    As pointed out, no, Taylor isn't close to a legit starting CF. And, there is no indication they want AK in the OF right now (I'd do it, but if you look at AK this whole year, he's not been all that good, yet).
  2. Mike Sixel
    You base this on what? We have no idea how the players feel about him. None.
  3. Mike Sixel
    The buck stops with the FO not giving him any good OFers at all....and a DH that isn't healthy.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ah, got it. Yes, it would be great if they had good players (which was the point of my post, they don't, imo). And, I don't think for 1 minute Acuna would rest once a week.
  5. Mike Sixel
    hahahaha. Rose colored glasses? He's calling for changes all over the board.
  6. Mike Sixel
    you believe that CC would hit better if he was placed in the 3 hole and left there? What routine really changes other than the first time thru the order?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Based on what? Outcomes? Also, yes or no, the OF hitters on this roster are legit starters?
  8. Mike Sixel
    We really going to use BA as the sole measure? Some of those are rounding errors..... You can think it is the hitting coach, but I would argue having three DFA / backup players as starters in the OF, before this year that's what they were, is the issue, not the batting coach. Also, it is clear Buxton and CC are hurt, so I'm sure that's a much bigger issue for them than the hitting coach.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious, but isn't their role to get a hit, no matter the spot in the lineup? I can't imagine it matters one iota to the vast majority of veterans what their batting order number is, other than pride.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Not my point at all.....my point is that that's not what sunk the season, since he was on the team last year and they didn't win then either.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    So you think this is a good hitting roster? It isn't the players?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Wallner could be worse than Kepler, but we won't know if he doesn't play, putting them in a bad spot next off season...... You gotta find out this year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I mean, Gallo was amazing at first, but not so much lately. He won't be back next year, and as constructed, this team isn't winning the WS. Now is the time to move on. See what you have in the young players so you can decide what to do next off season......
  14. Mike Sixel
    I have zero confidence they are willing to move on. It's very disappointing. DFA Kepler and Gallo. Call up any two OF from Larnach, Wallner, Kiersey, Celestino. Possibly Williams and move AK to the OF. Il Buxton until he can play the field. Call up another OF or Williams or Carmago, who can catch and DH. Keep all the young guys in the lineup all year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Would you expect teams to pay over performing players more than their contract? I'd consider retiring if I was him, but maybe he thinks he can come back next year?
  16. Mike Sixel
    The list was about performance, not prospect status. I mean, they have Lee as the top prospect.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    How many games did they win last year with Arraez on the roster?
  18. Mike Sixel
    They literally have three backups or worse in the starting OF, and people don't think it's a roster issue.....I don't even know what to say.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to believe, but I agree.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't want Gonzales.
  21. Mike Sixel
    This post is clearly about the MLB hitters. You want to talk something else?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hitters? Lots of them. Are you arguing this MLB roster is good at hitting?
  23. Mike Sixel
    It's the roster.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Some of those guys are clearly MLB players, I'd hope they slash well in AAA.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Gallo brought in, and Kepler kept for depth (mistake on mistake). It is an emotional reaction to last year having to play all the guys from AA basically last year. To me, that's the best example.
