    great points! I generally agree, btw, that they should concentrate on the expiring deals. More likely do the others only if others call them first......there are more bidders for all the players they control in the off season anyway....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm going to guess here.....and maybe when gleeman and the geek talked to levine they heard this, but I'm guessing every single player on every single team (majors and minors) is in a database the TWins have, and they aren't "looking at hte players" other than maybe having some scouts eyeball them a bit. I just think, and I could be wrong, they already know everything there is to publicly know about every player out there for the most part.
  3. Mike Sixel
    So, the same problem as now......hmmmm....I sense a pattern.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I'm not thrilled neither worked, and I don't like how they handled either.....but at this point I just think they need to move on. Which means they won't, and will get nothing for them.....or they'll sit in AAA giving them nothing but blocking others from moving up.....(can you tell I'm down on the FO?)
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather wait for the off season, when there are more bidders, and I agree with you on the minimum get. As for the OP and premise, I just wonder how people think this team is getting fixed w/o trading valuable players to fill the massive offensive holes here.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I hadn't realized he'd been that good. They won't be dealing him.....oh well.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Don't worry, Ty France will absolutely crush it tonight (posted just for you! :) ).I can't see them scoring much against Gore, so Matthews will have to be really, really, good.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I mean, there is a lot to like here, but Pablo and Joe completely disprove one of your facts. I agree, he's created this mess and I don't think he's the right one to fix it because of that....
  9. Mike Sixel
    yes, but this thread isn't about those! Other than saying you want to keep the, but I just don't see a path for Julien or Miranda given what is in the minors and majors (maybe first? but I put Keaschell there for at least the rest of this year).
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd be looking for a team with a failed starter on the 40 man, who wants to see if they can fix Julien or Miranda......a challenge trade for both. Frankly, it is hard to see any of these three getting dealt. But it is just a discussion board....so I'm discussing. I guess.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Ya, this is a real issue......but I'm trying not to say "fire the FO and manager" every post!
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'll ask again, where do you see Miranda or Julien ever getting a shot in MN again? Also, you want to use two 40 man spots on them next year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm fairly sure they have enough employees to do both......
  14. Mike Sixel
    The question is what should they do with them now.....not what they did in the past. Where do you see Julien or Miranda ever getting a shot here? So, sure, complain about the past, I don't disagree (esp. on Martin), but that's not really relevant to this discussion of what to do now at all.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Give me a flawed starter who I can maybe turn into a RP......
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'd much rather they give Keaschell one position (first base or LF is my preference, but that arm.....). Same with Culpepper, one position (third or second?).
  17. Mike Sixel
    They have to be dealt before 40 man rosters are set for next year (or end of this year, can't recall)....as they either need to be on teh 40 man or not. (I vote not, other than Martin). If they can sweeten another deal or get anything back, I do it. Julien I think has value, but he has no path to playing time in MN at this point.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He's about 100x better than what Philly has had for three years now, and they are competing for WS. He absolutely has value to them. How much value is the question....You want to DFA a 1.5-2 win player (which he was last year)? Unreal.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Interesting idea. I'd be in favor of something like this.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I doubt Martin or Miranda have any value, but Martin should be replacing Castro. He'll either build value or not .... I think Julien has value and could be an add on to get more in a trade.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I think Philly would absolutely love to have him. I wonder what you can get for him and one of the second tier RPs? I'd deal him and promote Gonzalez. Let him get his feet wet this year.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Anthony is a hard one to understand. He wasn't drafted for to a college gambling scandal. Had issues with the fastball, but is hitting well this year. I'd flip Crawford for something else if I could, but it might be a fair deal, that fans will hate.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I said what we thought. You can think what you want. It's a free country. We just don't agree. I'm ok with that.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I mean, it is possible. He's obliterating his forecasts....but I'd be surprised. Who is their CF when Pages leaves?
  25. Mike Sixel
    You aren't getting Pages for a RP. He's put up more than 3 war this year and has more control left than either RP. He's a star. If that was offered, the Twins should say yes, and the Dodgers should fire their GM.
