    Dobbs looks awful. Lucky not to have three picks....
  3. Mike Sixel
    If Kirk ever had this defense...
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why do I watch?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Utter domination for nothing. Seriously. Ugh.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I never want to see him touch the ball again, which, ya, he's actually been good tonight.
  7. Mike Sixel
    We can compliment Dobbs without ripping cousins.... Please
  8. Mike Sixel
    Is there a worse team at the snap on offense?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Lucky Dobbs doesn't have three picks..... The coach got way too cute on third down
  10. Mike Sixel
    My mom is here, and she likes the sound on. I never listen
  11. Mike Sixel
    Awful play
  12. Mike Sixel
    Lions will win
  13. Mike Sixel
    No surprise, neither team nor money
  14. Mike Sixel
    Denver
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not relevant now, thought, right? We are talking about now?
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's my belief also.
  17. Mike Sixel
    It's possible they sign crappy veterans also....or that they get hurt. This fear of even adding one rookie a year baffles me, especially for fans of a mid-market team with a budget.

    I think they deal Gordon, but it is possible they deal Castro....but I think Castro has more defensive versatility.....speaking of that, I'd like to keep Farmer, since he can actually play SS.....but I don't know what they'll do. The did show, last year, how much they value depth......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I even said "imo"....to make it clear it wasn't absolute! Hope all is well. Enjoy the banter.

    I'll address the middle part about context. This is 100% why you don't take context into account....Here is a real life example. Luis Castillo had negative value to Cincy when traded. They weren't making the playoffs, and he cost real money. Each start for him was one they couldn't use on someone else to gain information about them. He had extreme value to Sea, MN, and NYY....as they didn't have 3 very good / great starters for the playoffs. He had less value to LAD and HOU, since they had "enough" starters for the playoffs. that's why you take context out, why you use some generic replacement player. WAR isn't about VALUE at all. It is a tool to measure the outcomes produced by players so you can compare the outcome produced. Here is another way it isn't about value / context. Burnes likely produces more WAR next year than Peralta. But, Peralta has A LOT of control left at a low cost. He's going to cost more to acquire than Burnes for those reasons. WAR isn't a tool for measuring that. It ignores that context. If you want it to do more than it is made to do, well, it won't, because it isn't made to do that.
  21. Mike Sixel
    pretty sure I said all these things in my post?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Adley was held back for another year of control, likely costing Bal a playoff spot.....a lot of those guys should have come up sooner, which is kind of my point. And, they often go back down, meaning the sooner you get them up, the sooner they come back up....we'll likely disagree on this. I'm ok on this.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Did Wallner outhit what others did last year? I don't know, asking...because some guys dominated AAA, but no one trusts the STP numbers. I hope they never have to run out the 9th OF choice again either, that was unreal....but no amount of depth can handle that many injuries.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Nothing about Gallo over Wallner was right, imo. But thanks for the correction on the stats, certainly not how I recalled it. Still doesn't address the actual question....what would a guy have to do to "force their way up"? How awesome would a guy have to hit in AAA (especially since no one trusts the numbers)? Like, what could Martin even do if they sign a CF and Buxton is healthy and sometimes playing CF, but mostly DH?
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's a good question, especially since there is zero chance he's starting at 2B for the Twins unless they lose Julien, Polanco, Lee, and Farmer all at the same time. His future is in CF or LF, not 2B, imo. (though he can be a utility guy that also plays 2B). The only thing I can think of is...well, two things....they wanted him comfortable on his return, and they think 2B is harder to master so they had him working there. The third option is they think he's a 2B......which, um, then he'll be dealt at some point next year.
