    Was busy. How has Hunter carried the team to victory tonight?
  2. Mike Sixel
    He clearly has a shot. If the O's somehow make the playoffs and Machado carries them, it could be him. Really, it depends on what the Jays, O's and Angels do as teams the rest of the way. Trout will still be hurt by old schoolers, Donaldson by Canada and all the hitters they've amassed....imo.

    Then bench him to playing around 40 games a year. I can't think of any off the top of my head, I know guys get injured, and 1 guy retired a couple years ago, but I'd bet it is rare. Doesn't make it right, btw......just, as you say, reality.

    Smart organizations figured out sunk costs in the 1980s, literally......if not sooner. Hunter and Mauer are sunk costs, that absolutely should be cut/benched (more so Mauer). It just is what it is. Winning brings fans, are you suggesting this market wouldn't love Buxton like they loved Kirby, Denard, Torii eventually?
  5. Mike Sixel
    As a bonus, he has the three name thing going, which Texans seem to love....

    This whole "he has to go to AAA to face harder pitching" thing cracks me up. when I push to have guys go to AAA, like Kepler or Buxton earlier, I am told that it doesn't matter, there isn't much difference in the pitching, or "you can jump right from AA to the majors"........now I am told that Buxton has to go to AAA because the pitching is better and you really should go to every level first.....I am confused since many of these people are the same people making two different arguments.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Twins fans should probably take a closer look at Hunter's performance.......I think saying "all Twins fans like Hunter" is probably not accurate at this point.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Vargas was never a great prospect, I don't think skipping AA was the big issue.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    The cubs just sent Starlin Castro to the minors, after signing a $60MM deal, to call up a rookie. Ryan should make personnel decisions based on people cheering for Hunter winning 1 game, really? You don't think Buxton excites fans?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'm going to try this one more time: Win Twins.
  11. Mike Sixel
    no more or less likely that the backstop could throw out a base stealer, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Seth's list......which as chief pointed out, is pretty sad. If this wasn't a year to contend, they should have a ton of short term contracts that could be dealt. I'd guess TR didn't agree this was a year not to contend, since he said they would this year.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Good point......I'd have to look at the schedule, but good point. OTOH, people are saying the Twins should call up x players for September.......so it is some teams.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Great line. Seriously large smile for this one........
  15. Mike Sixel
    Burdi's raw stuff is just too much for this level. Does anyone know if he's working on stuff, or just dominating?
  16. Mike Sixel
    1. Playing in AAA has no less wear on his injury than in the majors. Saying that somehow he is less likely to get hurt here, or you can swing softer or something.....bunk. 2. Hunter is 39 or 40. He's not good. Since May, he's been AWFUL. There is no reason to argue Hunter is better than Buxton, now, or next year. 3. If your argument is that Buxton won't contribute right away, and that he needs time to adjust.....and you want him to be good next year, he should be doing his adjusting this year, imo. 4. September games are a bad judge of progress...since 1/3 to 1/2 are against AAA players. 5. It is super easy to get Buxton in the game 80% of the time. This is also not a valid reason fro him not to be up. Seem to be a lot of people here think somehow it is stupid, or something, to think this is a bad idea. I'm happy to have that discussion, because I think it is obvious that he should be up now. Also, judging him on 11 games? Ugh.
  17. Mike Sixel
    if we were rational about this, they'd not make so much money......agreed.
  18. Mike Sixel
    wow.....just, wow.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, they have no catchers......so, ya, nope, no catchers in the OF.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It is also hard to be objective when things are like May......there was an awful lot of chest puffing in late May, early June on this site.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Hope to see Berrios soon, and Duffey in the bullpen soon.
  22. Mike Sixel
    People come to watch winners, so if they are going to keep him on the roster, he should play about 1/4 the time....imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    How is saying "he gives us a better chance to win", not saying he was better for that moment? I don't know how else to parse that phrase.
  24. Mike Sixel
    why the bleep did he change again? I don't get it.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Admittedly, not everyone, but a lot of people thought it was worth rolling the die on Hughes......now, rolling the dice on Hughes, Nolasco, and Santana, that was not as popular. Each decision, on its own, might have merit. All three? Not so sure.
