    Ha, I cannot see that nickname sticking.....way too highbrow for this organization.
  2. Mike Sixel
    And if the angels have injuries and other issues derail them in the future, that year of control will be meaningless. The present is much more knowable than 6 years from now. It would clearly would not have been rushing him to the majors last year, and now they lost one of his peak years in terms of making the playoffs.
  3. Mike Sixel
    His outcomes were not good, how is the scouting report on the starter?
  4. Mike Sixel
    And I want the best players up here....would your story change if it was not a lost year? How well did it turn out last year for the Angels to keep trout sown, for example.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I got it nick, and laughed.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    My question is not what should he say.....it is, what if he really does think that? I am not sure why people keep saying he does not believe it...we so no know what he believes. Him believing it would explain their lack of moves.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I am with nick on this.....110%....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I expect him to say that....my question was does he really strongly believe this is a good team, that does not need to add much talent to be a serious contender?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Maybe he means they will be playing other teams fighting for the playoffs, that would be meaningful. nick, I also am no expert, but the over under is 64.....is it realistic to have a strong belief they will be competitive? If he thinks this pitching staff really is good, how likely is it they will try to get better? That might be the issue, they actually do believe they are good now.

    Outfieldsies Nasties (nicknames are stupid ies)
  11. Mike Sixel
    If he really does believe that, what does that say about his baseball knowledge vs nearly every expert?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not worthless, but not worth as much as having him pitch in the majors, so fans do not have to watch AAA starters at MLB prices. That said, if they held him back for three weeks, fine. But when they hold him back for 3 months, that will be an issue.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Correct...service years are not an issue.
  14. Mike Sixel
    He is 25...arms are only good for a limited number of years. The clock is ticking the way of pitch him, not sit him.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Rebuilding teams should not be signing anyone older than 25 or 30.....I am baffled by the refusal to use young unproven players.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Bizarro world that you would even think that in a rebuilding year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Who cares if they are claimed? Neither is part of the long term future of the club, that's the point. It has no bearing on 14 or 15 if Wood or Roenecke or even Swarzak are on the roster. If you need arms, call up the AAAA guys from AAA. That's what AAA is for. As stated above, the Twins are way to hesitant to use their minors, and to cut bait on awful decisions.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Mind boggling that it matters, these are mediocre relievers. Who cares who has options, put the best players on the roster. Does it really matter if you lose a mediocre 29 year old middle reliever?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Would be great if he made the rotation....if he's one of the 5 best, he should be up here. But we've had that conversation over and over.....I'm just glad he appears healthy and effective.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm with Nick, let's see what they have. He's already in his prime....put them out there, and see if there is any hope for a future there or not. More time in the minors will show them nothing. Look at Slama, dominates AAA, but isn't called up because he's missing something. What would going to AAA and doing well do for a 26 year old?
  21. Mike Sixel
    For a team that prides itself on loyalty, giving Tim Wood a better shot that Slama makes no sense. It used to baffle me that he is not getting a shot, but it is now in the Punto/Butera camp....it is just part of who the Twins are.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    It is a pattern, though, ignoring long term results, either positive or negative in favor of something......I'd rather they keep the 24 year old, and cut any reliever that isn't Burton or Perkins or Duensing that is over 29.....if you are going to build, build.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Backup. This season is about finding out what they have or so not have for the future, not starting guys only a decade or so younger than me.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Good news....they signed a FA that will contribute to the team this year....
  25. Mike Sixel
    This. At this point, who cares, because they don't.
