    Right, they could go well, I just wouldn't bet any money they do go well right away. This pitching is really, really, really bad. I do think Berrios is a lot closer to league average next year than worst pitcher ever.....that will help.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I have't listened, but according to Twitter....the buster olney podcast with KLAW features decent bit of Twins' discussion....
  3. Mike Sixel
    do you actually think Levi thinks that?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think we disagree on next year mattering much.....I have zero expectation they are good next year. So, not replacing Santana with an equal player next year? Don't care. I care if that player(s) is better in 18 and beyond.

    From what I read online.....winter trades return more than summer trades, but maybe that's not right.... I agree with the watcher of birds....things look bleak for at least the first half of next year. Maybe longer.

    Wow, this is a tough one....... Locks for me: Chargois Rogers Older guys I'd keep around, probably, though with short leashes: Kintzler Pressley Guys I think should move up from the minors and be semi locks: Hildenberger Reed I'd consider having Wimmers be the long guy, but frankly, not sure why that isn't Milone's job....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I admit to being surprised that the comments have been clean so far.....not in a good or bad way, just is.

    white chocolate is an abomination on the world.
  9. Mike Sixel
    so glad I am on mute on this call...
  10. Mike Sixel
    take out "financial institution" insert: energy company auto maker pharmaceutical pretty much any big business.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Can't watch that at work, but if I am guessing, it is a Borg....switching to phone.... edit: good thing I didn't bet on that guess!
  12. Mike Sixel
    I think I was right....too weak to resist.....I am going to try harder.
  13. Mike Sixel
    there is no realistic path from here to a playoff spot, I guess, imo, we are now arguing semantics. Is a playoff path realistic at all, in your opinion? say, even 25%?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Any roster that doesn't have Berrios in the rotation on day one, I don't get. What is he learning in AAA at this point? They let Viola sink, then swim....
  15. Mike Sixel
    No one said impossible....but how should you PLAN......that's the question. Seriously good straw man though.
  16. Mike Sixel
    only if you assume they don't get better. I think this is a pretty weak argument.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They are losing 85-90 games, does it really matter? Isn't 2018 and beyond more important?
  18. Mike Sixel
    There are no FA pitchers available, you can erase that. no one is trading a MLB starter for Dozier, not that has more than 1-2 years left on his "goodness".
  19. Mike Sixel
    Easier than finding SPs, yes. I do. though, yes, I am skeptical....very skeptical. I see no path to enough SPs next year, hence I would try something completely different and see if it works. But only if I was a new GM, because any GM at risk of losing her job could never try something this off the wall.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, I did lay this out once, I'll see if I can find it. You need less pitchers than you'd think, and mediocre RPs going thru a lineup one time are A LOT more effective than bad SPs doing it three times.... I also think I had 3 "real" starters in that document. If I find it, or not, I may post it as a new thread. I see no good path to 5 good SPs in MN next year, let alone the 7 you need to make thru the year (heck, not sure I see a good path to 3 or 4).
  21. Mike Sixel
    well, that wasn't helpful: mike sixel 12:02 welcome to OR. It's great out here.....What kind of package could Dozier gather for the Twins, who if it weren't for the Reds might have the worst SP right now? Dave Cameron 12:03 It's hard to tell. He's an excellent player, but he's so unusual that I'm not sure that teams will project this level of production to continue.
  22. Mike Sixel
    why? Teams send players to AAA all the time. If you have terrible starters, you should be open to trying something else. I predict that eventually a team will do this....
  23. Mike Sixel
    He's mentioned Wade a couple times, iirc.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Just so you know, I try to get all that here..... http://twinsdaily.com/topic/22213-fangraphs-and-other-national-publications-on-the-twins/page-30 but yes, that was good news.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I have previously suggested something similar, for real. 1. Santana starts 2. Berrios starts 3-5.....start guys for 1-2 times thru the rotation, then bring in the next guys, then the next guys. Rotate people up and down from AAA every few weeks. Duffey for 9-18 hitters, then May, then regular bullpen. These guys would go every 3-4 days, and you'd need about 8 of them. That's why you'd need to rotate thru AAA.....
