    I've been predicting 1B for years...... Buxton, Rosario, Arcia, Hicks, Sano (maybe), ABIII, all have a chance to be in the OF. He reminds me of Morneau.

    I don't know.....we had an article on Mauer's new approach showing how much better he was (hasn't been), and Hicks new approach fixing his game (hasn't)......I think we can not make a conclusion about Rosario just yet. Me? I'd let him play all year in LF, and see what you got, they used to do that around here (mid and late 80s, leading to WS).

    Always been a Kepler fan! So happy to see him healthy and producing.

    So, the beer is better......interesting. Unless something changed recently at TF, the craft beer scene there is mostly in bottles, mostly. I remember interviewing for a job in Detroit, and they didn't want me to walk 2 blocks due to the danger. That pretty much sealed the deal for me not going there. I do know a couple people that live there, and they really like it. But even they admit it can be intimidating.

    We don't know how good Turner is compared to all the other minor league catchers, do we? Hard to feel great, imo, about a 23 year old that has not yet hit low A pitching (or mid A or whatever you want to call it). Gonsalves has been very good, I agree, he'll be up to Ft. Meyers soon. I am really interested to see what happens with Kepler and Walker, they both have something that others don't really have (Walker, power, Kepler is just all around very good, potentially, and all around is rare).

    One time, and I posted about 10 times that my opinion was based on his career, and I pointed out about 10 times that my opinion was NOT based on this year, that this year was confirming my opinion. Why are we bringing this to this thread? I simply asked if it was too early to come to conclusions based on this much data.........you assumed it was about the other thread. But, when I read KLAW and every fangraphs writer, and most every thread here, we all agree it is still SSS time. Maybe, it was about that, and not some evil thought on my side.

    The meme that Arcia and Vargas are future David Ortiz.....I'm tired of that meme. We just don't know that at all. Hicks SHOULD be a good fielder, but he has not shown that at all in his first 2 stints. I don't know why people keep typing that he is/will be for sure.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I thought it was too early to look at stats and draw conclusions. I don't trust Nolasco or Pelfrey at all. I trust Gibson and Hughes to be good. I am unsure on May.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Why can't we be happy they are both good? Why do people feel compelled to compare them all the time?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Oliveros is the obvious answer of who SHOULD be up, imo.......but I am betting it is not him.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wait, don't send down Schafer because the Twins are winning? That is a very bad logical fallacy. Schafer has done nothing to show he belongs on a MLB roster, nothing at all. All these SSS stats about him and Robinson are highly amusing, given how people are posting on the Suzuki thread.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Don't forget, there is smallest chance Sano is your RF some day.....but I don't see it right now. I am waffling on my stance, I think THEY will wait at least 2 more weeks, but I think I'd just do it now.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Also, the world has changed......people probably need to adjust their thinking on HOW MUCH* a corner OF needs to hit to be even average now. *as in, Hicks isn't there yet, but it's probably not as big a number as you have in your head
  14. Mike Sixel
    All the people saying "wait"......IF he keeps this up, how long would you wait? 2 weeks? 6 weeks? More?
  15. Mike Sixel
    I predict 2-3 more weeks of success is needed before he is up.
  16. Mike Sixel
    My hair is actually quite short right now, thank you very much.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I thought we were too busy invading TX right now......* *pls don't turn this into politics, if that happens, my bad.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't know if I'd put Land of the Lost in your queue....... X files or Warehouse 13 (a super light x files type show, sort of) or Torchwood if you've watched enough Dr Who.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    The SP is far ahead of previous years.....so that provides hope to me that things will be better than the last 2 years, but no, I still think, as composed, they are a 88 loss team. It's too early to think differently (for me anyway)......so given they've banked some wins, now thinking 85 loss team or so (as currently constructed).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope he forces Ryan's hand in 4-5 weeks.......or 6...... So, I'm not totally wrong, or totally right, about the numbers.....but if he does not ever go back down, it looks like calling him up in September is a bad idea. Would you take that risk? I would not. thanks to those of you that politely discussed this part. Appreciated.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I stand corrected......so if they call him up in September, that won't effect which year he's eligible for FA? I stand corrected.
  22. Mike Sixel
    June, or next year. They can't burn a year of control on an Elite player by calling him up in September, that would be downright stupid. I'd prefer June, if he hits well until then. No idea why you'd waste a year of control for less than 60-70 games this year.....no idea.
  23. Mike Sixel
    How the heck does Rosario sit, and someone NOT PART OF THE FUTURE, plays? So. Dang, Disappointing.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree it is very unlikely......I just don't think it is zero. let's hope Rosario is so good he at least makes them think about it.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    No idea, but it wouldn't be the first time a MLB team did this, would it? You really think there is a zero percent chance they won't send Arcia down?
