    You must not recall there being needless in the Twins locker room, and the manager saying to ignore them......back in the day.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Rodon, Aiken, Gordon, Touki, Newcomb, Jackson, Kolek.....that is my preference, acknowledging fully itis based on reading scouting reports and not having seen anyone play. I understand it is hard to get elite pitchers outside the draft. It is also hard to get elite SS, period. And a hitter plays five times as many games as a pitcher.......
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no one is trading for a 1B that isn't hitting, that is owed $23MM.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'd prefer Santana at SS, but that seems unlikely, so play him in CF, I guess.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I agree, Linus, but Gardy, who appears to be in complete control of the roster right now, does not.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I find it fascinating that Hicks is basically benched since he made the change, for a SS. I say ride Santana while he is hot, why not?
  7. Mike Sixel
    I find it bizarre that teams don't invest in proper food for their most important assets. It is clear that minor leaguers are underpaid for their work, and I hope the plaintiffs win and take money from the greedy MLB players and owners.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Why Newcomb over Touki? That makes zero sense to me. If it is really to save money, how is that going to work, with more than a half dozen teams having multiple picks in front of them. IF it played out the way you suggest, I'd take Rodon, Gordon, Touki, ? in that order.

    Can't swing a bat yet, and Ryan assures us it isn't a lost year?
  10. Mike Sixel
    If only Abreu had been freely available for any terrible team to sign, then maybe he would be a Twin........
  11. Mike Sixel
    Mauer has the lowest SLG in the lineup? Man I hope he recovers soon.
  12. Mike Sixel
    They were further from being in the top ten in runs scored, than in runs allowed, and aded Bartlett and Kubel and Suzuki......and counted on Willingham to be healthy and Hicks to play CF and Florimann to be the SS......
  13. Mike Sixel
    top five SS in all of baseball......rated in the top three to five by nearly every expert on line........the disdain for him on these boards borders on the ridiculous. Asking him to be ARod is like asking the pitchers to be the second or third best pitcher ever.......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Brock missing the point.....that if you keep refusing to get good, to wait for the perfect time, that time takes forever to come.......if they add one legit FA a year before this year, they are several to many games better, and there is no lame excuse not to try to win this year or next year......which we all know is coming, just like this year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    So if a rookie cannot be counted on, isn't that Another argument for May and Meyer pitching ten or more games inMN this year? So we don't have to hear how they aren't ready next year? And if Meyer is on an innings limit, shouldn't he be getting experience here soon? I mean, assuming they are going to try next year?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I looked outside, and there was fire and ice falling from the sky, locusts were everywhere, and cats and dogs wee doing unspeakable things. I figured it was the end times, then I saw the lineup, and it all made sense.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Careful, I get ripped every week for pointing this out......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Tried to watch teh Crawford chat, but "unfortunately this chat has reached capacity".....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Huh, so people don't universally have 5-10 players above Gordon. Weird.
  20. Mike Sixel
    This, to me, is why you should be willing to sign legit FAs even when "they are so bad last year there is NO WAY they could compete this year"......Imagine if they had Garza instead of Pelfrey, and Ellsbury in CF. No get rid of Guerrier and Burton. Now add May or Meyer for whichever starter falters. Put Mauer close to his normal self. that team is better than this team, maybe 4 or 5 wins better right now. Maybe, come the trade deadline, that team is adding a DH or something to get them over the top. this team? This team will be in full budget cut/veteran trading mode come the deadline. And, the argument will be made not to sign a big time FA next year, because "they weren't good last year, and can't compete this eyar, need to wait until the right time"......the right time comes a lot faster if you add more assets early in the rebuild. all this is imo, of course
  21. Mike Sixel
    No one is saying use Fuld forever, but right now, today, what is the best thing to do? Some believe sending Hicks down to work on RH only is the right thing. It is hard to argue that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    You know I agree with the second part......does anyone believe they'd deal a legit prospect for a legit MLB player in the future? I don't.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Isn't the GM accountable for Bartlett, Guerrier, Kubel, and sticking with KC? They seem unable to commit to their strategy.
  24. Mike Sixel
    If it rains, you have Darnell, Meyer, Pino, Gilmartin, Diamond......I do not understand the fear of losing bad depth.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This season, for me, has reinforced my belief this is not the GM/Manager for a young, rebuilding, team. I am excited to see the future, but it is about as slow at arriving as GRRM is at producing new books.....
