    You'll have to give up a lot to get someone that has years of control and no question marks. Like, a lot......a ridiculous a lot. Would you give up the top 2-3 prospects for a decent, but not great, catcher?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Funny, before I opened it I knew the first two would be there........
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why they exposed Gilmartin, only to keep guys on the 40 man they won't call up........is baffling, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Just because other bad things are happening does not mean you can't be "upset" about this bad thing. the world doesn't work that way.
  5. Mike Sixel
    They may also have taken Reyes because they think he can play SS right now....and they don't want to totally lose the casual fan.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Uh, he brought all those guys in, or retained them, at the beginning of the year. No one else did that. If everyone knew this might/would be a problem.......how is it a free pass that it is now a problem?
  7. Mike Sixel
    so, basically, an appeal to authority. We should not question their judgment. That's your argument here.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    They had just lost 90 games, and made the trade.....but somehow people think that team is ready to compete, but this team (5 games up in the WC a few days ago) is not..... Jim, will this offseason be the time, or do we need to wait at least 1 more year before the Twins' trade prospects for MLB players?
  9. Mike Sixel
    so Ryan knew Stauffer, Boyer, duensing, et. al. were not good, and still went with them? Is that your argument?
  10. Mike Sixel
    so might Terry, since, as we know, he's never gone big on a trade. He's never signed an ELITE player to a huge contract. he's never signed a Cuban FA. It's a pattern, not a one time thing.
  11. Mike Sixel
    yes. If you are one of the 5-10 worst players at your position, replacing you cannot result in worse outcomes. that's the theory. to me, it is clear Boyer is not a legit MLB RP. What harm can it do to try something else? I know others don't agree, but Duensing is in the same boat, imo. What I really don't get is not using May in situations that matter. I also don't get their use of Graham.
  12. Mike Sixel
    TR losing his job? hahahahahahahahaha
  13. Mike Sixel
    Duffey, imo, should have been up here as a RP a month or two ago. Achter and Oliveras got no shot. That's fine, if they think they are terrible, but then why are they protected on the 40 man roster, if they won't ever bring them up? Big whoop, they cut Stauffer and tried a couple guys. That doesn't mean you stop trying guys.......and if Ryan thought Burdi was going to be up, maybe they should not have changed his approach, and just let him be. I was unaware O'Rourke had failed already. And dang, that Meyer failure is looking really bad right now and very disappointing. Tonkin was up for how long? How much of a shot did he get? Again, if they won't really give him a real shot, why is he on the 40 man? And, Thompson? He's not Rogers or Duffey.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Pelfrey is not now a MLB quality SP. 2010 was his last truly good year. 2010........the Twins need to get over themselves, and put May in the rotation (or Berrios).
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm with you all the way. This team seems to be all about not losing, rather than about winning. I am pretty sure I wouldn't be a fan of this team if I wasn't raised here.......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Brock is right....they punted on trying internal options the last two months, now they are in a bit of a corner. At this point, I might punt on this season though. They've given away almost all their banked wins now.....given them away.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I admit I didn't think this would happen this year.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Why , why, why? What is the deal with this team's obsession with not trusting young pitchers, but going all in on young hitters? Just. Awful. Managing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    You mean doing nothing, or dumpster diving, or going big?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Self. Fulfilling. Prophecy. Trevor May must have really done something bad.........
  21. Mike Sixel
    St Louis Park to Portland.
  22. Mike Sixel
    She is a saint. Willing to pack up and move out west this fall.
  23. Mike Sixel
    They don't trust young pitchers......and yes, it is time.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Loser, and there is a pretty big distinction between hunting a soon to be extinct animal, and cattle and pigs.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I am not sure about that. Mostly guys don't work out. What most of us want is Santana in the minors, not given up on.
