    Appeal to authority, one of my favorites.

    Wasn't Bard hurt before he was drafted? I think another guy was too, but I am sort of paying attn. to this work meeting.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough. I'll stop. I don' think this last guy is ABW, ABW is pretty athletic, isn't he?

    I'd like the strategy more if the FO would follow up on that, and actually use their AAA and AA RP in the majors, but they want veterans, so I don't get the strategy all that much. And, none of them have made the majors yet. For the person talking about the "complaining" (I prefer discussion), we are talking about a three year trend, not 1 pick.
  5. Mike Sixel
    none of those were college RP, right? We aren't arguing a point we aren't making......

    When one of these guys works out, for multiple years at the MLB level, there will be evidence that they should have the benefit of the doubt. And, I don't think they are top 3 because of the picks of RP, do you?. But like I said, they are either genius, or really wrong. I don't know which yet.
  7. Mike Sixel
    If you are going to keep drafting college RP, when other teams don't as often.....you are either a genius or not all that bright.
  8. Mike Sixel
    My thought also.
  9. Mike Sixel
    if your strategy is to not buy a championship, you have to be better, or your strategy won't work. This isn't some "lesson" we have to learn. How condescending. It's just a weird coincidence that some teams haven't lost 90+ games even 1 time in the last 10+ years? We disagree on this, but at least I don't make condescending remarks about it.

    Tall pitchers make me nervous........hopefully they find some secret to unlock here.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Thanks for this. Wow.
  12. Mike Sixel
    So basically don't question a pick? They have been terrible at developing pitchers.....of their starters ONE is a guy they drafted. I think skepticism has some warrant. I like Jay. The next pick? They have broken Meyer.......Bonnes did a study, almost no tall pitchers have worked out in all the majors.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I share your skepticism that we see this guy any time soon.
  14. Mike Sixel
    A reliever.......not sure how to feel about that. Good luck to them, they have exactly one SP in the rotation they drafted......so let's hope something has changed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If they are in the playoffs, they better not trade him unless they already got a better pitcher added somehow........so no, I can't believe they'd repeat the mistake of dealing while they are in the race, and getting worse......I just can't believe they'd do that again. And yes, I think there is a decent shot they sign him again.....and Hunter......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, and I'm not complaining at all ..... just saying that the statement that they might take pitching because they lack arms.....and AA is STACKED.....well, I was just saying the could use more hitters in A-, A also.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There is an insider article on ESPN about how most GMs leave it up to the scouting director, and if they don't, then they have the wrong scouting director......is that not the case here? "Ryan has the final word"......
  18. Mike Sixel
    They have aren't exactly flush with hitters below AA either......
  19. Mike Sixel
    they always say that, then they can say "we are so glad he fell, didn't think we'd get a guy like this".....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Most people on the planet thought he should be at SS last year, if that was the future plan. For some reason, he was not.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you can't handle criticism, you probably should not be in a leadership role for your own health.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I was going to ask about 6 for 6, then I realized this was games in MN......

    Spotted Cow=most over rated beer EVAR!
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand what in Escobar's minor or major league performance suggests he "deserves" a chance. He hasn't earned any benefit of the doubt.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This year it is partly about somehow clustering hits (and errors by opponent directly leading to runs, not just runners). I don't recall last year. Also, Plouffe, Dozier, and Hunter can hit. But the number of runs is partly driven by clustering.
