    I guess I am not sure they want him at SS long term. If they do, then yes, they are not acting in a good way, strategically.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed 100%. he really should be up now in place of one of the current guys. I really don't understand the development or 40 man or 25 man strategy of this rebuild.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Schafer/Shafer/whatever.....he's got over 1000 PAs, and has terrible defense in CF. He's here this year to just to make sure they have a backup OF. IMO, he should almost never, ever play.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I hope to never see Shafer after this year. He's terrible. But, for this year, given what has happened, it is what it is.

    Would be interesting if they actually used their farm system for RP, and didn't keep signing 35 year olds. Why not promote a guy or two from Rochester right now, and see what you have? It is looking like those experts that thought Burdi should be in AA to start may have been correct.
  6. Mike Sixel
    AAA pitchers are much better than AA (as a whole group), and Hicks will be more challenged there. He should be in AAA right now......to continue the growth. As for Santana, I disagree, and I know no one agrees with me, but I think he's your CF until Buxton is up. And, that might not be half way through next year. I also think they think Polanco has a chance at SS. Me? I'd leave Santana in CF until Buxton is up. IF Santana has been successful up until then, I'd move him or Buxton to LF. It's not like Santana is a great fielding SS. I don't expect these numbers to hold up, but it is possible he could 280/335/440 or something like that. With some speed, a good arm, and some steals? That's a good enough line if he can play defense out there. Or, maybe he is Ben Zobrist for MN?

    Once again, Meyer's pitch count makes his day look worse than it probably would have been.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I also agree with chief.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Brock.

    The money is not an issue. They are swimming in money.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Except, there is no evidence that Suzuki does that. Not in MN, not in he previous jobs (where you can better compare pitcher outcomes with different catchers). There just is zero actual evidence in outcomes produced he does that well. And, there is evidence he doesn't do it well (see other teams' results with and without him). All the positives are anecdotes, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Pinto has been a catcher for years. He is not clueless. That just is not fair.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Oh man. That quote is depressing.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Torii Hunter is terrible right now. I don't get why people keep typing his name.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think they want Polanco to be the SS. Maybe Santana is Ben Zobrist?
  16. Mike Sixel
    If Pinto needs to work on his D, why is he DHing so much in AAA?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Sure, if Hicks and Buxton are up here, that would be great..... I think it could be Buxton-Santana-Hicks, frankly......with Arcia your 4th OF/DH. Or, make Hicks the 4th OF who gives all three a day off..... Not that I am convinced on Santana, but until he fails, he looks like a success.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I've been saying this for the last 2 years. Especially if a team can't find good SPs......like the last few years. Won't ever happen, thought.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great writeup, thanks. Given that service time thing, it would be odd / bad for them to call him up before Sunday, wouldn't it?
  20. Mike Sixel
    No reason for Deduno to be on the 40 man next year: Hughes, Gibson, Nolasco, Pelfrey, May, Meyer, Milone, Darnell, Johnson, Gilmartin, Berrios, Pino.... even if you just cut Pelfrey, that is 11 pitchers.....and I am sure there are other AAA/AA guys that could be on that list.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Move KC to the pen....much easier solution, imo. KC to bullpen, Pino and Darnell down, the three M's in the starting rotation. That's what I would do. When Nolasco is healthy, either shut down Meyer, or move him to the pen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No one is calling anyone names, I don't see any condescension at all. People disagree with the move, and most are supplying their logical reasons for disagreeing. That doesn't mean that side is right, but it doesn't mean they are being mean or something. Some of us don't think he'll be a good player in the future, and would like to see the future, since almost none of it has debuted in this rebuild. I know I'm on that side. I'd like Pinto up here, learning and hitting here, like Brian Harper did.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Who would be unhappy? I think everyone would be happy he is doing better.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Who are these mythical better OF next year? Because they have zero in AA or AAA right now you could count on. Nyerere May have a point, but it just seems low.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I too cannot believe how little Tampa got.
