    Approved. High upside.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Hard to believe, given the importance of the draft.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Having a guy on the limited roster, that you hope never, ever plays, seems like bad strategy to me. There was an article on Fangraphs last week about Milwaukee, and why they are bad this year despite having some superstart type hitters/fielders. Their conclusion is that the stars and scrubs plan is tough to pull off, if the scrubs are below replacement level......and that every single spot on the roster needs to add some value.

    Not to mention the Yankees and others have multiple picks....while they can't go over slot in the draft, players know the Yankees will reward them well if they make the majors....I just think undershooting talent is super risky, way more risky than taking a HS player......

    Just curious, but if you would not take a pitcher high out of fear of injury/failure....how do you proprose your team ever get elite pitching? Appel Gray Bryant/Stewart Stanek Shipley Anyone else
  6. Mike Sixel
    What a great set of stories. Thanks to Seth and the players.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Great, great series. Thank you.

    It is interesting to see what he does in AA. The thing that is interesting about it is that his success is at least as good as in college, and yet many say college is like low A. Seth, can his slider work at higher levels at that speed? Does it break that much?
  9. Mike Sixel
    One player is for sure.....Doumit is on fire the last week or so.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't think Boras is an issue.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Would be amazing if the Twins got him. Appel, Gibson, Meyer/Baxendale, Diamond, x......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Excited about Baxendale's start. Good news indeed.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Apologies, I misunderstood your post. So the point was, they spent the most? That is true for sure.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I should have just left that part off.......the point is, athletes take steroids, HGH, stimulaants, and lots of other drugs because they think they work, no matter what any study does or does not say. That's not the only reason, but it's a big, big, big reason. Or maybe they are all just lying. Hard to say. *edited for speeeeling. **twice.....sigh
  15. Mike Sixel
    the implication of the statement was that they somehow spent more than other teams, because they wanted to.....not because they could. They spent more than other teams because they had the highest alloted budget. At least I think that's a fair conclusion to reach.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't, but the whole point of most of these discussions is to offer our thoughts and opinions. Not sure what your issue is.
  17. Mike Sixel
    The team with the most high picks, that had the biggest budget? That spent less than that budget? Was it that one?
  18. Mike Sixel
    A great example of why sometimes other teams trade "top prospects" for proven players......
  19. Mike Sixel
    They are filled with "can't miss" young players, who are missing badly right now. JoePos' recent stories on their "power" have been fun reading.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm hoping to move there in 2 years or so.....can you wait?
  21. Mike Sixel
    So 50+ years of MLB players taking stimulants because they believe it improves their games, is all about addiction, and not what they've all said which is that it is about using PEDs?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Love the in-person reports, thanks!
  23. Mike Sixel
    So all those MLB players like to get high? It isn't about studies, it is about belief, and for more than 6 decades at least, MLB players and others have believed that stimulants help them. heck, there are studies showing steroids don't help all that much, but people still took them.
  24. Mike Sixel
    KLAW report includes commentary from Tony Gwynn, estimating that more than half of MLB players while he played used stimulants........
  25. Mike Sixel
    why? Why is this scenario so hard for the Twins' fans and FO to imagine/do? One big FA signing, call up your best pitching prospect. Imagine if they had kept Span, had Sanchez instead of Pelfrey, and Gibson up nowish......you don't think Span's offense and Sanchez instead of Pelfrey gives you 5 more wins right now? You don't think Sanchez and Gibson and Diamond as your top 3 is a legit starting rotation? Add another median FA next year, or maybe Wimmers or Baxendale or a trade target to move in front of Diamond? It isn't that hard to fix this rotation, if you are willing to spend money.
