    Not sure, really. But there must be some moderates left who look at this party and wonder why they are still in it. But maybe not, maybe people have identity tied up in party a lot...

    every team gets to draft. Are you saying this draft was so awesome that the old FO could not have pulled it off, or that you couldn't? And, um, no one is rating this draft like the 2012 draft for the Astros. So you must know something others don't.

    I don't know, but the Democratic unity and fight against this has also been under reported, imo. Not sure why a few Senators haven's switched parties, actually. The modern Democrats are more conservative than 80s MN Republicans.

    Or, no one has typed "future All Star", and he's 26 with an OPS of .900 in AAA, right handed, and was a bat first draft pick who they hoped could learn to catch who can offer value as a PH, C, potential platoon partner for Mauer, and if needed, can play in the OF in a situation where for some reason he's needed.

    hahahaha. Jason 9:50 A ton of names are being floated around at the deadline, but give me a name who could be a surprise move? Jeff Sullivan 9:50 Don't count on it, but it would be really, really, really interesting if the Twins decided to sell Byron Buxton Can't imagine where that market value is Owen 9:56 Has a MLB level player been acquired in season and then traded without appearing in a game, as is possible w Jaime Garcia? Jeff Sullivan 9:56 I'm having a lot of trouble thinking of any precedent 9:57 The 2002 Expos got Cliff Floyd on July 11, and then traded him on July 30, after falling further out of the race. But even there, Floyd played something like 15 games with Montreal

    and that doesn't take into account defense....
  7. Mike Sixel
    fair, I thought he had more innings than that in LF.
  8. Mike Sixel
    ? I was acknowledging I didn't know I was getting into an argument you were having with someone else? Now I literally have no idea what you are saying.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I knew I counted that wrong! I missed that part, I guess, that someone was saying he was ready to be a starter right now.
  10. Mike Sixel
    btw, the Rockies and Nationals both need a catcher.....I say call them about Gimenez.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I understand the question. Yes, Castro maybe helps the pitching in the medium term. That's it, right? That's the one move made to improve the pitching. I mentioned Gimenez because earlier someone posted that the Twins signed two catchers to help the pitching long term....

    I've never understood the appeal of food you don't want to chew and really savor for a few seconds.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm going with mostly dead, not dead.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Is anyone saying anything other than high end back up, PH, platoon partner? I guess, maybe, but that player has legit value, moreso than a 14th pitcher.
  15. Mike Sixel
    That's rational and fair.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ya, he's only 26 with a 900 OPS in AAA. Gotta slow it down.
  17. Mike Sixel
    My assumption is that this is not the only move they have to make to contend next year. 1-3 FA need to be signed, promotions need to happen, and maybe other trades need to happen. I'm not as convinced as some others that ESan is going to be good next year, and I'd guess if the Yankees are not offering a top prospect, neither are they.
  18. Mike Sixel
    does any team win 70% of their September games? And, they have to do that in August also. It's my world view to be realistic, not "as darkly as possible", but hey, go for it.
  19. Mike Sixel
    There were no FAs, SP or RP? There were no other trades that could be made? They were literally just stuck with this pitching staff? What is different this off season?

  21. Mike Sixel
    Why do they have to help next year? Are you sure that's what they are looking for?
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's their job to improve the team. They didn't. No one on this board asked or instant gratification, we asked for progress. What progress has been made? The draft doesn't count, imo, as every team gets to draft players every year.....so, what have they done? Because, lots of people here are saying they've done stuff to make the pitching better long term, and I don't see it. I'm asking those people, what have they done to make the pitching staff better long term.
  23. Mike Sixel
    No one asked for instant gratification. Dave and I are wondering what they've done for the long term health of the pitching. Gimenez isn't helping with the long term, maybe Castro, but he has at most 2 more years of starting. They added which long term assets as pitchers that will help in the next 2 years or so?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Garver should be up and playing 1B, LF, C, DH, PH right now, I'm with you on that Seth. I think there will be 1-2 trades, mostly likely Gimenez (in August?), Belisle (sneaky good since the start of the year), Garcia.
  25. Mike Sixel
    just curious, what are the odds they win 60-70% of their games the rest of the way? Because that's what they need to do to get to 86-87 wins.
