    Not cutting bait on bad investments, because you have committed money to them in the future is exactly what badly run businesses do every day. It is a drop in the bucket to bring up a better, younger, player. But, as you point out, most businesses would make the wrong decision.

    I remember when people said anyone questioning Buxton's hit tool was overly negative...... that would be an entirely depressing set of decisions, imo. Nolasco should be a starter, with 3 starts or so to show if he's got it or not. Duffey should be in the bullpen, with his 2 pitch selection, or to be the long man. That OF is depressing, but I agree if Buxton is down, it is Arcia, Rosario, Sano, until Arcia shows he can't hit, then Santana moves into CF.

    Huh, rare time I'm more optimistic than Seth! I'll take nicks' numbers, please.
  4. Mike Sixel
    He also needs to learn how to steal bases, which he was mediocre/bad at last year in the majors. I hope he figures it out, loads of natural talent there.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Right on? Sigh. Over, I'll go over, but I think TX makes a trade or two, and passes them.
  6. Mike Sixel
    ah, I read your post wrong.......I thought you were saying you hadn't seen any evidence that anyone saw it as a steal, my bad. I don't pretend to know about "most", since I only read a few sites now, and not tons of them.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Really? Dave Cameron views it that way for one.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Just because something is inevitable doesn't mean people can't be unhappy about it. Now, I'd argue taking sports too seriously, and truly being unhappy, is bad for you, but I don't think we are all there.
  9. Mike Sixel
    so, they should just give up after 25 starts, and not help someone build for the future? I'm not sure I understand your argument.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I do agree that having a guy in the bullpen that knows he has 2 good pitches, and will use those to get strikes, is a good plan. Like Duffey maybe.
  11. Mike Sixel
    thanks for the info.
  12. Mike Sixel
    That is an incredibly stupid rule, that serves no purpose.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Over, I don't like much of the rest of the division at all.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Ryan's point was it wasn't that bad a bullpen, because of a bunch things that were negative, w/o acknowledging that some things actually were better.....I think that is the point some people are making, right? That seems pretty obvious to me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Unless those other guys are "good" whereas May could be great.......not saying that is the case, but I think that was the point.
  16. Mike Sixel
    The Twins had DH open....but they signed someone to do that. I'm not bashing it, I don't get why he didn't play any OF in the minors, if this was an idea. I am questioning it (just as I question the Cubs' action).
  17. Mike Sixel
    You had me up until the last sentence......TR knows a lot more than I do for sure, and I think I have a hint or two.
  18. Mike Sixel
    that's a risk I'd take right now. If it is bad for a month, I'd send him down. I'm more of a "call them up too soon" guy, than a "wait until you've already lost a year of peak production" guy.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It does seem odd, to me, that Duffey is the likely next starter up, and May is in the bullpen. I truly don't understand it.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't think "uneven" means what you think it means. He was bad, right?
  21. Mike Sixel
    They are worried about Santana's positional experience, but putting Sano in RF? that seems a bit inconsistent to me.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I am not sure what that has to do with Nolasco's performance, but yes, I think so.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Against a AAA lineup, right?
  24. Mike Sixel
    i'd rather have a better RHP, than a guy just because he's a lefty. I don't think the Mets are worried that too many of their starters are righties......
  25. Mike Sixel
    He thinks Hicks will play pretty much full time, since most of the Yankee OF are old, often injured (thanks for making me look bad, Ellsbury), etc.
