    Great month for Buxton. Wow.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is playing. That is all the matters for me today (in terms of the lineup). I will refrain from commenting about how stupid it is to play Dozier in that spot (d'oh). edit: ok, I thought Dozier was hitting 2nd, so this isn't quite as bad as I thought, still not where I'd put his OBP, but not sure who I'd move in front of him right now either.

    I don't know....Grossman seems like a prospect to me. Sometimes guys develop late. I'd like to see the 4 of them play every three days, as it were, in a rotation. I'd really like to see what all 4 can do.

    I really like the idea of this thread. If I can get back to it while at home, I'll provide thoughts. Thanks to those that have contributed. Good reads.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Jay's performance so far looks pretty nice. Impressed.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, this is not how I expected to see Buxton and Kepler back. Just play him this time...... As for Arcia, I'd let Kepler play to see what you might have. Either that, or play Arcia every day, and send Max back down. One or the other.

    And they are still 2 years from being good.....and they have no excess hitters at all (that a rebuilding team would want).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not interested. The Twins' minor league system is all about pitching now. They have no young hitter that is extra, imo. No way I trade for him.

    Wow, I'm trying to defend you, and I feel you just attacked me. We are on a website dedicated to discussing how well players play, and managers manage and the FO is doing their job. If you think that's not decent, why do you own this website, exactly?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to him. great week.
  11. Mike Sixel
    What a sad little world they've created.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Plus, just because some people aren't great at their job (see AZ FO, probably).....that doesn't mean the structure is wrong/bad/evil.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Did someone just judge WS rings in under 3-4 years time?

    In some ways, they seem to be rushing a lot of things.....lots happening "fast" in the background. In some ways, some stories seem to drag and take up a lot of screen time (Arya's, for example. The Arya story could literally be another tv show at this point.......).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Very happy Rogers is up, and in the bullpen. Definitely the right role for him.

    I don't buy the whole AA is better thing. There may be more high upside guys there longer than in AAA, but there are a lot of AAAA players in AAA, guys that know how to play and have talent. I'd guess the competition is more consistently good, and has a few upside guys. Based on the data that someone shared about the top players, most play more in AAA than you'd expect.

    On topic, I agree, they should hire a President of Baseball, or whatever the old GM is now called.....yes. Agreed. No idea what that means for everyone else in the organization, but it should mean Ryan and many baseball types are replaced. Terry Ryan has done many great things for this org. I just think it is time for a new voice.

    Oh, I don't think Margery's conversion is real, but I wasn't expecting anyone else to buy it either. Not sure if the Sparrow buys it, or is just going with it. Also not sure what Margery thinks this is going to do, to help with anything, other than maybe getting out of her walk and helping her brother.
  19. Mike Sixel
    How is it good to punt 4 rounds, to pay for 1 guy? I think you underestimate the bad side of punting a pick or 4...... And, the easy fix, is to change the draft to be like the NFL draft, or to do something truly new and interesting and go to a combo FA/draft thing like I have previously suggested.
  20. Mike Sixel
    In fairness to Seth, he knows these people personally. It's pretty hard to say bad things in public about people you know.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff, thanks everyone.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I also believe in process.....but plenty of MLB players follow good process, but aren't good MLB players. Outcomes matter. They really do. Otherwise, you could hire my 18 year old and tell him what process to follow as a scout or as a sales lead, or whatever, but that wouldn't make him good at it. Process is not sufficient to judge performance.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree with all of this. Outside of baseball and the tv contract, I'm not sure how anyone can say bad things about the Twins (now that I don't live there anymore, I don't have to see the terrible ads, but I realize those ads aren't aimed at me.....). I also agree, I don't know what all he does.....so it's kind of hard to say how well he does it. I'm not sure that was the point that the poster we both are responding to made.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, they can't all go up. But, college players dominating low A......for how long? Not a fan of going slowing in low A, and then speeding thru AA and AAA. Totally the opposite of how I'd do it.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think the point, Seth, is that most people here see you defend pretty much every employee as a great.....and some wonder, then, if your opinion has much weight. OTOH, I've seen you be critical of some employees, or question them, so I'm not sure that view is completely fair. But, I think you realize you rarely say anything bad about the employees/players, despite going on a pretty bad run here lately.
