    I don't know what will happen, but if this team is healthy and they don't blow the vast majority of one run games, they win the division last year. The SP and RP is better to start this year than last year..... So, sure, they could win. That's why I don't believe for one minute they are trading Kepler or anyone else.
  2. Mike Sixel
    The Twins are better off with Gallo and a prospect, than with Kepler and 2.5 million they won't spend.
  3. Mike Sixel
    The leverage didn't change. That's just not how it works. And, does he really? come on.
  4. Mike Sixel
    No issue. I was just clarifying, since I was unclear
  5. Mike Sixel
    So, you get the same player plus a prospect, that's a win. I remain convinced they aren't trading Kepler
  6. Mike Sixel
    The asking price didn't change. Why would it?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I never said they were...
  8. Mike Sixel
    There is a study out there showing that teams that trade more often get better faster than teams that are afraid to lose trades and sit pat..... I'd trade him, but I really don't think they will.

    They have four drafts they could have found a pitcher. Some of that had to be used on hitting. They traded part of that for Gray, but that doesn't count. They traded for Ryan. Does anyone think TB thought Ryan would be this good, for 2.5 months of a hitter? I would hope they had one more established starter by now....but no one trusts a guy that debuted last year, so that's actually three drafts (since the last three don't count, as no one is up from the last two, and apparently we don't trust rookies, which, given the data, makes sense. Less than half of rookie starters are good more than a year or two later.....). So, how many do you expect in three years? I was hoping for 1.

    Of the three, Martin is the only one in that last that "needs to prove something." Prielipp hasn't even pitched yet....I have no idea how he's on this list. Severino and Javier could be on this list. And, as someone said above, Jordy B (not even going to try to spell his name).
  11. Mike Sixel
    How many pitchers would you expect them to have "fixed" in 6 years of drafting (no player taken in the last two years is in the majors)? I'm guessing you'll see Ober, Varland, and SWR in the majors this year. Dobnak, before getting hurt, was exactly this pitcher. We all forget how good he was two years ago. Then there is Ryan. So many injuries the last few years.....Oh, and they traded one of those guys for Gray. Which clearly reduces the pipeline. This doesn't count Jax or Duran in the bullpen.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Facts, what are they good for?
  13. Mike Sixel
    We really have nothing left to talk about?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Kepler over .300? I'll take the under.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't know..... Three years of Polanco (above average 2B signed to a good deal) Trade Kepler for a prospect in the 4-10 range for Boston. A guy that should fill the back of your rotation for 6 years (Varland). For one year of a player? Heck, they can likely deal Polanco for 2 good prospects if they really want. I'd do that if I'm Boston all day. Three years of Polanco and 6 of Varland is a lot of certainty compared to getting a couple highly rated prospects. That said, if Boston is punting the next couple years, I'd rather get Lee and Varland than Polanco and Varland. But I think people are over-estimating what you can get for 1 year of a player (unless you are dealing with a team that is certain to extend him, like SD or Seattle or NYY).

    I don't think 11 MM is the issue, it's three years for a RP that was hurt the last two.
  17. Mike Sixel
    snowflakes? Ugh.
  18. Mike Sixel
    At this point? I probably go with the young guys. This roster isn't constructed to win it all, I don't think. May was well see what they have. Also, guys with options allow them to send guys up and down when there are issues, whereas these guys don't. But, if they sign a couple, I'm also ok with that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    A three year deal for a RP that was hurt the last two years is not a deal I'd make.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    You quoted my response to someone talking about Buxton. As for CC, they if they felt there was an issue, they likely didn't fear it given it was really a one year deal.
  21. Mike Sixel
    We are trading for one year of a player that they likely won't sign to a long term deal. Why?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ok. But the post you responded to was about Buxton, so I'm not sure your point.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Bassit is the one I'd want from that list. I would have preferred one of last year's starters.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    What makes you think the Twins will pay that? And, it blocks Miranda and Lee.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Three or four years of Arraez, plus Kepler and a prospect for one of Devers? To what end? They won't pay him for an extension.
