    database size, I believe....

    Maybe projection? Maybe talking to scouts? Maybe having seen him? You literally have no idea what KLAW is thinking.
  3. Mike Sixel
    that's actually not what he said. He said he liked the pick at the time.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I don't get this post at all. Gibson goes higher if not for a minor injury. That was the exact kind of pick a team should make, imo.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Yes it was. I hope it works.

    The states? The ones doing even more unfunding? Public education, public libraries, public roads.....that's what made the US great. We try to get everyone a chance, unlike other nations (until recently) that did not try to educate their population.

    Fair, and I'm pretty much with you on this. Just if I have to choose, I'll take the lesser strippage, as it were. I remain hopeful, that in a generation or so, people will just wonder, wtf about LGBT issues, for example.....religion is more of a problem, since many believers refuse to question their beliefs (another reason I like the Dalai Lama, even with his warts....).

    I have no doubt he'll be a MN Twin in 2018, barring injury, of course.

    it helps they finally shed AP..... Hard to say. It depends on what they pay him. If they have to pay more than $20MM or maybe $25MM, I'd say it will be hard. that also depends on if they can get better at drafting. Last year was a disaster. Great teams in the NFL start rookies, a lot. The vikes were bad and still had no real rookie starters. The NFL is truly the league of scrubs and stars. The middle is largely being squeezed out. Frankly, I have my doubts the D is elite enough right now, due to some obvious mistakes, and the OL is so bad they pretty much have to spend real money there next year. That said, they somehow started the year the more money in the OL than any other team, I think.....

    In a year they won't likely compete, when Gordon will be here sometime in 2018 (assuming health, which you'd have to assume for a guy you trade for also)....you'd give up assets to fill that potential hole in 2017? Why?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Really? for Perkins? No way. Maybe Miller. Maybe. If you never gamble on upside, well, you never get upside. As for looking at one pick....there are tiers in the draft, as every study shows. That was the point. Picks 1-3 have different value than 4-6 or 8 (can't recall the break point), and that value is typically more than a RP. 129 RPs threw at least 50 innings last year. I'd bet some never did before, and never will again. Only 22 were more valuable than a number 4/5 starter. No way you trade the number 5 pick for a random RP, vs getting a SP, let alone a good shot at a good to very good player.

    I don't think Devos has been approved by the full Senate yet, but it is inevitable. No biggie, she just hates public education....
  13. Mike Sixel
    well, I've watched playoff defeats since the 60s, so I feel your pain.... Not sure Bradford is worse than some SB winners, but I agree, if they had an elite QB, that would help. I just think I'd take a chance with Bradford and elite D, than no Bradford and an elite D.
  14. Mike Sixel
    A recent study showed that if you have a low OBP team, adding more power is better than adding more OBP, because the high OBP guy won't have many RBI opportunities..... I do agree, if mauer is on the team, he should bat 1 or 2.
  15. Mike Sixel
    well, maybe those 6th picks were bad, and that year the 8th or 10th player was great/good. It isn't about "6th pick"...how about pick between 6 and 12? If you won't sign expensive FAs and you have no veterans to trade, getting a RP for the 6th pick sucks. Big time. Less than 25 RPs put up more than replacement level WAR last year....... Would you trade the 6th pick for a RP? I wouldn't. No one would, certainly not a rebuilding team. Probably no one.

    wish I could figure out my issues with insider....heck, having issues getting ESPN to send me email correctly... edit: and today it works! He thinks Chargois, Melotakis, Reed, Light, and Meija will/might pitch for the Twins this year, but sees little in terms of position players because of how young they are. Garver not in his top 20....unless I missed it.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Well, that's just not how to judge the 5th overall pick.....the question was asked in a chat today, about another minor league RP.... only 22 RP in all of baseball generated more than 1.2 WAR last year. A 4th/5th starter does that with his eyes closed (not a 8th starter, like the Twins....). That's nearly replacement level, and not really a good return for the 5th overall pick. Would you trade the 5th overall pick for a RP right now? I wouldn't.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff as always. I enjoy these "get to know" articles, Seth. Thanks to you and Justin.
  19. Mike Sixel
    well, that's what my edit was supposed to mean......but ya, I don't get how constitution lovers are cool with, you know, ignoring the constitution...
  20. Mike Sixel
    Seth, across the minors, how much changed? I didn't expect huge changes this first year, just curious. edit: it appears you posted the above as I asked, thanks,
  21. Mike Sixel
    You are ok with the Executive branch ignoring the judicial branch? I get agreeing with what he's doing (even if I don't), but I don't get how people that claim the constitution is important to them can be ok with that. edit: or how some are cool with detaining people at airports w/o due process, also in the constitution.
  22. Mike Sixel
    great response to our response...

    Jonathan 12:52 Would any U.S. amateurs get a 60 FV from you at this point? Eric A Longenhagen 12:52 Yeah, Kendall, Faedo and Greene and you can make a case for Wright. Can't wait to see the Vandy guys in a few weeks.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan much at all about recent appointees, frankly. But, there are degrees, not switches...I think Obama's were/are more liberal than Trump's. It's a degree thing, no?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Nick Gordon says no, and I agree.....
