    I don't think you all understand how rare it is to hit .300 anymore.....I wouldn't bet on any twin doing it more than one or two times in a career.
  2. Mike Sixel
    One less team to compete with in trying to find an OT in FA/draft....since Miami has a 2nd year player.
  3. Mike Sixel
    wimps. I went to a concert on a Wednesday, and I'm old and need my sleep.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I agree, betting their entire slot on one player is a big time bet. I don't argue that at all.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I actually share your enthusiasm for all three, frankly. I like the OF this year, a lot. I think Buxton is going to show all us doubters how impatient we were.....

    I was here last summer. Idyllic.
  7. Mike Sixel
    in fairness, I asked about ALL OF BASEBALL, and he answered it that way.

    Chris 11:15 thoughts on Berrios this year? Jeff Sullivan 11:15 Fresh start, cautiously optimistic.

    mike sixel 10:50 Will I ever be able to go golfing again, or does the rain never stop here? As for the Twins, odds the SP is not one of the five worst staffs this year? Jeff Sullivan 10:50 July through the middle of September are amazing! Except lately Augusts have been too hot sorry 10:51 I think the Twins can make it into the 20 - 25 range. Having a pitch-framer, at last, is going to help them Granted, that would be value from the catcher, not the pitching staff, but we'll still be talking better K's and fewer walks

    Pelosi strikes me as a better WHIP than face of the team....

    Noah 10:27 Are you surprised by the Twins lack of moves this offseason, considering the regime change? Is this a result of Falvey and Levine not knowing what they have in terms of assets? Jeff Sullivan 10:28 I think they would've liked to move Dozier, but outside of that, there are already a lot of internal pieces that need some more time. The team wasn't in position to shake things up too much. I was surprised by the Park move, but I do get it

    Noah 10:05 Do you think Miguel Sano can stick at 3B? Jeff Sullivan 10:05 For a few years
  13. Mike Sixel
    I did find that odd....but he is/was by far the low guy on him, from what I can tell.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I also love "if you don't like it, move out of the country"....wish some of them had in the previous 8 years.... not really

    I'd guess that mid-2018, we see Gordon in MN. Javier is at least 4 years away, I'd guess, maybe 5. By then, who knows where Polanco is?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Jaff 9:15 If you could fix a super hyped prospect that failed at the major leagues who would it be? What would you fix? Jeff Sullivan 9:16 I'd fix Byron Buxton's ability to make contact. If Buxton could show he could hit the ball consistently, it's so easy to see him as another CF superstar It's weird that it's 2017 and I'm more excited about Keon Broxton
  17. Mike Sixel
    The EPA and DoEducation and Endangered Species departments/acts will be restored into existence (either literally or in effect).
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not sure on cause and effect. I think it is partly the pitchers (outside MN) are younger and throw harder/better, and partly that players and teams realize doubles and home runs are more valuable than they thought, so they have adjusted their approach. Mostly I think it is the pitching.
  19. Mike Sixel
    or, they could have gone over slot, and signed more players. That's what every other team that went over slot did. It's why so many other teams have so many high upside players in their systems. Giving him $115K more than slot, with no others signed, isn't really going over slot in a way that matters at all.
  20. Mike Sixel
    You trust Molitor to do this?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Or maybe they "gave up" home runs because Dozier is a good HR hitter. It's not like they said, "heck, I'm not going to try to get this guy out". That's like old school thinking that a walk is all the pitcher's fault. No one gave up trying to get him out.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He had multiple suitors and got $2MM?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Craig Calcaterra reviewed both Hillbilly Elegy and Glass House. He finds Hillbilly to be completely wrong, and filled with no real supporting data for its premise. You should read his reviews, imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Those BA are way high. Players just don't hit for that high a BA these days.
  25. Mike Sixel
    To be fair, they didn't go enough over slot for there to be a penalty. They stayed in the margin of "error" as it were. Pretty misleading to imply they actually spent more than their slot, when it came with no penalty at all. On ceiling, this seems about right for a ranking. But we are a long way from knowing if he can take those tools into production. I usually like ranking guys on ceiling, but this seems high to me for some reason.
