    If that was his plan, it didn't work out at all. But, there is very little indication this FO believes in young pitchers in the bullpen. Heck, May is rotting away, as is Graham, despite both being successful/good. If he thought those guys were going to be good this year, and they aren't........isn't that a failure of his plan and assessment of those guys?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Ryan didn't really say he'd do Ramos for Capps, did he? come on, now you are just trying to rile me up.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I remember ripping the Twins for their international signings, and someone offering Hu as an example of how awesome they are at signing international players......this just happened this year on this board.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    for some of us, it isn't that the deal is a ripoff......it's that it could have been done earlier (since it isn't an elite, in demand guy), and that it isn't really a difference maker. It's another in long line of non-move moves. I could be wrong, maybe he'll dominate.....but does anyone think this moves the dial on the Twins' odds for this year? Do we really think he's worth $5MM next year, or that they could find a RP for $5MM next year just as good, and not have given up lottery tickets? If he had maybe not relied on this bullpen in the first place, and succeeded at having more than 1 good RP.......
  5. Mike Sixel
    I agree.....but just because I think the price for a 1999 Mitsubishi Gallant is fair doesn't mean I should buy one if I can afford an actual car......
  6. Mike Sixel
    Got it, thanks for clarifying. I don't consider Kepler untouchable at all, I'd just want a C or SS or controlled elite RP in return.* Otherwise, I'd rather keep him. I get your point on finding a veteran FA OF, I don't trust Ryan to find a good one. *in some package, not implying Kepler by himself can fix those holes.....

    Admittedly, this is not the Simpson's TR introduces his newest acquisition: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://bearingdrift.com/wp-content/uploads/majorannouncement-300x197.gif&imgrefurl=http://bearingdrift.com/2010/09/14/tim-kaine-its-a-major-award/&h=197&w=300&tbnid=VT6LsuNonlKitM:&docid=MVU-yo46Ld6teM&ei=cNS7Vc2CCsHWeMiuqbgP&tbm=isch&ved=0CCEQMygAMABqFQoTCM36sfKUhscCFUErHgodSFcK9w

    I think it is amusing that those that usually defend TR for NOT TRADING prospects are now typing "prospects never work out anyway".....does no one else see the irony in this?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Are they a good team? Does this really make a difference for them?
  10. Mike Sixel
    It's not a GOOD trade.....does anyone think, now that they waited this long, that this matters this year? I don't "hate" TR.....doesn't mean I want him to be GM.
  11. Mike Sixel
    ???? Jays are mostly acquiring long term assets back....mostly, not totally. The Astros are filled with young guys, this isn't some aging team.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Tulo is around for several years. They just traded for one of the best 3B in the league, who will be there for years. They just signed the best catcher in FA, who will be around for years. I think you are underestimating them......
  13. Mike Sixel
    On the plus side, no more stupid Hu jokes in a week or so.......which is something I demanded a few weeks ago on a Hu thread.
  14. Mike Sixel
    For me it is also clearly Ryan fatigue....... I also doubt Hu is ever a great MLB pitcher, or even good.........but I really am tired of this being what we get, and not a good player, or a great player. Also, not sure why anyone is happy they have to pay this guy real money next year to be a replacement level guy that blocks Duffy and Rogers and Burdi and Meyer and every other young RP option.
  15. Mike Sixel
    dude is replacement level......some of us would like the Twins to go get GOOD or better players. Go get GOOD players. I don't get the aversion to young pitchers in the bullpen, but they clearly have one.
  16. Mike Sixel
    And no other good RP was available?
  17. Mike Sixel
    No, we are acting like the Twins traded 2 prospects for a replacement level RP....... TR said he was going to "try" to improve the team. Is this like Butera trying to hit a MLB pitch?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Brock, gotta raise the quota on votes today. I can't like all these posts bashing the trade anymore!
  19. Mike Sixel
    he's replacement level, not average....
  20. Mike Sixel
    They traded Hu for this guy? What. The F? Just call up Duffey or Berrios or use May. Awful trade.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Primetime beats me to it! I'm sure Brock just forgot about him. Not a fan of the trade. Definition of mediocre.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Why not just use May, or call up Duffey or Berrios?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Berrios and Gonsalves? Achter and Tonkin?
  24. Mike Sixel
    This saves them the trouble of having to sign him to a 2 year extension next year, like all the other pitchers they acquire....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd fire Ryan in about 1 second if he dealt Arcia for this guy.
