Dozier Lone Twins Gold Glove Candidate
Mike Sixel replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Worst award in baseball, in terms of deserving candidates winning it? -
I love him as a person and a player.....but 34 year old role players that play the same position as the one player you can't move? Not a fan of the idea. I wouldn't kill them for it, I just wouldn't do it.
-
See, this time I think I got it......
-
Not really much of a fan, but if Rubio shoots like that, that would make this team quite good.
-
Can someone explain why adding a bad fielding OF that isn't hitting well is a good idea?
-
Uh, didn't he acquire all those prospects in the first place? Where would they be this year w/o those trades and FA acquisitions? It's easy to say the trade with the Mets was bad.....what about all the good stuff?
-
Molitor thinks Danny Santana is a MLB hitter and SS......so I'll take that opinion with a grain of salt.

Aren't cat always either offended or indifferent? My oldest son loves cats, and they love him. Probably my one disappointment....
-
Not a cat guy.....but for today I won't say bad things aboutt them, I guess.
-
I'd want them to win it on the road......that's what I'd want. I think.
-
I like this part of the list for its "they could be so AWESOME, or maybe no" aspects. I do think Polanco will be a 2B for someone in the majors, for multiple years. I do think Burdi will succeed in the majors for some years. Stewart? No idea. Gonsalves has a chance to be good, or maybe not. ABWIII......lots of virtual ink has been spilled on him. If he could just learn to walk.....

Robinson, Thompson, Fryer Outrighted
Mike Sixel replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I thought I read that Zobrist will stay with the team.....which I would never do, but everyone is different. -
That interview, man, that was touching/emotional/jarring. The young men that got to follow him were probably very luck to do so. You can hear why his coaches stayed with him every step.
-
Ya, I don't see any near term future where universities become fixated on being universities, but a guy can dream..... And, it really is sad news about Kill. I may not have believed he could take them to the next level, but he sure seems like a genuinely good guy.
-
Especially since the owner says he doesn't like long term deals. Doing one for a 30 year old seems even less likely than doing one for Sano.
-
Our opinions aren't problems for the Twins or their fans, the Twins not developing pitchers is, however, a problem for the Twins and their fans. ANY ONE of us could have traded Span for a MILB pitcher. The Twins need to be judged on how well they made that trade, because anyone can follow the process of trading for prospects, but successful teams pick the RIGHT prospects. This delta between following a process, and doing so successfully, seems to be a point of some confusion on these boards. I can follow the process for trying to hit a baseball (as could Drew Butera), doesn't mean it should be my job.

ah, I thought you were reading that into the article.....if he said in interviews what you are saying he said....idiot. Too bad, I think his article has a tiny bit of merit, even if it is not well researched. OTOH, it is hardly "news" that "leader hires people he knows to report to him".....
-
No, that is not the logical conclusion at all imo. You are reading into it for some reason. I'll try again..... It appears there are more minorities in baseball as a percent, than go to most colleges in general. That could be wrong, but that's my perception. It could be that less minorities apply to those schools, and it is selection bias. It could be about 1000000000 things other than what you are reading into it. There is no implication at all, imo, that they aren't smart enough to get into elite schools.
-
Ready for blasphemy? I would love the u to get out of athletics, and run this place like schools in the rest of the world.
-
I had hoped so, but so hard to tell......you don't generally get all heated, so I was pretty sure.
-
I also don't get the desire to trade a young, "high value" player at this point in the team's lifecycle of competitiveness.
-
I predict he gets 3/30ish from someone, and I predict he ends up worth it. I don't think those years will be spent in MN. IF they plan to deal Rosario and Hicks both, I would not be opposed.....but that seems unlikely.
-
I refuse to acknowledge Colin's existence, this thread is invisible to me.
-
Arcia and placeholder veteran on a bounce back type deal, that's my guess. I actually would not be opposed to Sano in the OF, but I think I'd try him at 3B first.
-
And yes, truffles is what I want to find....
