    I agree they are lacking fieriness.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I was told that was part of the announcement.....that Hunter would be in RF, and Arcia in LF. If not, as I said, this decreases to hate, not super hate, the move. It might even drop it to dislike.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Not because of Young being left......that was just a better team. Like I said in another post, maybe they are just going to try to outscore everyone. It has worked for other teams.

    Look, I'm trying hard not to post about his beliefs, and the hypocrisy of his statements about very bad behavior that he finds acceptable.......but if we really want to talk about what a great guy he is, I'm sorely tempted to offer pages of links about what a great guy he isn't...... If Hunter thinks it is more likely he'll win in MN than in TX, are we supposed to admire his baseball IQ? Do people really think that MN will be better than TX next year?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Cool list.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Tell that to Delmon Young, chief..... when did Arcia last play LF? If he takes bad routes, is that likely to improve seeing the ball in another angle? If he isn't super fast, is moving him to the larger field a good idea? If Hunter is gone in a year, and Arcia is your RF after that.....why not leave Arcia in RF, and move Torri, I'm a great leader and teammate and will do whatever it takes to win, to LF?
  7. Mike Sixel
    If Hunter could still play defense.....wouldn't the Tigers have kept him, or Seattle have signed him?
  8. Mike Sixel
    If you were a SP trying to resurrect your career.......would you come here with Arcia in LF, Hunter in RF, and ???? in CF? A guy on a 1 year deal, with upside, would you come here?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Then put the 39 year old in LF, and keep the young guy at his natural position. Then I only hate the deal a little, not with the passion of 1000000000 burning suns* *ok, that's an exaggeration
  10. Mike Sixel
    I would not sign here as a FA SP for a one year make good contract. It looks to be bad out there on defense. We can disagree on how bad, but does anyone think the OF defense will be anything other than bottom 5?
  11. Mike Sixel
    this is true.....especially the spouse golf thing, sigh.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    The Captain won gold gloves when he could barely move.....GG mean NOTHING.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Or that the minors aren't doing their job in developing the right attitude. Look, I believe in leadership. I believe culture makes a difference. I just don't believe that it matters more than talent, skill, training. I do think, that if Hunter is a great leader, it makes a difference. But, if NOT ONE guy on the roster can do that now......that's a failure of the development staff, imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Yikes!
  15. Mike Sixel
    I agree with all of this.
  16. Mike Sixel
    And moving Arcia to LF is going to help him take better routes how?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Who, among those that don't like this deal, do you think forgives Cuddeyer's defense? My guess is the people that forgive Cuddy's defense are the same people that think Hunter's defense is fine. If you don't believe the "stats" how about on Fangraphs where the fans rate defense? They hate his defense, with their eyeball test.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I still don't get how this helps Arcia's long term development as an OF.......
  19. Mike Sixel
    Let's just say that there are a lot of people that aren't sure Hunter is a great guy, and that must be a fair topic, if the "pro" crowd is going to keep bringing it up.
  20. Mike Sixel
    They took up roster space, it isn't about money, but roster space and opportunity to try to find upside.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Man.....theleviathon and I agree super strongly on something, and Seth also agrees with us.....something is really wrong here.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The more I think about this, the more I hate it. It really reminds me of moving Young to LF to keep Cuddeyer happy, only worse. Has Arcia played LF in years or years? Why would any FA pitcher sign here, other than money, with this OF defense in front of them? Maybe their new plan is to just score a lot, and not worry about run prevention at all.
  23. Mike Sixel
    So they move the young guy with a future out of position so they can sign a 39 year old.......how does that help when they are good?
  24. Mike Sixel
    so, when the bullpen is exhausted in August, and the RP are all veterans.... They should have traded "high" on Burton, Duensing by now....and also Fien and Perkins.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Relief pitchers, not starters. I think there are guys that could be up here now, and not older RP that won't be sent to the minors (that was their issue last year, imo). Jokin and I were talking about RP.
