    I think Buxton is toast, btw. I am not SURE of it, but I think it.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Why do you expect them to say anything at all? What they say matters zero, what they do? That matters.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Then they trade up for Daniels? Or McCarthy? I don't think they are dealing with NE, but I could be wrong, so I think it is McCarthy.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I had no interest in Bellinger at any price he'd accept. None.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I would have gone for Hoskins, but not Turner.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    He's the one that made me think this was possible....
  7. Mike Sixel
    They are the ones choosing not to use high picks on pitchers.....so, IMO, it is ok to compare them. They have chosen to go bats, bats, bats (some of them awful) in the first two rounds almost exclusively.

    I don't really care about Gordon one way or the other, really....my point (as you know) is that Farmer really has one role on this team, backup SS. Martin could be the short side platoon at 2B (though I'd just play, you know, their best hitter that is healthy most of the time). He could also be the short side platoon in the OF. They could have spent the Margot, Santana, Farmer money on a legit 1B or thrown the dice at a SP (not sure who, frankly). Or just pocketed it, that would have been better for the team at this point. Why they refuse to trust the farm is beyond confusing. If they don't trust their farm, they really should fire themselves.....The seem to trust Lee, despite the tiny sample size....and of course he somehow managed to get hurt when both Lewis and CC are hurt (and we still have zero updates on his status, or Jenkins').

    I think that's why I wouldn't also....it isn't a championship team and I'm willing to risk injury for these two w/o that being the case......but I'm bored with the same old topics (and general negativity) on the site....

    I'd be down with Stewart pitching that much, but he isn't, is he?
  11. Mike Sixel
    They had one position open, really, and that was first base. I'm not sure why anyone would expect them to replace any other starter. That said, agreed, the problem here is offense.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I defended the pipeline the last few years, as it takes time to actually develop pitchers.... But it's time for someone to be at least reliable other than Ober. SWR might be that guy, but we'll not know any time soon. The promise of a few prospects means nothing of no one new cintributes seriously this year, given how many mediocre guys starting in Minnesota.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Would anyone consider moving Duran or Stewart back to starting? I'm fairly sure I would not .... But it crossed my mind today....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agree on all fronts. Martin over Margot was an easy choice. Santana? Never liked this at all, and they'll hang into him forever. They love veterans. The youth carried this team last year and they went out and bet on old, mediocre, players? I wanted them fired if they didn't make the playoffs last year, and if they don't this year? I'm ready to move on. If Farmer isn't the backup SS, they should have kept Gordon. I don't know if there is a cheap SP I liked.... So I don't know what to do there given they cut payroll. In any event, they decided not to trust the farm, again, and the guys they brought in are even worse than I feared....
  15. Mike Sixel
    4-5? Compared to what other pitchers? Wow.
  16. Mike Sixel
    So, no credit for coaching at the MLB level? If anyone thought he was a number three when traded, he'd have brought back a lot more than he did. We'll just disagree, I'm ok with that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I guess we'll just disagree, given how he compared to all the other LF last year. I'm ok with that
  18. Mike Sixel
    We just going to litigate this in every thread now?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm suggesting they developed him to what he is. In response to saying they've developed no one. He was 77th in era last year among pitchers throwing 100 innings or more, so ya, he's a number three.
  20. Mike Sixel
    He had the second highest wtc+ of all LF last year. What would have impressed you?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Are you suggesting Ryan was a finished product when they acquired him? He was a number three pitcher traded for three months of a DH?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Nah. If he fails here, someone will sign him. He's likely better than what Chicago or Oakland is fielding....
  23. Mike Sixel
    No. Alas. Except Martin is playing OF, so yes?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree with others, if Farmer isn't here to backup SS, why is he here, especially with the budget cuts? Really confused at the decision making here.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they will call up one of those guys and need Kemp to replace them? Not that this veteran loving FO would do that...
