    I just think these guys, and this is clearly my opinion based on anecdotal observation, have a better shot at money and careers if moved to relief sooner rather than later. See Jax, as an example.

    I'd like to see those two in high A this year..... And wonder about funderburk maybe moving to RP and getting more out of his pitches....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Of course, neither of those is a thing at all..... And what makes you think it is physical, and not something else? My issues are twofold.... Not every damn thread needs to be complaining about something that won't change. Every thread. Over and over and over. Second, this is how baseball is played, and it isn't a Rocco issue at all, but a twins/MLB decision. Complain, occasionally, about the game changing, but stop saying this is on Rocco.

    Y'all realize it's the front office and the manager that manage the starters this way.... Or that almost no pitchers average 6 innings per start? Anyone here actually look at the rest of baseball?
  5. Mike Sixel
    And yet, this thread isn't about that. Not even a little.
  6. Mike Sixel
    There isn't one person in baseball that agrees with your assessment of the prices paid. Wow.
  7. Mike Sixel
    It would be cool if one thread on this site could not be about the manager and how he manages the pitchers. Just one thread.

    I'm changing my grade to A. The Padres have traded 66 prospects in the last few years, and are projected to be the best NL team the rest of the year. That might not happen, of course, but they've put themselves in that position. The twins didn't go that far, they still have nearly all their top prospects. But, they shored up their biggest weaknesses for this year and next, while giving up good, but not elite, prospects. It's hard to understand anyone not liking the base of players on this roster for this year and next. My impression of the FO definitely improved this week.

    Concur.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree with that last part....he should not be on the roster if he can't play. Well, pretty much your whole post.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Nice win, and nice to feel good about the bullpen.
  12. Mike Sixel
    And here I thought your first post was a joke. Interesting!
  13. Mike Sixel
    I just can't blame the FO for this.....Larnach, Kiriloff, Lewis, Kepler all hurt at the same time. Plus Garlick may now be hurt. It's hard to see how any team could lose their 2-5th best OFers at the same time and have a good OF during that time. Luckily, Gordon is actually have a decent year. And Celestino just isn't quite ready (is he hurt, I've lost count).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Meh. They needed pitching this year, I don't get the angst. Sure, he could be good in two or more years..
  15. Mike Sixel
    Big fan of this for Minnesota. Hate it for Baltimore, who could be good this year or next, and gets nothing in the short term. This not being only a rental makes it very good.
  16. Mike Sixel
    How so? He's hurt. How is that on the organization? Seriously. Sometimes this site....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Lots of ads stretching out the width lately. Been really bad.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I wish him luck. But I'm getting nervous about his health. The Kubel comparison is very apt.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm just hoping one of them is healthy next year for the year, and three other two contribute at this point. More than that would be great, of course.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Concur. I think this is a good deal. This team now has three legit starters for this year and next. Finding another in the group they have will be huge.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Nice deal for both teams. Definitely worth the risk for the twins, especially with two more years of control. This is why I always say move mediocre starters to the bullpen sooner rather than later .....
  22. Mike Sixel
    The As wanted MLB ready pitching. It sends no message about the system other than they didn't have that specific thing. They got a guy that's made three starts this year, and at least one of the others will be in the majors next year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Silver Lining!
  24. Mike Sixel
    Right. The middle is the hardest spot.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Opportunity cost. If he's on the roster, someone else isn't. He won't be here next year, let someone else get experience. That's my reason to DFA him.
