    I don't think he's at best a number five starter....ymmv, of course. Unless you thinka number four is supplemental. How many pitchers, realistically, should a team develop to the majors in six years, two of which were the pandemic? I mean, no one drafted in the last two years should be expected to be in the majors....
  2. Mike Sixel
    No I wasn't interested before the year started, now it's not even a consideration at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Winner....I wonder if there is a schism at this point?
  4. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, Cleveland trades for guys, as does Tampa. I'm sorry, but they deserve a ton of credit for Ryan. No one in baseball thought he was this good . Also, are we just assuming Varland is bad now?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Preach
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'd be shocked if he didn't have surgery in September. But at least they are finally putting him where he should have been all along.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'd fire them now, given they refuse to change this roster. I expect them to fire the hitting coach as a scapegoat at some point .. but for them to keep their jobs. I expect them to get cute in the draft, and pass on the best players again. I'm done with them. Done.
  8. Mike Sixel
    By whom? Even I'm calling for their heatd now, and I've spent the last few years defending them.
  9. Mike Sixel
    You want me to list every player ever? That post was in response to a post listing who they developed, that didn't include Arraez. Context. It's about context.
  10. Mike Sixel
    As predicted, the FO should be fired.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm desperate, though I'd consider even MORE drastic things, like Kiersey or Celestino (not really) in CF over MAT..... I'd IL Buxton until he can play the field. Put Julien at 2B, and Carmago at DH / C.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Then we agree on Wallner for sure!
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure that's great Arraez hitting, or OMG MY EYES hitting by the Twins. Sigh. They suck so badly. So. Very,. Badly.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Contreras? He's a AAAA player. Why would you want him over Larnach or Wallner? Also, Stevenson? If you are going there, just call up Kiersey (neither of which I'd do).
  15. Mike Sixel
    No one said that....no one.
  16. Mike Sixel
    The season won't be over if they get swept.... That said, no moves coming? Well, that's peachy. Just. Peachy.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea how you can blame this FO for what Buxton (hurt) Kepler (bad) Polanco (hurt), Sano (come on, no one has claimed him even) turned into. And, they turned Arraez into Lopez and two minor league players. It was a fair trade, even if it hasn't worked yet. So that leaves Rosario, who was DFAd by CLE at one point.... Also, we should maybe give them some credit for developing Arraez....And, you are right on Jeffers.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Julien isn't good? He's not Arraez..... And, yes, this is the question. They traded Arraez for a pitcher.......Arraez and ? or Lopez and Julien...that was the calculation. It hasn't worked, but it largely hasn't because every OF sucks and CC sucks and Buxton isn't good.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Still no move on the roster.....if they don't make a change before today's game (and we have no info that anyone is moving around)....well, the terms of service prevent me from saying what I want to say about the FO at this point.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ya, that was ridiculous.
  21. Mike Sixel
    100% on this. 100%. I think Lewis and Lee break this pattern, but I'm not convinced on any of the other guys. And they destroyed Martin. AK might, might, break the pattern also. It is one reason I'd fire the FO right now.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not very.....my point stands. You don't build a team with one player. The Twins made a calculation that one of Julien or Gordon (and a healthy Polanco) plus Lopez and two minor league players was better than Arraez and random guy.....It hasn't worked for a ton of reasons, but I think it is much more about CC and the OF and Buxton than Arraez.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Teel could be a good enough hitter to play first or OF.....if he's close to what some think, he's a top 5-10 catcher. That is 100% worth the fifth pick.
  24. Mike Sixel
    It's fair that some small market teams don't care....but this team has its highest payroll ever, and isn't doing what Pitts and Oak and others are doing....but I could be wrong. Maybe they don't want to win (but then I don't see any way they sign CC or Buxton to those deals).
  25. Mike Sixel
    What makes you think he hasn't been addressing the team privately, it wasn't working, so he went public? Most leaders try very hard not to criticize publicly.... As for Wallner (not at you)....there is zero good reason for him to be in AAA (same with Larnach) given the what Kepler and Gallo and MAT are doing.....As I've said, I'd fire the FO at this point, given their refusal to admit their mistake and move on.
