    Does anyone think Claeys has done a good job recruiting? Seriously?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Rebuild your team around Dozier? He is signed for 2 more years....and he will be over 30..... If you don't trade valuable pieces, you don't get value back. As for the SPs in the minors, NONE look like legit number 2 types. How do you propose acquiring good/great pitchers, if you won't trade for them?

    Ugh.....depressing cross post! 8-4 is fine if you actually play Michigan, OSU, and Penn State......

    I remain not a believer in this coaching team.....the recruiting just isn't cutting it. When they play the big boys next year, I doubt they win 8 games.....but I could be wrong, haven't checked the schedule. It is hard to believe that they could never find a QB better than Leidner. He just can't pass well.

    I already bought powerbeats2 sports wireless headphones.....only 90 dollars now that version 3 is out! Would like to buy an acer spin, but I haven't touched one, and I want to test the keyboard before I decide on a laptop. And, I choose peanut butter pancakes every time......

    Ah, well, then blow the **** up. Yikes, but sadly, not surprising. Sometimes I hate people.

    Are we sure McCann will catch A LOT? Plus, the Twins aren't in win now mode at all, why would you trade prospects for a DH/part time catcher?

    Really? Taking money from kids is the same as sexually abusing them? That's your argument?

    Thanks to the owners, moderators, and everyone that posts. I love this site and community.

    Apple cherry, pumpkin, egg nog, tba,tba.... My son and I made the pumpkin

    The draft screws the players. Always has, always will. It is all about keeping costs low. Secondaryily.... It allows teams to control assets.... Also bad for players
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not yet, but I recommendeded it on the binge thread
  13. Mike Sixel
    8 million per WAR just like fangraphs says.... Not counting pitch framing. Suzuki was bad at everything....
  14. Mike Sixel
    KLAW posted an insider article praising the Plouffe move.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. That Knee injury(ies?) was very sad.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Look at the ceiling rating......almost no one is projected as an ACE....the issue is, none of these guys are even 2s or 3s on this rating......
  17. Mike Sixel
    You can fix the minors, and sign FAs both......those are not either or.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hughes as the next Miller makes a lot more sense, imo,.....I want May in the rotation to start the year, and to see what happens.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I am not arguing for adding payroll....I'm arguing for adding more players that are either young, or can be flipped. Like other rebuilding teams do.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I find the Kiriloff ranking interesting, given his tool set, frankly.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It might not be "bad", but if you can't spend your way out of being bad, you need to be great at drafting and developing....not, "not bad". As I said, it is a pretty "meh" report for team that has been this bad, and traded for a "top prospect".
  22. Mike Sixel
    Great general plan. I see no chance Hughes or Perkins contributes much this year, but I think I move Hughes to the bullpen, and make him Andrew Miller....for that reason alone, I keep Santiago around. Not sure on the ESan trade, don't know much about the guy you are getting back. I agree with some above, a AAA 3B in case Sano can't play is a good idea.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not much comes of this draft, like it did back in the day......I'd pick the pitcher most likely to be a good/great RP.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Pretty tired of the "we shouldn't try to get better yet" crowd.....They should, imo, absolutely try hard for defensive catcher like Castro. They should try to sign a RP or two they can flip, or cut. They should maybe (if they trade ESan) sign a FA SP they can flip or cut. None of that blocks a young guy, unless you think they should start with Garver and Murphy at catcher this year. Every year you don't add talent is a year you don't get better. NO PLACE in this post am I implying they should be worried about the playoffs this year, or that they can spend their way to competitiveness, or any other straw man.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Sano, Kepler, Polanco....all in the system before they were bad....IMO, the system is lacking in HIGH upside prospects, given their draft position the last 5ish years. They've been picking in the top ten or so 4 of the last 5 drafts. Buxton is it, from the first round picks, isn't he? Shouldn't the system be a bit better? Kohl and Jay, two top 5-6 picks, project as number 4s.....and Gordon has questions about his ability to play SS. It isn't about post-hoc analysis yet, this is still largely about prospects, and the FV scores seem low, imo, for a team picking this high.
