    Thanks Tom!

    The fans were drained. It was hot, humid, and long. The Packers fans around us were great, everyone was having fun. The atmosphere leaving was a mix of anger over the roughing call, relief of the miss, and frustration over the miss. But it was great. Go there sometime if you can.

    Trading guys not part of the future for lottery picks. Castro. Trying to fix the bullpen this off season. It's hard to give them much credit for picking first overall and getting a great prospect, at least for me. Next? They need another very good starting pitcher, a middle infielder, and a player that can play third, and first, and hit.

    Treadwell is probably a fourth WR.... Which is surprising. He didn't have catch issues at all in college. I'd cut the kicker. The team will never trust him. Cousins made throws I could not believe. They did not play well in the first half, unfortunately. Was the punter slow on the block, it's always hard to see details at the game.

    Holy cow that was an exhausting game to be at. And, cut the kicker. So much excitement that second half. Fans were great. Go there if you can

    How did they do in year two and three?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Great interview. Of course leadership matters. It is just that talent matters more.

    Only one game out of the sixth pick? Is that right? Remember when people said I was crazy to point out how picks in the top ten were so much more valuable than pick twenty? I wish I had been wrong. Very wrong.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Most national rankers see him as a relief pitcher.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    One of whom this FO added. I don't give them much credit for guys here before them....
  11. Mike Sixel
    The point is... In two years they have added no mid term talent, no one but Austin will be here next year and beyond. How many years until we can expect major league talent to be added for more than one year? I don't care what they got for Lynn, I care that no one is added to the roster. I guess Grossman too..... Pineda has one year....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'll be there. I am only mildly optimistic..... But it is a great place to watch football.
  13. Mike Sixel
    In two years, adding Castro, Austin, and odirizzi, and no help in AA or AAA that will help in year three is progress? Short sighted? Give me a date we can expect wins..... When can we no longer say it is short sighted to add long term talent in trades or free agency to the roster?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Uh, I got bad news....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Season?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Why are the nationals trading young players after they lose Harper? That seems unlikely to me. Couldn't Royce Lewis be that guy?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Only people from Minnesota can be GM? Nope.

    Somewhat allergic to pine trees, so we have a fake tree now. It pains me. Not the tree, btw.... Decorative pillows annoy me, and I don't really get annoyed easily anymore. I like the couch or campground for napping. I forget the other questions.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Heh. Vacation and some work while in Minnesota and Green Bay. Thanks for stepping up!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Pre draft, which are decreasing but not gone.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Castro is the best signing. Who is your catcher otherwise?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Polanco might not be a short stop. Is he playing second at all right now, because maybe he should be.
  23. Mike Sixel
    How is... All they have to show is Austin and Castro...., not about next year. That's it. In two years that's what they've added to the MLB roster. Oh, and odorrizi! They acquired wholly mediocre players last off season, and got mediocre results from them. As Chief points out, Mauer is older, Dozier and Escobar are gone, Santana is gone, or should be. Who, on the roster, that this ffront office acquired, is their replacement right now? Because that 80 million isn't spent yet, and we don't know how it will be.
  24. Mike Sixel
    As for 2017.... Where are they getting Dozier production from, let alone Buxtons best year, an amazing year from Santana.... Everything went right for that club, including amazing sequencing.... As for the 40 man, the major league team looks worse next year than any year the last three. I'm not sure what this front office has done that fixes anything in the short to mid term. And it is hard to give them credit for picking first overall... Every player picked in the top five is a highly ranked prospect, so it was hard to be wrong so far. I said I'd give them three years to show me progress. So far, the team is actually worse next year than the last two, and any good players are from before their time.... So what have they done for the major league team? Because trades and free agency exist.... And they have Austin and Castro to show for their efforts. This off season is a big test for me.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    They are not playing the young players..... Gimenez, Field, Grossman, Belisle.... Are not young. If they were playing the young players more, that would be good.
