    He's 24. The service clock is such a straw man argument at this point.
  2. Mike Sixel
    We can only judge from the facts we know, like the spending patterns under both GMs. You can conclude, in the face of all evidence, that Ryan would have done the same thing. I can conclude that since Smith was the GM, he played a role in the decisions. Neither of us know.

    Been a Gibson advocate for some time, hoping he succeeds!

    I meant my prediction on being 5 games under by the end of May..... I think all along I've said Gibson is a 3.....with the occassional awesome start, and slightly more frequent "meh" start, with the possibility he's really a 4. But man, he's got to find a way to get people to swing and miss, or things will go South.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Ya, that's my thought too, Brock. KC is gone (I think) after this year anyway. For me, as soon as they are relatively sure May or Meyer is better than him, that player should be up. I don't have a lot of faith in Deduno, and Gibson's swing/miss is scary low......I could see a future where May and Meyer are up, and KC is somewhere else, and Gibson is in AAA .....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Still trying to figure out how Gibson is getting away that swing/miss percentage......I stick by my prediction, because being hard headed and unwilling to change is how people are successful!
  7. Mike Sixel
    What if May and Meyer are both ready.....and better than 2 or 3 of the Twins current starters? What would you do (not what would the Twins do, what would you do)? Do you hold them down to keep depth? Do you promote them to try to reward people that pay for tickets and show the team that it isn't "about a future that never comes*"? *used courtesy of Mr. Hunter....

    Violence is never the answer, though swearing can be. This thread was very entertaining. I will endeavor for humor tomorrow.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I have probably typed those words before. Tis true.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I am done with Gardy. Continuing to put florimann out there is the last straw for me. I want him gone.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Also, some teams have no number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 quality starting pitchers (like a certain team last year....well, they had a 3/4)
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm thrilled about Michael's year so far. he's one of the bright spots. Looking forward to seeing him in NB after the AS break (I think he'll be ready).
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not old, but not "elite young" either....and he'll be entering his 31 year old season when they would lose control of him......I just want 10+ starts in MN this year....if for no other reason to make next year more likely to be successful.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Good clarification. That would be ok with me....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I disagree with Brock. If Dozier is willing, I'd have him work out for a couple of months at SS in practice, then move him. While you are creating a hole this year, I think there are 2-3 2B prospects that could be up next year or the year after. I think there are no SS that meet that (though, if Santana is going to be up, it would be nice to actually test that theory....that's what a team committed to rebuilding would do). If Dozier proves not capable at SS after a month or two, move him back. But waiting for the offseason? Then you really don't know if he's a SS or not, and how do you plan for SS or 2B?
  16. Mike Sixel
    rushing is a loaded word. It creates a tautology, imo. Actually, the truly elite players do come up early/young. There was a study on this last year on teh interwebs.
  17. Mike Sixel
    My eyes hurt seeing those numbers all together like that. I can't believe think his defense covers up for that.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Clearly, then Gordon isn't "taking a SS because they don't have one" thing anymore! Great. I hope he's legit, I hope they take him, because, they DON'T have one.
  19. Mike Sixel
    that does make sense.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Dang, my sarcasm detector is not working at all right now.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Several of whom did sign with teams with top CF prospects, who were in AA or AAA.....and whose names were mentioned in one of these threads. Or, they could have signed a LF, who could play CF in an emergency. Heck, even having an actual CF in AAA would be nice.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure what that means. Someone compared the two players, and I offered why some might like one more than the other.
  23. Mike Sixel
    You should probably ask a twins exec that question. As should the fans in Rochester and NB.....don't they deserve AAA and AA OF?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't get the logic in keeping your best players down until the team is a contendor. How do they become contednors with their best players in the minors? I think what some of us would like is for Meyer to get more starts in MN than in AAA, so that next year he's ready. I remain hopeful Buxton and Sano are on this roster next year. Would be great if they spread out the number of rookies, and if more guys were more ready for their arrival. Or, I could be wrong, and their best players should be in the minors waiting until they are nigh on perfect at everything before being called up.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Couldn't the Astros sign Nolasco and Hughes types? Don't the Twins need their propsects to pan out to be good again? I don't think anyone is saying fans can't be both hopeful about the future (and complimentary about the rebuild approach), and frustrated with the present and the pace of improvement.
