    fair. I just think less than 12 months in is a bit early to decide. But so far, sure, Lewis looks great, no question.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Sucks for us all....but moreso for SEA
  3. Mike Sixel
    Sano, and not close.

    Trades just don't happen, of good players, historically until July. That's what history shows us. Whether teams should or should not trade earlier is a different discussion, but they just don't usually. Super, super, rarely. So, another 6 weeks by your timeline. In the meantime, Wade could be up and playing (though that is less needed now that Buxton is back, agreed). I'm not sure why we are looking at 6 weeks of data for Wade, but a career for Grossman.... And, despite people continuing to type it, I disagree. Defense matters.
  5. Mike Sixel
    that literally has nothing to do with the post i replied too....which was that being a top 59 offensive player in all of baseball isn't good enough. No place was I taliking about the past......
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'm a huge believer....

    They need guys who can hit, left or right. This handedness obsession is odd to me. I get it, I don't agree with it. Don't forget defense and baserunning.... Sure, trading for an OF would be nice, but that's not happening until mid July....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure, I haven't thought about that. But they certainly aren't promoting any better options soon, even if they are there....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but that's not what i thought you said, must have read it wrong. I'd be thrilled if he's one of the top third of players in the game.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Wade is 25.... And you are worried about options and service time? We probably don't agree on that. He certainly plays better defense than Grossman, and he hits better than Buxton, and maybe Grossman. Despite what people say, Grossman plays a lot. A and he's replacement level.... Gordon? I just think he's going to be better than what they have. I understand the doubters. I don't agree with them. And, forty man? They don't need everyone on that list now, as we see from history when they turn over the list every year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Top one third of all players isn't good enough? How high are your expectations?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Some exciting performances right now!
  13. Mike Sixel
    Wade and Gordon should be up here, imo. They really miss Sano and Polanco on offense. A lot.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I was just going to post this same question. They need him, despite what his detractors say.
  15. Mike Sixel
    How so? All five or six of the first picks are top fifty prospects. Only Greene is struggling and he's 18 or 19 years old.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I've been hoping for that for months.
  17. Mike Sixel
    would it really matter?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Really need Sano and Polanco back.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Probably more like most first baseman make plays we think are not usually made.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Correct. Only this time, they had the, maybe, better player in Minnesota, not Rochester. I'd rather have Castro and Garver, then Garver and Wilson, than Castro and Wilson first....
  21. Mike Sixel
    this.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think we'll just disagree on this. And, if they won't put good players in AAA to start because it is in a cold weather city, maybe they need a new city.
  23. Mike Sixel
    and yet Romero was in AAA to start. Why him, and not the others?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't think so. You are basically arguing they don't want him to take off this year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I worked on Bob Doles presidential campaign. Tim Pawlenty asked my wife and I to move to Minnetonka, where the party wanted me to run for House, them move to the state Senate in two terms. I was Senate district chair for the party for a term. Etc. The party has moved so far to the right, as have most Democrats, that I am now considered a leftist. That's the issue here, somehow being pro freedom and roads and schools is leftist. I have moved way left on one issue, health care funding. Other than that, I am mostly the same guy.
