    I don't see it talked about much. People seem so fixated on the pitching, when they are actually further behind in runs scored than runs allowed (from the likely playoff teams). They can't hit, at all. Not one 1 OF, DH, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B....all are below average in the AL. EVERY position but 2 (in fairness, Plouff is exactly at the median, but he's dropping). I'm not sure starting pitching is a bigger problem, the hitting is awful.
  2. Mike Sixel
    The offense is bottom 5 in the AL, and dropping with Willingham and Arcia not on the roster. Hitting is an issue people seem to be missing somehow.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Organizations that respect their fans have more than 1 legit MLB hitter in the lineup.
  4. Mike Sixel
    One of the worst hitting teams in baseball is "acceptable" to watch? The lineup they are putting out right now should embarrass the men who said they be playing meaningful games in the fall. And, they have 1-2 pitchers right now. It's a sad team.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm with Stringer. Time to cut the old chaffe, and see what you have in others. Keeping these guys on the roster does nothing at all for the future, and given how they hit, for the present.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Good point.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Replacing Dozier with Rosario would not make the team better? Could not disagree more.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Is it tacky to like every post that agrees with you?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Really? This offense is one of the worst in the league because these guys can't hit, just like everyone else not named Mauer on this roster. I don't know why people are so willing to have awful hitters at 2B, when a guy like Rosario is nearly ready. Settling for bad hitters, because other hitters can make up for them, that leads to a bad roster, imo.

    I'm not Seth, but I bet they go AFL with him if he's healthy. It makes sense. The one reason it might not be the same as Gibson is that Wimmers never made it that far in the minors before the injury.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough, Brock generally I also ignore GM comments, but I found the comments to prospective ticket buyers to be pretty bad lying. I do not expect everyone to agree with that, but to me it was disturbing. Thanks for answering, btw.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I love that the Twins put family first. Baseball is just a job, family is a billion times more important.
  13. Mike Sixel
    like I said, it has value to him and the owner, bur not the customers. Would be cool, IMO, if it was more about the customers. yMMV.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Question....is every comment throw away? Like, telling ticket buyers he was going to do what it took to get pitching? Are we to dismiss everything he says as worthless and not worth discussing? There was an article in the paper, and we are discussing it.

    I do not see Ryan blocking May and Meyer with a multi year signing.....meaning the FA add I see next year looks depressingly like this year. Still hoping to be proven wrong, of course. I do not know, but I think Pelfrey is going to have a strong finish, and sign elsewhere for 3/35 or so.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I was hoping this was about Deduno.......who looks like he might be a keeper. I will take my Pelfrey comments to that thread.
  17. Mike Sixel
    i cannot think of one person that is true of, certainly not me or jokin or the other "negative" posters. Most of us were quite complimentary of the Of trades this winter.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Maybe if he had made a trade for a DH, instead of having Becker and Tyner, maybe he would be proud of that. But unlike McPhail, Ryan did not ever go for it. Even under the same ownership and financial constraints. That is the point. Instead, because he did not do that, he is left with putting a million more dollars in his bosses pocket as his proudest trade. Certainly that has value, but not to the fans.

    Who cares what cubs fans think. I have no idea why you keep bringing that up. They were aggressive in signing and dealing MLB players, and now they are aggressive in international signings. I like that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    The cubs strategy shows that some teams are aggressive, and play to win. Are there any top 20 guys left?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I would be most proud of Kielty for Stewart also, the fact he isn't? Wow.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think being most proud of shedding payroll says it all. Makes me sad, really. If just once he had tried to play for the present, they might have another World Series. But I do not think it is in him. You all keep saying, just wait, things are different now. But so far, three years in, it is mor of the same.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It is very commone for privatlely held companies, especially those that go onto the next generation, to have problems with the old boy club. This is not uncommon at all in business. I guess we'll see over the next couple of years, but I think they are stuck in groupthink and way too isolated from new thinking. But maybe that's just an appearance, and they aren't....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Pay all of the salary, it is a sunk cost. There is no reason other than cheapness not to pay the full salary. Get more prospects, it is clear that is the only way games are meaningful here again, in the future.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I agree with the sentiment of this post. I think the Twins have a problem.
