    Yes, a thread with all the promotions would be great. Nick Gordon moving up?
  2. Mike Sixel
    ha, my bad! thanks......so, I'm not surprised he's in AA then.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Golly I love this post so much, it is rich with so much goodness.

    the Sox are very quick to promote pitchers, and given their success with pitchers, it is hard to question their process. I am surprised he didn't spend 2 weeks in A ball, but I am not surprised they are trying to get him to Chicago this year.

    We might really like Thorpe's potential.....but they are loaded with pitching potential, he's been hurt A LOT, and he's never pitched above A ball.......I think if there is a crunch at all, he has to be left off. Palka, Jorge, Romero are, imo, locks. Very likely: Granite (he would be lost, imo), 1 of the 2 catchers (probably Garver), Veilma Also likely: the other catcher, Wheeler (not for me, but for this FO)
  6. Mike Sixel
    Great to see all these promotions! If Palka becomes a legit MLB player, it will be one of the all time great trades.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Would love to see them move the RPs faster......these guys tend to burn out. Great list, now they just have promote them and trust them.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not much excitement here, clearly......since we aren't getting updates on names and contracts.

    It has been an amazingly bad series of outcomes. No one predicted this. It's kind of hard to believe how badly most of it has gone. It's not just the number of things that have gone badly......it is (for me) that they've gone so far bad. We could expect Sano to regress, but not like he was. Or, we could expect Jepsen to be less than he was last year, but not that much less. Mind. Boggled.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Good point......admittedly, when I typed that, I was in the middle of a bad call at work.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Another nice list! And once Stewart and Gonsalves adjust....they'll be back on the list someplace.
  12. Mike Sixel
    then why did you read it? I read it as a "fun" exercise", not a real projection.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This was........not happy inducing.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    The guy can deal, they sure have an exciting assortment of SP in A+/AA.
  15. Mike Sixel
    and, you won't attract the super casual fan w/o a great team anyway, so planning around them is probably not a great idea if you value consistency in your revenue stream. The prices? Not great....not great at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    4/25......plus Vargas sort of....and I think Arcia was......so, about 20% which isn't awfully far off (and I'm only counting the ones that they were the original MLB team for....they have others they have acquired otherwise, ---- Abad, Ervin Santana, Nunez, so they are on/above the league average). Given the numbers, perhaps more managerial staff that weren't white Americans would be a good idea......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fair, and I did put an asterisk in my comment and say "if he's saying that", which I doubted he was........It is clearly a combination of many, many things, as the owner so accurately put it a few weeks ago.
  18. Mike Sixel
    While we don't agree, I respect your stand on this issue.
  19. Mike Sixel
    There are many unintended consequences of a draft......it appears, no idea if true but people state it, that Puerto Rico has seen a big fall off in baseball talent/development since they were put in the draft, for example. there's also the whole how do you justify taking a 16 year old and making him a full time baseball player on $4* an hour...... *make no mistake, if they won't pay minor leaguers real money, they certainly won't pay it to 16 year olds in other countries who won't be here for 2 years plus.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That too.....but once they did Jepsen, I would have preferred another move of some kind. It all comes back to the previous off season, and not fixing the bullpen then......
  21. Mike Sixel
    ah, then we are in agreement, and we are talking past each other. Got it. Probably on my end, I'm more working today than normal....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I didn't like that Jepsen was the only real move (imo), that was always my issue. Jepsen, for all his faults, was very helpful for this team last year, and that was great!
  23. Mike Sixel
    I didn't compare them to other teams at all.....I clearly stated which MLB players they have to show for their international signings. I don't know if it is better or worse, and I never made any statement in this thread about that at all.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I knew that, but I think he was a FA, i was trying to give them credit ......
  25. Mike Sixel
    The agreement doesn't say you can't do it......it clearly states you can do it, but then you can't sign more players for 2 years. That was the agreement. There is nothing unethical about doing what the agreement allows, is there? "You can go over, but if you do, then you can't sign expensive players for 2 years" .........that is very different than, "you can't go over, if you do, you are breaking the rules". Either way, they have almost nothing to show for their international work other than Sano, Polanco, and Kepler (all signed the one year they spent big) and Vargas and Danny Santana.
