    Harrison Phillips traded......a 6th next year, and teh Vikes send a 7th in 27 and get a 6th. Not sure I get this, but they must love the young guys.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think it is the hand injury that is causing this looking?
  3. Mike Sixel
    There was recently an article on Fangraphs that it is better to swing hard and miss (because when you hit you do more damage), than to not strikeout more than they used to. Math. It's pretty clearly the better strategy for a guy with power.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Probably not? I don't really keep links like that. And, sure, I could be recalling this wrong, but I don't think so. Have a great day!

    If he plays a lot, Vikings will get a pick after round four, I believe.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yes. I think the sell off of the market might be here. But then, I've been wrong before....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm just going off what Law and the guy from fangraphs say. They know more than me.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I mean, I have no issue taking a first baseman in round 17....... That's a flier round. Good luck to all of them!
  9. Mike Sixel
    I hope you are right they move quickly next year.....but that has not been their MO.

    I said to tune out of TALK, not ACTION if you want,. I don't know how to make that more clear. And I said to do it only if listening to talk makes you unhappy. I'm boggled that this isn't clear. Judging an action with the information we have at the time is the best way to judge an action. Because no one makes an action in hindsight, they make it with the information they have (to be clear, we don't have all the info they have, so they should be right a lot more often than us). Also, just because something works, does not make it the right decision. The perfect example is drunk driving. Just because you make it home doesn't make it right. In any event, have fun everyone. That was my point. If you aren't having fun, why are you doing what your are doing for entertainment (not survival, not relationships with people, etc.)?

    What's the point of discussing trades years later, other than hindsight 50th guessing? I mean, this is a site to talk about stuff, and that was a lot of stuff to just ignore.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing DeAndrade moves to third mostly at this point. Frankly, I want Winokur at third or the OF, as if he plays SS, something went very badly for Houston and Lee and Culpepper. Stop putting guys at SS because "it is easy to move later." I've always been higher on DeAndrade than most.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Low A is likely less difficult than major college baseball, so it's good to see him succeed so far. Looking forward to seeing him the coming years....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd love to see him up here.....is he a better 2B than Keaschell? Put Keaschell at first? (I don't really care about CLemens one way or the other). Or can Eeles really play LF?
  15. Mike Sixel
    I didn't like the Lewis pick when it was made. I've been convinced a few times I was wrong, but mostly not .....I hope, still, to be wrong. I have no idea if Lee can be good or not, but I think it is too early to know for sure. I like Culpepper's odds, but you neve really know......At least they have a line of guys that might be good in the minors, that's a start.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I think there is zero chance Gasper sticks, though, and I'd have someone else up....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Put him at third! Lewis won't be here forever.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I don't think Larnach can increase his value. He is who he is.
  19. Mike Sixel
    People here begged them to deal Kepler. Other people said extend him. I don't think it's hindsight for many.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I can see that, but I think outman is getting his chance.
  21. Mike Sixel
    At what position?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'll try to be more clear. If you are doing something that makes you unhappy, it's healthy to stop. People here say it makes them angry to listen to the FO and manager. I'm suggesting not listening to the inane babbling. It's healthier. Nothing about that states not to care about what they do.... Or to know what they do.... Or not to care about the team.... It's merely about listening to corporate speak, when that make you unhappy, maybe don't do that. I don't know how to be more clear. If you want to listen, great! Go for it. I'm merely suggesting if listening to their lies makes you unhappy, stop listening to the pressers.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Nope. He's on the IL. Outman up.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Those first 8 might all be starting next year.... Which would not be exciting..
  25. Mike Sixel
    They just traded for him. This take is weird. To be clear, I hated this trade. But he's on the roster and was great two years ago.
