    Probably not. There was no other better option when they signed him, so now what?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Got any evidence they aren't a good idea, other than anecdotal?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Kirk wasn't good enough last year either. Sigh.
  4. Mike Sixel
    So, find four good pitchers, plus Pineda, in the off season? Has any team ever done that?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Well, against Houston. I think they can beat anyone else in the AL. Not sure they will, but they match up with everyone else.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think this is a good point.
  7. Mike Sixel
    In sports? I'd say talent and skill. But a good attitude helps.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Remember, if they have one or two rookies starting as part of the plan, Pinedas placeholder for eight to ten starts will be the next guy. And when there is an injury, the next guy. How deep do people think the help in the minors is to start the year?
  9. Mike Sixel
    He's going to miss one forth of the year. Who pitches instead? Since you want Pineda to start, it would be someone you don't want to start....A backup. How deep into the farm is that player? Will he actually be ready after his suspension, or will he need a few weeks? All he had to do was work with team doctors. No way I sign him.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't think it matters either way. Neither will be here next year, or help much this year. Six of one.... As it were
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Just go with Stewart at this point. He's done as a Twin. Have they had Alcala keeping warm, as it were? Wish they had been this aggressive with the OF.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Any update on playing today?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Bullpens, in meaningful games that aren't blowouts, are as effective as ever.... That's what the stats show across the league. Reliever stats overall look bad because there are so many blowouts and teams not even trying to field good players.
  15. Mike Sixel
    26? Good golly, he's a top fifty prospect.... What upside do you see in LaMarre?
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's awful logic. I mean, people get in accidents when they aren't drunk, doesn't mean you don't not drive when drunk. Really, that's just terrible logic.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Don't hold your breath ...
  18. Mike Sixel
    Well, LaMarre is also there and playing. And, Kirilloff is a better hitter than Wade. And, Kirilloff hit better as he got healthier. Again, play it safe, or play for upside? In a playoff year? Upside.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Or you take a chance on upside. Or not, and just play guys you know are bad.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Because players rarely are as careful as they should be. We see guys with concussions try to go back into events....
  21. Mike Sixel
    won't that completely ruin his long term future?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd like a team to play for upside, and stop worrying only about downside. There is no upside in some of these players being here. This is a year where you have a chance to win it all, take that chance, rather than be afraid it might not work.
  23. Mike Sixel
    We do know LaMarre isn't good, but he's here. We don't know with those two. That's the point, always choosing the least risk.
  24. Mike Sixel
    They lost their best pitcher for nearly the whole season, he just came back. I mean, sure, if you for some reason only want to look at two weeks, the twins might be worse off, but that's just silly. Cron, Cave, and Adrianza can't hold a candle compared to the Yankees injured. Seriously.
  25. Mike Sixel
    All they cost was money, no precious prospects included....
