    I own a lot of United healthcare, since I was there ten years .... Everything else is fine, but, ugh.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Need a catcher and first baseman next year, no? And Bader replacement. Would they use ERod that way? I doubt it.
  3. Mike Sixel
    And, it gets worse. I may have to go back to work, in my sixties. Great.

    I'm willing to concede some of you have convinced me it's not as bad as I thought. And yet, I'm not excited. They don't seem to win enough games most years. And as pointed out above, where are the pre arb replacements? It's partly on them, because I don't think they trust their process enough. Wallner should not be a platoon player, for example. And they are way too slow to give up on bad veterans. So, yes, it's not bad. But I'm not convinced it's great either.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Because we're taking about prospects?

    I hope Lewis moves to first, and not Lee. But I'm never counting on Lewis being healthy. That's negative, but it's been four years now. Keaschell, I am a big fan, but the sample size is tiny. It's hard to see this front office not signing several veterans, it's in their DNA.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Those two look like legit players. I'm the high guy in Lee on this site. I even created a thread about how good he is. I'm not excited about the help they will need later this year and next. Hopefully ERod hits and Jenkins gets healthy. Hopefully others step up.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm negative? I asked who was in AA/AAA this year, because we are talking about the minor leagues (drafting and developing). That's the topic.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Which of those is a realistic option for this year or next? Who would ERod even replace, he's not going to be a 4th OF? They haven't promoted McCusker, even with Wallner out. Eeles? He's a 2b only. Where does he play if keaschell and Lee are in MN? ERod is it (as I'd count keaschell as in MN at this point, but I'll give you him). That's it. An OF that hasn't hit at all this year, and a 2B/OF.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Of course, they need to replace Vazquez with a FA or trade, as they have zero catchers. They have to replace France who makes a measly 1 million (no one in the minors is a 1B).
  11. Mike Sixel
    Which of those is in AA or AAA right now? Because if they aren't in AA by the middle of this year, they likely aren't on the Twins this year or next.....so, yay, more 1 year deals for mediocre veterans!
  12. Mike Sixel
    What prospects (hitters) are in AA or AAA right now?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I should not have typed martin and my other part close together.....my bad. In any event, not a fan of their development process so far. Hoping it changes, but I have doubts.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Trading for guys is part of the pipeline. How is this not real in people's heads at this point? It's how CLE did it, for one example....
  15. Mike Sixel
    We usually agree, but that's no indictment on the coaches....it's about the player. That said, fine, keep him there this year, but let's not pretend this team works HARD to develop a guy at one position and make him great....Martin is the poster child.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think DeAndrade will be on this list by the end of the year......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Someone killed our amazing thyme plant. The temps have dropped since I planted the tomatoes. But the garlic and peas look amazing.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I did not see this coming a few weeks ago. Nice surprise.
  19. Mike Sixel
    My guess on Acuna is he's 19, and also they wanted him to start in warm weather. I would bet he's in A ball in two months.
  20. Mike Sixel
    You aren't getting that much for paddock. And likely not SWR either. But I'm not dealing Ryan for at least another year plus.
  21. Mike Sixel
    And yet, their people keep getting hired by teams. One of their people is paid by teams for his work right now. Other than emotion, what argument can you factually make for your statement?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I was very wrong about France for sure.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Mature.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Except, it comes close every year. You have better data? Anything?
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's not anti American. It's got a different message than many think though, yes.
