    David 1:58 Where do you see Dozier going now/at the deadline? Giants? Cardinals? Nats? Mets? Does any "likely" team have a prospect package that entices the Twins? Eric A Longenhagen 1:58 I think Minnesota waits for someone to get hurt so they can leverage that club. Of course, if Dozier starts slow....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Companies run on probabilities, not hope or whatever. If the Twins are building this roster (they aren't, imo) based on hope, that's an issue for long term success....
  3. Mike Sixel
    because some of you don't visit the other thread..... Bork 1:45 How high is the risk on De Leon? Eric A Longenhagen 1:45 Probably higher than is usual for an arm that's had that kind of success at Triple-A. Injuries, had weight issues in college. And that fastball can be pretty flat. Some are worried he's going to be homer prone.
  4. Mike Sixel
    you think the Twins being a contender this year is a legit possibility? we disagree on that. As does pretty much every projection system and Vegas.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Or, the 2B market stays the same. that's also a legit possibility.

    I should have thai food with me today, but I got distracted this am, and it's in the fridge.....maybe I'll find a PB burger.
  7. Mike Sixel
    well, that post I responded to was pretty clear..... I don't begrudge your stance, Nick, not at all.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I understand, we don't know what hte Twins think......we do know what about 5 ranking sites think. I'm curious, has anyone posted that if the Twins think De Leon sucks, they should have traded for him?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not fair....what most posters realize is that you need A LOT of pitching prospects, some with ceilings, to end up with a good staff. One way to get those is to trade for them.....I think making assumptions about what most poster don't realize is probably a bad idea.
  10. Mike Sixel
    We can all agree that we don't want them to be the AZ traders, that's true.
  11. Mike Sixel
    see above.... "if you think he's a number 3/4"...you have to trust your scouts. Now, if that meant "if there is a 50% chance he's a 3", that's a different statement.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I guess I misunderstood this part: "If you think De Leon is a #3/4 type, maybe it's better to roll the dice on a ****ty FA pitcher and keep Dozier" because that part seems to say that you wouldn't trade Dozier for a number 3 pitcher. Maybe the 4 is bigger.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Yup, that's what I expected also. the Twins did 1 of those things.....sort of, with catcher.
  14. Mike Sixel
    KLAW is big on upside, vs Sickels who is big on likely to succeed at some level. But yes....if the Twins think De Leon is a number 4/5, I understand why they wanted more. If they think he is a 3, then I probably do a 1:1, probably.
  15. Mike Sixel
    You wouldn't trade 2 years of Dozier, when they aren't in the playoffs, for 6 years of a number three, when hopefully they are? I would. as for your second point, why would you trade Dozier for the same offer later, if not now?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, seasons 2-4 were about perfect for me. and, Parks and Rec, it ages very, very well..... and, on the last point, Heroes anyone? Had they finished season 1 like they weren't doing more, that would have been a better show, imo.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Today is national peanut butter day.....I think my oldest would die of starvation w/o peanut butter.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think the US version of the Office, while not perfect all the time, was very good television.....just your daily glass half full post, now back to whining about the Dozier "trade"....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm down to only reading KLAW, and the NFL draft stuff, on insider. Just for KLAW, imo, it is worth it. But I understand your irrational hatred, trust me....
  20. Mike Sixel
    No, no way. Sorry, that's just totally unfair.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you add a starter, I assume Berrios is in the minors, and May is in the bullpen. Is that what people want, at this point? I wouldn't be shocked at a RP or two, frankly. Can't let young guys pitch in relief....even if you spend numerous 2nd and 3rd round picks on them.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Remero is "some reliever risk in his delivery, but has the best shot of anyone in the system to be a number 1 or 2 starter" Seriously, pay the money, it's cheap. Only De Leon is ranked so far.
  23. Mike Sixel
    No one should be worried about service time for relief pitchers, should they? Other than that, we are talking about Berrios, how long would he have to stay down not to burn a year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I noticed, yes.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    common sense=world is flat argument, Nick. Is there any evidence that making one bad deal, or one great deal, changes how other deals happen? I'm not arguing you or others are wrong, I am asking if anyone has any data on this at all, or we just "know it is true".
