    Twins 4:22 The Twins have to take advantage this year. 3/5 AL Central teams rebuilding. Why haven't they been more aggressive? Steve Adams 4:23 They're arguably the team that has been most prominently linked to the market's top free agent (Darvish) They've signed Addison Reed and two other veteran relievers. I wouldn't call them passive.

    Ya, I never implied otherwise...

    Hep 3:12 Twins rotation is Steve Adams 3:12 Not great! 3:13 Ha, realistically -- it's probably Ervin, Berrios, Gibson, Mejia and whoever they sign/acquire -- be it Darvish/Cobb/Lynn or someone like Odorizzi 3:14 Mejia isn't a lock, but I'd characterize him as likelier than other internal options like Slegers, Duffey, Enns or prospects like Gonsalves/Romero Tommy Titan 3:24 Could the Twins pursue Zack Greinke? That would be an obvious match. Steve Adams 3:25 I think there's a match there, sure, but they probably don't want to take the whole contract. If they could package what's left of the Hughes deal in there or just get the D-backs to eat a fair portion of the contract annually in exchange for some decent prospect capital, you could make the argument that they're better suited to go that route than pay Darvish for 6 years. Buddy 3:31 Still saying Darvish to the Cubs. What say you? Steve Adams 3:31 I've been stubbornly saying Twins for most of the offseason; no real reason to deviate at this point. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-2-6-18-2983.html

    Oh, i agree, it was more a "if they think he's really got a shot there" comment.....I have no idea if he does or not.

    If Jorge has the stuff to pitch in late innings, I'd move him to RP......interestingly, on FG today, the prospect guys said that MLB teams are valuing late inning RPs more than number 4/5AAAA types.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    No, but in their projections, yes.....that's what they think will happen.

    JaKob 1:06 Was Brent Rooker even considered for the top 100? He claimed the SEC Triple Crown and came out of the draft on fire. Eric A Longenhagen 1:06 As we talk about 40 and 45 guys we like for next year and try to put them into buckets we can write about, one of my groups is 'The guys who are staring us in the face' and I think Rooker and LaMonte Wade are two of those guys. Clint 1:31 Do you like the move of Royce Lewis to the OF? Kiley McDaniel 1:31 Yes, think CF is the best position for him

    The message needs to not lose the base, and energize/convince the people on the fence that the Dems are the better choice.....I don't know what that message is. Here are some options: 1. Universal Health care.....it is a bogeyman, for sure, but it is inevitable. I give this one a 1% chance of being part of the message. 2. Public infrastructure to get jobs ..... the delta here is public vs privatization. I think this will be part of the message, but is not interesting enough to get the margins moving. 3. Safety nets and "its your money"....a message about medicare and social security, it is your money, you should still get it...blah, blah, blah.....true, but not energizing. 4. Liberty and freedom for ALL.....this would be fascinating, as we seem to be back to the dems being about this, vs the GOP. I never would have guessed this 30 years ago....is this energizing? I doubt it. Frankly, I don't know what people CARE about, other than not liking or liking Trump, at this point.

    Anthony 12:39 Do you see Wander Javier being a realistic threat to be in this range midseason? I assume he's a 45 right now? Eric A Longenhagen 12:39 Yes to both https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-top-100-prospects-chat/

    This isn't about the Twins, but is really interesting..... HE Average Sports Fan 12:12 With the changes in pitcher usage, is a guy with 4-5 starter profile less valuable than a back end of the bullpen profile? Kiley McDaniel 12:13 Yes and we tried to reflect the changing value of these guys and guys that lift/don't lift the ball in the list. Mike Fiers might give you 150 good innings in the regular season, but he isn't making the postseason roster and McCullers' is going to go out there and throw a ton. Teams want more McCullers so we feel like we should rank according to that preference. Teams also seem more inclined to draft high effort high school arms with finessee issues to this end, so it's seeping into the lower levels of baseball. It's probably not just a trend.

    I was not passing judgement,I was answering a question. Worse for this team, and this is a judgement, one of the good pitchers is in his mid 30s....
  12. Mike Sixel
    counter productive to march and block the streets counter productive to sit in the front of the bus, or at the counter with the whites ..... if we were in teh 60s, everyone would be typing how it was counter productive to do what the civil rights movement did.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I think the point is that nearly all their pitchers are no better than number 4 types......other than Berrios and Santana. I think that was the point.... I'd guess Mejia sits in that 4/5 AAAA range most of his career. That's a valuable asset, just not a game changing asset.

    If it is a military anthem, and not about the nation as a whole, then it is not the national anthem. And I am not required to stand for ideas at all.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I would bet money on Rortverdt starting in CR.....but not a lot of money.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Military people who think the anthem is about the military, and not the nation........make me sad. Since when is the anthem about the military, and not the nation? If it is about the military, maybe it is time we move on from it as a nation. And no,, it is not wrong to not stand for the anthem. It's a song.
  17. Mike Sixel
    It's wrong not to stand in peaceful protest, or it is wrong to make that an issue?
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's much worse than 10 for me! Anyone got a job they need filled?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Assuming winning matters at all. If it doesn't, then of course they should pocket the money.
  20. Mike Sixel
    If I had executed my plan this morning, I'd have made a lot of money. Instead, I did what the experts say, and held my position and lost a fortune.
  21. Mike Sixel
    help me understand the part about getting more prospects? I don't get that part.
  22. Mike Sixel
    sports have been part of the entertainment world for thousands of years. Sure, baseball will eventually die off, but it will be replaced with something. Probably rollerball....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I would be shocked if they aren't dealing veterans at the deadline, unless they add at least 1 SP before the season starts.
  24. Mike Sixel
    and yet fox just increased payments to the NFL by nearly 20% per year for 1 game a week......no bubble bursting in site just yet.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Crazy drops considering how everyone is reporting huge earnings. If I had a job and cash....I'd be feeling good about buying in a week or two, once the dust settles.
