    of course teams would rather have a 6 WAR player than a 3 WAR player......but the Twins aren't going to win the bidding for a 6 WAR FA.

    I hate it when humans get hurt in our entertainments....hate it.

    and other teams don't have a similar situation (other than a handful of great teams)? As Bob pointed out on thread recently, you can't take out one half of this equation, as if the other sides of blow outs didn't matter as much as the bad side did/does. As for your last sentence, the mods asked it to stop, right?

    see, I saw him say "their" and thought he was talking about the system, not one person.

    John: I realize its sss but Royce Lewis is posting huge numbers in rookie ball, any reason not to move him to Cedar Rapids (low-A)? Keith Law: You’re proposing a two-level jump for an 18-yo after 13 games. I don’t agree with that. Chris: I am guessing Royce Lewis is SSS but I am guessing he is top 75? Could you see him top 50 at years end? Keith Law: Probably top 75, based on draft ranking. Still playing short, and I don’t believe he can stay there. (If I thought he had even a 50/50 shot at staying at short, he’d have been a top 50 prospect.)

    among players KLAW considered for his top 50, but missed: Fernando Romero

    They have 2-4 years to build up depth behind those guys before they are where the Twins are now...
  8. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to a 80-85 TWins team that is good at hitting, but bad at pitching?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, next off season he has 1/2 year less control. And, he's been good again this year. It really depends on the next week or so. They win a lot, keep him. They lose a lot, trade him. They "meh" a lot, um, I probably trade him, but will not villify them if they don't* *unless we learn of an incredible package, of course, which I doubt.

    Fair. I hated the bullpen moves then, hate them even more now that all the young guys are either hurt, or not given a chance yet. I don't have enough data to figure out how to fix the SP, but it should not surprise anyone it was bad again this year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure that plan backs up Dozier and the vets all that much either, though.
  12. Mike Sixel
    The WS are less than 2 years into their attempt to rebuild, they seem to have made some strong progress by committing to one direction, and executing to that strategy. Add 1-3 really good drafts, any FA signings, and any international market moves, and they seem to be doing a solid job so far with this strategy. The Twins are supposedly in year 4-5 of the rebuild, I'd expect them to be ahead.
  13. Mike Sixel
    the comparison of their bWAR isn't any better for ESan....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Almost every FA pitcher will be entering the decline phase during their FA contract. It's part of the price of getting really good FAs for more than 2-3 months in a trade.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I have said repeatedly it is too early to make any kind of final judgement, but to say (as many here have that) they needed to see the bullpen and SP in action before knowing additions needed to be made seems funny to me. Everyone in baseball and baseball fandom knew this pitching staff was bad and thin. And, we can literally only judge them on what they do. so far, it's hard to love most of their moves, is that not fair?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think it was "amount" there....so 1 isn't a lot of amount. And I'd agree with that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    the system is deep in guys w/o high ceilings, people have been typing that for some time. Has that really changed? I don't see it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    KC built a GREAT bullpen. How's that going here, with Breslow and Belisle being the only outside adds to one of the worst bullpens in baseball?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tough pill to swallow, but they have depth, they are young, and they have control of Quintana. Much better move than a ST rental, imo.
  20. Mike Sixel
    The Rays are in playoff contention, I don't understand why anyone thinks they are dealing Archer right now. The two situations are very, very, different.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they could, not on upside. Unless Buxton or Kepler was in the deal.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Twins couldn't match that, no way.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Quintana to the Cubs, for a LARGE hall.....so he's out. and yes, I posted this in 2 threads. Just making sure...

    I'm going to get tired of trying not to lose trades, and being "ok", and not trying to win. This is the window we have all been "promised" by various experts. If not when you have Sano and Berrios, when?
