    does it really matter? If so, "hell yes".
  2. Mike Sixel
    I will also take the under, since some started today.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    This is a great, great story. I hope he gets a shot!
  4. Mike Sixel
    He could, or he could just be hurt all year. They got something (probably as good as any OF in the Twins AAA level right now) for a guy on the DL. If you don't like the comparison, fine with me. All I know is, they got something for a guy on the DL. I say they did a great job.
  5. Mike Sixel
    There are names.....some of the current chaffe could be cut though, imo, without much loss. I do agree, I would not add Buxton this year, as much as it pains me type that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Somehow Cleveland got a AA OF for a guy that is on the DL.......(I think he's still on the DL) with numbers as bad or worse than KC and Sunshine Band's numbers. Interesting.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Since you asked, I'd have cut Diamond (or Pino) right away, and kept Worley. I'd rather see him than Darnell or Johnson or Pino in the rotation today. I'd rather have a 25 year old with some MLB success in AAA, than a 30 year old that can't stick in AAA teams, for example. And, they didn't trade him. They got a couple of bucks for him. They cut him. After he cleared waivers, and could have kept him in AAA. He was young, and had upside. Thinking it was a good baseball decision (not about personalities or whatever, but baseball) seems odd to me.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I agree it is likely there were non-baseball reasons for the move. I would have preferred they just try to reclaim him, and then deal him with a tiny bit of value, but I can see where this might have been a good idea for the Twins......but w/o any knowledge of any of that, we can only guess.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I realized after I hit submit that I said the wrong thing.....just didn't get to edit it yet.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Being one of the 5 worst SP staffs three years in a row is not on the coach at all? I want that job.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Right, they are flush with good options for SP next year, either get ELITE players, or add some bats. Giving up bats for more number 4-5 types? Makes no sense on this 40 man roster at all.
  12. Mike Sixel
    The odd part in all of this was just giving up on him. A guy TR had just traded for. A guy that TR made the centerpiece of his SP rebuild just a year earlier. Clearly, stuff happened that made that a good idea, but it is hard to believe they just gave up on him to keep the guys they kept around, on a purely baseball basis........ Brock, logically your post makes sense. Rhetorically, it just looks like more excuse making for the Twins. Like when Suzuki should not be judged on the pitcher success at all, because these pitchers are just bad, like they are bad because of bad luck, not bad decisions. Who would you rather have in your minor leagues, Pino, or Worley?
  13. Mike Sixel
    13 starts with 1 or 0 runs given up.....sounds pretty consistent to me.
  14. Mike Sixel
    My five..... Arcia, Santana, Meyer, May, Buxton.....with a Rosario bonus, though he is not doing what I had hoped this year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Correlation is not causation. Just sayin'
  16. Mike Sixel
    KLAW appears to be tweeting from the Berrios start tonight.........not sounding positive.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Short a player? I'd argue they've been short for some time.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    The rule here seems to be, don't sign any of them.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Are you arguing Pelfrey was good last year? We disagree. I expected him to be bad, and he was. That should have opened a spot for May or Meyer, which I would argue was good luck. We are not going to agree on Pelfrey.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I would argue that May and Meyer could be up right now. They have chosen not to do that. I do not think that is bad luck they have not been up yet, it is their choice. Pelfrey was predictably bad. Again, imo, not luck. That leaves the big three prospects. That part has been unlucky. It has delayed their call up by however long they decide to delay the inevitable next year. If they were indeed willing to call up Sano this year, then service time should not be an issue next year, and when he comes up will be up to them. Buxton will be up next year, which was the most likely timeline anyway. So, sure, they have had bad luck. But mostly, they have just been bad.
  21. Mike Sixel
    So ignore that he has passed on every Cuban up until now? Right now, they have zero proven OF on the roster. If all it costs is money, he should be buying players.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Twins starters have the third worst ERA, 7th worst FIP, and third worst xfip. What evidence is there he handles a staff well? On his previous teams, other catchers had better outcomes than him. I wonder what the twins see we do not.
  23. Mike Sixel
    So, if every prospect worked out, and every FA signing worked out, they'd be better? Sure, I agree with that, but that would be incredible luck, right? If everything broke your way? I am arguing that they left no room for error, and failure, and they are paying the price for that. That and they refuse to promote May or Meyer for some reason, and I don't buy the injury stuff. May could have been up here before being hurt. Meyer could be up here right now.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Thanks!
  25. Mike Sixel
    I have seriously tried to be more positive lately. Today, I am not succeeding......
