    A very nice list. I think a legit argument can be made for all 4, if you only look at what they contributed this year. Frankly, if May stays in the rotation and his luck evens out, I think he wins this......but he didn't.

    Houston and the Cubs are in the playoffs, I expect nothing less out of the Twins next year. They have the prospects, and they have the money. I don't think Ryan is the guy to trade from the future for the present, so I have my doubts, but we'll see. I remember a lot of people here saying that Houston was way behind the Twins....it would appear that it isn't about budget, but about committing to a rebuild, and then going in when you have the chance. Mostly, the Twins have chosen a middle path. I hope to see a commitment this off season.

    I think I read they were last in OBP as a team......that seems like it could be bad. And, no, you don't compare by batting order. You play a position, you need to compare players at positions to other players at that position. You can't sign a number three hitter, but you can sign a 1B (just an example), because you need players to play positions.

    A very nice step forward for him. Hopefully he improves a bit more next season also. He has talent, he just needs to consistently harness it.

    Uh, I think there is no reason they can't be a big time program. I also don't think Leidner is a QB on a team with that goal, nor do I think they can achieve that with him at QB. No trolling, no nothing other than me stating he's bad. And, they are in year 5, so there should be no real excuses right now, not if this coach is the guy we have been told.

    Jim Bowden of ESPN thinks he should be back.

    Fall TV

    Mike Sixel replied to DaveW's topic in The Sports Bar

    Hmmmm.....no cable, so only streaming and local tv...... Uh, Castle? My one "how the heck are you watching that" show..... We are approaching the final season of Leverage on Netflix......will probably move onto Torchwood or finish Warehouse 13 after that.....and yes, none of that is current or on topic.

    His statement is powerful in it's "my life, and my kids' life is more important than my job" way of looking at the world. Good luck to him.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Looking at what you did well and not well is the only way to improve.....

    I don't think ALL unwritten rules are stupid, it is how society largely functions. I largely think baseball's are stupid, though.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'd say he's in that tier, but I can see why he's not for many. Really, all four of those guys have been great.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Yup, didn't work. It would be cool if every poster on Twins Daily, except Brock, offered advice* *note, this is a work computer, there are limits to what I can try......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Rumor has it the A's are looking for veteran clubhouse presents* *yes, I know the difference in the spelling** **yes, it is sad I felt I had to do that

    It was a very good journey, and that's a huge step forward for this team. It was a much more fun sports summer for sure.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It would take at least 15-20 MM per year, to go past 5 years, for each year. The way salaries are going, he can expect to make around $40MM per year by the time he is in his mid to late twenties. To buy out any of that, you need to OVERPAY for the next 4 years.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think he has a real shot to be in Washington, and if unlike Matt he can not cost the team more losses than most managers in all of baseball, they should be in the playoffs next year for sure.
  17. Mike Sixel
    If Esco can put up 2-3 WAR next year and the year after.....as a SS, that will really help solidify this roster. A team w/few weaknesses and a couple of super stars is a winning team. Esco, imo, is part of that future the next 2 years. Now we need Buxton and Hicks to get to that consistent level, where the Twins don't need to worry about them. That is when they should go get the final piece or two (like, imo, next yaer).

    Isn't this what we should want, other countries stepping up to fight ISIL/ISIS? I for one, if this is what Russia is doing, endorse their decision to engage ISIS/ISIL.

    So, what I mean is, when I am typing in this box, everything is not available. Oddly, when I go to Vikings Journal, everything is available to me.......still looking for some setting that I must have pushed....

    from that article: "fewer than 5 percent of the 120,000 gun-related killings ... were perpetrated by people diagnosed with mental illness,” according to a February article in the American Journal of Public Health. " So, ya, it's not all about that.....

    I'd consider giving up Buxton for Harvey, but only if they are convinced Kepler is the real deal. I wouldn't like watching Buxton play elite CF defense for NY, but it would be great to have a legit Ace type here. I don't think Harvey is being dealt. I think the original proposal might also be fair, but I'm not sure. All of those specific deals look like they could be real trades.

    Plouffe is a much harder choice for me than Escobar..... I have no idea if Sano can play 3B, and also keep his legs healthy while playing in the field (two different thoughts there.....). Plouffe is a nice player, but I don't think you extend him. I would trade Trevor under the correct conditions: 1. You are pretty sure Sano can play the field. 2. You have a decent backup for Sano, just in case. (that is not Danny S, btw). 3. You get a MLB catcher, or close to the majors catcher, or you get a real stud SP prospect (though that makes me nervous, see Span for Meyer for why).

    I think the mods here are generally great. I think that sometimes a certain segment is allowed to talk about other posters too much, and not about the posters' posts. But, that's a small nit generally. I wouldn't come back if I didn't like how the site was run, and clearly I keep coming back.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Nope, I can't see anything that is Twitter related. Makes almost every post by the main mod on Vikings Journal useless at work. Of course, I could just read this at home more.......
  25. Mike Sixel
    I would wait one more year, one more year is not going to make his rate excessive, imo. That said, he is an undervalued player, but Molitor and the fans. I think he's a legit MLB SS, and they should start him there all of next year. I don't want Danny Santana anywhere near SS next year.
