    They do have a very good reason, they don't have a SS. If he doesn't want to move, don't do it. Just let him know that if Rosario proves he's legit this year, one of them will be dealt, and it might be him.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't care, he can't be worse than Floriman at SS (that is, the new 2B can't be worse than Floriman is a SS). The goal of a rebuilding team should be to understand what assets they have, and what they need to replace. Waiting for the offseason to move Dozier doesn't help that. IF, at the end of the year, Rosario has not proven he's a 2B, and Dozier has proven he's not a SS, move Dozier back to 2B. If Rosario is a 2B, and Dozier is a 2B, trade one. If Rosario is a 2B, and Dozier is a SS, WIN! etc....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I disagree. I think they should move Dozier at some point this year, so they have more knowledge about whether or not they need to go outside the organization for a SS or not. If the plan is to move Rosario up to MN and move Dozier to SS in the offseason, what if Dozier can't handle SS....you now have two 2B, and no SS again. And you've lost another year at SS.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nice list. Didn't even inlcude two of their best prospects......this organization should be able to turn some of this into RP and trades, I hope. Looking forward to Johnson pitching today, he's earned a shot.
  5. Mike Sixel
    this, 100% this. But, I'm more like 5 games under......
  6. Mike Sixel
    1. Very nice writeup, thanks for doing the work! 2. Not a fan, never was, never will be. I just hope that if he stays this bad, they pull the plug quickly. 3. He has, somehow, been even worse than I feared, to Brock's point.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, it is hard to see what happened from the box score (haven't been able to listen much lately). That all made sense.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Can someone explain why Tonkin only faces 1 batter every outing? Is he actually not as good as EVERY other RP on the roster?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Under.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone said trade Sano or Buxton. Now, if you sign shields, and you have Meyer and May and Berrios.....would you not trade Stewart for a proven SS and another player? What about Boggaerts and another player? I don't know. A bird in the hand.....I'd think about it, but ONLY if I was willing to buy a top SP in FA.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Who said trade for a guy that only helps for this year? I don't think anyone is proposing that.
  12. Mike Sixel
    And Meyer and May? And, 2016 is only 2 seasons away......look, I wanted better pitchers this year, and last, but at some point, you gotta fix other spots. Now, if you want to sign Shields, and deal a legit starter for a SS, I'm all eyes and ear.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agree, JB. I know I would not have done what he did.....and he knew the consequences when he did it. I too think the Twins handled the privacy well, actually. (two compliments to the FO in one week, someone check the air in here!)
  14. Mike Sixel
    I don't disagree with testing....I think the penalty is harsh.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    We'll just disagree on it being easy for the Twins to acquire legit position players over the last 5-8 years.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Who is your LF next year, or are we punting next year too?
  17. Mike Sixel
    His stick is useless at 2B if Dozier and Polanco are playing there. And, he's better than Willingham or Collabello, and Kubel is gone in a year or two. Who is your LF, if not Rosario? I guess if you are willing to trade Dozier for a legit player or three, you keep Rosario at 2B. But at some point, it sure would be great to play for the present, and not keep trading your good players for the future....
  18. Mike Sixel
    They have Gordon going only 2 picks later......not that I'm saying the Twins should take him.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Better to "trust" Floriman, knowing he is costing you runs, or try something else, CMAT? BTW, I think the answer is to trade for a prospect. They've shown they won't sign Cubans, they haven't drafted a good SS since before I was born*, and the likelihood of there being a good FA SS is low. *that was an exaggeration, people
  20. Mike Sixel
    Or, that he tried it once......we have no idea how much anyone has used if they fail a test. I don't think it shows addiction at all to fail one test.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Maybe we could concentrate not on the hardy deal......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Frankly, this makes me 100% no longer worried about his future. Move him to LF, and get him up here this year. I will be bummed if he is playing 2B this year....Dozier is set, and Polanco can come up in 2 years.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    jokin, we don't need any cubans....plus, they are just too expensive, and they wouldn't sign here becuase it is cold, and, um, what are the other multitudes of excuses for not signing international FAs again?
  24. Mike Sixel
    It is illegal to do a lot of things that do not generate 50 game suspensions.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Put Rosario in LF, and your lineup is more fun to imagine, imo. I also think it is possible May is in the rotation, and they've already moved on from Nolasco or Hughes, but unlikely. I would guess they do NOT sign a FA pitcher, because May, Darnell, and Johnson are in AAA, and Berrios is in AA and Stewart is in high A. But, I could be wrong.
