    Oh, ya, I'm blatantly stealing your idea here.
  2. Mike Sixel
    If I was the GM (thankfully for all, I am not)....I'd not extend one starter, and use that money to sign Nola (if he's still a FA). Nola, Ryan, Lopez, Ober, Winder, Varland, SWR, et. al. looks like a pretty good rotation to me.
  3. Mike Sixel
    at some point, you have to play young, unproven, players. Imagine the articles here when Koskie first came up......
  4. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I apologize.
  5. Mike Sixel
    At least half the articles now. It's so, something.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think people in this thread are replying to the idea he faced top pitching in the AFL, which the article implied, but isn't close to true. I think people, most of them, are tempering their excitement given that. Some clearly aren't believers, but some are.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Not according to half the articles on this site. If the player isn't perfect, its just too risky. Also, if they don't develop players and play them, they are stupid. So, um, good luck?
  8. Mike Sixel
    This site. Wow. Just. Wow.
  9. Mike Sixel
    The article literally called him a number three starter, and you read he can't pitch?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Those stats would make him a borderline number two starter.... I'm a believer. I think he's a legit number three, four, starter right now. He'll be in the rotation full time next year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He could play left field defensively with no issue. Probably only needs a few weeks at second base. He'd be a good center fielder. I am not sure I understand your post
  12. Mike Sixel
    Like the Twins aren't as high on Povich as some? Sure.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If it were true that the Jays never trade good prospects, no one would trade with them. Ever.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Phew. I couldn't handle another few days of over wrought angst on the main Vikings site I go to.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Farmer is the backup SS this year.....I admit not knowing who it is after that. I think any of Lewis/Lee/someone else could play there 20-40 games a year if needed, even if their primary position was elsewhere. I'd guess, not knowing, they would be like Polanco was defensively, fine given their O. I think Lewis should be in CF and RF going forward (as I think Lee is your 3B going forward). I'd put Martin in LF/CF/2B. I'd put Julien at 2B/1B, I think. Given Martin's speed, it would be great to have him around for the 10th inning.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    A bunch of people on a website say that.....I doubt the Twins say that. And, as you say, it is bad advice to the coach. I'm not sure what your argument is?
  17. Mike Sixel
    The internet is so hard to get context sometimes. In fairness, I think he's going to be good.
  18. Mike Sixel
    What year was he last healthy?
  19. Mike Sixel
    They tried to improve his swing. It didn't work. You don't fire someone for trying to make someone better. It seems to be working for a ton of AA players......sometimes things don't work. Then you adjust your approach with that player.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm baffled that we can discount his odds after what he did last year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Which player on last year's roster should have tried to steal more? If you aren't successful 80% of the time, you are giving up runs. As for Martin, I'm still a believer. However, he didn't face anywhere near good pitching in the AFL. Most analysts compare the pitching there to AA or lower.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I see little evidence on this site people are underestimating those odds. This site isn't a bundle of optimism...
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why are we assuming Gallo plays first, and not larnach, if AK is hurt? Why are we assuming larnach isn't the DH many games?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Good thing you weren't the GM when Hunter struggled. Miranda was a rookie. He might not be great at third, but to write him off after one year is amazingly impatient.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I clearly read that wrong! sorry.
