    Not sure where anyone here said that about Buxton. Ignoring that Max grew up in Germany and didn't play against good competition until he came here seems odd to me. Imo, it is too early to platoon him full time
  2. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is 23 with minimal experience. The harm is slowing his growth. No way he should be platooned at this point.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Chatwood is going to get paid, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the updates!

    Nicely played.... As for me, I more choose to use my emotion on things I actually care about.... Sports has become more about analysis and examination for me, and less about attachment, especially individuals.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I have no interest in either. I hope the Twins agree
  7. Mike Sixel
    Speechless
  8. Mike Sixel
    Has any team signed three big extensions in one year?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Awful list
  10. Mike Sixel
    How well has not signing good pitchers worked out the last seven years or so? It's not like relying on AAA or cheap pitchers has worked.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Has any team, in history, signed that many large extensions in one year? Not getting a decent starter.... Good luck.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Thorpe is a lock to me.
  13. Mike Sixel
    We should ignore the first half of the year? Those results aren't indicative of anything? Not sure I buy that.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If I was there FO, I would not plan on anything from him. And what I got would be gravy. I would also be grooming him to be the two inning guy that pitches 60 plus games, starting the new trend of relievers being used that way.
  15. Mike Sixel
    certainly.....I just found the two statements in the post to be an interesting juxtaposition, given that not every pitcher is primarily about FBs....even in the era of the fastball.
  16. Mike Sixel
    talk you down from being happy? Never.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't think that's the exact reading if you read the full quote, and what the FO is saying about first pitches....it's clear some of those players command the curve ball first and foremost, because that's their best pitch. Much like we saw Duffey do his first year, then abandon, then come back to.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Always buy the stock I sell the next day.....sigh. Sold off some AMZN to make escrow payment on a new house....only cost me 10% so far (though I still own quite a bit in my retirement accounts)
  19. Mike Sixel
    sounded like one philosophy to me....Rich Hill and much of the Houston staff would disagree it's all about the fastball....just seemed like an odd juxtaposition to have those two lines above.... we literally have no idea who or how he'll coach.....let's just hope it works.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Chacin seems like a great candidate to move to the bullpen, pick up 1-2 MPH, shelve the two pitches that don't work, and be good as a RP to me....but I have zero interest in him as a SP. Lynn and Cobb and Chatwood (one of them) would be fine, but not exciting, to me.
  21. Mike Sixel
    the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets, if they are good.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Yes, this worked out very well so far...... Also, Celgene was just BLOWN UP for missing on a drug.......but I don't think 35% of it's value was in that one drug. If you like to bet money, I think this is a decent short term bet. Had I moved faster this afternoon, I would have made 4-5% today alone......That said, this is NOT advice, let alone good advice.....it's just what I'm likely to do tomorrow with a few K.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ya, if people are going to rip the Mauer thing, they should also rip the Dozier thing.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    And yet, people will post how so and so won X award, as if it proves something.....like manager of the year, or gold glove.....No one even knows how to measure managers, yet people site that all the time....at least with GG we have decent measures (that show Mauer should be a finalist).
  25. Mike Sixel
    mostly luck and CF defense and regression from several players, not 1 player.... People really vastly underestimate luck or randomness in sports
