    Sigh. this is the downside of risky investments......
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think the big hurdle is that most of the deals for the best players are already done, and you can't trade international money before July 2 (to keep bonus pools small, so they don't pay much to 1 player). Me? I'd trade every player that I didn't like for international money, and sign 20 - 30 guys, and as many top guys as I could.
  3. Mike Sixel
    well, I think we have a very different view of the world, then. Since, you know, he'll have 1 opportunity in his entire life to go to this ceremony, vs YEARS of working on the job. I can't even imagine anyone in the org is disappointed he's going, frankly.

    People keep typing that: a: who is trading away top end pitching under control for more than half a year b: they couldn't manage to make one trade this off season despite having the worst SP in baseball and plenty of MIF depth.
  5. Mike Sixel
    International signings pepper the top prospects lists for every team, and across MLB. Getting this part right is more important than some seem to believe (right, or lucky, if you assume you can't scout a 16 yo, which I disagree with).

    Leadership
  7. Mike Sixel
    congrats, good luck with everything. I know it's a relief to you to be mortgage free almost. It was a bad day yesterday, but a very good day today for the stocks we both like....
  8. Mike Sixel
    failing the marshmallow test for sure.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    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.
  10. Mike Sixel
    "sore ribs" wow. I do like they are using the DL this way, but wow.
  11. Mike Sixel
    that shocked me also. 2nd year of pitching, and a "2nd round pick". Unreal.
  12. Mike Sixel
    sorry, missed they put him on the DL with a phantom injury. Can't wait until he comes back.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    so it isn't about leadership, then, apparently.
  14. Mike Sixel
    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.
  17. Mike Sixel
    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?
  18. 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.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I have previously posted studies on the topic. And someone else posted their research showing there is no evidence either way.
  20. 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?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Is Trea Turner too fast for the infield? I get the concept....
  22. 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.
  23. 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....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I would really, really, like to see him in relief.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I will also take the under. Terrible decision.
