    This isn't about one game, I am asking when/if we can expect them to be more than the 5th best team, a team that beats the bad teams, but doesn't win the games against good team..... It's too bad we can't talk about the gophers and what we want to see, and have to talk about me.....like Ben did. He actually talked about the team, and I appreciate that. Ben, how much better do you expect the OL to be this year, I haven't had a chance to look at that at all yet?

    I agree, it takes time....it is year 5....how many years until we can expect them to be one of the 2-3 best big # teams occasionally, not to lose bowl games they are favored in, and to win games against winning teams not just the dregs? If we shouldn't judge a coach on Wins and Losses.....how should we? When he gets a QB, they will have a chance, but so far, there is no evidence he can get a QB, so far.
  3. Mike Sixel
    so really, he stayed in his budget again, right? As for the draft, the best thing Ryan ever did for the draft was making sure the team was awful for 4 years in a row, so they got earlier picks.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I have no faith that this team will beat good teams consistently, or win any bowl game. There just isn't evidence it is happening. Kill got them respectable again, I guess that's worth $2.5MM a year now. Another year where they beat up on the bad teams, but no cookie at the end.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Do they even know he wasn't in charge when Sano was signed?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Pure gold.
  7. Mike Sixel
    No concern for Duffey and his innings?
  8. Mike Sixel
    nope. Ok, I admit, I am concerned for this year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I admit to re-thinking my steadfast support of Buxton.....* *let's see if that works
  10. Mike Sixel
    I am trying to give Smith credit, but like I said, doing that doesn't work here.
  11. Mike Sixel
    The GM does not run the draft, the head scout does.
  12. Mike Sixel
    that last sentence is the crux for me.....are they really trying to win this year, or not? Sure, if they really think his arm is about to fall off, shut him down. But, he is getting another start in Rochester then, so they can't think he's at or close to his limit, surely they wouldn't risk injury for a meaningless AAA start. I believe, and I think others who know more about baseball than me believe, they are not going for it this year, and they are worried about 2021 and 2022. That's their right, of course, but no one is required to be happy about that.
  13. Mike Sixel
    June time frame, pretty sure of that. It's hard to see how they clear a path for him to start any earlier than that w/o several injuries. As for May......yes, it would be a waste to put a potential number 2/3 starter in the bullpen imo. And, it would be terrible for May, tens of millions down the drain. I know how I'd feel about that when I had a chance to leave....
  14. Mike Sixel
    They weren't keeping Hunter or Santana, even if he keeps them for comp picks. The Garza trade was inexcusable, but other than that......what difference could he have made to that roster? Like I said, no matter what, people think Smith is accountable for that awful lineup.
  15. Mike Sixel
    we aren't 100% sure it was exactly 4MM, it might have been low enough to keep them under the MLB approved budget. We'll find out in a few months or so. And, if he did go over budget, but only did it for 1 player, that's a really, really, really bad way to do it, imo. If you are going over, you have to go over for 2-4 players, since you are penalized next year for going over.......let's hope they are just under, or have a deal worked out with guys that can't yet sign that look elite......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Win Twins......just drove back to the office, so don't know what the Bomb was.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    If it takes 4 years for players to make the majors, and the team sucked under a GM that was here for 4 years.......is the lack of good players on him, or the previous GM? Just curious....
  18. Mike Sixel
    The argument being made by some is that he is not ready for the majors. I assume, then, he will need plenty of time next year to get ready. Your argument is that it is all about control, which is a different discussion.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great month for those guys! Thanks for all the work Seth.
  20. Mike Sixel
    So you don't think Berrios is good enough to help the team right now? Is that the argument? What would make him ready next spring, if they shut him down between now and then? I'd guess if you don't think he's good enough now, you'll be posting he needs 3+ months next year to get ready, correct?
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's a gamble to bring him up next year, would you keep waiting? Would you never gamble? I don't understand your point......he's supposed to be SO GOOD that we should worry about control in 2022, but we can't think he's one of the 15 best pitchers right now? Really?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Is there any actual evidence having him pitch this year hurts any year, other than maybe 2022 and beyond? If they don't sign him or trade him or whatever?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good luck with this thread......I've been beating that drum for a while now, and people won't do it. They love Kepler and Polanco too, the only time the Twins have really gone way over and spent money, and somehow they think that is a coincidence that they did it when Ryan was not GM.
  24. Mike Sixel
    What about the former MLB FO people on Fangrapahs who don't agree? What about others on other sites, wondering.......this is 100% an appeal to authority, an attempt to say we shouldn't question the FO. Look, this is about 2022, just like his last tenure, it's all about the future. Half the posts here are "they are the experts, who are you to question them".....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Awfully confident about the roster in 2022, I see.....
