    "find some help" meaning what? How much? At what price? Sure, trade off prospects the FO doesn't believe in. NP. Start trading off legit pieces for the small chance you "do something special"? Um, that's different.

    Nicely played, sir, nicely played.

    Has any player publicly said "we need to rebuild", ever? Are players the best judges of how to run a team? I mean, I get it, and I sympathize......but I trust the FO a bit more than a player on this topic. Heck, I probably trust a decent number of fans more than a player on this particular topic. do people really think this team has a chance to "do something special"? To me, they'd need to add: 1 SP as good as Santana or better 2 RP as good as Rogers or whomever you want to call "really, really, really good" a DH a SS that can hit (whether that is Polanco or Escobar producing, or getting one) then, maybe, you can really believe. But, that's a tall order. And, it might not work still. How much are you willing to pay to do this, given that there are this many questions, and questions about Mejia and Berrios and Santana being good or not (and Dozier and Santana being gone in 1-2 years)? That's why Falvine make so much money.....hard questions.

    What's bad? bottom third? Below median? Last among LFers? Because he's around the bottom third, iirc, on most defensive measures this year. While they aren't perfect, as a relative measure, they are helpful to fans who don't watch every play of every game, so can't really compare players all that well. edit to add: I don't think he's as bad as he's been this year, true talent wise, btw. But I also don't think he's in the top third.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Impossible! For years we were told the Twins were bad because you just can't get talent past the top few picks. Of course, now we are told we can't be mad if those top picks fail, because top picks fail a lot, so there's that....

    42. who knew this was the question!
  7. Mike Sixel
    No, the blood is all over the hands of the murderers. You have exactly zero evidence to support your claims. None. So, no thanks, I won't give it a rest.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Really? Which Republican (or Dem) has been removed from office for such words, exactly?
  9. Mike Sixel
    you are saying people read Dayton's comments in TX, and then decided to kill people? That's your contention? you are denying that race and police relations are bad? That there might be some bias in their actions?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Amen.
  11. Mike Sixel
    If you keep him, you don't sign someone to replace him, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    the issue with Polanco is he's hitting like Buxton, but fielding like Dozier.....that's not a good combination. He'll never be an ELITE fielder, so he needs to hit. I say keep sending him out there this year, and see what happens.
  13. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to the stress of being wrong in keeping him and him being bad? Which is the more likely outcome, that's how the FO should act, based on their projections of the future, not out of fear or stress.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Remember when people disagreed with us that Rogers should be up and in the bullpen, because he MIGHT be a starter some day? good times, just last year.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    with a totally similar bullpen!
  16. Mike Sixel
    Like? They passed/or lost the bidding on Quintana. I doubt Archer is actually available.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd like Garver up soon. You don't really learn much in September. I'd like him to the backup next year, so I'd like him to get ready for that this year. I doubt it happens before Sept, barring an injury. Gordon's name is all over the place, in AA, and there are still people who don't think he's a good prospect. Hurts my brain.
  18. Mike Sixel
    both of those guys were starters before TJ. I think that's the big delta.
  19. Mike Sixel
    We don't really now, but given that the Shannon Stewart trade is the one big in season trade made during that time, it might not be a one sided thing that it didn't happen.
  20. Mike Sixel
    No idea. But, you were the one saying see how his recovery is during the off season, at least I read it that way. I hope they plan on no role, and replace him.
  21. Mike Sixel
    As long as you are correct, and having him around does not mean they don't actively replace him during the off season, fine. But I'm not sure any org would do that. I hope to be wrong on every count on this, and that he somehow becomes good again.
  22. Mike Sixel
    are we talking past each other? maybe. I'll try more details: 1. I am arguing Hughes could be cut now. 2. I believe he won't show he's good this year, meaning you need to make a decision during the off season. 3. If you plan to give him a chance next year, then you aren't going to sign a pitcher to replace him, because you are giving him a chance. Teams don't say "hey, 26MM man, you are on the roster, but we are also signing ANOTHER 15MM man to maybe replace you. 4. Since I don't think you can decide this year, and if you wait until the off season is over to decide, you are essentially keeping him, I think you are giving up a roster spot, again.
  23. Mike Sixel
    if you wait for to see how the off season goes, you aren't actively replacing him in the off season, even if he's bad the rest of this year? I can almost see keeping him this year, almost. but if he's bad, if you keep him, you aren't signing/trading to replace him.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I think he said in an interview that TB and Oak were still MLB's top priority.
  25. Mike Sixel
    if he's on the roster, he's on the roster. And if he's on the roster, you aren't replacing him. so, I'm not sure which side you are on, now.
