    Not exactly the traditional rebuild process......

    http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb-preview-al-central-indians-tigers-white-sox-royals-twins/ Not exactly "buying" on the Twins this year....... The point about how strong the division is, and the signing of Santana given that and where the Twins' are, that was an interesting bit. The author seems to believe that a rebuilding team should be trying to get younger, and take flyers, not sign league averagish older players. I'd say that comment should be aimed at their bullpen building also. but, ya, if you don't like negative opinions....don't read it.

    If it is about his injuries, I am on board with that. If it is something else....then I don't get it (the post above mine someplace).
  4. Mike Sixel
    Which is why I think it is next May.....unless they are somehow contending and CF is a hole.
  5. Mike Sixel
    No kidding. It was an analogy, not a perfect one, clearly.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Lucas Gioloto (sp?), one of the top prospects in baseball says "hello"......
  7. Mike Sixel
    Was he supposed to show every swing ever? It was a very entertaining article, and the stats back up the conclusions. If he leaves out the swings and gifs, it still says the same thing.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd not cross him off the list over this, but I can't say much about any of the options......... I feel really bad for him, have since last summer.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Why should Pinto go to AAA to play every day? He's old enough to be up here now, not some elite prospect that NEEDS to play every day.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Back on topic......how many Republicans would have to be in the next poll, for Cruz not to be last?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Well, not sure what to make of any of that. Other than I wish I was in Florida.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's a big year for Walker, imo, to show he can control himself around the zone more.....if he can show decent (not great) improvement, it would give you hope that can continue. He's a legit prospect, imo.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why call up Buxton in September, and lose a year of control. That would be insane, imo. I like a lot of your percentages. I think it is a near lock Rosario is up at some point, and at least one of those bullpen arms will be up. I'd be surprised if it is two of them. 100% agree with your zeroes. nice write up.
  14. Mike Sixel
    With a big "IF the Twins think he's a long term part of his future" in front of nearly every one of those posts..........at least the first time or two we posted there.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Bummer....was hoping he'd jump on it today.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Another good point above, if you keep the young guys down, how do you know what you have? At some point, you need to give them a chance, like, in a year when you are NOT A CONTENDER, like the last two years, and pretty probably this year too.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I was responding to the comments here about sending him down, but fair. Back in the day, the Twins decided to roll with the young guys and their struggles. Won 2 WS using that model. Haven't even made a WS since......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think there is a ton of rust on Buxton, and that the Twins will wait until late in the year to consider it. At that point, when you are out of it, does it make sense to call him up in July or August, or keep him down until week two of next year, to control 1 more year of service time?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Back on topic...yes, Rodon is going to hurt.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Forgot about that. I bet he's up this year or early next....I don't actually believe Lord Byron will be here this year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Average players.....those are valuable players. If the Twins had average players at all three (one?) OF positions, we'd be thrilled right now.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I don't know how you criticize the Correia pick. It also allowed them to over slot on others. Carlos looks like a legit MLB SS, probably in the majors before Buxton.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ryan doesn't trade prospects, not sure how they can ruin their trade value.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Gotta keep the young guys down, and teach 'em to do things the Twins way........that's how it reads, right or wrong.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Except they aren't putting anyone* with options on the MLB roster. That's the point, the RP should be 2-3 guys with options, that can be sent down and brought back up, not guys all over 31. *1 guy? Maybe?
