    Ya, I think that's like the earth is flat, and I don't mean that as an insult......., it seems obvious, but it must not be real, otherwise teams would be doing it, and we'd see all kinds of internet articles about how this is the answer to injuries. I think you are making a ton of assumptions, and there is no evidence that it works......
  2. Mike Sixel
    How long ago did you say that?13 days I hope......

    I'm assuming Buxton and Berrios are added either this year, or during next year, not after 2016....so it is 16 guys to be added effectively, not 14 to be added this/next year before next year ends........and, if any of these recent RP are brought up, they need to be added to the 40 man, or do people want to wait 3 more years for them to come up? Hence some of us wanting some guys traded, which isn't happening, I'd guess.

    Is there actual evidence doing this would protect anyone's arm that is already used to throwing starter innings? I'm guessing ZERO, otherwise every team would do it.

    If a minor league all star game is impeding his progress in any way, that is just stupid, and I have no issue typing that word...........so I hope you are wrong, and that's not why he is not in AAA or MLB.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Funny, I was just coming on to say I forgot that part before, congrats to Eades.
  7. Mike Sixel
    ah, my bad, I thought you meant us all here .....kind of feel silly for the whole conversation now!
  8. Mike Sixel
    too early to give up, not to early to be disappointed so far......but this is his 2nd year in life being dedicated to baseball. Next year, imo, is the year where it would make sense to either be thrilled, or quite worried.
  9. Mike Sixel
    so a random guy on the internet should reach out to minor league coaches and national scouts? is that realistic, in your mind?
  10. Mike Sixel
    who should those people talk to? I do agree, 1 game is nothing to draw a conclusion from.....

    1, Having all veterans with no options means you have no flexibility. It was a mistake from day 1. 2. He took up a 25 man roster spot, that could have gone to someone of use, that would maybe not supply negative value. Every roster spot matters, despite how this team has acted the last 4 years. we saw it last year, we see it this year. 3. If they are still rebuilding, as many here contend, the young guys should be up here, so they can gather data on them, Achter, Oliverous, Tonkin, x, y, z, should all get time here this year so they can sort things out. 4. If they are not rebuilding, then they certainly shouldn't keep someone around that long that is really bad. And, there is no reason to repeat the mistake with Duensing, who despite what people keep typing, was awful last year also.

    Thanks for the update. The time for Buxton is now, imo.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Good point Nick. He wasn't all that good last year. They have lots of young arms, but signed him. It was inexplicable then.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Joe is a huge problem, but I already was chastised once today for bringing that up in a thread that wasn't about him.......as is Suzuki. Two biggest black hoes if you don't move Sano or give Kepler a shot.....and not idea what to do at catcher.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The argument seems to be, don't make CF better until you fix other problems first? That's not how baseball works, or any business. They aren't related at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Unsignable, right?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Except last year's stats and this year's disagree that he is AAAA, no matter how often you say it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hicks is terrible with the bat, of course Buxton should be better than that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Re:streaky players....if at the end of the year you have good year long stats, are you less valuable if those came in streaks of great for 3 weeks and bad for 3 weeks than a guy that was good most weeks, but rarely in a great streak? Do we know he is really streaky, and we aren't using arbitrary dates?
  20. Mike Sixel
    My apologies. Yes, Plouffe is struggling. And, I did read it, I thought you were just commenting on part of it (and including Mauer threw me off, I admit it). I will be bummed if Plouffe reverts, he seems like a guy that had figured it out.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I thought this was a post about the lack of hitting in the meat of the order.......isn't Mauer part of that (along with Plouffe and others)? I stand by my contention, the issues stem from the roster makeup, and not really having more than 2 legit MLB hitters right now that people can count on, maybe three. Dozier, Hunter, Plouffe are it, relative to the other players at their positions. That's it. This isn't, imo, about Plouffe's slump, it is about the roster.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The issue for the middle of the order isn't one player.......but yes, Plouffe has struggled. Mauer is a major issue for this team, like, going to really hurt them for years. They have chosen to carry 13 pitchers, and love Escobar for some reason. To me, those and Mauer are the real issues here. The odd roster construction and Mauer's current skill set are the real issues.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I would put him in FM as a reliever. If he is great for a month, promote him to AA. Probably shut him down after another month or so. Next year, send him to either CR or FM as a starter, probably CR.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Only Terry Ryan can open that door.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I like the high upside HS hitters and Jay picks. I am less certain of the tall pitcher......
