    you realize that's what people typed weeks ago about all the RPs, right? Almost word for word....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Dozier is a FA in 1.5 years, and is approaching the wrong side of his aging curve, most probably. Are you going to re-sign him?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why would it be better to give up your starting MIF (gordon or Polanco) for the next 5-8 years for a pitcher, than 2 pitching prospects? Palka has no trade value, none.

    Breslow, Belisle, Tepesch, Wilk, Haley, Rucinski, Heston, et. al. (and leaving Berrios down, saying he wasn't ready, then he was 1 start later....).....indicate it is early to assess the FO and their ability, imo. three years....need at least three years.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, I also believe in wright. If I didn't, the thought process would be different.

    Sold all my disney today (I think I got it all, I have 4 accounts....). Bought some Shopify and am going to put some into preferred stock in a winery.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I agree that was the plan, but it hasn't worked. At some point, you move on from your plan (also, that Chaargois, Burdi, Jay would be ready hasn't worked).

    it's not about 1 guy, it's a pattern.....a pattern that is hard to understand. Sub out gonsalves, and put in any RP pretty much. the pattern is clear, they aren't giving any current minor leaguer that is a legit prospect a promotion or chance in MN, despite having no starters in AAA, and few good bullpen options in MN. Waiting for the minor league all star break is pretty arbitrary, when you are hanging onto first place by your nails, imo.

    The Average Sports Fan 9:16 In hindsight, do you think the Twins are glad they turned down De Leon for Dozier? Jeff Sullivan 9:16 In hindsight, yeah, for sure. The Twins are in first place and De Leon is on the minor-league DL But, of course, that's not the end of either story Big Tuna 9:33 Podhorzer had suggested that he's skeptical about Berrios because he's only getting SwStk with his fastball. What's your view on Berrios on what type of arm he ends up as? Jeff Sullivan 9:34 I think he's going to make it. Still needs a better changeup if he wants to approach the level of an ace, but I like his fastball/breaking ball combination today. At his very, very best, he'll look like Jose Fernandez. He won't reach that level very often, though http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-61617/

    why the heck would anyone trade for Breslow or Belisle? If that is what they are waiting for, um, good luck.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Too bad. Good luck sir.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Well, it wasn't 2 weeks 4 weeks ago. And, if it is only 2 weeks, what are we expecting them to learn in that time? Remember when Berrios wasn't ready, and then he made 1 more start, and all of a sudden he was? That seems, unlikely.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ya, totally backward from previous years! I'm boggled, actually.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree, he should go to AAA. I just don't see what 2 more starts in AA does, what does that do? I'm genuinely curious about that.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's very important that a 22 yo college player go to Elizabethton. Man, I hope you are wrong.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Promoting 1 guy means you have to reorganize your minor league system? that's a new one.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure we agree on Rosario, but we'll see.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm fascinated that both of them got over slot deals, frankly. Fascinated.
  19. Mike Sixel
    people have been typing that for weeks. And yet, we don't. Belisle and Breslow should not be on a contending team's roster, imo.

    With those three going to FtM, Rooker has to start at least there, right? edit: or, do you mean to their complex, and not the team?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Loved that countdown!
  24. Mike Sixel
    Heh, would have been nice to buy Whole Foods yesterday! But, they aren't doing well. I'm not sure I do this if I'm Amazon. I'm very curious about this move. I understand they want to be more vertical, and physically present, but I have my doubts about this.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Berrios, and not close. Not even a little close for me.
