    Both encouraging and depressing at the same time. But, the trend is the right way, that's the key.

    Mostly the minors have been built on the back of not winning at the MLB level....plus May and Meyer. It's not like the FO has made a lot of trades to improve the minors, or signed Cubans, or went way over international budget. They've largely continued the build of the minors by losing......

    Offensive remark he can't recover from? hahahahahha. Ya, I don't think that will stop him. Lack of any plan might.
  4. Mike Sixel
    which is a perfectly fine reason to do so. Wish they would have done that earlier, but I'm glad they are doing it now, even if I don't agree with every move (or, the combination of moves). They are trying more, imo, to be good.
  5. Mike Sixel
    if those are my options, 3 all the way. I have no interest in Weiters right now.

    101 wRC+
  7. Mike Sixel
    I noticed that. It's almost like one is playing, an the other is a cardboard cut out.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Isn't there a balance between never trading real prospects for rentals, and trading some?
  9. Mike Sixel
    In looking at Hicks' monthly splits this year, it's hard to believe it is actually the same human being in July as the other months this year........
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but not everyone thinks they are competitors this year or next, not for real anyway.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Lucroy makes it a lot more likely they are in the playoffs in the first place.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Funny, when McPhail was the GM, they had no issue spending money in the dome.....so it can't JUST be the new stadium.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Because people keep typing not to trade prospects for guys that can help the next 1-3 years, because they won't compete until 2017/8. Hence the first part of the post....
  14. Mike Sixel
    people are typing in other threads they won't be serious contenders for 2-3 more years......why keep him then? Why not trade for someone that will be good then, not now or next year? Or, maybe you can keep Perkins, and try to build a better team around him while he's still elite?
  15. Mike Sixel
    They've don't it before.....according to some players.
  16. Mike Sixel
    So, for those that think they can't compete this year, and will be borderline next year, why not trade Perkins at this point? If you do think they can compete this year or next, what would it take for you to deal Perkins at this point?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I can't wait for his retirement/trade. It's gone beyond boring for me at this point.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    That's why you have to look at the whole team, not just 1-2 spots, not to mention luck and other stuff. Given the Twins current construction, they could really use upgrades in a few areas
  19. Mike Sixel
    You just can't trade a guy you just signed.......unless he somehow comes out and asks for a trade publicly. It will just discourage other FAs from signing. I was wrong to rip the Twins for not trading Willingham right away. 100% wrong.
  20. Mike Sixel
    True, but you are judged on success or failure. It is one of the great things about sports compared to much of the rest of the world......
  21. Mike Sixel
    my complaint is that they've spent 3 years drafting, trading for, and signing guys, and this is the bullpen they have.......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Careful, you guys seem to be questioning THE PLAN.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    3rd time thru the lineup=bad results, even for good pitchers, let alone marginal ones........it's why other teams are building great bullpens, they've figured that out.
  24. Mike Sixel
    If in 3 years mauer accumulates more WAR than guys that we want to play for the next 8.....that's either Mauer being AWESOME, or really, really bad news, imo. Buxton Sano Dozier big giant gap everyone else, probably if only looking at upside......Kepler or Plouffe
  25. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, there were a lot of base runners on, in scoring position, with less than 2 outs when Gibson left the game, you'd expect a decent number of them to score...... But it sure would be nice if they had a SO guy they could bring into those situations (May, anyone?) where they need one......
