    Given what other teams gave up for unproven draft pick QBs, we'll just disagree that was an overpay...but your point is valid. If the Twins won't trade for or sign legit SP, this team is doomed to mediocrity.
  2. Mike Sixel
    people are awfully down on De Leon pretty fast. His numbers in AAA dwarf what any AA pitcher the Twins have is doing.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Good FA pitchers will get around 14-16 per year, minimum, this off season. More like 20MM per year if they are as good as him. Maybe more.
  4. Mike Sixel
    has it been 2 weeks yet? Is Rooker promoted?
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'll bet BIG money Buxton doesn't. Dave's never believed in Buxton.....and not sure how the projection systems feel right now.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'll take that bet right now. He's a legit SS starter next year, and for the next 5-10. You, sir, are very incorrect about Gordon's time table.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They couldn't deal Dozier the entire off season. So, why could they now?
  8. Mike Sixel
    how do you propose they get pitching next year, or the year after, if not in trades?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but it has to be for a controllable pitcher. And no, Gordon alone isn't enough to get that.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Lewis will not be a SS. Lewis will not be a SS. Lewis will not be a SS. As for Gordon, you need to get a legit starter controlled for at least three more years, or I am not interested. He will be at least a league average SS for s long time.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I took it to mean that even though he isn't good, he would still be a good option here, due to lack of activity. Maybe I read it wrong.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Every minor league player, almost, has a less than 50 percent chance to be an impact player...
  13. Mike Sixel
    No place did I say don't try. Didn't even imply that. Sigh
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, saying any player is a bust is not necessarily a rip on the Twins. But many people have a hard time with that.
  15. Mike Sixel
    good point!

    FWIW: Tye: Would someone like Stroman, Gray, or Archer be a reasonable get for the Twins? Keith Law: It makes absolutely no sense for the Twins to trade prospects for major-league help right now.

    The roster is filled with nice players, but it takes elite players (and lots of nice players) to be champions. It's hard to see any elite players other than Sano and maybe Berrios right now. It's very nice to have no gaping holes, but that's not enough, most likely, to win in the playoffs. Buxton could be elite if he hits close to league average. And learns how to steal more/more efficiently.

    Benjamin: What would you say is Royce Lewis’ ceiling? Keith Law: A 60 overall player as a CF – a sometime All-Star who adds value on defense, with his bat, and especially on the bases. Benjamin: What is Brent Rooker’s potential? Keith Law: I think there’s a low probability of him hitting enough high-level pitching to be a regular, but that potential is there – he could be a regular at 1b/dh. The swing itself is fine and he’s strong as heck. Jake: Buxton seems to have figured some things out. Swing looks shorter, eliminating some holes. Have you seen the changes and do you think they are sustainable? Keith Law: I do think so – better swing decisions, better contact in the zone. Tye: Would someone like Stroman, Gray, or Archer be a reasonable get for the Twins? Keith Law: It makes absolutely no sense for the Twins to trade prospects for major-league help right now. Tye: Has Zack Granite changed his prospect status from fringe prospect to an actual one with his play this season? Keith Law: No. Jake: No chance for R. Lewis to stay at short? Nick Gordon? Keith Law: Gordon is a true SS. Lewis has no chance IMO.

    Or, it's the ASB, and Meyer just pitched, and they wanted a hitter or RP up right before and after the break? That's what I think the Twins did with Granite.....they sent down a guy that just pitched, and called up a player that could be useful. Let's see what happens after the ASB to see if this is a send down, or a roster use move.

    I don't see much of anything interesting happening in terms of trades this season. Nothing interesting happened in FA or trades in the offseason, and I don't know what is really all that different now. They are about 5 games ahead of what most here projected they'd be, that's in the margin of error for sure. The hitters and pitchers have all been about what you'd expect, except maybe Dozier is worse and Kintzler and ESan a bit better. I'm not sure what's different now, than 4 months ago that would indicate movement is afoot.
  21. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, this FO added no SP to the worst rotation in baseball, thru trade or FA. And, in the bullpen, they added two guys over 35 that have been bad. I think it's ok to question this FO so far. You may not agree.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The Rangers will try to keep Darvish (and others) around, because they want to pursue Otani, and want the best team they can have, to encourage him (that's what I've read on several internet articles recently).
  23. Mike Sixel
    If there are 3 good FA starters, what are the odds the Twins sign one, over the other 29 teams? Probably pretty low, I'd think.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Like all freedom, gay marriage is inevitable. Other than that, I don't see any trends other than denyig basic science in the last nine years.

    Very legit questions
