    I don't get the "it's better to throw limited innings in the minors, and never come up to the majors until you can throw 200 innings" argument. didn't get it last year, don't get it this year. A pitch is a pitch on the arm. He's no less likely to be hurt in MN than in AAA. At some point, you need to get over being afraid, and try stuff, like, last year, in a LOST YEAR. But, alas, they did NOT try stuff last year (at least with pitchers other than May).

    Please go with some young guys, and give us some hope. Stauffer offers nothing at all.

    One of the worst teams in baseball.....no room for any rookies again this year. Hopefully it won't take as long for help to come this year as it has in recent years. Hopefully, the guys that came up last year produce this year. But it boggles the mind that this many years into the rebuild that they can't find room for any rookies.

    Funny, I read "worst staff in baseball"......so, ya, I guess I agree with it all. My bad.

    he's 25. I don't think anyone is forgetting anything about his age. How many Elite starters haven't appeared in the majors by their 25th birthday? I have no idea, but I'm guessing not many (and, yup, some have, that's not really the point, you don't bet on the exceptions).
  6. Mike Sixel
    While I liked Ken's post.......I didn't agree with the last part.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Still waiting any positive return from the trades.......disappointed he couldn't throw strikes.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Another great interview. Thanks to the Twins,Twins Daily, and the players.

    I was responding to the article. TR has been clear, that's not an issue for him (I call BS on that on Sano and Buxton, but we'll see). The issue is that a rebuilding team is even considering Pelfrey as a legit option to Meyer and May at this point in the rebuild, imo. Others may disagree, I'm cool with that. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Y'all don't even want to sign pitchers past 31 or 2....why worry about Meyer and FA past that? I can live with Meyer waiting 12 days......after that, I doubt there's a good reason to keep him down (barring injury, of course). No reason to keep May down now.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Meyer is a bit told for a pitcher, to be worried about service clocks, imo.
  12. Mike Sixel
    some will say "just wait, it will be worth it". In the meantime, the team has so far gone 2 years without a CF.......that has a cost (in wins, and ticket sales). Those losses can never be recovered. They happened.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I knew I should have stopped reading this thread. No my head hurts just thinking about the implications of what you just typed......I was pretty sure last time!
  14. Mike Sixel
    True on that. I'm not really complaining, I'm disagreeing with what I see as their approach so far. they can do what they want to do. No real skin off my back either way. It's just sports.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Danny Santana ain't in CF to keep those numbers up........if it is Hicks/Schaefer, good luck being near league average. Good luck not being in the bottom 2 or so.
  16. Mike Sixel
    We have a whole section on their lack of patience with young arms compared to young hitters. They have young arms right now, and Pelfrey is old and won't be here next year. There is 100% no reason to start him this year. Not for this year, not for the future. Wasn't Pelfrey hurt last year (I know that thought is shocking), isn't that why May got more starts than Pelfrey? Was Santana here last year (as in, that's one less spot for May or Meyer)? I can only go by the actions I see. I have no idea what is in his head. If Pelfrey is the starter, it will be very hard to understand the actual strategy, at least for me.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's what I was told last year, and Meyer never came up at all......not being up means it is less likely you are up. Since, you aren't up.
  18. Mike Sixel
    This is a great example of why averages suck for comparing stuff.....it completely ignores variance. It completely ignores how valuable an outlier (elite) number is in a situation like this. That said, as Oakland mostly showed last year, you can win with a team that has no weaknesses, and no elite players also......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they are eager to see the young players at all. If they were, we'd see them. They clearly are not following either the 87 or 91 path to success, that's true.
  20. Mike Sixel
    You do realize WAR is a cumulative stat, and Pelfrey has been in the majors about twice as long, right?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd like this 10000000x if I could. Gotta get those pitches out of the arm before it breaks, especially RP guys. Not to mention that research shows they start losing speed on their pitches earlier than thought......
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think it is Milone or Pelfrey, just like the bullpen is veterans probably. I'm not going to judge that decision right now, even though I disagree with it. Maybe it will work, but I'm not betting my house on it.
  23. Mike Sixel
    This isn't football or hockey with injury concerns. If he has the passion, and is playing well, he should keep playing. That said, he should be willing to consider being a DH......
  24. Mike Sixel
    At least that aren't giving false hope to fans that these guys might be up soon.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff, thanks for writing and talking.
