    On the plus side, that tenner bought me a nice drink....
  2. Mike Sixel
    so this just happened:
  3. Mike Sixel
    I thought so....definitely try Gordon over him most days....but ya, he's likely better than Celestino or Contreras....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I do agree I'd bring him on....and if we don't see Larnach, I'd bet he sticks.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'd take Gordon 100x over JBJ. And Cave over him also. The other two? Probably not......so, sure, if he gets to them I'd pick him up, but he's not long for the team.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Kepler will be back, right? Then Larnach? I'd take either of those over him....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I just think these guys, and this is clearly my opinion based on anecdotal observation, have a better shot at money and careers if moved to relief sooner rather than later. See Jax, as an example.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd like to see those two in high A this year..... And wonder about funderburk maybe moving to RP and getting more out of his pitches....
  9. Mike Sixel
    One of those guys was in the top 100, and two in the top ten for this team. That's not a gutting at all. Would I like more elite prospects, sure, but that has nothing to do with gutting the minors at all.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Of course, neither of those is a thing at all..... And what makes you think it is physical, and not something else? My issues are twofold.... Not every damn thread needs to be complaining about something that won't change. Every thread. Over and over and over. Second, this is how baseball is played, and it isn't a Rocco issue at all, but a twins/MLB decision. Complain, occasionally, about the game changing, but stop saying this is on Rocco.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Y'all realize it's the front office and the manager that manage the starters this way.... Or that almost no pitchers average 6 innings per start? Anyone here actually look at the rest of baseball?
  12. Mike Sixel
    And yet, this thread isn't about that. Not even a little.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure what the Cubs are doing, but I'd bet a lot Contreras gets a qualifying offer. Imo, it's better to trade guys than get another pick, but I'm no GM.
  14. Mike Sixel
    There isn't one person in baseball that agrees with your assessment of the prices paid. Wow.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It would be cool if one thread on this site could not be about the manager and how he manages the pitchers. Just one thread.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm changing my grade to A. The Padres have traded 66 prospects in the last few years, and are projected to be the best NL team the rest of the year. That might not happen, of course, but they've put themselves in that position. The twins didn't go that far, they still have nearly all their top prospects. But, they shored up their biggest weaknesses for this year and next, while giving up good, but not elite, prospects. It's hard to understand anyone not liking the base of players on this roster for this year and next. My impression of the FO definitely improved this week.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Well done.
  18. Mike Sixel
    In what way is it gutted? Not even close.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Irv Smith is hurt again?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Concur.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I agree with that last part....he should not be on the roster if he can't play. Well, pretty much your whole post.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Nice win, and nice to feel good about the bullpen.
  23. Mike Sixel
    And here I thought your first post was a joke. Interesting!

  25. Mike Sixel
    I just can't blame the FO for this.....Larnach, Kiriloff, Lewis, Kepler all hurt at the same time. Plus Garlick may now be hurt. It's hard to see how any team could lose their 2-5th best OFers at the same time and have a good OF during that time. Luckily, Gordon is actually have a decent year. And Celestino just isn't quite ready (is he hurt, I've lost count).
