    Fair enough, ashbury........but this draft featured RP, and one of the reasons I don't like that is that I don't feel the Twins promote them fast enough. But I'm willing to stop the conversation. If the reason they don't have any good, young RP is that they didn't draft well.......then that's the reason. We'll see if things really change or not as we go along.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Or that are on the MLB roster w/in 3 years of being drafted?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Name the RP on the roster in the last 5 years that are under 25........and were drafted by the Twins.
  4. Mike Sixel
    He didn't go to "ok", he went to above average/very good. We don't know if he'll repeat it, buy why wouldn't he? I agree, he is under appreciated.

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2015-zips-projections-minnesota-twins/ or not.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    great article! And yes, combining "ball in play pitchers" with terrible defense shows a fundamental misunderstanding of strategy.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Why are they Twins signing a bunch of mediocre RP, and not promoting these guys if they are so good? Lots of other teams are bringing up RP fast, this strategy doesn't do much if they insist on guys moving up one wrung a year......are any of the likely RP even in AA yet?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm confused at the commentary about post 2015.....since that wasn't the question......
  9. Mike Sixel
    No. Even if they signed him (hahahahahahahahahaha, good one), they would still have a terrible defense. And, I am not as confident as many about the offense right now.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Seth, they either come up to help before September, or they are in the minors all year. I don't see either getting the cameo treatment this year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    so in your mind, Hicks is a top guy under 25? True, I missed one....the list was 12 long, 11 w/o Hicks.
  12. Mike Sixel
    If Santana and Nolasco work out, we will see 1 of May, Meyer or Berrios, assuming you still like Gibson and Hughes.....so should those be top prospects we can count one, while also counting on Gibson, Nolasco and Santana? That seems like double counting to me.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I count 3 guys, not half.....unless you really think Hicks is a top 10 under 25 guy with a future......or you count Polanco last year, which seems a bit of a stretch....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree with you, MLR.....I'd rather watch mediocre teams with young players than mediocre teams with old players. At least one way you have hope.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Well, I do think people on here have questioned the timing and approach to the "rebuild". Many people here have wondered why not May and Meyer and Berrios this year, to see what you have, and then spend money next year if needed...... I do think that many people do, however, put too little emphasis on the need to sell tickets and "be competitive".....and only emphasize "winning it all" by timing things. I think the owner doesn't want the rapid decline in fans in the seats to continue. My hope, hope for sure not expectation, is that they are willing to eat some of these deals if they don't work out, rather than ride mediocrity (my concern is that these guys are mediocre enough "not to replace") for some time.
  16. Mike Sixel
    God I hated that college reliever strategy. Hated it. Given the depth of other high upside starters right now, they should all move back to the pen, and up to the majors faster rather than slower. But, the Twins seem reluctant to do what other MLB teams are doing in that regard, so I have my doubts.
  17. Mike Sixel
    i do agree they are likely to be better, I do also agree they aren't likely to contend.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Well, sure, that was like, months ago, and I, uh....ya...still glad he mentioned it on Vikingsland earlier so I see it now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    How did I not see / use this before? Brock you gotta advertise that icon!
  20. Mike Sixel
    This and the blogs/articles moving to the forums somehow right away (which is really the same issue).....are my top requests.
  21. Mike Sixel
    ah, right.....it is so hard to see the Phillies..... Not sure the Rockies should be as far left as the Phillies too.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Twins are 2nd farthest from "win now" on that graph.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Don't want to derail.....but there is another good article about framing on Fangraphs today.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Is this really done? Conflicting reports on line if it is done.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Cut Duensing, make him your Lefty out of the pen / 8th inning guy / closer........that's what I would do. Out of the box, I know.
