    Not a fan. There is no evidence in the outcomes produced that he's good with the staff, but there is plenty that he's bad (from his time with other organizations). That said, if they refuse to play Pinto, I guess this is the best option. My guess is that they will be regretting his bat a lot the next couple years (and his awful pitch framing).
  2. Mike Sixel
    If that is it, he gets an A for the trade he made, and a series of Cs or Ds for not moving KC, Willingham, and Suzuki. YMMV, of course.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Not a huge Suzuki guy......but it won't kill me if they extend him.
  4. Mike Sixel
    There are no compensatory picks for guys traded mid-season, so the A's won't get a pick if/when he leaves. edit: scooped.....

    Hope you are right Dave. Would love to have the three Ms in the rotation with Hughes and Gibson. That would feel so future looking, and be effective eventually. Feeling more positive now......

    Vargas up? that is surprising. Wow.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Great trade by TR. I'll give him an A on this one. I'm not sure Milone is even median, but he's a legit SP in exchange for a 4th OF. the ONLY negative is that this probably delays one of May / Meyer, doesn't it? Will TR turn around and deal from their glut of MLB/AAAA/AAA pitchers? Or will the Twins have legit MLB SP sitting in NY this year and next?

    I love teams that go for it when they have a REAL chance. Love it. Even if it does not end up working, he's trying to win it all.

    Suzuki is blocking Pinto. Or, Willingham is blocking Pinto. Together, they are blocking Pinto. If this team is ever going to actually rebuild from within, they need to get the young guys up here, not sitting in NY or CT.

    There are names.....some of the current chaffe could be cut though, imo, without much loss. I do agree, I would not add Buxton this year, as much as it pains me type that.
  11. Mike Sixel
    13 starts with 1 or 0 runs given up.....sounds pretty consistent to me.
  12. Mike Sixel
    My five..... Arcia, Santana, Meyer, May, Buxton.....with a Rosario bonus, though he is not doing what I had hoped this year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Thanks!
  14. Mike Sixel
    I have seriously tried to be more positive lately. Today, I am not succeeding......

    Not deleting posts.....sorry. When typing up a post, there used to be a cancel button. I know it is redundant to "back" or just erasing the post, but it did make it easy for me type a tirade. Read it. And hit cancel before posting my stupidity.......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Brock, did there used to be a "cancel" button by the posts? Believe it or not, I'd sometimes delete my tirades and not post them. I assume now, I should just hit "back' or something else. I liked the button, but if you are doing agile, you can put this at the bottom of your user stories......
  17. Mike Sixel
    If only there was a solution to the log jams of players.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    It is not about salary. Back of the pen guys should be fungible assets you can option up and down to AAA. This is one reason they have issues, imo, they do not manage the roster properly.
  19. Mike Sixel
    And this is why I stopped being a dev, and am now in architecture and product ownership.....thanks for your work Brock. Really. thanks,
  20. Mike Sixel
    What jeremy said for sure.
  21. Mike Sixel
    On the mobile version, where can I see my settings?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Love the new organization chart site. If someone had time, they could put in links to MiLB pages and stats and stuff.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not sure if you care, but at my crappy work computer, it looks 100X better on IE8.........I love the new look a lot. Can't wait to explore more when I'm back home.
  24. Mike Sixel
    some teams accept that the last 2-3 years are the price you pay for the first few years, and are probably not counting on value in those last few years. You can decide to be fine with that or not. $/WAR is a great measure, if you are willing to live with low WAR, you can have a low budget, but then, you'll lose more, right? If it costs $6MM for 1 WAR, and you only spend $12MM, you get 2 wins.....or, if you pay more, you get more wins. If you pay for bad pitchers, you will generally get bad pitchers. Me? I'd rather pay for good to great pitchers, and not waste money on 1-2 WAR pitchers.

    Looks pretty good to me. I think they try to trade down again from there, to take Carr or someone else besides Mosely. But if they stay there, I think it is between Carr and Mosely.
