    Anecdotally, MLB insiders are saying the jump from AAA to the majors is bigger than ever. Whether that is true or not I don't know.

    If Pablo is moved, they get at least 2 top 100 prospects, not middling ones. Not even close. I do think there is a tiny chance Pablo is moved, to Boston or Baltimore.

    Who hits if you deal them? Who plays SS? I can't see Lee getting dealt. Imagine the backup SS being WORSE than Lee and Farmer at everything for 50 games......They aren't signing any decent hitters, I have no idea how anyone can think this team is better dealing hitters.

    It was a rough year for a lot of rookies that were "sure things" across the league (hitter edition). I'm not going to worry about this rough start.

    I think they aren't disparging the WS teams, but this idea that the teams were even close to good most years they didn't win the WS. This site would have been calling for everyone's head after 1990..... This idea that Kelly was awesome is odd, given he had more losing than winning seasons. And Rocco has the highest winning percentage of any Twin's manager, if results matter....

    Not replacing him? Money, money, money. Not to mention Falvey likely was told he's fully in charge, prove it. My guesses, of course...
  7. Mike Sixel
    You don't write off a guy after this little time, not if you want to win long term. Seriously.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed with the last part. Likely the first also.

    I think Festa can be quite good. Matthews? I think his ceiling is lower, but he will eventually be no worse than an innings eater, but could be more . And I think he will be. The future is bright pitching wise.

    Well, this team has added real budget once maybe twice at the deadline under this ownership, so I'm not shocked. One should expect mistakes to be made when changing a culture, ripping them for every one is ridiculous, not that you do that. As for winning it all? I didn't expect that to happen, so I'm not really disappointed when it doesn't.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what happened to the budget after signing CC and Pablo ...I have no idea the constraints..... And I'm not going to defend many of the decisions on free agents.... But people are forgetting how truly awful this organization was before this FO arrived. Truly awful.
  12. Mike Sixel
    You quoted a guy talking about the playoff roster. Nothing sinister or whatever about my comment. Lighten up francis
  13. Mike Sixel
    Their playoff payroll is much, much, lower
  14. Mike Sixel
    Imagine Kirk with a defense
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think he's the starting 2b until one of two minor league players come up. However, it might be Lee, who is the only real backup SS on the 40 man.... With Castro playing second when Lee spells CC. Not what I'd do...
  16. Mike Sixel
    A tiny percent of all prospects work out, I'm not sure your point, other than coming into a celebration thread with this question....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Zero chance Jenkins starts in August. He's going to be saved for teh beginning of the year so they might have a ROY winner (which is a huge downside of the new rules). IMO, of course. I hope to be wrong, as i think he might be ready next fall (so I'm thinking April 26 he starts).
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think the mediocre veterans will continue to get squeezed by most teams. Overall? I don't think so, but it's possible.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They aren't selling it for 3B if they are losing money every year.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kelly had a losing record. Rocco has the highest winning percentage of any manager of the Twins. I'm not here to defend Rocco, but I'm not sure how to make those statements add up.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not worried about Lee long term. The others? I don't get what happened to Martin as a "get on base" kind of player, and this article doesn't even touch on his awful defense..... I don't think the Twins think the others have any future.
  22. Mike Sixel
    What does a floor really do? Should the white Sox sign a bunch of mediocre veterans and block young players, just to spend? They'll still be terrible. But make no progress to being better long term. I really don't know the answer....
  23. Mike Sixel
    MLB tried to buy the Fox regionals before diamond outbid them. They'll definitely try to take this in house somehow.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I can almost guarantee that another level of the minors is gone.... Especially with college baseball increasing. The owners will want someone else to pay four development. No idea if the bubble is finally bursting, but people have been saying the sports bubble will burst for years and years... I'll believe it when I see it.
