    I think that's about space on teh roster, I hope....hope....

    A ranking of all the prospects traded yesterday.....Meyer isn't exactly near the top.... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/ranking-the-prospects-traded-at-the-deadline/

    IME, it is more fun to date other people......ymmv, of course.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I had reasonably high hopes.....he's exceeded those so far.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It makes it even funnier, doesn't it?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Another look at it: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/twins-and-angels-swap-throwers-meyer-and-busenitz/
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. On both counts.
  8. Mike Sixel
    It was a great day for both of them.......for sure. I've been on the Max train (ha, in Portland the Max is the mass transit) since day one......
  9. Mike Sixel
    We might not care about the money.....but the GM and owners do. I can't fault them for giving themselves the flexibility of getting out of some of that money if they want........ So, ya, a DFA might have been nice......and Meyer might surprise us all.....but was that likely here, in MN?

    Nothing worse for consumers who value quality over price than for your favorite small company to be gobbled up.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Still a thing.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Detroit has a 46% chance at the playoffs (FG)....and did nothing. They must have NOTHING left in the minors to trade?
  13. Mike Sixel
    TX is not messing around, though I'd have liked to see them get another SP if I was a fan.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    IMO, much better defense than Harper, and not as good on offense.......All of my opinions are based on reading about him, and looking at stats though...so who knows.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The Angels have the worst farm system in baseball.....they need all the flyers they can get. It cost them nothing, really.....since they aren't catching TX or Houston this year, and probably not next year.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think that is the plan, right now........but who knows?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Mauer can "void" any claim if he doesn't want to go, is my understanding from perusing the internet just now......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Beast might be over statement.....but yes, I think Berrios' start was more important than 1 game from a guy most of us believe in, and who has shown MLB success.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Hey, we agree, they messed up in how they used Meyer.....but the question is, on August 1, what should they do with the players they have? Me? I think what they did do worked. I think Santiago pitches really well here, or is not on the roster next year, and Meija (sp?) is your 5th starter, or some flyer FA. And while that 9MM or whatever doesn't help us, if I'm the owner, I appreciate that 9MM.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I'd like May to be a SP.....so that's 1. I don't think any AA starter will be starting for the Twins in April of next year......or May of next year, nor June of next year. After that, maybe. It is also possible Meija is ready early next year (which let's hope he is, as SPs get hurt a lot.....).

    Adult coloring books are like meditation for some......and stress for some..... My wife LOVES ice cream, definitely her weakness. I like it, and if she is eating some, I'll have some, but I never pull it out of the freezer myself.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That's a good question, and one that some people raised after the trade was made.....but is not relevant to "what should the Twins do now?".
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious.....who do you think in AAA or the MLB roster is better than Santiago, based on outcomes? Santana Gibson Berrios ???? Duffey? Milone? Dean?
  24. Mike Sixel
    About half the posts don't mention Meyer.....they rip on Santiago....... I loved Meyer....but he's pitched a combined, what, 100 innings or so the last two years, maybe? He's not young, he's super tall, and the Twins had clearly soured on him. I would imagine he had to be on the 25 man roster next year.........would you keep him on the 25 man roster next year?
  25. Mike Sixel
    After years, though......some pitchers clearly outperform their FIP, and some underperform.......FIP isn't like gravity or sunshine......... I cannot understand how anyone can look at this trade, and not think, wow, Antony got rid of Nolasco, and got something back in return.....
