    Assuming it wasn't blocked at my work....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I would write for that site.....

    I too love Parker's work.....

    buy me beer, and mock me in person, it's more effective that way.

    I remember when people mocked me for saying Kepler would be the Twins' 1B around 2017 or so.....still hoping he succeeds!

    The draft, as it stands, is bad for everyone, frankly. If you had a hybrid draft/FA, where certain teams could make certain sized offers, and others could make smaller ones, or where the worst 10 teams were able to sign 3 players for x money, and everyone else could only sign one for that much.....that would be better for everyone.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Of, they could stop sitting on piles of money and blow through their slot and sign a bunch of highly ranked prospects. That would be a real change. Spending in their slot? Not much of a change.

    Ugh. Baserunning gaffes, running into the wall.....maybe he has a "baseball IQ" issue.
  9. Mike Sixel
    About time they start worrying about nutrition......but it does no good if they go back to awful food starting in April. Are they working on that at all?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Cool story. Thanks for doing the interview, both of you.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Well, this post shouldn't surprise anyone...... they aren't making the playoffs this year. They have tons of RP types in AAA/AA. I hate the Deunsing re-sign. I hate any RP signing that isn't about getting the youngsters here, and seeing what they have. I really don't get it at all. I'd rather see May or Meyer, for the same reason as above.......the only way to see what you have is to, you know, see what you have. But, I agree with Seth, it will be Milone or Pelfrey (that 2 year deal remaind mind boggling). One or both of those guys will come up for a few starts or stay up, but I'd rather they just start the year here. As for the INF? I'm not sure I care all that much. Not sure what t`e options really are. As for CF? I'd rather Hicks be in AAA, playing every day, until he proves he can hit a baseball to some degree.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Funny, I thought this would be about AA vs AAA....... I think he's a 3B until he proves he's not. Plouffe will either be traded, or moved to the OF. But, I've been wrong before.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't listen to interviews, so that does nothing for me. I'm glad it helps others though.
  14. Mike Sixel
    This part. 100% this part. It is about talent.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Mike saying "no way Santana is that good this year"......
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't think Hicks will maintain that OBP, but if he does, I agree, put him at 9 or 1.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ha, nice cross post!
  18. Mike Sixel
    In retrospect, I somehow forgot Plouffe. Plouffe should probably be 6th or 5th or maybe 4th.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Santana Mauer Dozier Hunter (i anticipate a higher OBP for him than the remaining players) Arcia Vargas who cares after that?
  20. Mike Sixel
    FWIW, Kiley on Fangraphs today said he thinks Meyer is a future closer, not starter.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Once May and Meyer add wins, we can count those. do we also count the negative WAR from Worley as part of the value of Revere?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Who here is arguing anything other than the outcomes? Not an explanation, not an expectation, but whether the outcomes are good?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I have a hard time ignoring everything but his OBP. That seems like a bad way to build a team. He can't hit MLB pitching. He barely hit minor league pitching. I think Hicks should be in AAA. I think they will start him in CF in MN.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, looking at the picks and comparing the WAR generated does just that. It compares their outcomes achieved to other teams. And, they don't fare well. Those arguing that the time frame should include the last 3 drafts.....go for it. I bet the actual MLB outcomes produced look no better for the Twins. There can be all kinds of explanations or excuses, but the outcomes are the outcomes. If they are so awesome at getting in talent, whey are 4 of 5 starting pitchers on next year's roster from outside the organization? If they are so good at getting talent, why do they have 4 straight years of 90+ losses (so far)? I don't get why people get so defensive about this. They are terrible. They have been terrible for at least 4 years. That is driven by an insufficient number of good players. Why is that hard to acknowledge?
  25. Mike Sixel
    A point where people seem to disagree is that the Twins should expect to do poorly drafting so late.....vs some who say that is not an acceptable expectation..... It is hard to know if it is all drafting, all development, or what percent of each. It is hard to know how they really make decisions. All we can really know is the outcomes vs other teams......
