    KLAW has Rmoero at 65....starter stuff, but some reliever risk in the delivery. Best shot of any of their guys to be a number 1 or 2 starter. seriously, subscribe to insider, it's cheap. the write up is pretty long per guy.
  2. Mike Sixel
    De Leon....73 "solid 4th starter" that's it, everyone else is higher or not in the top 100.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  4. Mike Sixel
    You asked why I thought that....I replied why I thought that. I don't know if any of that is true or not, but that's what I think. I thought that was clear, if not, apologies. I like KLAW a lot, but others are much higher on De Leon than him.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, other than SS and LF and DH and 1B, I'm good with the hitters (frankly, Sano is DH or 1B, so maybe 3B)....but even those position are ok for now. The SP? Ugh. The RP, probably more ugh. I find it funny that people say the sophomore slump exists, but they can't wait to see how much better Kepler will be this year....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I tweeted with Dave Cameron, fwiw, he thinks the Twins blew it.
  7. Mike Sixel
    That's what KLAW wants him to do, btw....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I also admire their optimism. I don't agree, but I admire it.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Because they won't get offered more than De Leon, a top 30 prospect in the game. Because there aren't many teams that need a 2B, as we just saw. Because not acting happens more often than acting. Because I'm a MN sports' fan, and I've seen this play out badly over and over (Adrian Peterson anyone?).
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why not just promote the young RPs now? Why wait? Why not evaluate them in the majors, before they get hurt and lose velocity?
  11. Mike Sixel
    They could have acquired minor league players for Dozier, if they really have some kind of full roster..... I also don't think Hughes makes the rotation, but that's not due to his age.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Do you have evidence this is true? That making one trade for 75 cents on the dollar, means you never do better later? is it really better to keep Dozier, and not make the playoffs for the next two years, and have nothing to show? Are you really sure that's better?
  13. Mike Sixel
    and 2018-2023......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Will we? Still on the roster: Dan San, Grossman, and lots of veteran, bad, RPs. What evidence is there we will finally see the youth play? I think we've heard hints Berrios will be in the minors to start the year. What other org leaves someone that dominated AAA that much in AAA, when they have a bottom three pitching staff. Until I see something actually, you know, happen, I don't think it happens. As for Dozier not being dealt, and Santana not being dealt, well, EVERY OTHER rebuilding team has found a way to get younger talent into their organization, every. Single. One.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Nick's article left off the most likely outcome....Dozier is good to very good, the Twins can't pitch, lose 85-90 games, and then do it again next year, and then Dozier leaves as a FA.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Well, they have nothing else to trade, does this matter? Is there any evidence, anywhere, that anyone can find, anywhere, that making one "bad" trade leads to bad offers in the future, or is this "the earth is flat, everyone knows that"? Seriously, just give me some actual data about this. One piece.
  17. Mike Sixel
    IIRC, the first was watchable, but I don't recall watching Children ever.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Nearly impossible. The constitution gives all the power to low population areas, which the Gop is doing everything it can to brain wash thru under funding education.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Which free agents are good?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Based on no one making such an offer now? What makes you think they van get a top ten pitching prospect in the future? And why take that then, if not now?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I see no one on this thread doing that. Actually, I see some saying just De Leon is enough, some saying we don't know the offer, and others saying it was only De Leon like they know the offer. I see no one on this thread doing what you say....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Now that was funny.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Who is left to sign? Who will offer more for Dozier? Who else are they going to trade? And, I don't know the offer, so I can't say they turned down a bad trade. All I know with any certainty is they have an asset that expires in two years, they don't think Jorge can play SS, and they have a fairly bad pitching staff, probably terrible, along with what could be a really bad defense on the left side. That's Ali we actually know....
  24. Mike Sixel
    The post I quoted seemed to pretty clearly say it didn't really matter if they trade Brian, and that he is happy he is still here. Maybe I read it wrong. So far they have added Castro.... So it's fixed? They signed no relief pitcher. No flyer starter, no OF. They traded no one. Basically, it was a Ryan off season. The best rebuilding teams trade their veterans. The others sit pat, because they aren't willing to pay the price of being bad. So far, what is better about this team? And if you say growth, then why fire Ryan?
  25. Mike Sixel
    If everything is fine, why fire Ryan?
