    Gonsalves in AA, so he is not so close, I would guess. Not sure why?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Great story here, very entertaining http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/sunday-notes-meadows-sox-surprise-mackanin-gems-twins-d-backs-more/

    Gordon should be at shortstop every day, if they think he is a shortstop in the majors. This is about building the twins, not AA wins.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why would you trade Gordon, your starting shortstop for ten years? That is an odd suggestion, imo.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea. They cut Park, and tried to sign a DH. I am guessing the team has the twelfth best DH at the end of the year. I don't think they like their options.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Gonsalves in AA? Why? I see the new regime is going to be super aggressive in promoting guys....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I agree. They tried to sign another DH.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not sure be patient, give them time, expect big changes in two to four weeks... Not sure those thoughts are all congruent....
  9. Mike Sixel
    ugh. please no.
  10. Mike Sixel
    right, isn't some low A flyer and cash less valuable than the 25th roster spot? I mean, that 25th spot is a very valuable asset, and should not be wasted. It's either worth having Haley here, in which you case you make a trade, or its not....
  11. Mike Sixel
    some kind of Pasta is playing third? wow.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Terry's Sarape 11:01 If Buxton can go .270 20/20 for 10 years with excellent defense, shouldn't he/we be excited about that? Jeff Sullivan 11:01 Yes, of course ernie 11:02 what do you think of the twins' decision to send park to the minors, despite his big spring? Jeff Sullivan 11:02 I don't like it, but I've long been a Park supporter
  13. Mike Sixel
    Here's hoping you don't crash on a remote island, or whatever happened after the first episode...

    Steve 10:11 What's your outlook on the Twins? They were certainly unlucky last season (BaseRuns had them at 71 wins), and there is some offensive potential. Jeff Sullivan 10:11 There will be a lot of runs A lot of runs are going to score in Twins games
  15. Mike Sixel
    Is there any other sport that refuses to put names on shirts/jerseys? So stupid. So utterly stupid.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I really hope his answer is a joke.... Mike sixel 9:29 Should I go try to see whales from the shore this afternoon, taste beer, hike near the city, or finish packing for my move this weekend? Re baseball: How long until the Twins get at least one playoff vote in staff predictions? Jeff Sullivan 9:29 Go hike at Cape Lookout to search for whales at the end. Six years

    admittedly, I only care because I want the team to be good. It's a root cause, but what I actually care about is the outcomes. but yes, you are correct, that's why I care, so I guess I do.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Clearly they don't want to broadcast Berrios and Park dominating the Twins..... or, they think music will get more listeners, and they wanted to stop spending money on travel expenses....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Where he literally says he isn't predicting it would happen. It was a thought piece, and he clearly says he doesn't think it will happen.
  20. Mike Sixel
    1 start? wow. that would be the shortest leash ever....
  21. Mike Sixel
    but if you release them, it isn't a 30-35 man team. That's the part I am struggling to understand. They don't have depth they can move around, at least as far as I can tell....
  22. Mike Sixel
    How is the bullpen built for 30-35 guys, if you sign 36 year olds that can't be sent down? I have been trying to figure this out for two days now, and I can't. Hopefully someone smarter than me can explain how having a bullpen full of guys you can't send down is building a team for 30-35 guys. cutting them doesn't help, that still leaves you with less guys...so I'm really trying to figure this out.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If he can hit .500 bunting, he should bunt every time.....but that seems unlikely. I predict 4 WAR of both the b and f variety. I predict more hitting, but still maddeningly inefficient at stealing bases.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Two Twins' starters are in the bottom five pitchers by contact allowed, not good: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-al-contact-management-by-pitch-type/
  25. Mike Sixel
    Well, that's not really how it works. They were very unlucky last year in terms of win/loss. That's the kind of logic AZ used last year, and now their GM and President are fired. You have to look at how they arrived at 59 games.....they probably should have 65 or so last year, given how they actually played. Also, if you aren't expecting better years from Buxton and Sano, and much better OF defense this year, you are probably losing a few wins in your prediction, imo. 72 is my number.
