    I want to be clear, I'm joking mostly. If he's hurt, he should be on the DL. Players should protect themselves from long term injury.
  2. Mike Sixel
    "sore ribs" wow. I do like they are using the DL this way, but wow.
  3. Mike Sixel
    that shocked me also. 2nd year of pitching, and a "2nd round pick". Unreal.
  4. Mike Sixel
    sorry, missed they put him on the DL with a phantom injury. Can't wait until he comes back.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    so it isn't about leadership, then, apparently.

    the cubs can sign Jon Lester, you counting on the Twins doing that? Theo also has a history of making trades, this FO had 1 job this off season, and demand or not, could not trade Brian Dozier. so, I'll wait and see what they do before I trust them. And, their choices for the bullpen aren't inspiring me much.

    this might or might not be of interest: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/what-can-speed-do/

    If anyone thinks those who don't want them on the roster are only looking at 2 months of data, they are wrong.

    which young guys are the RP leading, since there aren't any young guys in the bullpen? What is the ratio of leaders in the bullpen to young guys? How bad would a player have to be for his leadership not to be worth it?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I was just being snarky, Bob. I get the concept, and agree that it would be nice to have that much speed in the OF over SS. I just want him to be good, because they passed on three legit SPs, imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I have previously posted studies on the topic. And someone else posted their research showing there is no evidence either way.
  12. Mike Sixel
    couldn't disagree more. It's time to move to the youth in the bullpen, and let them ride this year out. There is no value in Belisle or Breslow. People have now been typing for 2-3 months that Belisle/Breslow won't be long for the team if they don't perform..........maybe this FO just likes old players?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Is Trea Turner too fast for the infield? I get the concept....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Sacrificing only makes sense in the late innings, because a run or two matters when there aren't many ABs left. IMO, that was one situation (before the AB started) where it made decent sense to me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's why management is harder than people think....but at least in baseball, you can send a guy down and keep him in the organization....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I would really, really, like to see him in relief.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I will also take the under. Terrible decision.
  18. Mike Sixel
    which would be GREAT! you want the bases loaded more than you want them not.

    If you wait until someone is 100% ready (how would you ever know, btw?) to give them an assignment, you aren't running your business the right way. people need to be stretched and challenged to grow. There may be legit things these guys need to work on, but waiting for some mythical time when they are 100%/developed is not how the world works.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's not jerking him back and forth, it's what some teams do with young players to get them some time in the majors, w/o putting them in the rotation the first 2 months they are there. Especially if they are on an innings limit, as is likely in this case. It's a move for 2 months, to keep him pitching, and to get his feet wet.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If they are willing to move on from Hughes as a starter, then I can see adding a FA or a SP in a trade. Even w/o him....you have: Santana Berrios Santiago Mejia Gibson May Gonsalves Jorge Romero Assuming you let one of Gibson/Santiago go....you think they'd let them both go?......do you think they'll go get one?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I just want them to give the inexperienced players a chance to succeed and fail. They'll never be ready next year, if the rule is you can't put them in tough situations as rookies. I just don't buy it, that inexperience in and of itself is reason not to give them a shot. Talent might be....but that's not what I feel is always happening here.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, it's not easy to have that talent base available.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Chris Sale is good, great even. Boston probably should have been asked to give up even more for this. This is the kind of guy you make trades for, not mediocre players, imo.
