    Agreed. Just read in the fangraphs chat how teams are really using this kind of data a lot to assess players. From a guy that was recently in a front office....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Great article. All of the disagreements appear to be of the fake news variety. Don't like the data, so the data must be wrong, with no counter evidence offered. Nice work, Tom.
  3. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to a guy with no options, virtually, and wasn't good in the minors, who is 27....

    I'd rather see Buesnitz than Kinley, for two reasons: 1. He was good in the majors, Kinley was barely good in the minors 2. Buesnitz has options....Kinley does not, effectively.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Never understood the kinley selection in the first place.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Why would Buxton sign that? No way,imo, he signs for that little.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Seems like a good move!

    By then you either won't be able to afford him, or he isn't worth keeping. I can't see a good argument for not doing the "cheap" extension, from the Twins' side, at all. Unless you are totally risk adverse, there does not seem to be a good reason not to sign him and buy out years.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of a one year deal. They aren't one player away. They needed pitching for the next several years. I do think you have the start of a good idea, though, that could be used for a four year deal.

    I read that as "all liver" and could not figure out what that meant!
  11. Mike Sixel
    thanks for compiling it all in one place! They are woefully under 52% right now....
  12. Mike Sixel
    fivethirtyeight has a podcast out there right now, discussing how real they are.....

    Superstar youngsters aren't signing these types of deals anymore, for good reason. If I was the Twins, I'd certainly want to do this deal, but if Buxton is even "meh" on offense, he'll get more than 30MM a year on the open market by the time he's a FA. If I'm him, I don't sign for two reasons: 1. I bet I can make a lot more in FA. 2. The Twins have shown no signs of spending money on FAs to win. Nor have they traded to add ML talent. I'm not sure they'll ever go all in, so why would I stay?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Garver more than deserves a shot. He raked in AAA.
  15. Mike Sixel
    How do you plan to get more than one, if you won't pay for one? It is certainly possible enough minor league played work, but unlikely. If people won't sign Yu, due to age, I assume they won't resign Esan either. And, I don't see anyone arguing they are only one player away. People are arguing that they should add talent while Dozier and ESan and Mauer are here and before the current core leaves.

    Just watched dodgeball and war for the planet of the apes in the plane. One was very funny, one had a bad ending

    He and his wife always seemed like they really cared about helping the community. I like that
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't believe signing free agents or making trades is acquiring a reject. I bet plenty of teams are happy they have players other teams "didn't want".
  19. Mike Sixel
    You think there are seven or eight starters in the system right now? We strongly disagree on that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't know. I saw on like six news sites the story of the ballplayer that donated the mansion recently. We see stories about koskie all the time. And morneau. I think we hear positive stories a lot. They aren't reported the same way, agreed.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Cool stuff, thanks!
  22. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Carole....I can care about talent and effort, but not the person. I root for laundry, not players.
  23. Mike Sixel
    More than 11 million people have streamed bright so far.... Or maybe it had been streamed that many times. Either way,a lot of people are watching
  24. Mike Sixel
    The Big Sick, on Neflix, is really quite good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Of course next year is easier if an internal candidate is good. I doubt anyone disagrees with that. That doesn't change if they sign a free agent or not. And, they likely need two or three more pitchers next year, not one or two. If Santana regresses and no one really steps up, they might need four.
