    If they would just DFA Floriman, and add another MI to the 40 man, they'd have the ability to send that player up and down.....I'd think. Right now, they seem paralyzed with fear of losing one of the worst players in MLB (which I find funny, in an odd way). When people say it doesn't matter who is on the 40 man.....this is the kind of thing that makes it matter, roster flexibility. They don't have that enough right now. Too many guys w/o a real future on the 40 man, and too many RP and MI without options available to be sent up and down. I hope that this problem begins to fix itself soon, once they realize they are out of it this year and start dealing/cutting guys in the last year of their deals. (not holding my breath on that.....)

    I agree, it is a huge issue to fill a bad team with old, bad players, out of options. It isn't depth if you are afraid to use it.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I believe strawman said that, but I would have to search his posts to be sure.

    I'd also rather see Pinto, but I also believe they don't like that option and think Suzuki is a good defensive catcher (even though the pitch framing data says otherwise). It wouldn't kill me either way if Suzuki was on the roster next year, frankly.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Big fan of your plan, Jeremy.
  6. Mike Sixel
    My opinion has not changed, and it won't. He's not even an adequate player......
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm not worried about Burdi. He's either going to be good, or not. But one outing means nothing at all, imo.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Except the data indicate he is not that good a catcher. .....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Please DFA him.

    jokin and I aren't saying move him to MLB right now, we are saying "don't move him to MLB because he's young" is not a good argument. Move him to AA, and see how he does. Domintating A ball players for a full year, IMO, doesn't teach him much of anything. Also, as ESPN and Fangraphs have pointed out, many teams are moving their pitchers faster, because they have realized two things: arms slow down over time and they want faster pitches; pitchers get hurt, and you should get MLB value out of them before they get hurt. No one, I don't think, is saying put him in MLB right now. We are arguing against the argument that age determines when he should move up over ability.

    If not Suzuki, whom? My beliefs are based on a belief that the Twins don't like Pinto for some reason, so they need someone else.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't thin calling someone up from A ball indicates any change in philosophy, do you? This is a unique occurrence, and does not have much to do with speed of promotions in general.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Anyone can pick outliers.....and no one said tall like Johnson is good.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not interested. This team is toast this year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    But the Twins are not contending, that is our point. Rebuilding teams should not be old.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Not let him swing, but then I would DFa him.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Maybe Burdi will do this too. .....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Age is a cause of body change, not merely a correlation.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ryan isn't leaving on any terms but his own.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Who would send Ricky to the pen at this point?
  21. Mike Sixel
    What's not the rush? He should move up when he appears to be close to ready, regardless of age. Oh, and arm injury.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I cannot imagine anyone thinks he will finish
  23. Mike Sixel
    I will be disappointed if they go with Deduno again. They have other options. Time to move on.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough, JB, but injury after injury, none of these AAA guys are getting a shot.
  25. Mike Sixel
    We know Floriman is filler, give another guy a chance.
