    Ya, it's his fault he started against the Braves and was good... Look, there is no way you just cut Gibson at this point, as some are stating. That's insane. Give him a 1 year deal, and move on with your lives. I don't see the need for a multi year deal at this point, unless it is at a ridiculous discount. Santiago? I'd non-tender him instantly. If I can sign Milone to a cheapish deal, I do that, tell him he's the long reliever, and he gets spot starts when others can't...If he wants more than $5MM, I let him walk. Escobar? I'd probably keep him around at this point. He's not pricey at all. Pressley? sure, why not at that price? Kintzler? sure, if he'll sign for under $2MM, if he wants/gets around $5MM, too much for such an unproven player. I need my new GM and manager to be on the same page, if he falters, he's cut. That leaves Plouffe...... 1. Is Sano's arm really ok? 2. Can Polanco play 3B if/when needed? 3. If the answer to both is "yes", then I non-tender him. I like Plouffe. But, it is time to clear space for Sano to play 3B full time. 4. If I think Sano's arm issues are long term...and I might move him to 1B or DH, then I think I still maybe non-tender him, but it's more of a toss up to me.

    Ok....that was funny
  3. Mike Sixel
    Uh.... Why no pinch hitter? Is Molitor awake?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Kubel? Like....injured in a collision?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, I don't think he can win by being "normal" now.....so this is his best bet, a long shot to be sure, but probably his best bet. Breitbart...omg.

    Failing early is one of the great secrets to successful companies, they limit their time and resources spent on bad ideas then. I'm not certain it totally applies to prospects, but it is why I'd rush them thru low A and high A, and have them spend more time in AA and AAA.

    Oh ya, I was drunk on those a lot in college....5 shots in one drink that doesn't taste like alcohol!

    Not once have I used the phrase Man Up, so please don't imply that in response to me. It's a BS phrase, we both know it. I also agree he should have stayed down last time......it's why I believe part of his failure so far is on the Twins FO and coaches. That's all the past now, so, What is a reasonable time line to judge the pick and their development of him?

    If that's all it was.....

    Thre is no ice tea.....5 kinds of liquor, and coke, IIRC. http://www.liicetea.com/ yup: 2 cups ice cubes 1 part vodka 1 part gin 1 part white rum 1 part white tequila 1/2 part triple sec 1/2 part sour mix 1 splash Coke Lemon wedges for garnish
  11. Mike Sixel
    Ok, this could be a great thread! Let's hope you can keep up the process...
  12. Mike Sixel
    Please, not that...
  13. Mike Sixel
    RIIIIIGHT.
  14. Mike Sixel
    How is my statement revisionist? He's been considered one of the top 5 prospects in all of the game 3 of the last 4 years. He was a predicted RoY by many..... How is it unrealistic to expect him to hit better than this by now? And, if a reasonable timeline is "there is no timeline by which we can judge this pick", well, we'll just disagree on that.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Nope, nada.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I was rebutting him being called putrid, and that he should be cut after this year. Nothing more or less than that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ugh, a long debate on the HoF.....just....ugh.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Back in my day....well, the world has changed. It is a younger man's game. What is a reasonable time line for the 2nd pick in the draft, who is considered by the Twins and most experts to be a great, great prospect, to be able to hit at all?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm shocked to learn he is now selling auto graphed baseballs and bats....shocked.

    Aren't you a bit old for a long island iced tea? Isn't that a drink for 22 year olds? Or is that a thing now?
  21. Mike Sixel
    pretty sure he's not eligible for the fall league at this point.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Gibson has 8 starts where he has given up 4 or more runs, and 8 where he has given up 3 or less runs. that's not putrid. It just isn't. It would be foolish not to sign him for next year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    By 4-5 weeks, you mean 2, right? There is no time left in AAA...
  24. Mike Sixel
    Dang, now I feel old. thanks,

    Actually, there are many reports out there saying Bush will go down as one of the worst presidents ever... As for your scenario, I think saying it is is likely that Twins have a top 10 rotation is a bit off. I'll bet you any amount of money that doesn't happen, unless they trade for 1-2 different starters. I mean, your scenario is basically, "if everything goes right, they'll be really good". Isn't that pretty much true for every single team?
