    three conseecutive 90 loss seasons, no one on AAA to even call up for a tryout two years in a row, right? 1 player under 28 on the roster for more than 1 year that is any good at all.....how am I to judge the minors, other than if they turn out players that help the team win?
  2. Mike Sixel
    It would be awesome if it happened.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Hey, I love teh minor league system, thrilled with the hitters for sure. Almost getting happy with the starters.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Because Ryan will get to keep his job based on how these players do......so if the best players (just an example) were not brought in under him, then I'd prefer he not keep his job. He needs to be judged on wheter or not the team produces players....and if they were actually brought in under someone else's leadership, I'd prefer he be judged on his time as a leader....... and, just like being a fan of a team at all is irrational, so is my belief that people actually be judged on what they did, not what others did, and I agree with Brock, it is about leadership, not which individual scout did what.......
  5. Mike Sixel
    Shane, given that I said "should have happened 2 years ago".....it should be obvious I am not thinking about 2013....
  6. Mike Sixel
    right here: "Doumit is not the problem. He's a great guy to have at C and DH 3-4 times a week."...so, one time as the backup catcher, plus 3-4 times a week at DH.....that's 4-5 (or 6 when mauer is hurt or 1B) starts a week. That's what you said a few posts up. Unless you meant combined 3-4 times a week, but that's still 4 starts a week....
  7. Mike Sixel
    My bad, I messed that up. Thanks for letting me know.
  8. Mike Sixel
    4-6 starts a week is spot starting? that's what a guy that backs up Mauer and DH's 3-4 times a week gets......He should not DH 1 time a week, Fangraphs predicted he'd be the worst DH this year for a reason.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Compare Doumit to other DHs, and let me know if you really think he's "great" there....he's not even average. Pinto is the 2nd cather next year, he might be good, we know Doumit isn't.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Funny, when someone suggested Kepler move to 1B, that person was mocked.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Yup, agreed, should have typed "its more likely" rather than "can't"......but again, how's that going for the Twins in the last 5-10 years? Not so well......
  12. Mike Sixel
    so you'd rather have him on the roster next year than someone that might be part of the future? If they can send him to AAA like Drew, I'm all for that.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    he can't catch, he can't field, and he's a bad hitter.....he serves no purpose on this roster, and should not have been signed to a multi year deal. Not sure why anyone would trade anything for him at all.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Doumit serves no purpose, what do people think they can trade him for? Just DFA him now, and move onto the future already.
  15. Mike Sixel
    All Doumit has proven is that he is an awful baseball player.....just go look at the stats. A GM rebuilding a team would never sign a player like that to a 2 year deal.....I really think Ryan and others thought this team was actually going to be competitive. That is an indictment on them, frankly.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Should have happened 2 years ago. If his arrival is pushed out a year, but he's actually good, that might be a good idea......but this is a great example of being conservative, don't change anything, even if it isn't working.
  17. Mike Sixel
    My prediction Ryan would get credit for Sano, Rosario, and Arcia is already coming true. I weep for our education system.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention the most ready prospects were already in the system when Ryan came back....
  19. Mike Sixel
    You know Ryan personally?
  20. Mike Sixel
    How long did the last rebuild take? I only have so many years left.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Jeff Smith?
  22. Mike Sixel
    so signing a 2-4 WAR player is now spending money to spend money? Not to mention his defense instantly makes the pitching here better.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Because we don't all want to wait 3-6 years for the team to be worth watching. Because they have lots of money. Because he's better than any 1B or SS or C or DH available. Because Hicks cannot hit, and Arcia cannot field. Because you need 3 starting OFers. Because even if you end up with too many, you can trade one or more for other players to fill holes. Because they can afford to sign 2-3 players, not just one, and Ryan is not signing multiple expensive pitchers, not with Gibson, Meyer, and May all having to not be blocked.
  24. Mike Sixel
    What GOOD options under 30 are there? Oh, how has Hunter's decline gone? FAs are generally older, so are you just writing off all FAs? Why not? why can't they afford two large contracts on their books? It has not killed other teams from being competitive? We've given numerous examples of how bad contracts are not team killers on these boards.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is a surprise, and not.....but this just about locks him on the 40 man, right? May? isn't he close to his innings from last year? Meyer, makes sense. Great looking list to me.
