    He's been great. Hopeful it keeps up!

    The difference is, they seem to make it work. The vikings, I think, have shown they can't develop raw OL at all, they've certaily tried. If he's a defensive genius, use draft capital on offense, and let the genius do his work.... but really, I want to move on!

    Go look at the list of players the FO has added the last two years, at the MLB level. Let me know if your faith is up or down after that....or don't, you may not like the experience much.
  4. Mike Sixel
    wow! very happy for you.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I know! That's why the Eagles won, they found good/great OL, and other teams didn't. It's like having a catcher that can hit in baseball, it gives your team a huge advantage over others.

    I read this every year, that the board just didn't fall that way. Eventually, it's a trend, like, over a decade.

    How has that strategy worked out for the vikings? Maybe Zimmer isn't a DB whisperer, maybe he's really good at convincing his GM to take DBs early, over and over. Maybe that's why they have some good DBs? In any event, I've made my points, and am ready to move on. I predict DE/T hybrid, OL, or trade back in round 2.

    it came out yesterday? who knew?
  9. Mike Sixel
    No, I state clearly they dont' draft OL early enough. I never once said they don't value it. Not one time did I say that, or imply it. I said the OL isn't good because they don't draft OL early. LIterally.

    check out the projection! https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-fringe-five-baseballs-most-compelling-fringe-prospects-105/ LaMonte Wade, OF, Minnesota (Profile) Upon further examination, it seems as though LaMonte Wade should have probably appeared in every edition of this column since he was selected in the ninth round of the 2015 draft. As a professional, Wade has recorded more walks (185) than strikeouts (155), produced modest but not anemic power numbers, and created value afield according to the methodologies employed by Baseball Prospectus and Clay Davenport. On the one hand, maybe he’s not a center fielder in the majors. On the other, he’s already projected by Steamer to record a 97 wRC+ — i.e. better than the offensive marks forecast for Robbie Grossman (96 wRC+) or Eddie Rosario (94 wRC+).or Byron Buxton (91 wRC+).

    that's three times as many as Spielman, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    it's been year after year, nick.....if this was one outlier year, the comments would be different.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Look, spielman doesn't take OL in rounds 1-3....they literally have one decent OL on the team that he's drafted right now. That's....not good. This is not about round 1, nor is it about one year......

    Twins Slumps 11:11 Twins hitters are down across the board (Sano, Rosario, Buxton, etc.). Do you contribute that to the weather/schedule? Which of these guys do you think will get the wheels back on? Jeff Sullivan 11:11 I wouldn't worry much at all about how the Twins have looked through the first month of the season. They've had the strangest first month of any team in either league https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-4-27-18/
  15. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this....like Carlos Gomez, for example...
  16. Mike Sixel
    Pats just drafted an OL in round 1, and traded for another OL....
  17. Mike Sixel
    actually, the line gave up hits on 45% of dropbacks....that's quite bad.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd argue decent to good OL last year, not very good....that's one. Out of five.....in all the years he's drafted OL, how many good ones do they have on the roster right now that he's drafted?
  19. Mike Sixel
    BPA is not some exact science....weird how OL seem to get drafted in round 1 and 2 by other teams, like, maybe, I don't know, they value OL play.....they must all be wrong though.
  20. Mike Sixel
    we keep planning to go, and end up doing something else. Not sure why, we both want to see it.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Always been a supporter of automating the strike zone. The human element is the players, not the umpires.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I still need to see Black Panther. Maybe this weekend, if I can find it.....I hear I should see that first. Oh, right, Twins. Go. Win. Etc.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The Rays did not tank this year. They traded an old, overpaid player and got something in return. Projections had them with a similar record as the Twins, until the Rays lost two starting pitchers before the session started. They also added decent veterans. In no way were they tanking the year. As for Rodney... Results matter, just as process does.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Good luck Kirk....
  25. Mike Sixel
    The longer the front office is in charge, the less I like their approach. Another old, never actually good, pitcher?
