    Learn something everyday....thx

    They have 3-5 outfielders that could be ready next year, why would you not trade from a position of strength, to fill tje holes in the middle infield and starting pitching
  3. Mike Sixel
    How do you get better without trading?
  4. Mike Sixel
    No idea why he is still in the gcl at this point. Not sure I understand the thinking. He throwing the same way in either league, right?
  5. Mike Sixel
    On this, we agree 100%

    The Howard contract was riduculously bad. They outbid themselves, no one else was going to pay that. Just bad. I have no major issue with the Halladay and Lee signings, frankly. That is the cost of great pitching these days.

    It isn't often you see this negative an article from Joe or LaVelle.

    Too much patience might not cause failure, but it might flush a year or two of productive major league time down the drain. It might also limit the pitchers' time in the majors, if you buy the thought that for most pitchers there are only so many pitches in their arm. I really don't know which process works better, but neither team has exactly been successful lately at developing a lot of good players from their system. Also, two systems isn't really enough sample size to decide. I'd bet there is research someplace on the interwebs that considers this, but I've never looked for it.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agree

    I am pretty tired of the attacks on people on this site, rather than their ideas. Is there a reason we cannot disagree reasonably, without exaggerating everything the "other side" says?
  11. Mike Sixel
    If you can deal a guy that plays 60 innings a game for an everyday player, you do it.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Great post sir.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I would be disappointed if they do not deal more.
  14. Mike Sixel
    The part of the farm system Smith is accountable for is the strongest part of the system....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Dangit....gotta pay attention to autofill on the phone before hitting post.....at least we got some humor in this thread...

    I stand by what I have said since they brought him back, he should get at least 1 mote offseason to male them better and younger before reaching some conclusion in the job he is doing.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Actually, Nick, it is the opposite. The twins are generally getting thw young guys, it is like the other teams are farm systems for them.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Good post by cdog, I certainly hope I am in the first group, when I am pessimistic, which is probably about 70% of my posts here lately....which is too high a percent for even my comfort.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I will judge Ryan on whether or not the team is very good to great, or not. That is his job, to make the team good.
  20. Mike Sixel
    No, if these were the best deals, they should take them. It would he shortsighted to pass just to not help a division rival. How is it worse than trading with any other team? Actually, if it is a rental player for prospects, you are theoretically helping yourself even more in the long run by weakening a rival's future.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Did I read they are moving him to first some? That must mean Sano is staying at third next year, u would guess.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I get the nishioka part, unless he voluntarily voids his deal, they will be paying him next year, won't they? Maybe I misunderstand how that works.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Riverbain makes an excellent point, all we can do is predict the future, but many of us talk about it as if it is some sure thing....It's a good reminder to all (me included) of us to be less certain in some of our posts about the future....that said, there are people that twist this, and say we should never try to comment or predict the future, because we cannot be certain about it. That would lead to an interesting world, frankly....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Yes, when the Twins sign a legit free agent for multiple years and big money, not to replace a departing player, but to add talent, I will change my tune, absolutely. Until then, consider me Missouri.... This is not an indictment on them, I am merely answering your question about me.

    Again, the real hard lesson is that to get quality, you have to give up quality.
