    I think it is possible, only slightly, that if Rosario is good on O, and great on D, that they send Arcia down to AAA. It wouldn't be the first time they do that (see, Hunter, Torii).
  2. Mike Sixel
    Correct, I remembered it wrong.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I like that these awards are about performance, not about how good of a prospect a player is. There are other ways to discuss that. Let's just recognize and admire good performance, regardless of "prospectiness"......
  4. Mike Sixel
    Isn't it possible that this is about Rosario, and the Twins seeing what they have (getting more data), AND HAS NOTHING to do with Hicks? Why not just take the move at face value? Why try to read so much back story into the move?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Reading that article. .....makes you wonder why Meyer was not treated that way last year. THIS is what a rebuilding team should be doing.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I find it baffling I am on the defend the FO side......I find the move very sensible.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Thanks Seth. Great read.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Or, they really want Hicks to succeed next time he comes up, and they want him to keep working on something. I rip the FO all the time, but I think we should not jump to conclusions about Hicks with this move. There may be a ton of reasons they want to try this, like, I don't know, giving Rosario a taste of the majors to see how HE responds.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Congrats to him. And, Mr. Hicks, we are still hoping you'll force your way up soon.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Correct, Markos.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'd say getting Santana back is likely to help them not totally fade in the 2nd half.....or maybe having some options of guys to bring up from the minors that are MUCH better than the options the last two years (of course, they'd actually have to call them up, which they seem oddly averse to doing).
  12. Mike Sixel
    Again, not about options....years of cost control....are you going to burn one for a month? I wouldn't.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not options, years of cost control.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If you aren't calling up an Elite prospect by July.....I can't see burning a year of control to get him a sniff. IMO, he's either up before August, or it's another year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think this is about when Trout was promoted....... I agree this was the plan. Never thought it was the right plan, we'll know a lot more in another 6 weeks or so.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Not handy......at work....and actually paying attn on this call
  17. Mike Sixel
    I very much want to be wrong......very much. It's great to see those laser shots.
  18. Mike Sixel
    cool. commenting on me, and not the thought. All the experty types on line don't think he's a long term hitter. We discussed this last year when he came up. didn't feel like retyping all of it. I'm very glass half full on things that I think deserve it. I don't have high expectations means just that, based on what I've read from experts NOT part of the Twins' organization, they have low expectations.
  19. Mike Sixel
    There are no guarantees. I don't agree that the "only way to build his value" is at the ML level. He needs to learn how to hit, he is working on that in AAA. That, to me, makes sense for where he is right now. For him, not every player, for him where he is right now. "we" know a lot about Hicks from the last two years. What we know is that he really needs to work on hitting. For him, imo, that's best done in AAA right now. If he keeps this up for another 2 weeks or so, I would promote him, and then see what he has. So, we are arguing over 2 weeks or so..... And, in no way would I have had him up at the beginning of the year. He wasn't ready. Sometimes guys need to learn in the minors, sometimes in the majors. He had 2 shots already at the MLB level, this time it was time to do it in AAA.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Great read! Thanks for writing it.
  21. Mike Sixel
    ???? hicks is learning how to hit, and become a real MLB player. Schafer is in MN to play CF until Hicks or someone else is ready. This is about tomorrow, not today.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I have low expectations, but I think it is certainly possible he can be good.
  23. Mike Sixel
    That would be a dream. More likely is a SP, plus a decent prospect from the Twins, to get Van Slyke.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Uh, what? Mauer is one of the best hitters ever.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Pacific NW. Portland or Seattle are the leading contenders.
