    No, playing young guys in a lost season to see what you have (have they improved or not) and to get them more reps is more important to the team. Hughes was pretty clear on his thoughts on that, and he agrees with me on that, actually.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd be shocked if they go into the season with a $90MM payroll. Also, I'm personally (YMMV) pretty tired of the "we spent $80MM in FA this year" talk....can I say that revenue is over a billion dollars then? That's basically what it would be if we looked at the same time frame.

    It appeared Gardy was trying to get Suzuki his bonus money.....contrary to how Phil Hughes acted. It appears that way, based on comments. could just be that he wanted Suzuki to start a ton of games in September.
  4. Mike Sixel
    While the precision of framing can be questioned....it exists. And Suzuki is not rated well at all. I would argue it is more important than base stealing. I do like the guys in the minors. One of the deeper spots,imo.

    Thanks to both sides of the interview for this, very nice.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ya, Seth is right on this.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Their future budding stars are five or six years from being paid. I doubt signing good players now effects that.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Uh, the Cards sign free agents, and trade for veterans. The point on being snake bitten, is that all players carry risk. Even sure fire guys that are supposed to be elite carry risk. My argument remains that they have failed to mitigate that risk, by signing bad players, and wasting money and roster spots on them. My argument is that I don't want to wait decades, I don't even want to wait six years. Others are willing to wait, but given ticket sales, I am guessing most fans agree with me.

    He was very good and patient. Don't agree having Bartlett on the roster, with Kubel and Guerrier, had no effect on the season. Bad roster decisions matter.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Prospects get hurt. They fail. Waiting for them and ignoring other options, like cubans, to fill your roster, is a long, slow, process. It sometimes takes decades.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It's the 2nd or 3rd most important job in his company (not counting players, where he seems to be staying out).....I'd expect him to be involved at this point. He would be for any other company he owns, I'd guess, at that level.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Do your therapy. Always. Good luck.....sixteen months in and I still have weakness and pain in the leg I broke.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    But it was a written rule, not sure how those are punished in MLB......
  14. Mike Sixel
    I find it fascinating everyone is spelling his name correctly.
  15. Mike Sixel
    They need 2 weeks of meetings first.... /s /false meme....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think Chicago and MN are similar in the rankings of which teams they root for...... The timing makes sense, if he wants a job before FA starts.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    He doesn't strike me as an Edina guy.Typical Twins offering the wrong thing......
  18. Mike Sixel
    To fans, IMO, this would be an indication that they aren't stuck in the 1990s, and are willing to embrace newness. I also think it would be a good hire. It would also give them a chance to say.....this is why we didn't spend 52% of our revenue last year, so we'd have the flexibility to do something like this when given the chance. And we just did. So shut up about the budget already.....or something like that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ah, right, that name. Thanks Seth.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It looks like Plouffe, Sano, and a bunch of AAAA or minor leaguers (or players so young, they are not any older than my kids, meaning we have no idea what they are or are not). The big international FA signing a couple of years ago, he's an OF now, right? Sorry, I can't recall his name.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't think we know how different any of these guys are, really. I also don't know he needs to be opposite of Gardy, just different in a few ways, I think.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I do agree that you want a manager in there ASAP after the World Series, so that FA and others have some idea what they are signing up for.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Nicely done. I'd say "lost", not "losing" from the casual fan base.
  24. Mike Sixel
    No one forgets that he had less experience....but he is in A ball, and on the 40 man......that's the issue.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Martinez was my guy
