    this.

    I'd argue you could have less RPs on the 25 man roster.....I mean, you can send them back and forth to AAA if they get in danger of over use. That seems kind of obvious to me. OTOH, I'm not ready to give up on Polanco yet, but Chief is right, he hasn't been AWESOME much, has he?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I say sell for the sake of selling.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Garver should have been up, instead of 419 RPs. I said this before the series started, and feel it still now. You need PH with positional flexibility in NL games. I fail to see how the occasional 5 out save is too much to ask.
  5. Mike Sixel
    You realize he's below median as a 1B, and you want to spend legit RP money on him, and not a RP? No way. Or even one of the bounce back SP? No way.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Trading just for Garcia shows they are in it to win it? That's one low bar. Did people say that?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Hard to argue, frankly. And, the FO has not exactly shown a love of the current prospects. Then again, they signed Breslow and Belisle as FAs and took a hard pass on any FA that cost actual money.
  8. Mike Sixel
    The issue for me, this year, is that doesn't seem to be the plan, but reluctantly. Breslow was on this roster at least a month too long, for example. And now instead of trying young starters, we have Colon in the rotation. I'd say these guys can be good: Kintzler Rodgers Duffey (less use please) Hildenberger I'd say these guys have a chance: Buesnitz Turley (I'd convert him now, to get him ready for next year) Curtiss I'd say these guys have a lesser chance: about 5-10 names So, if they keep Kintzler, and sign one FA RP, I'm good with internal options. But then, I'd be trying internal options now more, by rotating them thru MN and AAA and seeing who sticks. To answer your question, I think it can be a good, not great, bullpen internally, with one legit RP add. I wouldn't bet it is great, but I'd bet it is median or so.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Well, there is no Lester available, and the Twins aren't playing in that pool, but yes, the CUBS are good at this....
  10. Mike Sixel
    In the last 20 years? I mean, sure, they could add a FA starter and a DH and a RP, but have people looked at the list of FA SP?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Do teams generally add "a few" free agents in 1 year that make a difference? I can't think of it working that well, but I admit not to researching.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, hence my question......
  13. Mike Sixel
    I guess I misunderstood, it seemed like your argument was that lists were inherently bad because they were sometimes wrong, not that a ranking or 10 were wrong. Apologies.
  14. Mike Sixel
    much like the "we can't trade X" because, wait for it, they'll be really good next year, for the last three years, posts. no one is wishing for the Twins to be bad.
  15. Mike Sixel
    UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO blow him away with a $12-15 two-year offer. ? that's hardly blowing him away, unless you mean 12MM per year.
  16. Mike Sixel
    so, don't read prospect lists? take them with a grain of salt? admit they aren't perfect? What's your argument?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I may have jumped the gun. journeyman?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd trade ESan for Stewart straight up right now. I don't think the Dodgers do that deal.
  19. Mike Sixel
    fair. No, I'm not breaking any news here.....I'm not connected at all.
  20. Mike Sixel
    yes, for sure.
  21. Mike Sixel
    How would I know? I was saying what I'd try to do. I think teams know almost to the dollar what Kintzler is likely to get this off season, as does his agent. It's certainly possible he waits, it's also possible they sign him. If I was teh GM, I'd be trying to sign him, unless blown away.
  22. Mike Sixel
    btw, I too would extend Kintzler, unless blown away with an offer.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Refusing to trade veterans is how teams extend mediocrity. Are we even confident ESan will be good next year? What are his numbers since Mid-May?
  24. Mike Sixel
    He's been a professional player for 7 years. How long does it take? Where to throw the ball is taught in weeks to teenagers.
  25. Mike Sixel
    For some reason I thought there were three levels, but if that's it, I knew that. Thanks.
