    I agree Jax is not likely a starter...... But if you don't think he's feeling pressure, I got no idea what to say. We're done, btw.
  2. Mike Sixel
    You haven't been in game threads much this year? Several posters only come to complain, angrily. These used to be about fun.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    It's a lost season. The goal is to see what Jax can do under pressure.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Berrios, Maeda, Pineda, Happ, Shoemaker, Dobnak, Ober were all in front of Jax and Barnes. If Winder is healthy, he is also. That makes those two around 8th or later on the depth chart to start the year. If the season goes as most expected, they likely deal for a starter at the deadline.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    What makes you think they didn't, don't?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Neither Rooker nor Arraez is a defender. At least one can hit, though.....I really want Martin or Celestino in left next year.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Sure, he's a stretch as a good pitcher, but he's a lock to make the rotation next spring, unless he's hurt. Or completely loses it.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think he's your starting LF next year, until he fails or Buxton is traded (if he is)......Though I'd put Martin in LF if Buxton is signed and they decide he's not a SS.......Larnach, you ask? LF or RF or DH or in AAA to start the year. However....sorry, that's what I'd do. I bet he's the 4th OF (assuming Buxton is in MN).
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't disagree.....see my other post of possible starters. But I'd rather Albers start and Gant come in in relief, than the other way around. Gant should pitch 1-2 innings. That's his best role, IMO.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ah. Got it. I predict Buxton, Kepler, and Larnach on the starting roster. Maybe Celestino. Maybe (a stretch for sure) Martin (who I think is the LF by June unless Buxton is gone, in which case he's the CF). That leaves room for one veteran back up if they want, of which lots will be available in the off season if they want one.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand this decision at all. They have Ryan and Strotman and Albers who can start. Gant is a RP, plain and simple. Why do bullpen games at this point? And, if you are, why isn't Moran up and playing in them? Heck, they have Barnes too to start. Ober, Jax, Barnes, Albers, Strotman. OR, better, Ober, Jax, Strotman, Ryan, Dobnak
  12. Mike Sixel
    What did this part mean? "Having a higher draft position helps in the first round but can be viewed as a slight drag in the rest of the draft. " Also, if you put an unnecessary comma in my post, you'll see that I was referring to you, and also to others...not that you both said it doesn't matter ....but that they did.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Three of those should never start another MLB game.....but ya, sigh. Probably. Also, Dobnak. Sigh.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If they are really worried about the 40 man, I agree, Strotman is next up. If they are really worried about next year, and willing to lose a RP that might turn out to be good, they'll bring up Ryan this year to get his feet wet. Ober, Jax, and NO ONE ELSE is the current list of SPs they are likely counting on next year (and Jax is a bit of a stretch, IMO). If Maeda is out next year, I don't see any realistic path to having a good pitching staff. It's just a hill to far to climb. So, I guess they can pass on Ryan and wait until next year....I mean, if next year is already a lost cause, may as well wait on him until June or so.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If they put him in LF, just spot the other team a few doubles, I guess? No more playing guys out of position, please.
  16. Mike Sixel
    How is getting HBP related to anything else?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Yup. Ryan and Strotman should be up this year.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Two players have been HBP more than Martin! Wow.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ugh. If he needs surgery, they literally have ZERO experienced SP signed for next year. Ugh. Also, I feel bad for him.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Gant should never start another game. He's a RP. They should use him as such.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I think Martin is the starting LF by June/July of next year. CF is Buxton is dealt.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Is there any evidence this is true? That it is more valuable than playing in the majors and getting your feet wet? I really doubt it. I have no idea how Moran isn't up already. Ryan should be up and starting, given the injuries, at this point. No need to call up Martin. No idea where Miranda plays.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Wut? The delta between number 5 and number 10 is massive. I have no idea how this data backs you up. Or anyone else saying draft position doesn't matter.
  24. Mike Sixel
    There is no younger OF to play right now.....it is either Cave or Refsnyder. I'm not sure what you want him to do differently.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I am betting Martin is your LF at some point next year, if Buxton is retained. Unless he can play SS, that is.
