    Agreed. It is POSSIBLE he could work out of the pen, but even that seems unlikely......His stuff isn't going to get out MLB hitters....that said, if they try it, fine. Also, if they try it, it will confirm, for me, their insane belief that only old guys should be on the roster this year........and, i get not everyone agrees with me. I'm not trying to convince anyone here...
  2. Mike Sixel
    Great insight, which I agree with! Love the upside here, and believe he needs a couple years to get used to his body.
  3. Mike Sixel
    This. We have no idea what his condition is. Other than they don't play him in the field, which is an indication of what they think it is. I really wish he could play the field, but wishing isn't going to change anything.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Are you of the belief they aren't playing him there, even though he clearly could? That anyone wants him at DH, and not the OF? Actions speak loudly. They don't think it's a good idea. Or they'd play him there. Hopefully that changes in the future.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I love that he came here
  6. Mike Sixel
    Dang. I still argue it was with the risk.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Thanks. So, ya. Getting worse isn't a problem. They can't win with this team. Find out if you can with the next set....
  8. Mike Sixel
    It's also just the kind of thing a leader says, true or not......so I didn't miss the point.....Other than "You're fired" or "You're hired" very little of what the owners say matters at all, and might not even fully reflect their feelings or how things really are. Leaders don't bash their employees in public, generally....they try to be diplomatically nice.

    I mean, no one could be worse than Miranda has been this year, so either is worth a shot at third for me, while Miranda goes down and hopefully fixes things. Look, to all the naysayers on trying these things....the team has scored 2 or less runs in 40% of the games ( I read that on the site, so if that's totally wrong, then my argument is less sound, if it is 3 runs, my argument is still good, but not OBVIOUSLY good). That is 100% not a winning total, so possibly getting worse isn't an issue....because they aren't good enough now. There are three years of data on Gallo and Taylor and Kepler to tell us this is who they are......
  10. Mike Sixel
    And? This offense is terrible as is.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think the idea, which I don't hate, is to put Goldy at first, and AK in the OF..... I mean, it's not what I'd do....I'd put Polanco at third, Wallner in RF and Larnach in LF. If Polanco can't play third, I'd put Severino there. I'd promote Severino to AAA last week.....I would consider calling up Carmago to play C and first, or Williams to play first and AK to the OF (over Larnach, who I'm losing faith in).
  12. Mike Sixel
    IIRC, there might be an injury issue.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Polanco at third for sure, over Julien. Julien has no chance at third, IMO. They 100% need CC and Buxton to hit, though.
  14. Mike Sixel
    we can only hope at this point! Truth.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I get that.....you need 13 pitchers in the majors, and a like number at every level. Give me pitchers! But sure, you CAN find players anywhere. I merely expressed a preference, not some kind of criticism or anything more or less. Anyway, really liking this draft.
  16. Mike Sixel
    None of whom are catchers, which is the post I was responding to....suggesting to not take a C in the upcoming picks, but to wait....
  17. Mike Sixel
    What do you expect him to say? Realistically, so that other players will still want to come here, what do you expect an owner to say?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm suggesting getting a catcher late, is less likely than pitcher, hence, keep taking pitchers. That list is pretty pitcher full.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's been a few days since we had a Buxton can play the field thread. As if the team wouldn't play him out there if they thought it was a good idea....
  20. Mike Sixel
    That's an amazing stat!
  21. Mike Sixel
    some people expect new players to be studs immediately, or judge them as busts. Thankfully, every FO has more patience than some fans. Admittedly, he hasn't exactly been great.....yet.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Can? Sure. Likely? Um, no?
  23. Mike Sixel
    by everybody you mean a handful of people, I assume?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure they don't take them w/o a number agreed to (or close to agreed to).....so I'm guessing they do sign them all.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather they keep taking pitchers at this point. It would be unusual for a C taken this late to be good at the MLB level...I'd just keep waiting on C.
