    I don't expect 150 innings from hardly any MLB starters anymore. 55 pitchers did that last year in all of MLB.

    I have extremely low expectations of this trade deadline for the Twins. 1-2 ok RPs is about it. They'll need health and luck after that....the O and D should get better...but the SP and RP need help, IMO.
  3. Mike Sixel
    He was removed because the other team brought in a righty so they put in Arraez. Nothing more or less than that.

    I don't agree they relied on HOPE this year. Ryan and Ober were likely to be good. They traded for a legit starter. Archer had great stuff last year, but they did roll the dice on his health. That left the five spot with Bundy, Winder, Dobnak, Paddock (dice roll on health), Smeltzer. Outside a handful of teams, most don't have 5 legit starters. Sure, the top 3 weren't GREAT, but they are all number 2/3 types. Given there are about 15 number 1s (IMO), that's not bad. I really think people sell the reality of pitching short. They also could HOPE (yup) on Maeda being healthy this year, but I always thought he'd be a RP this year if healthy. Yes, I'd rather have another very good starter like Castillo, and for the right price I'd trade for him (or similar), but I think people are very unrealistic about the starting pitching in MN compared to other MLB teams (rather than the past). edit to add: MN is league median in starting pitching this year. That's not great, but given that they literally built this staff in one year (other than Ober), it's pretty impressive. The minors were completely barren of legit starters outside Berrios when this FO took over. The backsliding of prospects this year is a real bummer, as is Winder's and Ober's health. I'm hopeful that 1-2 guys will step up early next year, so I do agree they need one more legit starter.

    you're suggesting the pitchers forgot everything Wes taught them in one week? I doubt that is the issue at all.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff, thanks.

    The front office that traded for Ryan? The one that won the division two of the last three years, and is leading this year? That one?
  8. Mike Sixel
    True. I'd certainly do that. No need for him here, and several contenders have black holes at SS or second.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure any non contender wants Beckham. You'd have to find a contender that needs a second baseman and make a three way deal.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You might want to check his stats....
  11. Mike Sixel
    You're kind of double counting there.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's a discussion piece. Like, literally something a national site does also. Not sure why you read it if you weren't interested..... I agree with Cody and fangraphs, Buxton is at the top. I think Miranda will be on the list next year, or so least honorable mention.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Mine too.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I don't share the optimism that winder, alcala, or Maeda or paddock will be healthy next year.... But I guess it's possible. As for the OP, I don't get the Syndergard desire at all. I'm good with the rest.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for all the great coverage
  16. Mike Sixel
    Why do you think next year will be better? They won't have a lead in the division to start, and likely won't have a SS. They will have to replace at least two starting pitchers. I really am curious why anyone thinks next year is likely to be better.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Why do you want Syndergard?
  18. Mike Sixel
    How will next year be better? They likely have no SS.... And need to replace Bundy and Archer. They won't have a built in lead in the division. I'm genuinely curious why anyone thinks next year is likely to be better.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I feel like every year we see this post, and every year they lose one or two guys that usually don't amount to much. There is plenty of space available, given some of the players on the 40 man now. That said, sure, would be great to trade some middling prospects for a RP or two....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is in the honorable mentions of fangraphs trade value series...... But no rebuilding team wants those players.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Colorado has literally said they want to sign Bard to an extension...... Unreal.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Clearly I misunderstood. Apologies. I thought you said fire Falvey over the pitching pipeline.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good golly, they won, right?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Which pitchers in the minors are currently good in the majors?
