    The Pelfrey signing, which was stupid when made, looks worse every day. Don't worry though, the really good pitchers in the minors will earn their way up at some point....somehow. Making room for a 35 year old RP (when you have enough RP in your system), by moving decent younger players off the 40 man? At this point in the rebuild? Insanity. Just awful roster management.

    The starting pitching can't be worse.....

    Given baseball inflation.....I think you underestimate his value in the end years of that deal. As I said, the union thinks he's underpaid.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Many are wondering why Trout went for it. Rumor has it that the union is mad at him actually. Maybe he's like me....someone offers you enough money to last your lifetime, and still leaves you years to get paid more later, you take it, and don't worry about leaving a few million on the table.

    So violence in baseball is ok because there is violence in the NFL? Not really a strong argument, frankly.

    I do like a good beer....but what if the person is a minor, we can't promise them a beer.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I don't see anyone saying to give up on him....but maybe I missed a post.

    3-4 defensive plays a game, the VAST majority of which are makable by any SS, are more important than 4-5 at bats a game? I don't think so.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm much more optimistic than I was. This is, of course, why I argued they should sign legitimately good to great players in the offseason, because you just never know.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I gotta say, I'd be really nervous about taking an injured pitcher 5th overall.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think we should not sleep on Nick Gordon.....I don't think they'll take him, but they should be tempted imo. I think I'd prefer the best pitcher available, but if they think Gordon can hit and stay at SS, they should consider him.

    How about Tonkin gets to pitch to more than 1 guy a game?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Who goes down when Willingham is healthy?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I love Crawford's work.
  15. Mike Sixel
    "it worked, so it must have been a good decision"....ya, right.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Is there a rule that Tonkin can only get 1 out a game? Anyone wondering why people don't think Gardy uses rookies.....there's a use case for you.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Does that count as a QS, for a MN pitcher? I'll admit, so far, Suzuki is about 1000000x the player I pitctured when they acquired him.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm confused, we should hold it against Miami that they bring up their players and have All Stars? What does that have to do with what they do with them after that? They develop and bring up players quickly, and it seems to work (see WS championships). The fact that they then do stuff people don't like, well, too bad. Also, trading all those old guys 2 years ago SPED up their reloading.....and now they are ahead of the Twins again, in terms of being young and talented (the Twins are actually on the old side of MLB teams).
  19. Mike Sixel
    Nah, next year's OF is Rosario, Buxton, Arcia imo. Hicks isn't Gomez. He is a switch hitter that can't hit from one side. He isn't being coached to move runners over, and not swing hard. He just isn't a good hitter right now. Could he be? Sure. Will he be? I have strong doubts. I have no doubts about Rosario and Buxton, however (other than the obvious personal ones with Rosario). If Hicks has trade value, great. But to me, the other three I listed are the ones that will matter to this team, both here and as having value.

    Meyer alone might not be the delta, but what if Fuld, Meyer, May, Tonkin are? What if, instead of holding them all down on an individual case.....you promoted your best playerS, and got 1 win more from 4-6 of them.....Every AWFUL start by Pelfrey makes it LESS likely Meyer does make a difference. In 2012, the Angels kept Trout down for 6 weeks, to save money or whatever, and missed the playoffs by 4 games........and then signed him this year to an extension that bought out all those years.....what if they had him up at the beginning of that year?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I keep reading I shouldn't care if prospects get to AAA quickly, because AAA doesn't matter. Now I read that Meyer doesn't have enough AAA starts to get promoted. So, which is it? It doesn't matter how fast they promote at lower levels because you can be promoted to the majors from AA, or it matters how many AAA starts a player has? Which is it?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Meyer is likely on an innings limit.....you want 80% of his starts in AAA, or up here? I guess if all they care about is the future, and not this year, you can hold him down for another year of control.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If he is on an innings limit.....you want those burned in AAA, or the majors?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Miami found a way to promote their young, great pitchers, fast. Now, just a couple of years after being ridiculed for trading their vets and reloading, they are playing well. It would be great if the Twins got Meyer up here, and put Pelfrey in the pen.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Except when, you know, a bad player blocks a good player, because that bad player is signe for more than 1 year, and is on the 40 man roster, which, btw, happens all the time with this team.
