    So why is Gibson not up, then? Do you think there are five guys better than him? Do you think he is not mentally ready?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Probably because they have been so bad at drafting lately.......
  3. Mike Sixel
    But they have so much to show for Benson, Span, and Revere........
  4. Mike Sixel
    Just do not care so much would be the Buddha's advice.

    Self fulfilling prophecy....sign low priced, bad players, get bad results. It is not FA that is broken.......btw, how many good starters has this team got on its roster right now that it drafted? Last year, how many? They have been terrible at drafting players also.....should they just not try at all?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to him.
  7. Mike Sixel
    So he throws softer in the minors? Three of four great starts, if it is about consistency, he will be up soon......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Congrats. They could use a surprise.

    Gibson will be 26 this year, you might want to count on 10 years in a Twins uni.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Meaningful games

    I said something to the effect of "if youre team generally acts a certain way, is it unreasonable for fans to think that's what is happening"......I never said it was actually about that. Oh, and explain to me this......how does keeping him in AAA help him develop more than having him here? How many good starts in a row does he need before he comes up? What the measure? Parmalee and Hendriks dominated AAA, how'd that turn out? And we think Deduno and Hernandez and Walters are ready? Why does Gibson have to be a finished product before he comes up, if neither Hicks or Arcia had to be finished products? I mean, if we are going to search for cross-player consistency, why the difference? I have no idea what Ryan is thinking, clearly. I can only go by his general behavior. I think Hicks is mostly up because he had no other options, none. I think Gibson is not up because he has other options, so he can keep him down for whatever reason.

    Why do we care if they are claimed, though? Are either going to help this team win, this year or next year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    We are just going to disagree on this one, I think. No biggie, at this point we are both doing projections that are years out......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Frazier isn't going under slot, not enough to matter anyway. But yes, Frazier or Shipley or even Stanek are my preference over Moran.
  15. Mike Sixel
    No idea, but it is one of the most depressing.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Yes, Carroll is more fun to watch............but this year is over, and Carroll is closer to my age than to Gibson's age......leave Dozier in, and see if he can swim or not. This is the year (well, last year was, but whatever) to gather information on their players that might or might not be part of the future.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Just leave him up, and see if he can play this whole year or not. EVERY young guy that has MLB experience should be up unless there is an obvious replacement. I think we are learning this is who Dozier is......which is fine, if they are willing to bring Rosario up next year, I guess. btw, there is an obvious replacment for Worley, so I had no issue with him moving down.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Or the color of his hair.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, with another 20MM coming off the books this year, and $25MM more in revenue, worrying about super 2 is really key to the success of this team in the next 4 years.....sorry, it just isn't relevant. It's not.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Some of these are not so fun..... My number today is three....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd make Parmalee the DH, and tell him produce, or get cut at the end of the year. Find out what he's got, physically and mentally.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No is arguing that pitchers don't contribute to wins and losses (I don't think anyone is saying that). We are saying that the W-L stat tells you nothing useful at all about how a pitcher pitched. So, if a pitcher pitches 5 innings, gives up 5 runs, but his team scored 6, he gets a W. What does the W tell you? Nothing. If a pitcher comes in, gives up 2 runs and blows a lead, but then his team comes back and wins, he can get the W. What does the W tell you? Nothing. If a pitcher goes 9 innings, and gives up1 run, but his team does not score, he gets an L. What does that L tell you? Nothing. Yes, 100%, a pitcher contributes to winning and losing, but there are literally dozens of stats that tell you how he did that, and none of them are W-L. None of them.
  23. Mike Sixel
    My issue with Doumit is that he's not hitting enough to justify being a DH.......that's a problem for this team. He's not part of the future, dump him and call up a real catcher. Don't care if he's in AA or what. I am ready for a blow up like when the Twins called up Hrbeck and partners and rode youngsters to lots of losses, but with hope, instead of older guys with no hope.

    Here are the picks after Berrios last year: Bard, Melotakis, Chargois....and you are confident in the FO ability to draft players? May has all the problems he had last year, when experts said he was not a starter anymore. Worley has been awful. So, Meyer was maybe a good trade. And Buxton was a good pick, and maybe Berrios was a good pick (there are still experts on line saying his stuff is not as great as it appears). So what is so much better about the future than before last year? If it is Buxton, well, they had the 2nd pick in the draft. Any of hte guys taken there or a few picks later look great.....so that's not like some genius move, imo. So, what, exactly, makes you feel they are doing a great job rebulding the system this last year? Meyer - plus Buxton - plus, but any of the picks right after him would be plusses May - big question mark Berrios - very mixed opinions on line Next three picks - not good, or hurt (like they were in college) Worley - awful so far So, what did the FO really do that makes you so confident about the future also?
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's too bad Bard, Melotakis, and Chargois aren't doing much (or anything) this year. That was a lot of high draft picks, with nothing to show for them.
