    Other than playing a MLB game with a 2 man bench, sure......what could go wrong?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Nah, Mastro isn't on the 40 man, is he?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I love your user name, btw. Seriously.
  4. Mike Sixel
    So, um, about that last shoe to drop.......Murphy asked for his release yesterday? Has to be Mastro, coming up, right?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Wow. You think he wasn't confident? This has to be why the last shoe has not fallen. What will they do with the bench now? Mastro?
  6. Mike Sixel
    btw, I'm out of likes....so consider this a preemptive "like" of all your awesome posts to come. I have great confidence in all of you. Or something like that.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    we are quibbling over 49 or 53%?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I would prefer Kepler stay up, and play CF for a month, to see what he has. But, maybe they are now gunshy, and don't want to "rush" him.......who knows, it is pretty hard to figure out the plan.
  9. Mike Sixel
    all Prince music tonight, so ti can't happen tonight....
  10. Mike Sixel
    From where we sit, it appears there is no plan. Just a bunch of hope.
  11. Mike Sixel
    So, about that bench........maybe Ryan doesn't feel they need a bench, since Molly doesn't PH for the catcher ever?
  12. Mike Sixel
    By the time they call up the young RPs, they will be out of the race. They aimed low on catcher, and the bullpen, and they are getting what they deserved. If you are going to argue they weren't ever competitive this year anyway, why sign a 29 / 30 year old DH, and not start with some youth in the bullpen?
  13. Mike Sixel
    That doesn't make losing him a good idea, in and of itself. The mistakes pile up over time, that's the problem here, imo. Too many mistakes piling up.
  14. Mike Sixel
    or than about 1/3 of the current "hitters".....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Can't tell if serious........
  16. Mike Sixel
    the young guys aren't likely to step up when the SP are mostly long time veterans, as is all but one of the infielders. Until they turn over the roster, this is the leadership you have. the leaders they loved so much, they went out and signed a guy to be a leader last year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And, they refuse to call up any pitchers, so, um, why do they care if they lose the marginal ones?
  18. Mike Sixel
    So, they are willing to lose what tiny little catching depth they have, so they can call up a 34 yo corner "OF"......who else are they going to lose as a result of this? Ugh. Just. Ugh. It's just terrible roster management, imo.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Are they really going to call him up, and maybe lose a young player? Or are they going to finally go with youth?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Weird, the Sox 2015 pick is in AA......is that allowed?
  21. Mike Sixel
    This is exactly what some of us feared, btw. The starters wouldn't be bad, but they wouldn't be good. And, the higher upside guys would use more pitches in the minors, and nothing here would really change. So far, that's what we've seen, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, I'm not sure you should worry about years of control with pitchers.....but putting that aside...... If Milone doesn't get better, move him to the bullpen. While you are at it, DFA Fien, and send down the least effective guy still there. Call up Berrios and Duffey. Put Duffey in the bullpen. At some point, having uber talented guys up here is more important than having mediocre guys here, but depth in the minors. I'd argue we are at that point now, but I can see why Ryan and team want to wait another week or two.

    In the other thread on this topic, there is a quote from Gardy saying he thought Danny was going to be great. It is in the other thread, if you want to see it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Kind of hard to continue the discussion here.
  25. Mike Sixel
    As a Scout, he thought Danny Santana was going to be great. Scouting is part of his job now......
