    The problem is that the AA and AAA have no hitters on the roster that can play OF. None.* How is that possible, this far into a rebuild? I am all over having more elite players, and less depth.....but when your starter is Aaron Hicks, and your backup is a AAAA player, you might want to have some OF in AAA. Call me crazy... *assuming you count Arcia as a MLB player
  2. Mike Sixel
    MLR....agreed. We don't see how decisions are made. But, we do see the outcomes of decisions. There really is no good way to explain the Bartlett decision. No amount of understanding the process would lead someone to conclude it was a good decision for a rebuilding team. Same with carrying 8 RP. Same with bringing on a 35 year old RP. Not on a rebuilding team. If the process is based on an analysis that this is a legit contender, well, not sure how to justify that either. You are right. We don't have the information we do. But, if we are going to spend hours of time discussing Twins baseball, about all we can do is judge the FO on outcomes. Based on those, the last three years, and the roster mistakes this year.....what do you think?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Wow! Thanks for the article.
  4. Mike Sixel
    For a team that talks about building from within....I have no idea what the plan is based on this year. Pelfrey over Deduno/Meyer/May/Darnell....Bartlett over anyone.....Guryere over any number of fine RP.....Doumit last year over other options......Pinto is barely catching.....the list is not short. None of this makes sense in the context of a rebuilding team.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Glad they moved these two off the team. Would love Santana to just get the year now, to see what he is. That's what a rebuilding team does.....give YOUNG guys a chance.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I might buy a lottery ticket based on all of this.....I think the Twins are actually part of an international spy ring, or aliens are controlling them to send us messages. What could the code base be that relies on the numbers 8, 3, 3, and 1?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Every rebuilding team should cut guys in their 20s to bring up 35 year old RP. It's the new market inefficiency. Like injured college RP being drafted early rounds.
  8. Mike Sixel
    They won't give up a second round pick for Drew, because YOUTH and the FUTURE. But cutting a 20 somthing pitcher to call up a 35 year old RP makes sense? When you have 7 RP on the roster? When your ML system has some legit RP prospects?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Can never have too much pitching John.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Anyone got money they want to place on the numbe of days Mauer is unavailable before they DL him? Is there a 1B in AA or AAA?
  11. Mike Sixel
    They should get Buxton a helmet.....Span, Hicks, Fuld......
  12. Mike Sixel
    that was boom boom's point.....he can be furious if he had little control, he can't if he had a lot of control. boom boom did not state what level of control he had at all.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, they should help him learn to pitch. My point is, he can do that at high A (middle of this year) and be more challenged.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Correct. The problem is that somehow this system has NO OF in AAA or AA that is a better OF than Escobar, Bartlett, or Hermann.
  15. Mike Sixel
    so, the one actual OF can't play more than 4-5 times a week! good times.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I um, I, well, huh. I have no idea what to type about that lineup....other than it is progress that Santana is at SS.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I agree with your point. I guess I didn't make that clear.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Looking forward to the day they spend on elite* talent from outside the org. *not saying Bailey is elite or not
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not having any backup CF plan above A ball is the issue. That's not one decision, it a series of decsions. Having 8 RP is a series of decisions. Having 3 "C" and 3 "SS"* is a series of decisions. Having Florimann still on the roster? Having Hermann still on the roster? Having 2 OF on the roster for days? That's not one decision. This isn't one decision. And, he's the acting GM....as in, this is his chance to prove he should be hired full time. Right now, I would not do that. *"" used because I don't think these guys are C or SS
  20. Mike Sixel
    Progress! Pinto is catching!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Who's call is it, if not the acting GM? Is he the acting GM or not?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Stewart's stuff is too much for low A players. Kind of like Delmon Young's* natural talent was too much for low A pitchers. It's things like this that make me want to move natural talents faster, rather than slower. Challenge them. I would hope Stewart moves up by June or so. *I am NOT comparing their careers......but how their talent is too much for low A
  24. Mike Sixel
    I hope I'm wrong about that.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Wait....did you just type that Esco is in center and Hermann in left? So, yes, feel free to disagree with my stance that this is a bad move, but explain how it is a good move.....
