    and they trade a lot more successfully....
  2. Mike Sixel
    We agree on that last part for sure. Keeping Santana alone doesn't fix the team.
  3. Mike Sixel
    For the Twins....not overall ranking: 1. Wright 2. Gore/Greene . . . 4. McKay . 5. Lewis
  4. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't take him until round 3 or later, personally.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's possible that athletes are better, and that the game has changed....
  6. Mike Sixel
    so they are passing on the top upside pitchers. Great.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Never.
  8. Mike Sixel
    And yet, on the roster he is.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Except the rules are different, and seven teams pick a second time before the Twins....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Number 1. If they aren't number 1, it was a bad draft. the 1:1 pick usually is in the top 25-40 overall in MiLB the day they are picked.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Awful idea to trade a starting SS/2B for the next 7 years for a 1-2 year rental.
  12. Mike Sixel
    so where do you get your 2nd or 3rd pitcher for next year, then?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Because people aren't saying "for his first start"......and, he didn't stay in for 1 more inning. It is expected, but that doesn't make it good, imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    But that's my point. If 2-3 of those guys are good, and Santana is only good for 1 more year, do you really need Santana at that point? And, if none of them are good next year, then it won't matter if you have Santana or not at that point, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    that's a reasonable stance, and it is hard to argue against it. I just don't love the options this year or next, unless Gonsalves and another SP are good, in which case you don't need Santana as much, and Dozier is maybe redundant.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Because I don't think they are good enough next year, unless they can get help from AA. If they can get help from AA, then getting a SP NEXT YEAR for Santana isn't that important anyway, imo. And, Santana won't be good forever, probably. I'd guess he has maybe 1 good year left. After that? HUGE step back for this team, unless the guys they have and trade for are good in 19 and beyond.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Of those 8, some won't really be available, assuming you counted Sale, for example.... but, they'll have to outbid some teams for sure. I just don't see a difference maker there, that will actually be available and signed by this team.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I've never (I don't think) insisted they get someone that would be ready next year, unlike others.
  19. Mike Sixel
    So, 3 runs in 4 innings is good? I'm so confused.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I admit to not knowing the list of 100 some SPs that might be available in other minor league systems. And, I'm not thinking only about next year. I'm thinking the next 4-7 years.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Which of these would be available, and better than Santiago? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/08/2017-18-mlb-free-agent-list.html
  22. Mike Sixel
    Nope. It's all on the FO insisting on signing old, bad, pitchers (and injuries). Molitor can only pitch the guys he's given. He doesn't always us them they way I would, but you can't pitch the same 3-4 guys every single day. But, right now, they have legit prospects that are healthy thru June. How about calling up even 1 of them....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Who are they leading, exactly? All the other veterans?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Hicks and Revere didn't make it in the majors? could have fooled me. that list looks pretty accurate, actually, given how little would have been known about Sano and his likelihood of being great, at that time.
  25. Mike Sixel
    1. The coverage here has been amazing. I doubt there is another site on the web this good (for 1 team). Thank you all. 2. Taking a "soft tossing" SP would really annoy me. 3. I want upside more than anything else, so I go Greene or Gore. 4. I don't see them getting shots at ACE types in FA, like the Cubs or other teams, so i don't think they can ignore pitching early as a strategy. 5. I would be good with Greene, Gore, Wright. 6. I would be less good with others. 7. 7 teams have at least 1 more pick before the Twins, and the spreads aren't as big as previous years. So, I don't think saving money to get a guy to drop is as easy this year.
