    Agreed.....I was posting what i think will happen, not what I want to happen....
  2. Mike Sixel
    This, 100% this.
  3. Mike Sixel
    that didn't work quite right.....or maybe it is on my end:
  4. Mike Sixel
    So basically, not every decision is easy......that is kind of the hard part of having a roster of guys that are all kind of the same right now.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Oldgoat, I agree, if Deduno can give you 60-70% good starts, they should be able to put up with the bad ones.....how many starters give you more than that? Give me 20 quality starts as a fan, and I'm happyish about baseball.

    What happened to Baxendale?
  7. Mike Sixel
    We don't know what will happen, and maybe the Twins don't either. But I fail to see how quoting Ryan, when he says something, is wrong somehow. We only know a: what happened; b: what they say will happen. For the future, we can extrapolate from past behavior, and their words. Ryan said what he said, I don't see how repeating that somehow makes people bad/wrong/evil/not real fans.

    I'm a fan of leaving Deduno in the rotation all year, to see if he can harness his stuff or not. I think he's a placeholder for May / Meyer, frankly. I still think Hendriks, as bad as he's been in the majors, can be the number 5...... Gibson Diamond KC Deduno Hendriks Next year to start, followed by May / Meyer at some point. With potentially Wimmers and Baxendale waiting in the wings. I'd really like 1-2 more high upside arms closer to the majors, but that will have to wait for the really young guys to mature, I think.

    I would love to see Colabello be rewarded more, but I don't see the fit given the current roster. Though, Jay has a point, there are ways around this......hopefully by July this is taken care of....
  10. Mike Sixel
    My money would be on him spending all year in high A, and I personally would have no issue with that....next year in AA and maybe AAA/MLB. That's plenty fast for a HS player.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Great write up! Another player I'm hoping to see in MN late this year, next year.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm with spycake, he has greatly exceeded any expectations I had (probably most of us....who thought he might be the top prospect in baseball....). Based on everything we read, he seemed likely to be more raw / toolsy this early in his career. Looking forward to seeing him in MN in 1-3 years.....

    Actually it is the USA Today one....and I'll try to grab a shot next time it appears, and not the "trcik you won't believe for more testosterone" ad.....an ad series I find odd and feel almost compelled to click on.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    It is much more fun to watch the Twins when they are young, and potentially getting better, than old with not much hope for the future. I'm thrilled Arcia, Hicks and Gibson are up this year. It has been too long between promotions of players that are legit MLB starters, which I think all three of these are. Things are looking up for sure. I agree with the above posts on some players that will transition up next year, though I think there is a chance Tonkin is up this year.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Great news. I'm just happy they did it. The past is over and done with, I'm ready to watch / listen and enjoy. Congrats to Gibson (and the Twins and their fans, I believe) on the start of a new phase of his career.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think he has a really good shot.....he's good, and not many other rookies are in the AL.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Parmalee should be starting at 1B no later than the trade deadline. Either Justin is dealt, or they just play Parmalee anyway. REALLY need to see what they have in him, or not.
  19. Mike Sixel
    That ad covers up the top 2-3 parts of the site right below it.....not sure there is anything you can do about it....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Awesome news.
  21. Mike Sixel
    wow, great update and detail, thanks Seth.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Nice!
  23. Mike Sixel
    mattkummer, great post. thanks,
  24. Mike Sixel
    The timerames do seem to move for a lot of people....like for Buxton, everyone told me not to be mad, he'd be up after the all star break...don't worry. Now, it's, well, it doesn't matter, he'll be up eventually. At some point, it does matter......especially for pitchers, whose arms are ticking timebombs frankly.
  25. Mike Sixel
    good post limestonebaggy.....for me, it was the 2nd year (well, that and he was THE signing).....so far, he has been better than I expected.....hope to continue to be wrong
