    I'd 100% want prospects back, the Twins need to rebuild. That said, most of the prospects he listed are in AA or AAA or have some MLB time already, this isn't a bunch of rookie ball guys....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd aim for one of the OFers in the 50-75 range, personally. Plus a low end RP type (who could currently be a minor league starter that I'd convert).
  3. Mike Sixel
    Well, he has tweeted for years that the Twins were "in on" every Cuban.....IMO, and this is me not knowing anything other than what I read, he's a mouthpiece for the Twins.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Putting aside your personal scouting....I think he is around 80th or so in the prospect rankings, I think that's the question....what would you trade Santana for?
  5. Mike Sixel
    we won't know how well they are playing it until he is traded or not.... I can't see how anyone can take what Doogie says seriously, as anything other than a PR piece for the Twins. Still waiting for all his "the Twins are in on X" to come true 1 time....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Started Westworld.... Was hooked right away. Four episodes in...
  7. Mike Sixel
    Isn't Doogie the one always saying they are in on Cubans? Ha.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Doing them a favor by exchanging valuable players for each other?
  9. Mike Sixel
    We have bacon and homemade cinnamon rolls every Christmas...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Are you arguing trading for prospects is under valuing him?
  11. Mike Sixel
    He also has locker room issues, apparently...
  12. Mike Sixel
    I see no one here posting about accepting anything other than two of their to give prospects. Both of those are in the top fifty, probably overall... And in getting one to two more pieces. What mythical fan on these boards is asking for less? How is that under valuing him? If you are going to argue against someone, argue against an actual argument being made...
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not interested. Pitchers are flippable more than he would be.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure how it is academic when we see prospects traded for veterans all the time.... I do agree with the numbers thing... But the other side of the coin is, if prospects rarely work out, is there value in letting others take on the cost of risk? Probably not, since it is hard to acquire elite players other than developing your own....

    Upcoming days: 24th: National Eggnog Day 25th: National Pumpkin Pie Day (what, who came up with this, this is all wrong) 26th: National Candy Cane Day (again, what?) 28th: National Chocolate Candy Day, National Card Playing Day We can wait on the rest....and I left off Christmas and Chanukah and the others that aren't food...or playing games...
  16. Mike Sixel
    Today is: NATIONAL PFEFFERNUSSE DAY My grandmother made these every year. I miss her (and them).
  17. Mike Sixel
    He swings both ways, but to call him a hitter would be an exaggeration, imo. That speed? It doesn't translate on the basepaths or on defense. He is perplexing to me. He should be able to play OF defense and steal bases....and yet....
  18. Mike Sixel
    That was stupid....for a bad team especially.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Why not roll with one of the worst players in all of MLB the last two years? For me, he offers nothing. can't hit, can't field, can't run. If he could do one of those, I'd consider it....which is why i'd consider keeping Grossman around to PH.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Big Z 10:49 Better career hitter in the end: Schwarber or Sano? Jeff Sullivan 10:49 I'll go with Sano
  21. Mike Sixel
    When has DanSan ever been good in the minors? He had one fluky good year in the majors, other than that? He has no minor league track record indicating he'd be good. I don't get why anyone would want him. He can't hit, and he can't field, and he doesn't run well..... Where did I suggest fill a hole based on Dozier's departure? And, if you go from 5 to 7 SP prospects, you can now trade from depth, if you are so inclined.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't say you are no fun, I'd say you answered the question...No, you would not trade any of them. Btw, how do you acquire said blocked players (like Grossman, I assume).
  23. Mike Sixel
    Chris can't be happy EE just signed there....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, that was kind of the question.....but let's look at it this way.... If we think Santana could return an equivalent player, is there a kind of player like ESan you'd deal them for? Or, if prospect trades happen, would you deal one for a hitter (SS, 3B, C, OF) in about the same range in the prospect list? I'd CONSIDER dealing two of them, assuming the Dozier deal lands De Leon and Alvarez (or another SP prospect).
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ok, I know this sounds potentially stupid.....but the Twins have 5 pitchers in AA that will all "arrive" around the same time. IMO, they are all about the same in terms of being number 3 types starters, probably, as ceilings. Would you deal any of them, say 2, for SS/3B/OF, either at the MLB level or for different prospects (putting aside prospect for prospect trades rarely happen)? Would you just keep them all, and let it play out (thereby, any that don't work out provide no long term value)? Do you assume any that aren't working out move to the bullpen? Or, would you keep them in AAA as starters and backups for injuries?
