    I hope these guys move up sooner, rather than later.
  2. Mike Sixel
    While some hate the threads, some hate being told how to feel..... Buxton is not a product of marketing.....he was always considered a top pick. I think he could use some coaching, frankly.
  3. Mike Sixel
    The nerves displayed by Meyer and Berrios are why you call guys up before you need them. Especially I a lost season. Meyer should have been up two years ago.
  4. Mike Sixel
    There is almost nothing I like about this manager and how he handles players
  5. Mike Sixel
    Shouldn't Duffey be available out of the pen? Or is he just sitting next to Murphy doing nothing?
  6. Mike Sixel
    hard to understand how they have depth issues, given the hundreds of pitchers on the 40 man, and the ones just behind them that are not......* *yes, I know that's an exaggeration.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand the FEAR of using a young player in a key situation. But, I agree, they won't. Very well written, btw.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Unfortunately, I agree with this.
  9. Mike Sixel
    As Brock reminded me yesterday, we are best off not trying to figure out the plan......
  10. Mike Sixel
    And that, imo, is why he should have been up for a game or two last year. Get those nerves out of the way.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    We clearly aren't going to agree......I understand why people would pass up money to spend time with family. I totally get it.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I admit it, I am more excited about this than I was Buxton, but about the same as Sano.......super excited!
  13. Mike Sixel
    No, I phrase it like they are people, who sometimes just want to spend time with their families instead of beating the crap out of their bodies for entertainment purposes.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Right, but Tampa tried him at starter first.......
  15. Mike Sixel
    All fair points.....my point is, if he's utterly dominating a level, he should move up. Pitchers get hurt. A lot. The entire league is moving pitchers up faster and faster because: young guys throw harder pitchers get hurt the more pitches they throw
  16. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I think the arguments around mine are better anyway.....the Royals tried guys as starters first, then converted them.......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Without the awesome defense, emphasis on on base percentage, and a manager willing to use young RPs......sure, just the same.
  18. Mike Sixel
    so, don't do what the White Sox do, with their highly successful starting pitchers.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone has forgotten last year. Some of us just want them to play for the huge upside with the young pitchers......just like they have mostly tried with the hitters. This pitching staff is not a WS pitching staff, imo. When you are 7 games under in April.......and your team has been pretty bad for some time......that's a good time to see what the young starters can do as starters, imo.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Heh, I'm not sure advice coming from ME is going to help.........
  22. Mike Sixel
    almost like there isn't a plan......
  23. Mike Sixel
    What does Rush mean? There are plenty of guys that go from low A to AA or even AAA in a year, when they absolutely dominate. How many starts like this would he need to go up?
  24. Mike Sixel
    It is unfortunate that these guys are hurt. They are out there trying to win for their teammates, and to provide us with entertainment. Getting hurt stinks. I will never question a professional athlete's pain tolerance compared to normal people, I've seen it in action. I too would prefer Meyer start for Milone. But, Molitor appears to be frozen in fear of using young pitchers (unlike young, bad, hitters). So, I'm not holding my breath.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, Meyer should get some starts. Play for upside, please, try it with the pitchers.
