    The Twins are tenth in Klaws rankings of minor league systems. Depending on if the Brewers drop a lot, after the trade, ninth.

    So you side with the billionaire owners? Not me
  3. Mike Sixel
    Players want the most money, especially older ones. You'd have to pay yu like 100 million for two years in a short deal, I'd guess. Then he could sign a three year deal at fifty...... Maybe even a four year at sixty.

    About half the time iyn my phone today there had been an ad over the next button at the bottom of threads

    I love this post so much. Like, if I was writing a book, I would ask permission to use this. .. But my book is not in the real world, so it would really be odd to include it
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yellich just went for more than that.....i think you have to do better than gonsalves for your second piece.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Yellich is an all star signed for cheap. And he's in his prime. This is exactly the kind of guy you trade for, imo. He's also a position player, so less likely to get hurt. And at least one of those prospects plays the OF, so the young guy is extra.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Who is better that is available? Do people think the Twins will outbid everyone next year? Do people think Dozier will stay if the Twins don't get help, after last year? This is one more year of Buxton and Sano. I would prefer they actually try to win while those two are both here.
  9. Mike Sixel
    My guess? Mid priced FA starter, and a trade for a starter using OF. This just about guarantees the Cubs respond, btw... Sigh.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Relatively young players like Archer are not free agents. How is it better to trade players, than to spend only money?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Serious question... You'd rather the owners pocket the money, than make the team better? Because there aren't many young free agents, ever.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It appears the Brewers are acquiring yelich. Good for them
  13. Mike Sixel
    People say that expensive FAs are bad, because they don't always work out. I'm suggesting that those people probably don't compare that to other avenues of acquiring talent, to see what avenue is the best. Obviously, context matters. Really bad teams shouldn't sign a guy like Darvish. But, imo, it's hard to say that SP FA contracts are bad, per se, w/o comparing that to other options for acquiring talent.
  14. Mike Sixel
    How does that compare to signing bad FAs? Or using only prospects? I'm guessing that's a better ratio than either of those.

    Bill G 1:06 Thanks as always for the top prospect lists. Max Kepler and Nomar Mazara. Is there still upside or what we see is what we get. Thanks! Keith Law 1:06 Still upside on both. I'm in. twins fan 1:17 Could you give us some thoughts on Brusdar Graterol and Akill Badoo? Keith Law 1:17 In the Twins report next week. I believe both are in their top ten (I haven't written the AL Central yet). John 1:21 How close was Stephen Gonsalves to making the top 100? Keith Law 1:21 Not close. Twinzies 1:26 Given the recent Kohl Stewart football rumors, I thought now would be a good time to ask what happened to him? I know he had injuries, but he didn't seem to perform well when healthy. I've also heard about makeup/attitude issues from Twins beat writers and also wanted to know if you can expand on those makeup/attitude issues. Keith Law 1:26 Stuff backed up, arm isn't as quick as it was in HS. He denied the rumors, BTW. Never, ever heard a bad word about his makeup. Paul 2:13 Has your opinion on whether Royce Lewis can stay at shortstop changed or is it just the Twins who are optimistic about it? Keith Law 2:14 Twins are optimistic. I try to reset judgments on players when they get into pro ball because they get help from new coaches and of course the entire game is different - wood bats, play every day, faster pace, etc.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Lewis Brinson Cuddles 2:03 Sano or Devers? Eno Sarris 2:03 Devers.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't either, but IMO, you still need to sign/acquire better players. He's a start. He's here and effective, imo barring injuries, for 3-4 years. That is really big, given the window of Sano, Buxton, Rosario, Polanco, Kepler.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    i'd rather see Gonsalves or Slegers or you than Garcia.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Teams don't want front loaded deals. Inflation, etc......it's just how the world works.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Gonna be hard if Gonsalves and Romero gradutate to have a top five, imo. It's also possible Gordon gradutates, though that is less likely, I believe.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Nope, no implication of dishonesty at all. I really have no idea what they are trying or not trying. I just don't care if they are trying. As a fan, not shareholder, not friend of them, not anything other than fan, I want entertaining, winning, baseball.
  22. Mike Sixel
    some really good stuff in here.... https://www.theringer.com/nfl-playoffs/2018/1/25/16931792/five-team-building-lessons-season-patriots-eagles
  23. Mike Sixel
    I bet Cobb and Lynn are waiting it out at this point.
  24. Mike Sixel
    WormsleyCommonGang 12:05 Eddie Rosario - you a believer in his ability to be a top LF this year in fantasy? Eno Sarris 12:06 He actually added launch angle late in the season, among league leaders in added angle. Something about his approach leaves me cold, but he seems athletic and has a job... this next one is a bit sloppy....chats.... Shawn 12:09 Which fringe contender can help themselves the most by signing one of the big FA? I'm thinking Mil or Win w/ Darvish or Arrieta Eno Sarris 12:09 Or Minnesota, or is that "win" maybe. Yeah the Twins made it far without a staff, a pitcher would be good, but so would like three more. I mean, yes, they did have Trevor Hildenberger. Trevor Hildenberger Fan Club 1:30 TREVOR HILDENBERGER IS REALLY GOOD!!! Eno Sarris 1:30 He is! https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eno-sarris-baseball-chat-1-25-18/

    It is not their job to try to improve the team. It is their job to improve it. Danny Santana tried, didn't mean we should judge him as good or praise him for trying. I will judge them on progress, not being in on players. Others feel differently, that's cool with me.
