get a doughnut for Prielipp at this point, I'd take it.
