    good answer! thanks, makes sense.
  2. Mike Sixel
    what does that even mean? isn't getting outs or hits how you win?
  3. Mike Sixel
    with an ocean and close mountains....
  4. Mike Sixel
    that's a totally different argument, one I am not opposed to. but the 40 man "squeeze"? not a real issue imo.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, my point is maybe slightly different. I think he's the next SP up. They don't need that for several days....so I'd have called up a RP or hitter or whatever, until you need a SP. then send that guy or someone else down. As for the next SP in line, I anticipate Gee gets 2 starts, and then someone else gets starts after he's not all that good.
  6. Mike Sixel
    there has to be a better bar, there has to be.
  7. Mike Sixel
    i think I've laughed at that first line like 5 times now! thanks,
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I understand calling up Gee before you need him...
  9. Mike Sixel
    agreed, not easy. And, hard to make trades in their situation. The list isn't awesome this year either, should they sit out again? Or, should they outbid the big clubs for the 2-3 good ones?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I expect him sometime next year, not sure when though.

    This is more generic, but there are links to the Twins' new prospects, and you can get some idea of relative value: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/ranking-the-prospects-traded-during-deadline-season/ this one uses KATOH: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/projecting-all-of-the-prospects-traded-at-the-deadline/

    add 1 legit SP and 1-2 legit RPs....no one said do the impossible, chief and others are asking why not even do that, to the worst pitching the league? Seriously. He's not saying any such thing you are asking.
  13. Mike Sixel
    so what? And really, adding 1-2 RP that weren't named Breslow would have been nice. I think almost every poster said add 1-2 legit RPs, even those of us that want young guys to get a chance.

    jda 1:49 Brusdar Graterol's only tool to rival his fastball is an 80-grade name. He just was promoted to Elizabethtown. How excited should we be about this kid? I know he doesn't belong in the Michel Baez tier of pop-up guys but is he close to a 45 for you despite the enormous risk/distance? Eric A Longenhagen 1:50 Yes. Mid-90s, strong, athletic build. TKDC 1:31 Who did a better job trading Garcia, the Braves or the Twins? Eric A Longenhagen 1:31 I like Huascar. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/fangraphs-has-acquired-eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-for-cash/

    Hopefully y'all bought SHOP.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd call up Buxton and a RP or Garver. Then, when they need their 5th SP in a couple days, send someone down, probably a RP.
  18. Mike Sixel
    because he can't get MILB out, that's why not....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Can he remember that far back?
  20. Mike Sixel
    I think if you ask Alexa for volume 11, you do get good music! or at least louder music.
  21. Mike Sixel
    No, they don't have a lot of tough 40 man decisions. I just don't buy that for one minute. Almost no player of value has been found in the rule V draft since MLB changed the rules. They lost at least 5 guys on the 25 man roster right now, and there are some easy choices to drop off the 40 man. Not even close to hard decisions.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm....I assume that means you want to kill me. Not sure how I should answer this question...
  23. Mike Sixel
    ah, maybe it was 3rd. Either way, not ideal imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Sonny Gray returned 3 top 100 players on Fangraphs list.....and yet people keep typing that Gray was stolen.....Mateo is OPSing over .900 in AA, and will be a starting SS or CF (think what we want Lewis to be, basically), and if one of hte others recovers, that's a good trade. I'm sympathetic to Dave's overall point, and that is that the FO needs to decide where it is, and act that way. It's certainly possible they are doing that, but it's hard to blame fans who have watched this team go half way for decades being annoyed when it appears that might be happening still/again. But like Nick, I don't think that happened here. For some reason, no one values Dozier, so trading him appears not to make sense right now. Santana? We don't know what they were offered, or what their off season plan is. If they don't add a legit SP this off season, they should trade Santana. Either try to win, or don't. So, while sympathetic to Dave's feelings, I am not yet ready to judge this FO.

    finally found someplace truly giving 110%!
