    Right, I forgot about jinxing. My bad. clearly it is spring training for all of us...

    You know, since I am actually kind of working, I have no idea if this is sarcasm, or real. Guessing sarcasm...
  3. Mike Sixel
    Correct, once a player leaves, all the other players forget everything he taught them about culture. Every. Last. Thing.

    I also don't think they are rebuilding. They only talked about adding veterans all off season. They did so. they tried to add even more. There is zero evidence they are rebuilding, or even building at all.

    He never said decisions only (about the injuries...he mentions three decisions, basically), he said all this news together is disappointing. I share that. I can't see how anyone wouldn't, really.

    Ok, that was funny. thanks, hope you are enjoying FL.

    1. good plan 2. my Philly friends would say that's a bad idea, I'd guess 3. Kinda hard to tell from that shot, maybe give Van another one?

    Actually, IF A then B, does not mean, If not A, then not B, chi.....so, the only way to test it is to eat pie.

    The tweets continue. And they continue to be embarrassing. And my RW friends continue to love him. I admit it. I don't understand. He lies. He's immature. He is under investigation by the FBI. He is proposing eliminating every program he can. And they love him for it. Because he's not a democrat.

    Philip 12:54 Has Bukauskas passed Faedo for you? And is Beck a legitimate top 5 draft consideration Eric A Longenhagen 12:55 So far, yes. And yes too as well.
  11. Mike Sixel
    If his D is decent at all, they move way up the rankings.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    did you have pie for bfast? We want to know the rules here....does it work, or not?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Wait, now you are saying that pitchers should come up earlier, not later? You gonna say that about Berrios and Meija also?

    I am a ESan believer. It boggles the mind no contender made a strong run at him, to me at least. I think Gibson deserves at least one shot with a good defense (in the OF) and a good catcher. I think he can be league average. But, I've always been higher on him than his outcomes might justify. Santiago? Well, it seems to me he pitched poorly when they tried to make him a control type. Then they let him just throw it, and he was better. They then instituted a "you have to show control or you can't pitch" rule this year. So, I have no idea what to expect. I'm guessing here, but I think solid number 4/5 type. Hughes? No idea. I personally have strong doubts about his ability to be good, let alone great, following this surgery. But, as long as he's throwing over 91, he should get a shot. I'd bet he ends up in the bullpen at some point this year, even if just from fatigue. I think Meija or Berrios should be the fifth starter, with the other in AAA. Neither is a finished product, but then we are told constantly that we shouldn't expect instant success from young players (then are told they should be down until they are ready, sigh). I don't know what I'd do with Duffey. I think he's a 5th starter at best, but could be a good RP. If they had one more veteran type in AAA, I'd probably put Duffey in the MLB bullpen. But, if they really are lacking depth, I'd have him in AAA. He's not so great a RP or SP that he needs to be in MN, I think.

    I think it would be ok if they lost Tonkin. They have about 100 RPs in AA and AAA that are about as good or better. Even at his best, imo, he's a decent RP, not a great one. I am beginning to get hopeful that Vogelsgang is not on the roster.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think you read the market wrong....they are getting past the idea that defense doesn't matter, not Ks. If Sano can hit and play 3rd, he'll make plenty of money. If he can hit and play 1st, he'll make plenty of money. If he can only hit HRs, and not play D, and have a low OBP, well, he'll stay make 7-8MM per year (in today's dollars).
  17. Mike Sixel
    for me, the Twins want more control and strike throwing. That doesn't work for Santiago, he appears to be wildly effective.....so, if they are really going all in on this "control or don't pitch" thing, I have concerns. But, i'd pencil them both in, now that both are signed.
  18. Mike Sixel
    bigger choke, this team, or the gophers? sigh. Mostly I'm sad for my many friends and son, I don't care that much, but I'm hurting for all of you.

    Fort Myers doesn't have pie, or all the shops close by 2 pm for sleepy time?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Huh, might need to save this site! But, this is the "official national day calendar of Twins Daily"* http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/ *not really, but hey, it's a game thread...
  21. Mike Sixel
    Well, if you are going to waste electricity by having your lights on all the time, this is one way to spend less money doing it I guess...
  22. Mike Sixel
    I would probably given that guy money.

    Since my next meeting just canceled: How does one go looking for a job when one is nearly 53 and is more of a generalist than a specialist, again, asking for a friend. Not me, I'm not looking for work.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Van, man, qq: How many veterans does it take to lead each "young" player on a roster? Asking for a friend...
  25. Mike Sixel
    We aren't talking pitch framing, we are talking manager value......what do the two have to do with each other?
