    Given record revenue? Nothing.

    Do you have any evidence for this? Analytics doesn't say anything will happen or not with any certainty..... I'm not sure your point in that last sentence?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Do you have any evidence more CF get hurt than other positions?
  4. Mike Sixel
    No one knew Gordon would do this when Lewis was moved. No one. Also, explain the danger? There is no evidence that it is any more dangerous than other positions.

    Injuries are tough.... I'm good with them bringing him in, but it is not without risk..... My post was really about the board, not the pitcher.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    How is center field hazardous? They desperately needed a backup for Buxton. I think people are off on Wallner and his defense. I agree he should have been up much earlier. Miranda and his D make me more nervous, but he's the safest bet to hit. I agree he is a league average first baseman or DH most likely, but I bet he plays more than a little third next year. The other three should not be on the forty man roster to start next year.

    Weird he never felt that way under two well run teams, but does now under a poorly run franchise.....I think that context matters. That said, this is no different than any big business. If you work for one, you know that centralization swings on a pendulum, and that it will swing back to less control at some point.
  8. Mike Sixel
    People do realize Rodon was hurt the two years before this? The exact kind of guy people rip the FO for acquiring?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Addition..... Have a good plan for CF.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Great list. For me, cut Pagan. He's been awful for three years. His stuff just doesnt work. Acquire a very good starter. No cheap reclamation starters this year. I don't care how they talk,I don't listen to that stuff. But, if they do talk, they need to not be aloof.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Varland and SWR look like they might be legit. That would be great.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Only 45 qualifying shows it's a bad measure.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Fair. The front office tried, but the pitchers were terrible. Not sure how that's on the manager. They were nearly .500 the last four months, once they made changes. Even after trading Berrios.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree. That's not on the manager though
  15. Mike Sixel
    They did change their pitching strategy this year, based on having Bundy and Archer, among others. It didn't work. I would have preferred they let some starts go longer, but they literally changed from previous years.......
  16. Mike Sixel
    What difference would it make if they publicly said they made some mistakes? Most good leaders do that in private, to protect their people. As for not using bad relivers, some days that was his only option. I blame the front office for that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on that last part.
  18. Mike Sixel
    And yet, the Twins literally signed him last year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs roster resource is what you need.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't think the FO tried to win all that hard last year, given their moves. No manager was going to take that pitching staff and win. This year? They changed direction and it didn't work. I blame both the front office and the coaching staff. But, they clearly changed their approach, trading for Gray and signing CC. Also, their pitchers went deeper into games in 2019..... So they did change things.... It's possible they aren't good enough at their jobs.... It's possible that bad stuff just piled up, and it's isn't anyone's fault. We'll know more as time goes on, given they are keeping their jobs.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I agree the strategy didn't match the execution this year, and I mainly blame the front office and injuries for that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    We see this differently. What many attack is the need to criticize him for everything, in every thread, including celebration threads. Often with rude name calling. Criticize all y'all want, but doing it over and over and over in every thread is tedious. Look at game threads and their death. Look at some of the monthly or yearly minor league celebration threads There are good reasons to question his decisions without doing so over things he has no control over. Without saying he knows nothing, doesn't care, etc. I realize this is a fan site, and I'm fighting an uphill battle here.... As I've said, I have no idea if he should be back.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Can't tell if serious
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed
  25. Mike Sixel
    Name one poster that does that. No one defends him like the haters post mean spirited things. No one.
