    Because they have not 1 SP that we know is a starter past 2018. Not 1. The AA pitchers are not doing well (Stewart looking bad, Jay moved to RP), Gonsalves is hurt, and Berrios is not good enough to be on this roster, apparently. Kind of hard to win with zero starting pitchers. That said, I'd try to hold onto him, and move Dozier. But, Dozier isn't making that easy right now....

    It's almost like those first 450 ABs never happened, and people are only judging him on this year! Seth, if the Astros offered you Correa for Buxton, you'd say what?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ouch. But man, look at the list of pitchers they've drafted and developed, and you may be right. alas.

    I do think it is a silly thread, frankly.....The Hu/Jepsen trade bothers me much, much more, because I think it came when the Twins did not really need just 1 RP to be very good and get over the top.
  5. Mike Sixel
    over. Way over. And much gnashing of teeth will commence. Actually, if I had to bet money, I'd bet under.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Can't do that if no one who might be part of the future ever comes up from the minors.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    There is now, there wasn't 5 years ago.

    Well, the scouts and FO types who made all these moves are still here. You know, the ones that got us Escobar and Santiago as the only returns on trades on the roster. And, the new FO has given us no reason to believe they are any better at trades, have they? It's clearly early, but they did nothing on the trade front to make this team better.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I literally LOLd! Thank you.
  10. Mike Sixel
    thanks, that was my question....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wow, Escobar and Santiago are the only two traded for.......that's bad.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Heh, right in there he says to look at rosterresource.com....and its there!
  13. Mike Sixel
    ya, that wasn't broken out, and google didn't return many good options for this kind of thing in my limited search.

    I'd forgotten about this (projections, not sure if they've done one where you see the actuals): http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-the-teams-were-built/ sort by trades, not pretty......note that while they have 15 drafted players in 2016, those 15 account for only 12.5 WAR (that's not a great ratio, btw).

    Really not a fan of platooning a 22/3 year old, in his first full season, on a losing team. Really not a fan. How many games has he sat?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I had no idea no one developed their own starters. Where do they all come from? Trades? We'll agree they've utterly failed at trades lately. How can you see rosters and how players were acquired?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Most teams have their best SP they developed internally be Kyle Gibson? He's pretty much been the only SP to last more than 2 years in, what, the last 5+ years?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Nicely played.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I suggest drinking rum, personally.... if you are legal to do so, of course.
  20. Mike Sixel
    they pay that whether he pitches or not, right? I would have put him in the bullpen right away.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Nicely done. Imagine living next to one of these massive crow farms!
  22. Mike Sixel
    or as he'd say: I'VE NEVER BEEN A FAN* *edit, but it would take him about 7 minutes to do so.
  23. Mike Sixel
    That Gladden quote is gold. Pure. Gold.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I think Javier was ranked higher on BA lists, but that could be me remembering incorrectly.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Trader Joes has them more pre-processed.....if you are into less work. Those are not sourced locally, though, so take that for what it's worth.
