    Brob? Wow.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Really? KLAW and fangraphs don't seem that high on him, unless something has changed which is possible.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why? I mean, I like the conversation.
  4. Mike Sixel
    that's not even close to the point.....fans want MLB wins, they don't go to MLB games because the farm system is good or bad. No one said anything about "not agreeing with building the farm system".
  5. Mike Sixel
    I agree with him that the masses (and even most here) care about actual winning of games more than hope for the future. No one is buying a ticket this yer or next year because the minor league system is deep. The FO will have to figure out how to do that more than 1 season in a row for buyers to return.

    I'm not sure how this sentence is supposed to make me feel good: In 45 2/3 innings, he had allowed just seven homers. That rate puts him 132nd among RPs.....now he's nearly the worst among qualified RPs at 155 (Reed is 156 out of the 158 qualified RPs this year).....when I looked, I saw three Twins in the bottom of the rankings....I wonder what that means? edit: more like 125th or so, I think....but whatever....
  7. Mike Sixel
    you are such a giver!
  8. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to Mauer. Dude was a raking machine earlier in his career.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Is it true that Zankder K's more than Zander?
  10. Mike Sixel
    great trade. Even if he doesn't work out, a 7th rounder? Great trade.
  11. Mike Sixel
    they haven't at all, but people on this thread are literally doing that. So I'm not sure what point you are making here.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Let's just say Fangraphs isn't as high on him as others.....the rankings aren't universally agreed upon.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sacrifice bunt in inning 4? Sign me up!
  14. Mike Sixel
    scoops and missed scoops are in the advanced stats, yes.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Well, hitting and fielding and base running, going forward......and position flexibility, not just DH and infrequent 1B.
  16. Mike Sixel
    If he's a legit number 2 or 3 type, he gets at least twice that in the market. 2/20? That's less than he gets in arbitration and the QO.
  17. Mike Sixel
    no one is saying 25 HRs.....but single digits, with not many doubles anymore, and an inability to play in the field even half the games matters...... I'm still not sure I get the "25 best on the roster" thing......he is a DH and part time 1B. I'd rather have Garver at 1B, and Kepler, and Sano, and Austin and Rooker. That combination allows them to have options they don't have now, and also very likely results in much better hitting. It isn't just power, or just walks, or just singles, or just doubles.....it is all those combined. And, all those combined, he's not as good as any of the players listed above, other than Rooker, who has a chance to be as good or better going forward. Mauer was a great player. He no longer is. It is possible that if he played 120 games at first his defense would matter, but since he doesn't even play 81, there just isn't enough accumulation of extra outs to make up for what he does on offense compared to other options.
  18. Mike Sixel
    No idea why he didn't catch last time he was up, but I'm glad he is now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    This.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, he doesn't pitch, catch, play OF or SS or 2B or 3B, so it's not a matter of being better than any of those players....... It is a matter of being better than Austin or Rooker or Kepler or any FA or 1B/DH they can trade for. Or Sano if he gets time at 1B, or Garver if he does. No one on this thread has asked him to hit 25 HRs to be on the roster.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you only pitch three players....you aren't playing for the long haul of 162 games, no matter how good or bad they are. The FO signed three FA RPs, and there were other players already the roster. If people are contending there were only three RP options, then I don't think we agree on the early season options.
  22. Mike Sixel
    How many games, in how many opportunities, has it been now?
  23. Mike Sixel
    From numlock news (nice free email of random stats): A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 84.5 percent of Democrats and 51.9 percent of Republicans would support a policy of Medicare for All in the U.S. healthcare system. The precise implementation of that policy credo is a bit fluid, but the gist is about 70 percent of Americans look favorably on offering some sort of baseline medical care in the U.S.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Garver certainly can hit......now if he can become a decent catcher (which he may or may not be now, but from what I'm told, not yet)......
  25. Mike Sixel
    he's not even going to play half the games at 1B this year.....no way he plays more next year as he ages and others come on the team.
