    Very pleased that Kohl is starting out well. Good luck to him and all the others.

    Fair enough, Seth. It's hard to shake a perception with new data......If Gordon is great, I'd like him promoted this year. I think he'll be great, and therefore, I'd like him promoted this year. That's all that first post meant.
  3. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, they turned Fuld into Milone. That's a pretty good deal.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Well, I thought we were talking about the current lead scout, but sure, I'll give them 1.
  5. Mike Sixel
    ah, right. My bad. Good point. Not how I'd do it, but no surprise I don't agree with their promotion policies.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Here is a list of RP they've drafted that have become RP in the majors so far:
  7. Mike Sixel
    I do NOT endorse this move. They are not short of corner OF. They are supposedly rebuilding. He's 34. I see no upside here.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think there is blame to go around.....more on Sano than anyone else. But some on the coaches, and some on the FO and manager.
  9. Mike Sixel
    13...AJ Puk 14...Nolan Jones 15.....Anfernee Grier 16...Forrest Whitley

    Just skimmed KLAWs top 50. Ouch. Good luck following this crew, Jeremy.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Gordon will be promoted at the ASB, imo.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I was talking about Arrieta and Bryant falling to them.......I think their luck may have turned. By coincidence, it happened when they got new leadership.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I might, you want to be on that? I'm willing to bet the cubs are in the playoffs (barring several injuries) 5 times in the next 7 years.
  14. Mike Sixel
    As you know, I agree with that part....but the Twins kept their two real assets, Dozier and Perkins. I can sort of understand the Dozier decision. And, yes, the Cubs have gotten lucky some, I agree with that. But, somehow, if a team is lucky over and over and over.....maybe it isn't luck. Maybe the team has mad skillz.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I would bet they both cost themselves money.....but I haven't looked.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm not ignoring anything......he has taken advantage of his assets, and succeeded in Boston, and now probably in Chicago. But, yes, we are off topic.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I haven't looked at KLAW's top 50 yet, but he did say there was no way he could come up with 100 players he really liked in this draft. I don't recall him EVER saying that before.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So no one on the Twins realized he couldn't hit those pitches, and worked on it in spring training? People really think the change of positions has zero influence on his struggles?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, turning a team into one of the best teams in the league, by copying what he did in Boston.....he deserves no credit for that. Seriously?
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'd copy what the Cubs are doing, and load up on productive college bats.......but then, I'd copy what they've been doing for the last three years.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    so, um, not a LOOGY? do they literally not trust young pitchers at all? I am, once again, not in agreement with the organization's handling of the bullpen. No real shock, frankly.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Most "closers" are actually the same in terms of outcomes. There are few great ones, or awful ones.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I do agree, and have been preaching for a few years now.....but that time is past. but, add it to the long list of moves I didn't like from my favorite team.
  24. Mike Sixel
    this, they were treated awfully......and could have responded better. While I can be "harsh" about a players' ability, I don't attack their personality*, work ethic, or injury stuff, or other non-performance things. They are people. *unless they bring it on themselves, by doing things that put them/others at risk.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no. someone else wrote that, but I recall the "controversy". It may have been a blog, as referenced above. I only follow KLAW, Calcaterra, Sullivan, Morrus, beergraphs, D&D, and Mearls on Twitter.
