    If the BPA is another toolsy outfielder and your gm will not trade prospects for major league players, where do you ever get pitching? Oh, and he will not sign elite free agents either....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Apple would immediately be the Twins top pitching prospect. He projects as a number two starter. How is that not worth taking, given this staff? He is also pretty close to MLB ready. Passing on him would not make sense.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Then why keep Mornreau, Span, or Willingham? If they really wanted to, they could try to compete next year. If they are not going to do that, those three and Doumit should all be trades. Yes, they should try to find a shortstop for next year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think the point is that these callups do nothing to male us hopeful about next year. Another year of no impacts coming up.

    Shaun Marcum is not a 10-15 win player. Your only real change is one pitcher. I cannot see that being the answer.
  6. Mike Sixel
    If you will not trade the veterans, how do you plan to get better?

    The disgusting part is that crummy pitchers with bad track records can do well in September, tricking the GM into thinking he doesn't need to go get pitchers. I hope Slama is cut free from this organization, and dominates them every single day of his career. I really do.

    Trade morneau and Willingham. Put hicks, revere and arcia as the starting outfield, with span moving around on healthy days. Put parmalee at first, use the freed up money to get pitching or middle infield help.

    What a great show.

    the use did not add value to the comments, but was used to generalize a group of people. If the author was not implying anything by the use of the term, then that was not the message received. An expression in the communications field is " message sent is not always message received". So if the word was not uses to imply something negative, why was it used at all?
  11. Mike Sixel
    good question.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Wait, he played ZERO games in Rochester in the OF, and now he is starting in the OF in the majors? That seems odd to me.

    Terry Ryan shouldn't grant interviews? Terry Ryan is the GM of a MLB team. Part of his job is PR, which involves responding to the press, which is one way you generate interest in your product, which is part of how you sell tickets. Ignoring your customers is rarely a good business strategy. Agree with USAFChief, PR is part of the job.

    I want a pitcher, since Ryan has stated he will not pay for an elite arm I free agency, the only way they will get one is in the draft.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope they use that payroll flexibility and make the team substantially better.

    It hurts nothing to test the waters. I would deal him, but only for one legit MLB starting player in his prime years and at least one minor league big time prospect. But I would only do that if I planned to sign one elite free agent pitcher and another pitcher.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I should mot have read that article. Little this team does is how i would do it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Love that young staff, I was begging for a trade for Skaggs last offseason or during this year....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't give a rat's butt about service time. I want the best players up in the majors. If there is a logjam, make some trades, because there are plenty of holes to fill.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Great stat for Hendriks. That's the key takeaway for me from this game.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Thanks Brock, hope all is well. As for the date stamp, yes, that was nice, very nice.
  22. Mike Sixel
    For me, I have no idea if Slama will be good or not. But, these are the facts: 1. Gray is not good. 2. Slama is cheaper, and is from their system, and has had success in the minors. 3. Slama has not proven if he's good in the majors or not. logicial conclusion, dfa Gray, give Slama a legit audition.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The only thing that would hurt him with starting in AA, is if that delayed his arrival to the majors past when he was ready to be up here and contributing. So, if leaving him in AA doesn't mean they don't promote him "because he has no time at AAA", then I don't care much. I just don't want players sitting in the minors, when they are better than guys in the majors, or guys blocking them could be traded to make room for them when the team is thin in talent.

    I'm good with Ads. I'm good with sliding ads. I'm not thrilled with ads that pop into the middle of the screen, probably won't stop me from coming, but it is a bummer.

    So a one inning guy that pitches only 45 innings in the 9th is worth millions, but a one inning guy that can get guys out in the 7th or 8th (unlike Gray and others, who, ya, can pitch more than one inning but can't get people out when they do) isn't worth anything? Mind boggling. Give the guy a chance, and see if his success can translate or not. What the heck do they have to lose, exactly? The clear reasons for not promoting him are clearly stated, they think the stats are lying, and he's not good enough to get out MLB pitchers because his pitches don't move enough, despite the fact that he has succeeded at every level.
