    People keep typing that: a: who is trading away top end pitching under control for more than half a year b: they couldn't manage to make one trade this off season despite having the worst SP in baseball and plenty of MIF depth.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I didn't read that he thought he was that YET....but maybe we just read it differently.

    Jose Berrios 12:02 Thanks for chatting. How good a SP am I next year and beyond? Eno Sarris 12:02 I'm a fan! I'd call him a top 30/40 type http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eno-sarris-baseball-chat-62917/

    there is a longish article about Price's issues on Fangraphs today, if anyone wants to see what the Twins might see....nice intro, btw.

    game theory. Other teams would assume the same thing. Or at least that's how I'd play it if Melo was a decent, but not great, prospect. And agreed, it's probably not good that he was DFAd, in terms of what they think of his long term odds.
  6. Mike Sixel
    International signings pepper the top prospects lists for every team, and across MLB. Getting this part right is more important than some seem to believe (right, or lucky, if you assume you can't scout a 16 yo, which I disagree with).
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, if this is a long term thing, not good. An injury? Not good. An aberration? Yay!

    I find it super depressing that so many think we shouldn't discuss moves the Twins make.....or ever question a move. What, exactly, is the point of this site? edit: and, heck, I didn't even say it was a bad move. I said I didn't understand it.

    Leadership

    congrats, good luck with everything. I know it's a relief to you to be mortgage free almost. It was a bad day yesterday, but a very good day today for the stocks we both like....
  11. Mike Sixel
    failing the marshmallow test for sure.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I want to be clear, I'm joking mostly. If he's hurt, he should be on the DL. Players should protect themselves from long term injury.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I had a reasonably clever response, but decided it was mean. So, I'll go with yes, or no, maybe so.
  14. Mike Sixel
    "sore ribs" wow. I do like they are using the DL this way, but wow.
  15. Mike Sixel
    rib soreness.
  16. Mike Sixel
    that shocked me also. 2nd year of pitching, and a "2nd round pick". Unreal.
  17. Mike Sixel
    sorry, missed they put him on the DL with a phantom injury. Can't wait until he comes back.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    so it isn't about leadership, then, apparently.
  19. Mike Sixel
    the cubs can sign Jon Lester, you counting on the Twins doing that? Theo also has a history of making trades, this FO had 1 job this off season, and demand or not, could not trade Brian Dozier. so, I'll wait and see what they do before I trust them. And, their choices for the bullpen aren't inspiring me much.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I tweeted him to ask what "luxury fourth outfielder" meant. not counting on a reply.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Best year? Wow, that's tough. Most of them have been great, why compare?

    meant to put this here..... today" Zack Granite, CF, Minnesota (Profile) Level: Triple-AAge: 24 Org Rank: 12 Top 100: NR Line: 3-for-5 Notes Granite missed April with an oblique strain. He’s been in Rochester since May 4th and has decimated the International League, hitting .371/.423/.516 in 54 games. Scouts don’t expect him to do that much damage with the bat in the majors, as Granite really only generates power when he’s able to drop the bat head and golf something down the right-field line. Otherwise, he’s slashing grounders and hitting little flares over the heads of infielders and sprinting to first with his plus-plus speed. He does have some bat control and is hard to strike out, so there’s a chance he puts the ball in play enough to be some kind of everyday player. At the very least, he looks like a luxury fourth outfielder. http://www.fangraphs...pect-notes-628/

    Trying to figure out how to get to Trillium while I am there, as the taproom is 40 minutes, give or take, from where my son is temporarily living....looks like Tree House is out of the plans for sure, alas.
