    Or they shouldn't go half in.....that was, imo, the problem. They made one tiny move, when 2-3 were needed. Going half in doesn't usually help all that much. IMO, you can't look at trades in a vacuum, but have to look at the whole context. IMO, in context, it was a bad trade.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Pretty loaded in the system.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's certainly possible. There are always reasons for individual decisions, but eventually it is a pattern.

    CR is hardly aggressive either, and why can't he play OF at CR to start?
  5. Mike Sixel
    It amazes me how many places I go, and they tell me I need to turn on/install flash. It is 2017, right?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Maybe that's part of the problem....not enough good players.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Gonsalves and others should be in the rotation by 2018. Heck, I'd argue he should be here in July/August, getting acclimated, so he's more ready next year. They aren't competing with Santana, if none of the AA pitchers are here and helping next year either...

    Pretty much this, which is sad. So few veterans with value, they can't sell. So many holes, they can't buy. I see lots of sitting around doing nothing much that matters also.

    If a white guy, legally carry a gun, had notified an officer he had one (as required): a: the cop never would have shot him b: if he had, the right wing 2nd amendment types would be all over this. Unsurprisingly, they are not, because the victim was black. Every single one of my minority friends has stories about being treated very differently by cops than I ever have been.

    How do I pick stocks? Hmmmm... Motley Fool, friends, even my sons....I listen to those three sources. It's funny, I have a BBA in finance, and and MBA in finance, and I don't think I've looked at a BS or IS one time when making a decision. Now, my goals and approach are maybe different than many. I am trying to grow thru risk. I have a very high tolerance for risk, but if it goes bad, I bail and move on (DDD and Whole Foods are good examples....even with the bump I would not have made much/any money). I have some simple rules: Invest in companies you have a decent understanding in Have some companies that have moats (Amazon and Shopfiy, for example) Take chances on companies that the market doesn't understand (Tesla) but are really aiming 5-10 years out. It does help I have lots of stock from my employer, so I can be very risky elsewhere.

    they couldn't deal Dozier with 2 years on his deal, coming off a career year. What will they get for him this time? I doubt very much this FO deals multiple prospects for 1 player. I see the opposite in them, trying to get more prospects. As for any FA, he'll be much worse than any of the three you list above, imo. Seems very unlikely they'll sign one of the 2-3 decent/good ones that will be there.
  12. Mike Sixel
    He can only face the teams he faces. He doesn't get to choose. Odds Turley, Tepesch, or others the Twins have rolled out would have done that?
  13. Mike Sixel
    What pitchers? Bad pickups from the DFA pile? Good luck. This FO seems even more conservative. The number one pick, in the lowest level possible. A 22 year old, almost 23, going below A ball. Virtually no promotions of prospects. What pitchers are going too learn to pitch?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Acquiring a guy with more than two years on his deal isn't going for it this year, imo. But I agree with the rest of this.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Twins daily posters.... Alexa, tell me a joke Alexa.... Have you seen those pitchers?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Levine.... Alexa, buy starting pitching Alexa.... Sorry, that is on back order, should I put it in your cart?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Falvey... Alexa, buy pitching Alexa...I have a sale on old relief pitchers....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Need some humor.... As read on the internet.... Bezos.... Alexa, buy food at whole foods Alexa... Buying whole foods
  19. Mike Sixel
    Bullpen.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Can't see the play, but that's one more reason I don't trust Rosario long term, he seems to make bad decisions too often
  21. Mike Sixel
    There aren't many good options for starters. And they choose this bullpen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He can't do that against people close to his age? Really?
  23. Mike Sixel
    That's what happens when you decide to sign 100 year old free agents, and to trust Hughes. But, hey, we should completely trust them.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Can't wait to read how well he pitched again. Sigh.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's important 22 year olds​ from top conferences play against teenagers.... I would like to thank Cleveland for giving turley a free out....
