    I too cannot believe how little Tampa got.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd cut KC, or move him to the pen. It isn't my job to figure out where to send them......I have no idea. KC has no place on a rebuilding team, with May and Meyer sitting in AAA.
  3. Mike Sixel
    An A for the Fuld trade, really amazing to me, frankly. Not a fan of the Suzuki signing, but if they won't play Pinto, it is a B I guess. Still having to watch KC instead of May and Meyer, F. Willingham still here? D I weight the Fuld trade the strongest, so I guess it is a B from me, though that seems like a hollow B, frankly. They added a league median or slight worse pitcher (outside Oak), and signed a catcher over 30 that was AWFUL the two years before this. I don't see much that really FIXES things, but the Milone trade is just mind bogglingly good....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Well, we can look at the last four years, apply aging and recovery from yet another injury, and reach some educated conclusions.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan. I'm trying to be more positive, and like more posts, and it is limited. I understand the database reasons......but not a fan.
  6. Mike Sixel
    If that is it, he gets an A for the trade he made, and a series of Cs or Ds for not moving KC, Willingham, and Suzuki. YMMV, of course.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand why Pinto can't be up here. If he can't, then deal him if he has any value. Because if the Twins don't want him up here, some other team probably disagrees about his value. Brian Harper started out as a terrible defensive catcher......people learn and grow on the job all the time. Imagine if they had this much patience with Dozier, he'd still be in AAA.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not a huge Suzuki guy......but it won't kill me if they extend him.
  9. Mike Sixel
    that's how I read it, until/unless another change is made.
  10. Mike Sixel
    There are no compensatory picks for guys traded mid-season, so the A's won't get a pick if/when he leaves. edit: scooped.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Ok, I'm calmer now about being in AAA.....move along, nothing to see here....
  12. Mike Sixel
    But until it does happen, it has not happened. Maybe they aren't even keeping Milone?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Wait, Milone goes to AAA, and the AAA pitchers in MN stay up? What? Downgrade my grade to a B.
  14. Mike Sixel
    As I said in the trade day thread, this is an A for TR. A legit SP (even if he's really a 4/5) for a 4th OF? Wow. Really. Wow.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Hope you are right Dave. Would love to have the three Ms in the rotation with Hughes and Gibson. That would feel so future looking, and be effective eventually. Feeling more positive now......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Vargas up? that is surprising. Wow.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Great trade by TR. I'll give him an A on this one. I'm not sure Milone is even median, but he's a legit SP in exchange for a 4th OF. the ONLY negative is that this probably delays one of May / Meyer, doesn't it? Will TR turn around and deal from their glut of MLB/AAAA/AAA pitchers? Or will the Twins have legit MLB SP sitting in NY this year and next?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I love teams that go for it when they have a REAL chance. Love it. Even if it does not end up working, he's trying to win it all.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Suzuki is blocking Pinto. Or, Willingham is blocking Pinto. Together, they are blocking Pinto. If this team is ever going to actually rebuild from within, they need to get the young guys up here, not sitting in NY or CT.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Which stats show that?
  21. Mike Sixel
    TR did it in the past, but I don't see them doing it this year. The owner seems a bit peeved at the results lately.....But, CLE is doing a great job this trade deadline. It helps to acquire good players in the first place.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd argue that every player staying healthy, and every prospect working out, would be extraordinary good luck. One side seems to be arguing that they are unlucky because they had, what to me, seems to be what happens in sports happen to them...... Is there some bad luck? yes. Are they extraordinarily unlucky? I don't know.....did they lose Dylan Bundy maybe forever? Did they lose the best or 2nd best pitcher in the NL off their roster in a year where they are contedning? Did they trade their SS, lose the number 1 young player in baseball at SS, lose numerous starting pitchers, and drop from a contender to the worst record in baseball? Did they sign the most expensive FA in the game last year, only to have 2-3 of their top minor league pitchers get hurt? That's off the top of my head, w/o looking at every team in the majors.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Part of the reason they can't deal anyone (apparently), is that TR signed mediocre/bad players to begin with. Just another reason to spend your money on good players, not filler/bad/cheap players, imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Hunter is terrible this year, why are people suggesting him? How does he help in any way?
  25. Mike Sixel
    so, they aren't trading him? What is the point of stocking the farm system, if you won't call up players?
