    the leash was long last year because they had no options (I hope that is why). I never trusted the Bundy signing, so I'm hoping he's not a starter again....and I agree with many, there will be a 6 man rotation when they are all healthy.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Right. Eno and Keith for sure......I really like reading their work. But, even then, I never felt compelled to read. That has more to do with my decreasing interest in sports, though.

    Moon Knight thoughts (SPOILERS): It started great, and I mostly tolerated episodes 4 and 5 (there were some really good things, but they largely didn't make me think "great"). But, we did not like the end. This is NOT to say it is bad, we just didn't love the choices. The post credit scene was too integral to the story not to be in the show. Marc and Stephen are not different people. We would have preferred they integrate their personality into one or something, but going back to save a different personality was not a choice we liked at all. Why were there two hearts, if there are AT LEAST three personalities? Layla (sp?) just disappeared at the end, like, zero closure (she was the best part of the show all the way). Ammit showed Harrow what it was, and there was no crises of faith. Sigh. So much potential there.

    I bet they shutter / sell this year. At the outside, next year. Too bad, they have great talents (but, I no longer sub....I just didn't read the stuff most days).
  5. Mike Sixel
    Can't hit into a double plays if you strike out.... Also, alas, this is the Bundy I expected.
  6. Mike Sixel
    And yet, a new accountant learns from their peers all the time........
  7. Mike Sixel
    Unless Arraez and Miranda and Urshela all forget how to hit....they aren't trading for a 1B. Even then, I doubt they are. This team might deal for a C (if Sanchez struggles, which seems unlikely, or one of the two are hurt hurt) or some RP. The might trade for an elite SP at the deadline, depending on what happens along the way. But they aren't trading for a 1B unless things go very, very, very wrong. Heck, they'd be more likely to put Larnach at first if all the above go wrong, and put someone else in LF, imo.

    Around 90, which is a few more than I thought. Even if they are .500 (which is what I thought before) the rest of the way, they've already banked 4 extras wins....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Players think it matters. We see them posting comments (for example, Fangraphs interviews) all the time talking about what they've learned from veterans. (which is different than leadership and culture).
  10. Mike Sixel
    Jeffers is 5th in fWAR, btw......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not even the tiniest but worried. They have plenty of good options, none of which are Terry. Moving Lewis there has to be one of the worst ideas ever. He's ridiculously fast, you don't put him at first.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's awful that someone has to have surgery.... Hope he heals well.
  13. Mike Sixel
    We really need this to happen before the election, and for the GOP to ban same sex marriage also.... Because fear is the only time a sitting party has won. I also predicted January 6.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd like to see him be a 80-100 inning RP, that is used in the 6-9th, in high leverage situations......agreed. They have "enough starters".....and will always (imo) want a veteran or two around for mentoring. No way I move him back to starter at this point. He has a chance to be an elite RP, keep him there. Yes, I know. Injuries will happen. Yes, I know, a guy that pitches 150 innings is more valuable (I don't agree, but I'll concede it for fun).....but this guy has a chance to be elite. Remember when the Yankees didn't lose a game when they had a lead after the 6th? That's what this guy can help do for the Twins....Imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Next? A pitcher for the bullpen. I got no idea what will happen with Lewis and Martin.... I'd probably move Larnach to first or DH, and put Lewis in left, and have him give CC a break occasionally.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I was told by a group of people, mostly here, that I was an emotional idiot for thinking this would happen......
  17. Mike Sixel
    I would love a lot less LBers on the field in on 3rd down.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I think he needs to show he's healthy for a few weeks.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Sure. They wouldn't have Booth then. The Vikings need some young defensive players.....imo.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm ok with getting nothing back, if Miranda hits and they roll the dice with him.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but if the Vikes don't deal with GB, someone else does. ....I'd rather the Vikes get the good end of that deal, than someone else.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I like the Vikings' side of that a lot more than the other two sides. Otomewo is the only 1 I don't think makes the team with certainty. The others all do, and the first two are starters out of the box. I think you are looking at 4 starters, possibly 5, next year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The more I read about this class (and I get it is all hype, but most years I don't buy it).....the more I like this class (criminal history ignored).
  24. Mike Sixel
    It is hard to believe he only has 1 XBH at this point.....his D has been very good, but his O is not stellar so far. I don't know if I'd cut bait on him already though.....but IF they could turn him into an elite RP (who the heck has one that would trade for a 3B?), I'd do that...and there just aren't many trades at this point.
  25. Mike Sixel
    These awards aren't about prospect rankings, but who did the best....so I'm not sure it matters how old anyone is compared to their competition, right? Anyway, any of those are great picks. It is nice to have too many options for a change. BTW, yes, I agree, SWR is the man.
