    Agree on all counts here.

    "this"....riiiiiight.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    how do you propose he prove it, if you don't let him get ABs in games?
  4. Mike Sixel
    an interesting comment.... Jared 2:13 Going back to your Brewers answer, do you think getting a top of rotation pitcher is realistic for Milwaukee? Keith Law 2:13 Who? Darvish isn't that. Arrieta isn't that. Not sure who they could get.

    Marshall MN 2:05 Klaw, last week you gave a pretty quick reply to a question about whether Stephen Gonsalves was considered as a Top 100 prospect. I realize that I am scouting the stat line some (that is all I CAN do afterall), but what did you hear this year as compared to last year when he did make the Top 100? Also...thank you! Keith Law 2:06 Same guy he was a year ago, still doesn't have the average breaking ball to make him more than a back end starter.
  6. Mike Sixel
    ok? That would be a great rotation, imo. I give it the tiniest of chances, but I'd do it.
  7. Mike Sixel
    If Garver is the backup catcher, he probably will almost never be anywhere but catching or the bench, imo.

    Nate Silver thinks it is about 50/50 right now for the House.....every retirement makes that more likely, if only because the GOP has to spend money in places they had not planned, even if the seat is "safe". It's really about how angry, imo, certain people can stay, and if they show up and vote. I'm fairly confident the GOP base will vote......

    It's not likely the division will be this weak again.....Det and the Sox will graduate players this year and next. I have no idea if they can take down CLE or not, but they should get a huge edge in the unbalanced schedule this year. It is a good year to take advantage of what they have been given, imo.

    I've been tweeting with Eno since he announced he was sad last night......he's been very nice in recommending beer and stuff to me and my wife. He did say "for now".....so we'll see what happens. But, huge loss. If they lose Sullivan or Szym....not sure I'll go as often.

    James 12:23 How bullish is Kiley on Brent Rooker's bat? Kiley McDaniel 12:24 Kiley was a little skeptical of it when Rooker was an amateur, but his debut was better than Kiley was expecting. Kiley thinks it's still fringy bat, plus power, questionable defensive value but it's something worth watching, not just some stiff 4A power guy Derek Falvey 12:45 I'm planning on going to spring training this year and watch some backfield games. Which Twins prospect should I watch? Kiley McDaniel 12:45 I feel like I should be asking you this. But I would recommend BRUSDAR. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-1-31-18/

    Ha, how did I forget that? Idiot..... and ya, they aren't getting Buehler, that's a dream. I'd have to go look at their lists again to see what I'd want....oh well.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins won't or can't sign Yu, I would explore this opportunity to help LA do so. I would want Buehler first, but I would take Calhoun and two low level players. Then I would try to flip the low level players and some of the Twins existing guys for a pitcher. Calhoun has good DH written all over him.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think good is right, but not great. Agreed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Eduardo Nunez? He can play third when needed
  16. Mike Sixel
    Matt Kemp can't hit either. And he is super expensive. They would trade him for anyone
  17. Mike Sixel
    That 26 million does no good to the fans if they don't spend it. None. If they don't get a starting pitcher, it seems unlikely they will be in a position to add at the deadline.
  18. Mike Sixel
    What happens if Darvish is awesome for three years? why do people only assume the worst when throwing this stuff out? If not now, when? Next year every team will have re-set their penalties, and the Twins will be bidding against all of them...... that list next year looks no better than Darvish, and some of them will get hurt....so, who?
  19. Mike Sixel
    no one is disputing that.......but no team is built w/o FA or trades, well, no winning team. At some point, you have the money, you spend it or pocket it. The Twins aren't going to develop their way to a championship, or much of anything else, this year. They have no one in AAA that is ready to come up in the first half, and no big time prospects in AA or AAA that look likely to dominate this year. Again, no one is disputing that players a team develops are cheaper, and more efficient. No one.
  20. Mike Sixel
    especially if you hold UNH.....and NVIDIA as your two largest holdings.....whatever. I don't need that money for years. I hope.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If he has an option, he won't make it to the Twins to be claimed. If he has an option, and he makes it to the Twins, it is an easy choice, they should claim him. If he doesn't have an option? I'd probably pass.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Are they? Mostly I see stuff that says the logo is racist. Did the people of Ohio really think it was a great tribute, or are they attached to it because it is a logo of a team they root for? I kind of doubt the former is the case, but I could be wrong. But none of that answers why people care about a logo.....the wolves have changed theirs, the Twins keep changing their hats and unis....what difference does it make to those that like the team if the logo changes? Like, I literally can't think of why it would matter at all, if it is the team people care about.
  23. Mike Sixel
    what tactics? no on is violent. no one is doing anything other than saying change it on social media and other places.....so what tactics? what "social justice mob?"
  24. Mike Sixel
    There are no young alternatives in AA or AAA right now. If there were, I might agree. But, they are all left handed, or they don't exist.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd take my chances on 3/50 over taking 18......
