    Ah, got it. I agree......the opinion is wrong, I have no issue with the trade, other than they are aiming low again. But, sometimes that's the only target available I guess.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Opening day roster is the roster for 6 weeks or so....how many games do inferior SP start in 6 weeks? Yes, depth is important, but the issue is that the old guys w/o options aren't very good, and the young guys might be quite good. I'd rather have less depth, and quality, than mediocre starters, with quality sitting in AAA adding no value to the MLB roster. When do Berrios and Duffey come up if no one is hurt for long, and the other two are "adequate" but not good? Even if someone is hurt for a week, the guy that comes up is sent right back down in your scenario, right? The team you's listed looks pretty "meh" to me. One elite player, 4 years into a rebuild (who was already in they system). one. One very good player at 2B (who was already in the system). No great SP, no great RP.

    so, we should not discuss any of their off season moves until the season plays out?

    http://espn.go.com/blog/the-gms-office/insider/post?id=11907 C+ The Twins added a potential impact power bat in Park, who is expected to be their full-time designated hitter as they move Miguel Sano to one of the outfield corners. Murphy, picked up from the Yankees for Aaron Hicks, should eventually be their long-term solution at catcher.
  5. Mike Sixel
    One advantage for the Twins, no Pirates or Cardinals in their division.
  6. Mike Sixel
    How is Sano being jerked around? By maybe moving to the OF? Position changes happen all the time, even with elite players.
  7. Mike Sixel
    There was nothing subtle .... I prefer what the Cubs are doing, even before this last signing.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Did I even mention anyone's name? The rebuilds are done from the FO, to the minor league staff, to the field staff in the majors. Out of curiosity, why would you rank the Twins as the best rebuild so far? do you expect them to be more successful than the cubs for the next 5 years? Or the Astros?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Punto was a good defender at multiple positions. Why do we think Santana will be?
  10. Mike Sixel
    so, don't try to get better next year? Or do try to add players to the team? Why does giving up players AND money make more sense than giving up money?
  11. Mike Sixel
    how should I judge the rebuilds in Houston, MN, and Chicago? It would also be cool if we could, you now, talk w/o being jerks, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    they were ahead before all that, right?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Looks like the Cubs are signing Heyward. Anyone still want to argue about which team is going to come out ahead in their rebuilds?
  14. Mike Sixel
    There should be a "this is true, but I don't like it" button I can push for this post.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm not saying anything about this deal, in particular, Brock.....like I said earlier, I don't think this matters much. But, it is a trend, imo, that we saw last year also.
  16. Mike Sixel
    You really think they'll have 2 rookies in the bullpen to start the year? And why wasn't Rogers up last year, if he's ready this year?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Was he? Huh, I thought they were moving him to 3B full time. Apologies if I'm wrong. Trea Turner should be their SS next year.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Every FA is overpaid......if you wan't overpay, you won't play. That will greatly constrict your ability to improve your team.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm with Nick and chief and dave on this part.......I'd like to see them bet on upside more, and stop trying to plan for the worst, safest, path. It appears that they do that a lot (not always, btw).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, I don't think he was a bad starter.....but others might think he is.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The Nationals have a 3B.....the Nationals have a 3B. I don't think they are trading for Plouffe.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No RP they sign is going to stop them signing those guys you list. That's a super big exaggeration. NONE of them need to be signed in the next 5 years, let alone a few "extra" million going to a RP for 2-3 years making any difference. That's not much of an argument at all. There are other good arguments..... If the plan is to really go with youth, I'm ok with that. But, I have a question: Now, Rogers didn't come up in September....how is he magically ready now? None of those guys came up in September, what will have changed between then and April to make them ready? If they didn't think they were ready then, why would they think they are ready now.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't have an issue with the trade. I would have liked to aim higher, but I can understand why they didn't.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Isn't Rendon their 3B now?
  25. Mike Sixel
    In the last 10 years........that's what I asked, right?
