    Every pitcher but Gibson should go. But we all know that won't happen.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    My point about money was that they will not be winning next year if they do not sign some legit players. There is not enough help coming early next year to fix this team.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I think the average fan has already lost their attachment to the team, and it will only get worse before it gets better, unless Ryan spends real money next year on legit MLB players.

    I never understood the issue with Slowey the person, if the Twins were going to lose today, I'm happy he got the win and not some random guy.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I actually got to watch the first two innings or so over lunch.....was fun. Glad I went back to work....

    I don't get why fringe guys don't learn the splitter, screwball, knuckler, whatever they need to learn once it is clear they are fringe guys, to get to the majors.* *not saying Logan is that, that was a genereal sentence
  7. Mike Sixel
    No.

    On what planet does Morneau turn down over $10MM in a tender situation? No chance, zero, none, notta, nil, zip, he turns that down. It would be pure insanity to tender him a deal. He has been bad for more than a year now, why does anyone think (not feel, but think) he'll be worth more than $3MM or so?
  9. Mike Sixel
    This is why you can never have too many pitchers in your org......

    Every team gets $25MM in free revenue next year.....making cliff lee not look too expensive for several teams, I'd guess..... As you may recall, Ryan has said several times that according to research, teams that dedicate too much money to 1-3 players do not do well. I'd guess that was him telling us there is no way he trades for, or signs, a guy like Cliff lee. Which bums me out, the guy can pitch.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'd suggest it had something to do with the lineup the Twins put out, and the fact they faced a good pitcher......

    Nice to read the comments from both the Twins and Logan. Pretty cool stuff, Seth. I have no idea how good he is, or is not. But, generally, guys the Twins move that fast end up having some kind of MLB career, from ok to good. Here's hoping he succeeds on the good side!
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'd say basestealing is the skill Buxton needs a lot of work on right now.....again, Seth, thanks for doing this. One of the first things I read every am.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree with vervehound......go all in on the rebuild. You aren't tanking, you are still playing the best players you have, they just might not be ready (or good) yet. But that's as much about playing for the future and getting guys' feet wet, and seeing what you have as anything else that might happen.
  15. Mike Sixel
    No reason to keep him, but you are not getting anything for him either. So sad, one of my favorite players and people on the twins.
  16. Mike Sixel
    You forgot Wimmers.....agree on Pelfrey 100%
  17. Mike Sixel
    I figured his ceiling was just unicorn good......but super magic too? That's not something I ever imagined.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't think it is clear the Twins are executing a rebuild strategy at all......unless they are playing these guys to trade them.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Doubling down on the starter with the 2nd worst ERA of starters with at least 60 innings pitched? Not a good bet.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't know.....there can't be a lot of walkup ticket action based on hammer and doumit, can there?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I agree, if Worley is healthy, it is better for him to be here than Pelfrey, same with Hendriks (though Worley has been effective in the majors). Signing Pelfrey was a good roll of the die, but it seems to be coming up a 1 right now.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agree with the premise / conclusion....the manager should be able to find a way for Parmalee and Arcia to play 4 of 5 days or so.....the team should be playing mostly for the future at this point, imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Big fan of Kepler. Hoping he makes a nice adjustment to A ball this year. He's either starting in the OF or 1B in MN in 4 years.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    frightwig, love the information! love the data! thanks, context is always good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    At work, I never use it oustide work.....the next few weeks are product demo weeks, lots of time to spend here.....which might not make some people happy!
