    The farm system is fine, and the majors are a tweak away....and people felt Ryan should be fired? Help me out here....
  2. Mike Sixel
    it's almost like the post I responded to was about making any trade for a RP, and not specific...... And, the OP was about "if the Twins are in serious contention", imagine a trade.....I'm trying to play within those rules.
  3. Mike Sixel
    And I deleted the Rortverdt part, since I "read" Kiriloff! It's hard to get 5K posts in 2 weeks....
  4. Mike Sixel
    ....Diaz is a 1b/DH in low A, he's not cracking the top 100 lists. Was Burdi on top 100 lists?
  5. Mike Sixel
    and he lives in Portland! *no, I have not tried to meet him....

    You are going to get all kinds of "but, they are young in the majors", ignoring the point of your post completely. Only Buxton (and now Berrios), of the young players, was brought in in the last 4-5 years.....(probably Duffey also). Jay and Stewart certainly don't look worthy of their picks, and Gonsalves is hurt (along with last year's top pick). None of their international signings are in the top 100 from the last 5 years either, despite having one of the bigger pools. First, there is a new GM. Second, I think the head of scouting got "promoted". Other than that, it is mostly the same scouts and coaches.... I'm in full wait and see mode, because nothing much has changed, and there is virtually no data to work from since all they've done is Castro and OLD guys and castoffs.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Cubs clearly didn't learn the same lesson, or Cleveland....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd say that last sentence describes Wright, right now, given what I can glean from the interwebs.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Same
  10. Mike Sixel
    I think you counted some good posts at least twice....
  11. Mike Sixel
    and thanks for the summary! though, I would have checked the phone later....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Fair. We don't know what offers are real or not real. But I'd do Wade for Robertson, under the rules you posted at the top (that they were real contenders).
  13. Mike Sixel
    White Sox, imo. Is Wade on a single top 150 list, or even 200 list? I do that trade all day if I'm the Twins. They have 2-3 starting OFers (or, they are screwed anyway) and Granite and Grossman.....they don't have a Robertson.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Tyler 10:52 With Berrios coming back up for Saturday, do you think he can turn it around? Jeff Sullivan 10:53 I'm not very worried about what happened in 2016. It didn't make much sense, given his talent
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm liking him just fine this year as a legit 4, trending to 3. He won't be an ACE, imo, or even a consistent 2, but he'll be good.
  16. Mike Sixel
    i don't think Palka is much of a prospect. Wade, Granite, Gordon, Vielma, Garver are it for close position players. Not even sure how many good position players there are below that, that aren't hurt or come with huge question marks. I'd think one or more of the SP in low A or A+ or AA could be tradeable and have value also.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I just passed 20K posts, forgetting I was close and was meaning to post something cool. Y'all will just have to wait 5K more posts (or, about 2 weeks, apparently)....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Damnit, I passed 20K in posts on lame 1 sentence posts!
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tyler 10:48 Why do you think Buxton has begun to have success the past few weeks? What changed compared to the first month? Jeff Sullivan 10:49 Similarities between his season and Keon Broxton's, although Broxton has been better. I doubt there have been any dramatic changes in mechanics or approach. It's probably just been more of a mental thing, where they got too down on themselves early, and at some point they were able to just snap out of that funk and get a fresh start I know that sounds stupid and boring, but it's my hypothesis wrex 10:49 Please discuss Byron Buxton further. Jeff Sullivan 10:49 The best thing about the recent hot stretch: he's not striking out so often. Although his contact rate is still low, so it's not like that has been conquered
  20. Mike Sixel
    certain to get complaints because it isn't a 10 paragraph, well researched answer, in a chat..... Tyler 10:42 What are your thoughts on Hector Santiago? He's been really impressive thus far, but he has to come back down to earth, right? Jeff Sullivan 10:42 Nothing about that profile impresses me 10:43 He's long been able to keep his ERA under his peripherals, but not by nearly this much
  21. Mike Sixel
    great post. You are on fire this week!
  22. Mike Sixel
    thanks! IMO, that would make it not really a concern, but I get your concern, I just don't share it.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Happy birthday weekend!
  24. Mike Sixel
    clipped since we don't need the whole quote...... Agreed, they have not had good luck at all with injuries. I'd just like to see Burdi and Melo in AAA now, as a sign.....I mean, I'd prefer Burdi was here now, but at least promote them.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think he/she missed the word "augment".....
