    Wow...is no twins fan working today? Daniel Palka...any chance of being even a solid starting big leaguer, or just a 4-A type of player? Klaw I think he's an up and down guy or bench player.

    Ouch....From klawchat When do we shift our expectations for what Buxton will be? Which isn't a way of saying we should now, but rather, how many more seasons like this before we settle on "rich man's Rajai Davis"; 2? 3? Klaw.... I'd like to see him get an opportunity to play in another regime, in Minnesota or elsewhere, before I walk away from the immense natural talent here.

    From klawchat.... Cleveland is looking at the Twins Nunez. Would Mike Clevinger be enough for him? Probably a low floor but should be a starter with 6 years of control. Twins need pitching and we won't miss him. Klaw All-Star Eduardo Nunez! ... who is hitting .269/.295/.394 since june 1st, because he's not very good and my word cannot play shortstop. Take whatever you can get.

    From Klawchat.... Why is Jose Berrios still in AAA? Duffey was destroyed by Atlanta last night while Berrios had another QS in AAA. Klaw.... I don't know. Their handling of Berrios has been baffling. Their handling of Buxton has been baffling. They are baffling.

    From klawchat....I asked... Would you rather have Kyle Gibson or Shelby Miller going forward? Klaw... Miller. I'd absolutely see if the Dbacks would sell low on him now, try to reestablish his 2015 delivery, and recapture his value.

    From Eno's chat today: mike sixel 1:35 In real life.....Kyle Gibson or Shelby Miller for the remainder of their deals? Eno Sarris 1:35 Kyle Gibson has been improving his swinging strike and strikeout stuff, shhh nobody noticing.
  7. Mike Sixel
    at least two more coming soon, including his thought on Gibson vs Miller...... I also asked Eno Sarris.....he answered differently....
  8. Mike Sixel
    BTW.....I just asked KLAW....Miller or Gibson .....he said Miller. Will copy and paste to FG thread soon...

    From klawchat today.... Molitor is out of touch writing a line up and his love of bunting and playing gritty, hard nose players that aren't any good(D. Santana). Last night down by 2 with 2 on in the 8th and no outs, he has their hottest hitter this year (Nunez) bunt and it didn't turn out(surprise, surprise). The Pohlads scared off all potential GM candidates by saying Molitor is the manager in 2017. Why did they do that? I don't think he will work with the young ones. Will you please take the job, Keith? They need a complete house cleaning, don't you think? Thanks!!! Klaw..... I don't understand why owners do this with their managers. The GM should have full autonomy to hire the manager he thinks is right for the job - and in Molitor's case and in Counsell's case in Milwaukee the evidence we have before us said that those guys were NOT right for the job. If I were GM there, I'd hire a manager who has actually managed somewhere before in pro ball. Novel concept, I know, but I'm way out the box like that.

    Not exactly awe inspiring in its ability to help next year......but, hey, playoffs baby!
  11. Mike Sixel
    For those that are big into scouting.....and not advanced stats....it is hard to make the case a 2 pitcher pitcher is a starter.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Attendance is pretty much locked in for next year based on this year's results. It has virtually nothing ot do with the going in roster. There is plenty of research on the internet on this. Even if you thought it mattered.....is Ervin Santana putting butts in seats? welcome to the site, keep posting!
  13. Mike Sixel
    That was my point above.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well, you lower education spending, and keep saying stuff......we know from history that works....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Rebuilding teams trade Santana.....successfully. Not "we didn't like any of the offers", not any excuse. Teams that refuse to face reality keep Santana, and well, aren't really rebuilding at all.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Today we have an interview with Gibson: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kyle-gibson-on-his-best-outing-of-the-season/

    Like him or not, AJ is tough, and AJ keeps on playing.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Meaning what for 2018 and beyond? They aren't winning the WS next year......Also, former players can be a bit off on their recollection of the facts at times.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea. Either way, coming into a thread to say, so talking about this, is silly and rude, imp.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Of course I do.....doesn't mean I have to endorse having Chargois in the minors, and three LHP in the bullpen, does it? And, why wait? Why is Duffey here, and not Berrios? Why isn't there room for Chargois?
  21. Mike Sixel
    If the Dems don't focus on the stuff that is really broken, in an emotionally connected way, lots of people will be thinking about moving...
  22. Mike Sixel
    It was one I thought about gambling on last week, but I hadn't had time to look at it. oh well, opportunity lost.
  23. Mike Sixel
    How have the Astros managed to get over all the losing? "losing culture".....isn't that just code for "bad players on the team"?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Other than Chargois and Berrios sitting in AAA.....yes, it does matter.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Funny, there are about 10 new members this week, from what I can tell on other threads. Maybe not everyone has talked about it enough. Who gets to decide when it is enough?
