    agreed, lots of good ones out here, but too expensive.
  2. Mike Sixel
    which wineries?
  3. Mike Sixel
    to offset no lunch, we went to a brewery and tasted beer, ate a pretzel, and got beer to go. then there was a national night out event in our woonerf (look it up, a real word), with free beer, food truck, and ice cream. Admittedly, I got brussel sprouts, but topped those off with beer and ice cream...

    I hope I even get to eat lunch today, unlike yesterday.

    TX Wine country? sounds more terrifying than MN Wine country even....
  6. Mike Sixel
    what does trading ESAN or not have to do with whether they should have signed a legit RP and/or SP?
  7. Mike Sixel
    1 signing of 1 SP and 1 legit RP......that would have been good with a lot of us, on either side of hte fence. And, that's the minimum I expect this year. "fill" is not something anyone asked for.
  8. Mike Sixel
    our disagreement on the beauty of that is probably not overcomable.....but explains why not every problem is easily solved in the world, because many of us come from different starting points...
  9. Mike Sixel
    got it. great points!
  10. Mike Sixel
    that must have been the confusing part, two TD posters agreeing so quickly!
  11. Mike Sixel
    they tried to sign a DH this off season, and failed. Why do we feel this will be "easy" to do this off season?
  12. Mike Sixel
    to be clear, I'm not saying cut Vargas from AAA....but if you won't try him out seriously this year, when will you?
  13. Mike Sixel
    given that Ryan said they weren't rebuilding, no one with teh Twins? so, if not next year, when? which next year is it, because on this site, the goal posts move back every single year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agree on most of this. Seriously, start cutting guys now. Grossman is not part of a winning future. Gimenez is not part of any future. Either call Vargas up, and let him play every day, or move on. Park is only signed for 1 more year past this year, so who cares if he gets hot or not in AAA. Granite is a fine 4th OF, since he can play defense, though I think we are judging his offense a bit fast.
  15. Mike Sixel
    good point! Then I hope they never lose again.
  16. Mike Sixel
    So go with less RPs, and shuttle them back and forth between AAA then..... Realistically? Grossman is not part of a winning roster. I'd consider DFAing him right now. He can't play defense, and his OPS is driven too much by the walk and single to be truly valuable from a DH/bad corner OF. Get rid of the chaffe....
  17. Mike Sixel
    you don't let a pitcher hit in a 1 run game. That's just bad strategy. That's also part of learning. I think you are vastly over thinking what he can learn in this situation, vs trying to win the game. And yes, in development seasons, you still make decisions to try to win.
  18. Mike Sixel
    i still don't understand why Garver is in AAA, and not MN right now. edit: well, SD right now
  19. Mike Sixel
    The most important read on the site, once again. Sigh. I hope Chattanooga falls out of the race, so they promote some players to AAA. An odd hope, but it is my hope.
  20. Mike Sixel
    couldn't disagree more. Berrios learns nothing by staying in that game. complete games are meaningless to development, and probably bad for players' arms in the long run.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope they do something this off season to help the team long term, or even short term, more than sign Castro, Gimenez, Belisle and Breslow....
  22. Mike Sixel
    You/d think at some point that people wouldn't keep putting up the strawman that anyone expected the pitching to be totally fixed, and instead talk about adding 1 SP and 1-2 legit RPs, like chief, me, and others keep typing. Is there anyone here arguing they could fix it all in 1 year? Indeed, if you can't fix it in 1 year, you'd think you would then have to make incremental progress every year. What progress did the Twins make for 2018 this last off season?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they are "tanking" at all. They still have nearly every veteran that isn't nailed down on the roster. There is no evidence of tanking.
  24. Mike Sixel
    probably don't want to live here either....
