    I care. It is the scouts' and GM's job to get trades right. Anyone, literally, could trade Revere for nothing if they had the job.....they should be judged on whether or not the trade works to a large extent* *their entire career should not be judged on one trade, that is clearly not what I'm saying....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Trading a young player for a proven SS is hardly "giving up on him", imo.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Hicks is also a SH, who can't hit at all from the more important side. Gomez, OTOH, only had to improve from one side. And Gomez was a great fielder day one. No place am I saying he won't succeed some day, but that day looks pretty far off right now.....but given that I still don't think they are legit contenders this year, keep running him out there if you think he can learn in the majors.

    NP, just making sure you knew. Nothing worse than customers pissing about problems they don't report to IT (as we both know).

    It is an article on a national website, not a book written on the entire Twins strategy and minor leagues. I'm not sure what people expect. The Twins can't strike guys out, and they are playing SS in the OF. What do people expect an article written for a national audience to say.
  6. Mike Sixel
    There are more holes in this system than can be counted. The MLB is starting SS in the OF because they have no OF in Minnesota or AAA or AA right now. There are no SS anyone loves in the system. BPA.....

    It always shows login at the top, even when I am logged in.

    From what I've read, Gordon should move quickly for a HSer. "very advanced approach" is the quote I recall.
  9. Mike Sixel
    The post immediately above that pointed out that Hick's defense carries a VERY large negative WAR score this year, and that it was negative last year. And, both O and D are needed from players, unless one is elite, imo.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I find it odd that people think Hicks could play in a corner, with his bat, but argue that Rosario doesn't have the bat for a corner spot.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Aaron Hicks has a negative 4.0 DEF score for WAR right now on Fangraphs. He had a negative score last year. I find it hard to believe that major league hit balls are so much harder hit than minor league balls, requiring a MLB who has been a profession baseball player for 6 years to literally get turned around on multiple occassions.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Jackson, Gordon, or Touki (can't recall how to spell the last name) are my preferences. "best breaking ball" is a good tool to have.
  13. Mike Sixel
    It is an interesting question, to consider in a month or three......he's probably better than anyone in the minors, and if they are interested in competing next year, it might make sense.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Yup, no strikeouts and bad OF defense is a bad combination. Another nice route by Hicks yesterday....
  15. Mike Sixel
    They clearly traded high on him. The question is open, imo, about whether they got anything for him, but May has been mostly encouraging....and I remain hopeful.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Not sure how to be more clear about my feelings.....Gruyere should not be on this roster. That want clear?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Phew, almost had a RP from the minors on the roster......but you can't be one of the oldest teams in the games by using your minors. Very important to have 35 year old RP on the roster.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm all for it......
  19. Mike Sixel
    hard to tell from my work desk what is happening......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Mauer was picked off, of first, with a guy on second, to make the third out? odds Gardy calls him out by name after the game?
  21. Mike Sixel
    On average, you can't....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I agree with all of this.
  23. Mike Sixel
    There aren't any HR or doubles....is Ortiz not in the lineup?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Certainly possible, but a good PROCESS driven team would look at the process, not the results. I think that is my point.....something is wrong with the process (not that we know what part is broken).
  25. Mike Sixel
    why not just cut him? Why put him in the bullpen? AAA has several RP ready, and they already have too many RP.
