    They got other players too ... They didn't give him away. Not saying I liked the idea, but they got more value back, theoretically, than they gave up, by value of prospects.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Rocco barely played him the last two months, but he took a roster spot.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Pittsburgh doesn't have four legit MLB starters, they don't have depth.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Multiple? People here are seeing they need two to three guys in AAA ready to start. One? Sure, that's realistic for some teams, but an awful lot of teams don't even have four legit starters in the majors. We'll disagree on what's realistic, I'm ok with that. That's not unusual for me here.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm afraid that's not the lesson he'll learn..... But I share your sentiment. It's another reason to go young this year, to weed out guys and get others experience.

    Holding down skenes for an extra year of control might cost them a chance at the division this year. It better work better than it did with Strasburg, because it cost the nationals that first year. Plus, skenes is healthy and better than nearly all their pitchers right now.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think it's reasonable, I don't think as many teams succeed as people think. Twins are already down two, and are bringing up a guy many here believe in. How deep do you realistically expect them to be? Not that I'm defending the trade with Seattle as their only move....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Show me the teams with AAA pitchers that you expect to be better than back end. That's all I'm asking. There aren't many, any, when I look.
  9. Mike Sixel
    So, every team is a failure?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'm not relitigating things in the past. The question is, what now? Feel free if you want to mention polanco.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Did you check roster resource?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Polanco is gone. He's not an option.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Which teams are sitting on good pitchers in AAA, other than WTF is Pittsburgh doing?
  14. Mike Sixel
    There must be a reason belt isn't signed
  15. Mike Sixel
    Phew. One right! Alas.
  16. Mike Sixel
    They were told to cut the budget....which CF was available? Which SP was affordable? Which RH bat did you want (and to replace whom)? Hoskins was about it, imo, of the guys that were potential difference makers.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm hoping zero games. Just zero. Move on to the younger players, at least they offer hope for the future (even if they don't turn out). For a team on a budget, with Miranda and Larnach and Severino and Williams and almost anyone cant play first (almost) and Kiriloff.....this signing made zero sense. Zero sense.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think it is more a matter of "this guy is struggling, let's try the next one" for me at least. I agree on not trying to guess at the hot hand.... My issue with low ceiling, mediocre vets, is that they RARELY are not replacement level, and you are just holding back a guy that might be good (and that you might need in the future). Give me a chance at above average play (that can be optioned if it isn't working) every time.

    Tom: are the Twins done? Cleveland looks like they’ll win 90+, hard to see the Twins fixing the lineup + the 4 & 5 starters in time to keep up with that pace 2:39 Ben Clemens: I’m a little lower on them than our playoff odds (23% of winning the ALC) 2:39 Ben Clemens: Their best path is the Guardians struggling b/c of an accumulation of pitching injuries 2:40 Ben Clemens: I haven’t really downgraded my view of the Twins on a go-forward basis, but 8 games is a TON, which is what our odds say
  20. Mike Sixel
    Adam: Lets say the Twins continue to really underperform .. With Jhoan Duran set to come back this week, is he a under the radar trade candidate ?? Would love the O’s to get a guy like that who is controllable. Mayo for Duran ? 2:28 Ben Clemens: I think the Twins would jump all over themselves to make that deal 2:28 Ben Clemens: I don’t think it’d necessarily be an awful deal for the O’s, they have the whole issue of too many players for the major league roster 2:29 Ben Clemens: but that’s a great prospect to get for a reliever 2:29 Ben Clemens: even a really good reliever
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you aren't tryin to win, you aren't trying to win....agreed.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Let's relitigate stuff again!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the information! As always, great to have you here.
  24. Mike Sixel
    This, every day, this. And with hitters too....
  25. Mike Sixel
    How many teams have good starters in AAA, not being down for no reason? I'd guess very few, if any. The Twins at least have SWR to try as a realistic option. This idea that they are failures for not having good starters in AAA does not reflect reality of the rest of the league at all.
