    What would BYTO say about Buxton right now (that you can type here).....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I hate to type this, but plenty of people said he had a hole in his swing, and that he was over rated. Several people said that no one had ever started this badly, and become a star (in chats on line). I thought last year something changed, but as far as anyone can tell, he just can't hit a MLB pitch right now. I have no idea what they should do with him.
  3. Mike Sixel
    is there another flavor?
  4. Mike Sixel
    bummer. Was really hoping for health in the minors this year. Sigh.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Scoops are over rated, from what I read, most 1B are about the same. FWIW, Joe scores pretty well on the various metrics. IMO, if anything, he's under rated defensively.

    I read all his stuff. A. You accused him of trying to sell stories, by not being honest. I don't believe that. B; I think reading 1-2 paragraphs doesn't give you the full glimpse into his thought process. I also think concluding that he doesn't like his stuff ignores his talk about velocity, age, raw ability, and athleticism completely. You chose the parts of his writing that backed your conclusion. You also are drawing a conclusion based on those sentences, as if those are all the thoughts he has on the 17 yo that throws upper 90s. Edited by glunn

    Or bad whiskey, frankly.

    Gimenez and DanSan. I feel bad for the team already.
  9. Mike Sixel
    You are stating he is not stating his honest opinion, but is trying to sell stories? Wow. That's. Wow. Pathetic claim to make with no evidence at all, frankly.

    You left off the part where KLAW would take him 1:1....
  11. Mike Sixel
    KLAW did say that Greene would be a top ten pick as a SS also....but no one is drafting him as a SS first.

    welcome to the site! Nice post.
  13. Mike Sixel
    He's only 17. A lot of HS seniors will turn 19 this calendar year, if they aren't already. Is he physically better than other around him? Of course, that's why he might go 1:1. Is he more physically mature? Probably not significantly, compared to where he will be in 3-4 years.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Oh, that. Right, I forgot about that. Not worried in the least. Take the best player, offer him the money, and go from there.
  15. Mike Sixel
    How is it being a "dick" to get your client the best deal possible? No way I pass on the best player over a few hundred K. No way. They should take the best player on their board.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think I'm on Green also. Just too much upside to pass on. If they think McKay is a two, and could hit like Mark Grace, I'd not kill them for that. If they think he's a three, I won't be happy. Not that we'll ever know.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fair on Sano. But Grossman and Santana played a lot when Rosario and Kepler weren't here, or when they were trying Sano (an experiment I somehow forgot). But, if I'm not mistaken, this was pretty much the OF once Buxton was promoted, and that was always the plan. I just don't see some great sea change here that you do.
  18. Mike Sixel
    What are you expecting? Do you think people should change what they thought the Twins were after 6 games?
  19. Mike Sixel
    To me, Kepler should be playing nearly every day. He's way too young to be in a platoon on a mediocre team.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm, I'm not really sure what has changed about "committing" to OF defense. This is almost the same lineup they tried last year, the difference is Buxton is up. I think the meme is off here some, but whatever. As long as Buxton is in the majors, I don't think this is about "committing to defense", so much as playing the OF they expect to have, offense, defense, whatever. This was always the plan. It's been a great first week. I've always backed ESan's ability to pitch, and he's been very nice so far. Sano can hit, I don't doubt that either. Polanco can hit, I don't doubt that. Castro is a guy I was hoping they'd trade for 2-3 years ago, definitely liked that signing. Very nice start. It's more fun to win for sure.

    Hard to tell if that's sincerity or sarcasm I see dripping off that post....
  22. Mike Sixel
    that would have been more believable had you typed dadgumit, btw.
  23. Mike Sixel
    you're going to kill me, sir...... at least you know who postmodern jukebox is...
  24. Mike Sixel
    sigh.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Nicely played, but you really should have left off the second line for effect.....
