    I don't know....Ortiz in LF and Rosario in CF makes more sense to me. Not sure Eddie can make it all the way here this year, but that seems more ideal (assuming either is a MLB player) position wise.

    What if, instead of this track, they had him trying to dominate, and he did, and they called him up next year, because, as ESPN pointed out recently, arm injuries happen, and teams want their pitchers up sooner, rather than later.....It's not like this system has produced a lot of pitching talent, and their processes should be completely trusted.

    A. Congrats, this is very nice news. B. The PP website is awful, just awful. C. I am a fan of their Twins coverage.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Well, if he's there, you take him. But it seems more likely I will win the lottery on Saturday....
  5. Mike Sixel
    another week for Rosario in A+, you think, or more?
  6. Mike Sixel
    A. Who cares about crippling Rochester? B. They have Gilmartin who can come up to AAA, and probably another guy. C. No, there would not be criticism for cutting one of the 5 worst SP in the majors, and replacing him with part of the future. D. How bad does a player have to be, to be replaced, if not this bad?

    College graduations? Congrats. My oldest graduates from SLP high school next week, then MN Morris.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Winner!
  9. Mike Sixel
    Sweet on Ortiz.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Huh, did not know that. Still one of my favorites.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Yes he should.
  12. Mike Sixel
    That makes more sense

    I am very happy for Justin. One of my favorite Twins, partly becaus he chose to live here, and was very active in the community. Those that choose to live here are saintly, imo, when they could afford to live wherever they want, and are the true Minnesotans. * *btw, I'm hoping to move soon, can't take the length of winter anymore.

    Singleton isn't a first rounder, that already has lots of money and pedigree and expectations all over him (though some expectations have been created on and off while he's been in the minors). Buxton, or any other highly ranked prospect, isn't doing this in a million years.
  15. Mike Sixel
    There are probably a half dozen good choices they could make
  16. Mike Sixel
    Didn't think you were....If I could find the quote, I would post it.
  17. Mike Sixel
    The other side of the coin is that he is now set for life, removing all downside risk.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, Seth.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough. If you want to make the majors and make money......wouldn't a player want the more likely route? I am curious if you have ever discussed that with a prospect.
  20. Mike Sixel
    If we all knew they were relievers, why were they starting?
  21. Mike Sixel
    More good stuff, thanks again to both you and Terry.
  22. Mike Sixel
    you left out the word "potential", and one of the scouts interviewed/quoted on ESPN has said that. I read it elsewhere too, but I have no idea if those were circular references or not.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Brock, my issue with the Twins approach to Int'l FA is that they sign 16-18 year olds only....they can afford to sign legit AAA/MLB FAs from Cuba, on top of signing the Thorpes for a few million, and they don't. I have only a small issue to their approach re: how they manage the signings at the low level, I have a big issue with passing on guys that cost actual money, and are close to ready (or ready) right away. I hope that clears up any misunderstanding..... (you know, like Puig, or Abreu, or Tanaka {they had no chance on this one}, or Cespedes, or.....). Oakland, for their lack of money, did that.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Great writeup! Thanks for the in depth information.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Except, Brock......it isn't. The A's actively move players around their system. They send under performers down. They platoon. They use their entire bench (not always well). They went and signed an expensive Intl FA. All of those things are things the Twins could do, and not spend more money, and not change what they claim they want to do.
