    Except the MOST LIKELY outcome for each team is that they not win 90 (except maybe WAS).....but if you asked the same system to project/predict if any team would win 90 or more, the answer would probably be yes. Those are two different questions, though.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Toward the mean.....but not to his past. that's what I think. he'll still be a legit number 2 starter, and that's darn good (since there are only about 15 or so number 1, imo).
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. But, the Twins don't seem to care all that much about "advanced" statistics. Surprised they didn't hire Dave Stewart (other than he "isn't one of us").

    I find it somehwat specious to say Pinto can't play defense ..... we just haven't seen him enough to know. This is the same team that thought Hardy couldn't play defense....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Great lineup. congrats on what looks like a great event.

    If only this thread could not be one person's thread, and be about the cool event.....If y'all want to talk about the other stuff, maybe move it. I know I'm not an admin, but I came to this thread to read about a cool event, not to re-hash an argument over and over. Great event. Have fun everyone. I probably can't make this work this year, alas* *alas, as I hope this is my last winter in MN, so this would be my last shot.
  7. Mike Sixel
    That's what I get for glancing fast at work. Sorry, just ignore that post (assuming you have not already ignored all my posts, which I guess jokin has not......).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Note that CF and SS have the same adjustment.....so for WAR purposes, Santana is not playing a more premium position. If I had to bet......I'd go with Arcia (I'm just going to assume he's healthy).
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'd love this post if I could.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well, it's not how I would rebuild a team, but I can't argue with any of it. Having May, Meyer, and a bunch of RP sitting in AA and AAA? Waste of "healthy" arms. We are now 3 years into not having a CF, three years.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Rest. If healthy, go shag balls in LF someplace. But rest.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why would you want Hunter to help pick the next CF? Why would you think he's a good GM?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I think the following will be up: Meyer, Sano, Rosario I think the following should be up, but might not for some reason I don't understand: Burdi Other RP whose names I'm not thinking of right now while I'm working I think the following will get looks: Polanco again Other RP late in the year Two random starting pitchers, not to include Berrios I think the following have a good shot in September: Berrios Lots of RP that weren't already called up I don't think Buxton comes up, unless one of the following happens: 1. He is a beast out of the gate, which I doubt 2. They are in the playoff hunt, except CF is an abomination and he's doing ok or better in AA 3. Tickets sales are awful, and they call him up in August or September to try to make some money
  14. Mike Sixel
    If only there was a guy in AAA who could fill that spot, and had electric stuff.......and then another guy in AAA that could take his spot if he moved onto a full time starting role. Alas, that does not appear to be the case, from the most vaunted minor league system ever* *hyperbole, btw.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Very much what I thought TR would do next. The pitching was terrible last year, and he's clearly not going with the prospects.....so this was obvious. I'd bet there is 1 more to come.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I approve of this decision. Congrats to both sides.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I read on FG that Buxton might be more hurt than we know.....but it sounded like speculation. Anyone got anything on this? Like, he might have a broken collarbone, is what I believe I read.
  18. Mike Sixel
    People keep typing he is a good MLB defender....that is not what I saw, heard on the radio, or see in the stats.....where do people get this idea?
  19. Mike Sixel
    If he wasn't handed the job last year, what was the other option, exactly? He didn't HIT that well even in the minors. Who, here, said "give up on him".....and, the Twins did not give up on Gomez, they traded for a starting SS.
  20. Mike Sixel
    he's not really a switch hitter, though, right? He's a RH hitter, who "hits" like Drew Butera from the left side.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't get the desire to keep switch hitting. Hasn't really worked, ever, for him, from what you read. Can he be fixed? Sure, anything is possible. Will he be fixed this year? I'd bet no.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Torii batting 2nd? Where does Mauer hit? First?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ah, get your point. Ya, this has run it's course.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I am sure they have a good plan. I am not sure what it is, I just hope it works.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough......I'm not trying to win any argument, I'm genuinely trying to understand the argument being made that the Sox did something wrong this off season. I'm not sure what they should have done differently (other than maybe buy cheaper bullpen help, but that's just money that they have.....). That was what that post was supposed to be about. They were bad, they spent money to get better. That seems to be a good idea to me.
