    Are we also going to look at MLB.com and all their predictions? Look, this trade MIGHT work....but not in the next year or two. And, the TWins are taking all the risk here on it being fair. One player isn't good enough right now to start for Philly, and one is in A ball (A+ as of a week or two ago).

    I'd hope they want to work on stuff with him. I was merely responding to someone who said he was on the Twins now. I think Abel has a shot to be a 3.....but he isn't one, not close (or Philly trades him for more or uses him in Philly).
  3. Mike Sixel
    On some sites, but not others......

    I don't know how to make it 1000000% more clear that I was talking about the catcher?
  5. Mike Sixel
    So much for Falvey fixing all the things to make the Twins better (and this stuff costs nothing compared to a player). I'm wanting new owners and new FO more and more every day.

    Smugness is so unbecoming.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Twins assigning Abel to AAA, not the majors.

    Here is what I don't like: 1. It doesn't help in the Lopez Ryan window (since they can't hit at all). (it actively hurts the window) 2. The Twins are taking all the risk. The top get is in A ball (just promoted to high A....). Who was dropped from Fangraphs top 100 this week (after being promoted). And, all that risk is 3 years out....the present value on this deal is awful. People really seem to be ignoring the risk factor here.

    Weren't we discussing the catchers? That's what I was talking about.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I 100 percent believe money is a huge part of the deal.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It may or may not be fair .... But it bodes very poorly for the Ryan and Lopez window unless they fix Abel. And even then, they didn't fix the actual problem of zero offense.
  12. Mike Sixel
    This tool is bad for many reasons. Would you trade Duran for 30 guys with a value of one? You also have to assume the tool is right about value. Also, Tait has zero value for three years, unless traded. Does it take into account present value? Value, as we see from contracts, is not linear.
  13. Mike Sixel
    He's 19.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Around 8 million a year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    None of those guys will be legit starters in Minnesota for at least three years ... So they still don't have any catchers, three years after overpaying for Vazquez, and won't for at least two or three more ...
  16. Mike Sixel
    Btw, someone said the Mets paid more in their deal? Strong disagree.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Tait is 19.... If you mean Abel, agreed, we don't know yet. But he better be a lot better than anyone is predicting for this to work.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They literally get guys hired by teams market every year....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Certainly one opinion, not shared by fangraphs, as neither is in their top 100.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Then don't trade him.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Btw, fangraphs removed Tait from the top 100 list this week.... So, double yuck.
  22. Mike Sixel
    How would we know who was offered? They didn't have to trade him....
  23. Mike Sixel
    It was a huge part of our retirement savings since I was there for a decade. I think we're still ok, but I'm no longer sure.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Keaschell and Culpeper are college guys who will be here this year and next, while they have Lopez and Ryan.... Tait will not.
  25. Mike Sixel
    They did not need to trade him now! More bidders in the off season! I guess I should stop....
