    IMO, of course, Gimenez is bad. He's not going to magically get better. Garver could be good. I'd like him in MN by June, getting used to being a MLB player, so that he's ready in a year or two, when/if the Twins are good. Rather than have him be a rookie with no experience in two years, I'd like him to be experienced in being a MLB player.

    Not actually. No. It isn't that easy, as you can see by reading the article. Also, TX had to convince their ownership.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If he is AAA, not here, he provides literally no value at all to the Twins.
  6. Mike Sixel
    If all goes well, he only plays about once a week next year also.....how many years does he stay down to avoid that, and provider zero value to the Twins?

    It's funny, I can't think of any Olivias I knew/know either. Now, I have a terrible memory for names, but I can't come up with one.

    Except ESan has legit value. As does Dozier and Castro. That's about it for movable veterans. I posted that Yankee thing because it talked about rebuilding, and not trying to win when you really don't have a chance to win. If I could find the TX GM's comments on that, I'd post those too....

    given they had no plan B for the 4th year in a row for the OF, too long.

    I admit, I'm easier to please than some. I'm also not tied into CANON like some. So I might not be the best small sample for this question...

    This is a great article about how RP and the save statistic are kind of bad for baseball..... https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/goose-egg-new-save-stat-relief-pitchers/?addata=espn:mlb:index and, it has some nice hearted snark, imo.

    For me it isn't the price, as the principle..... free over the air in Mpls, charge me money on line in Mpls. then again, if they could find a way to charge for radio, they would. That's probably the delta.

    I doubt anyone was offended by the intro.....it was a great intro.

    Moassthb just doesn't have a great ring to it, Craig.

    Why would I feel cheated? They are entertaining. I would like a bit more originality, but I paid twice, and probably will again on rerelease.... For both. No complaints from me
  16. Mike Sixel
    Wow
  17. Mike Sixel
    When would you call up Garver? He's no spring chicken.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Santana is old, not free, and is a FA in 1.5 years. Getting a top 20 prospect for him would be a great outcome, especially for a team VERY unlikely to make the playoffs this year, and probably next year. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-brian-cashman-sold-the-yankees-rebuild/

    Fences are a royal pain. We took ours out in MN, and never put it back. That said, I know some people like them. Even taking ours out was a royal pain. edit: sigh. I just realized I used "royal pain" twice in that short rant. sigh.

    If someone offered me a SP in AAA that I believed was a number 3 for the next 5 years, I'd trade ESan right now. Assuming that's what you mean by Berrios type. Gonsalves is hurt, and his stuff is nice, but not awesome. Romero has already had arm surgery. Gibson and Santana aren't young. Santiago? Who knows. Mejia? Hard to say. I'd love to have another Berrios type, assuming you mean top 20 in all of baseball pitching prospect in AAA (which is what Berrios was last year).
  21. Mike Sixel
    I can't see an AL team using him any other way than DH (when not pitching). Way too risky. If he's a legit top 10 pitcher, you just don't risk it as a fielder* *unless somehow those numbers do come here, in which case I probably just make him a full time OF, and no pitching. Which I predict will not happen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, it would be fun. We need more fun.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Looks like Hicks', and Buxton's implosions.....all top prospects. The Twins can't afford this kind of "development" from top draft picks.
  24. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, I think KLAW's point was that he could certainly hit better than most pitchers, but that projecting him as a DH here might not be a good idea.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Beat me by two minutes! It was a nice piece. I really like his work.
