    They literally traded a rental for Ryan. I'm guessing they can get the "raw material" of a starter for several of their non core players.

    We're going to go from top pitching prospect in the game to, he's not good, based on a few starts? I doubt baseball agrees with you. I could be wrong, but I'll bet you good money he's not dealt this year based on valuing him as a RP.

    I'd like him playing in the OF or first. If he ever plays SS for the Twins, something went incredibly wrong with the three guys ahead of him, not to mention CC. I could see third occasionally also, but this team refuses to move guys off SS even when we know they won't be one, and then wonder why they aren't good in the OF, see Martin.

    Great post. The delta between fault and failure is a good one. This is mostly on the ownership, as they clearly changed the rules right after allowing the FO to spend . Then the FO for me. They pick the players and manager. They have utterly failed to develop good, let alone great, players. Their insistence in keeping bad veterans around is a huge issue.

    Great post

    Missing the playoffs pretty much every year should be an indication of that.... They have two or three guys that I trust. That's not enough.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Bunting with the bases loaded is a terrible idea. It's virtually unheard of on professional ball. HS teams do it....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Why wait that long? He's dominated two levels. Other teams promote guys like this. Get him up this year, so he's ready next year.

    They literally got Ryan for a rental.

    I'd like to be blown away! I'm not sure what Jax is worth. Less than Duran I'd guess. I was just perusing the prospect lists on Fangraphs again....and I just don't know....but the Mets and Phillies and Cubs prospects intrigue me. I have little interest in the Yankees or Houston (on a quick skim) prospects. I doubt we deal with Detroit. If I'm prioritizing things, I want SP in AA or AAA, catchers at almost any level, and I guess CF? Mostly I want to gamble on upside, not floor. I'm not interested in high floor, low ceiling guys. I have many thoughts on the Twins' prospects and their positions and levels, but I need a break from posting. Have a great night everyone.

    I agree with a lot of this! But I'm not sure articles here reflect how the Twins feel. I have no idea if they are looking in the mirror. I sure hope they are.
  12. Mike Sixel
    So many pitcher injuries. Everyone should be happy with Paddock. I'm done typing about the FO and Baldelli, that horse is dust.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I mean, that was clear before, but yes.
  14. Mike Sixel
    And people keep saying dealing him means they can't compete the next two years and should just blow it up. One RP isn't the make or break for any team, especially this one.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Don't need a closer if you can't score runs.....but I'd be in no hurry to deal him. Must get blown out of the water, and then some.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Very disappointing indeed. Something is wrong with this development staff for sure.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I was responding to a post that said Vazquez brought value. I didn't think I should rip every player in that post, but, ya, I've called for the Fo to be fired because the lineup isn't good. But typing that every post seems rude.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Vazquez is one of the worst hitters in baseball. He's not brought value at all. 291 hitters have at least 170 at bats. Three are worse than Vazquez. His defense this year is below average for a catcher.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Increasing his trade value! He's likely here to stay with Festa injured.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I guess Lewis had nothing to do with his home run. Totally the pitcher's fault.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I mean, he didn't do that on purpose.... Stuff happens.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He's the best or second best player in baseball..... I'm going with it was ohtani's fault. Seriously.
  23. Mike Sixel
    At some point, you need to let them pitch. This season is over, let them pitch and learn.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm not suggesting either be dealt now ... I'm suggesting they've successfully traded in the past, so saying they can't is not logical. They gave up nothing for Ryan, and you are questioning that deal? Speechless. Truly.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm amused people think it's the pitcher's fault ohtani hit a home run......
