    Machado

    No chance. What if he doesn't sign? You give you Sano for less than a year of Machado? No chance
  2. Mike Sixel
    How about catching? Maybe at least one third of the time? Where did I say DH?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Garver was the prospect of the year here not long ago, not a flavor of the month. Not even close. As for Lamarre, I have no idea why you mentioned him on response to me. I've never asked for him to even be on the roster.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I remain concerned about his hitting, yes. Concerned does not equal convinced, btw. ..
  5. Mike Sixel
    There was no reason at all for Lynn to go back out there. Terrible decision. This is the Rodney they signed, don't know why anyone is surprised . Same with Duke and Reed. I agree with a poster above, they should call up Garver at some point and play him
  6. Mike Sixel
    No, but I can see concerned from where I sit now.

    Rock Kickass 9:21 Berrios, Snell, and Corbin are showing off a lot of their promise. Which of these do you think can sustain their success for the rest of the season? Jeff Sullivan 9:21 I think all three are good, but, with Berrios and Corbin, these current levels are unsustainably perfect 9:22 I really love how Corbin has developed his slider. It's covering a range of like 10-15 miles per hour! https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-4-20-18/

    I loved our visit there a couple years ago. Highly recommend it.

    https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2018/4/20/17259846/minor-league-baseball-anti-labor-ronald-acuna-scott-kingery drop in the bucket, but they don't care about these humans. The article doesn't even mention that minor league players need to pay for their equipment....
  12. Mike Sixel
    those three have years of MLB success. And the question was about Berrios, not every pitcher.

    Machado

    JT remains my top trade they right now. And I get that catchers get hurt.

    Machado

    Mike Sixel replied to cmoss84's topic in Other Baseball

    I'd love him in MN, for example.....but does he move the needle enough to give up 2-3 legit prospects? Even one? Remember, you only get him for 80% of the season, even if you get him now. If you get him in July, it's less than half a season.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    a: its a chat b: he'll regress, no one is this good. c: you don't think there is any luck in the HR rate?

    Who's being ignored? Seriously? I'm not sure people disagree that you can or cannot call it out, I think they believe: 1. That criticizing Rosario for boneheaded plays is not racially motivated, since he seems to make a lot of them, and even he seems to realize that. Using this as the OP weakens the argumemnt, imo. 2. Pointing it out is implying there is racism, and that creates tension. That tension can be good, or it can be bad. Even if you somehow don't think this, it is still the message received by many. 3. Saying no one is trying is ridiculous on its face, and insulting. 4. We aren't going to solve society's problems on this board, but discussing how we can might help us do more on our own. Saying we are ignoring the real problem because we are also discussing how to address the problem, or not, is insulting to those trying to have this conversation. 5. If people want a different discussion, start a post that way, and ask for something specific. 6. Carole's post is awesome.

    Machado

    Mike Sixel replied to cmoss84's topic in Other Baseball

    Their owner won't let them trade him, imo, or he'd have been traded already....This is also the owner that doesn't believe in international signings for some reason... I guess it's possible he'll see the writing on the wall this year, but I have my doubts. Too bad for their fans, they could have gotten a nice start on building an actual minor league system.

    this is great. thanks!

    Brady: I know it’s been only 4 starts, but Jose Berrios has been absolutely filthy so far. Is it likely he’s taken the next step and will be the #1 type starter the Twins have been looking for since Johan left? Keith Law: His stuff doesn’t seem to be any different; he’s had an extraordinary rate of generating popups, which can be a skill (but maybe not to that extreme), and of keeping flyballs in the park, which is sometimes a skill but rarely. So I think there’s some regression coming here. Rob: Kohl Stewart has put up K numbers in his first two starts that he hasn’t shown in pro ball yet. Being left available for the Rule 5 and being passed over by everyone light a fire, or some sort of adjustment? Keith Law: Or he faced an atrocious Birmingham lineup and struck out 9 guys in 5 innings because they’re terrible. Keith Law: I mean, here’s . Courtney Hawkins and Keon Barnum each had the golden sombrero.

    It's almost like that post where I said message sent is not message received didn't happen..... I'm not asking for it to be easier, I'm suggesting that understanding my, and I'm going to say my here on purpose, feelings would help the conversation. As for the conversation, not sure what you want. Everyone has agreed there is racism in the world. Everyone has said it is bad. Not everyone agrees that Latin players face more racism. I guess we could discuss that? Other than time and ongoing protests, and trying to change an individual mind here and there, I don't know how to fix this, frankly. Not voting for racists certainly helps, but in the long run probably didn't matter much.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure you are listening. Whether you mean it or not isn't the point. It's how it is being received. That's kind of the point, you aren't meaning to say it, but that's how it is being heard. It just is. How we get past that is an interesting question, actually. But not everyone agrees. I'm not sure there is a good way, but acknowledging the other sides' feelings would be a good start.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Still not listening.... Guess I'm out. No place did I ask for praise. Read again. Or don't.
  23. Mike Sixel
    An observation....a group on this thread is still participating, even though they feel like they are being called racist, or were. But I feel, feel, that another group is not listening when we say that you are implying it stating we are racist. Why is that? And yes, Latin players face a ton of racism imo. Edit, that's a terrible sentence, but using my phone for longer posts isn't working g great sorry
  24. Mike Sixel
    Great user name, btw. I'd probably promote Granite if they need someone, and move Wade and Gordon to Rochester.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Very happy for Berrios and Rosario!
