    It does seem odd that Polanco only played 2B all year....when they have Dozier...and he's out of options...and he seems like a legit hitting prospect that you'd want to keep around.... I would have had him in LF and CF and 3B and 2B. From here, it is hard to see the plan for how Polanco and Dozier co-exist.

    Wining is the only thing that will fix attendance at this point.
  3. Mike Sixel
    And, you go to more games than you otherwise would because of that? you buy more tickets? how many tickets do you think the Twins sell because mauer is on the team, at this point?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ya, taking advice from a movie character..... You realize that high strikes are the strikeout pitch, right?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Don't you need a closer look at guys on the border, than guys that are future stars? You "know" the stars will be here, but it's the edge cases where you need more data.... Do people think Mauer is adding butts to seats anymore?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Bah, that's nothing, try standing on the tee box with 100 swing thoughts.... It would be interesting to know what/how they are advising him, and if things have really changed from last year or not....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Kind of a rude response. They wanted a different guy. We are here to bs about the team... What is the issue?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I understand your statement, but it's still a choice all those markets are making. I'm asking.....has signing a bunch of mediocre / bad / ok pitchers worked for this team? Maybe it's not the process, maybe it is who they decide to sign that is the issue....maybe the next GM will pick among the mediocre better than Ryan did the last 5 years.
  9. Mike Sixel
    look at that list compared to what the Twins have traded for...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Easy decisions: O'Rourke Dean Albers Boshers Slightly harder to cut: Santiago (I mean, sure, try to trade him first....) Centeno (bad defense) Harder to cut/trade, but I'd still do it: Grossman (he makes Delmon look graceful) Danny Santana (he does everything, mostly very badly)
  11. Mike Sixel
    Injured and not good enough to be here, apparently.
  12. Mike Sixel
    He and Boshers..... Great pick ups.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Worse sight today....that half inning, or the emperor has no clothes statues?
  14. Mike Sixel
    See...gameday just caught up.... Now I understand....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Every time you type that here, an angel dies.

    Who do we get to compare the twins to? Clearly not the Yankees, Boston, Toronto, or Tampa , that would be unfair to Tampa. Clearly not Texas. Detroit? Nope. Probably not the As, they are like Tampa. Given the tv deal difference, probably not Seattle. So.... Like three teams?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think luck is a divine spell...
  18. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I was really talking the rest of the year, not tonight.....

    the Cubs traded for Arrieta, successfully identifying an undervalued asset, and we don't know they'll re-sign him or not. The Twins traded for May, Meyer, Milone and Worley...and signed Hughes, Santana, and Nolasco (and Pelfrey and Correia). This isn't about an unfair advantage....this is about doing a bad job of identifying and acquiring the correct players, imo. Apparently, the owner agrees. I get it, according to some, the Twins have never had any money to ever sign a big time FA since McPhail left, and the Twins are at a huge disadvantage and shouldn't be expected to be good.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Just rotate those three around.....and put Polanco at SS with Esco as your utility? That's what I'd do the rest of the year, with Polanco getting half of Plouffe's 3B starts, or maybe all of them....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Correct.
  22. Mike Sixel
    so, he has to play 3B, to show he can play 3B? How many games would you want to see him play, before deciding if he should keep playing?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, you have to add the wheat. You don't start with the world connected to you...
  24. Mike Sixel
    You just made my eyes bleed....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've never once seen one FB post like those you mention, like I said, there is wheat to be found.... I highly recommend Humans of New York (which, you can get on a web site). Their recent work with PTSD and refugees is amazing stuff. Their older stuff where it is just stories is great also.
