    Apparently their plan is to let every good OL get signed by other teams....
  2. Mike Sixel
    He's a 26 YO catcher, I doubt service time will matter much....especially if he can't hit, as you posit.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We 100% agree on that!
  4. Mike Sixel
    He might (or might not) deserve that, though. Kind of like your manager saying all he cares about is RBI....

    Sigh. change the word to "won't" in my sentence. Feel better now? Is my argument really any different, that they have to be better than other teams at developing players, now that I said "won't" and not "can't"? And, I'm not sure you are right about can't.....they don't have a big tv contract at all.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm. Not sure I think any of these guys matter to the future of the Twins. But I've been surprised before.

    Snarfle 1:17 Yeah, Kepler. He was nifty for a bit last year. How nifty will he be this year? Eno Sarris 1:18 I'm worried. Doesn't have a power launch angle, didn't kill the ball by exit velo, overplayed his context-neutral results, fell off in second half. Could be a .260/.330 15/15 guy, which is okay but not a star. Airborne 1:18 is it okay to dislike Max Kepler based on his quote in yesterday's article opposing the air revolution in the swing Eno Sarris 1:19 yes, because it's meaningful when put hand in hand with his own results.

    sunday sales! GOLD. MINE.

    I would love to have my own golf course, let's do this!

    CamdenWarehouse 12:56 Do you think that fans are expecting more from young guys than they have in the past? If so, is it irrational and we're being colored by recent successes or is the aging curve moving to the point where we should expect more? Eno Sarris 12:57 There's evidence that peaks are coming earlier than we thought. Might be as early as 24-25. And with velo declining from day one, you might just want to take a guy with some polish (can be a little less than Urias) and get him to bigs as quick as possible.

    Most FAs sign for the money. All the other stuff is the tie breaker (except in the rare "my family lives there" cases).
  12. Mike Sixel
    Bt 12:33 Will Jose Berrios make the rotation to start the year? And is it safe to say at this point he may not live up to his hype? Eno Sarris 12:33 I'm still hopeful. Great command, made a small adjustment to his delivery late last year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    all fair, we just disagree. Garver won't get more than 60 ABs in 2018 if Castro is healthy. At some point, you need to call him up. As for the depth in AAA thing....I'd rather the best LT options were in MN, learning about the majors, now, rather than later. We've had depth preached to us for the last several years, that we should keep the crappy veterans in MN and have depth in AAA.....how's that worked out? not so great, imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If I had to guess, Rick doesn't like older players....and he thinks he's smarter than everyone else about OL, which you'd think he would know better by now....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Charityslave 12:08 Does Dozier hit 35 hrs this year? Eno Sarris 12:09 Yes.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Uh, cheaper than a sitter? Can't find a sitter? Is that like a real question?
  17. Mike Sixel
    heh....I just re-posted pretty much the same thought....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm going to quote myself on this: Some say "Garver has to play every day"....well, he won't likely be asked to do that next year, either, assuming Castro is healthy. How many years will you hold him back, so that he can play every day in AAA?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, we've seen pretty clearly by their actions they want veterans, right? Their pursuit of 41 year old DH options, their signing of multiple bad/mediocre RPs, and the likelihood of Gimenez being on the roster over Murphy or Garver. It wasn't about his age, it's about their preference for veterans, on a rebuilding team that is already not all that young....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ugh.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Molitor basically said he doesn't care how a guy hits, as long as he drives in runs.......THIS is the manager of the future? Ugh.
  22. Mike Sixel
    DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE, where have you been?
  23. Mike Sixel
    so, basically judge a hitter by RBI. And people think Molitor is going to be a great manager....
  24. Mike Sixel
    40 years of history? A smaller TV contract?
  25. Mike Sixel
    If he never comes up, because it is important to get AAA reps and have depth....I'd rather have him here if he's better than Murphy or Gimenez this year or next year...
