    There was no move that could be made? None could be made? There was zero player they could have traded for? Like, Leake for example? I didn't actually criticize them for not trading for Verlander, not even one word there was only about that. Was it? edit: And you know with certainty they could not trade for Verlander, you know that how?

    Congrats to Goodrum! Exciting moment for him for sure. And also to the others, even if they've already had their debut. I don't care about Rochester's results, I care about what is 100% best for the Twins. Just once I want to hear them say that.

    Well, the Twins did nothing. Shocker. Real. Shocker.

    assuming everyone is healthy, and producing, and they are winning. Like, you know, when we all thought M&M would stay healthy and good?
  5. Mike Sixel
    so, just a bit younger than you then?

    which has nothing to do with this $%@&%$& that his weight is impeding his recovery that seems to get repeated.

    Pretty good stats for a guy not ranked high! that said, let me check FG rankings, brb.... Grayson Long, RHP, 1.1 KATOH+ – Long was mostly 89-93 in the 2016 Fall League, where he was picking up innings after missing several months due to injury. I’ve seen him 88-90 this spring with the usual fringe cutter/slider and changeup combo. He has a big, strong-looking, inning-eater body. Scouts are naturally apprehensive about pegging him as such, though, in light of last year’s injury woes. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/top-14-prospects-los-angeles-angels/

    Well, Upton was going to opt out, so that's a bit different than Verlander or others.... why not trade him for a flyer, and save money? I'm surprised more teams don't just cut FA to be types, like Pittsburgh did this week.
  9. Mike Sixel
    That's what is being reported, yes. He said he would opt out. edit: he did not promise the Angels he would not opt out for them, it is reported.

    #9 prospect in the system, so like 100th for the Twins, and cash or PTBNL.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Number 9 prospect, and either a player to be named, or cash.....so nothing. Just a salary dump.
  12. Mike Sixel
    There is a whole thread dedicated to signing him to an extension!

    You spit beer on your computer screen?

    Today is national trail mix day. I love a good trail mix. the next food related one I like is national beer lovers' day on Sept 7. I like to think of this as celebrating people that love beer, but I doubt that's how it works....it is also salami day that way. Even as I eat less meat, still love salami!

    agreed, sometimes things are coincidence, and sometimes they aren't. But this is likely THE most common fallacy, I'd think....
  16. Mike Sixel
    that would be most unfortunate and sadness inducing.
  17. Mike Sixel
    because they don't want to.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Definitely less thrilled as the year has gone on. I'm not worried about the splits yet, but the overall results are disappointing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm glad Garver is up and having success. So, SSS, he's a great catcher, right?

    fair, but $4MM just isn't that much in 2018 baseball salaries, IMO.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Goodrum strikes me as DanSan, someone they want to succeed, but isn't super likely, based on history. Why would they get rid of Escobar, since we know he can play 2B, SS, 3B and sort of hit at the MLB level? I just don't get it.
  23. Mike Sixel
    4.25 would give him around the 35th lowest ERA in the game.....among qualifiers. That seems a bit lofty to me...
  24. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't be shocked either way. I've been a huge supporter, until this year. I have serious doubts, but it's all about numbers (salary and other SP options) at this point. If he's mediocre to good the rest of the way, he's back no doubt, imo. If he reverts to what he's been more often than not, I don't know what they'll do.

    Good luck to Goodrum and Turley. I hope they try Turley as a RP.....
