    One of those years was cancelled, right? Also, you missed guys they traded for or signed.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Ha, I misunderstood your post 100% completely! My bad.
  3. Mike Sixel
    It was a lost year by May. His job was to get young players experience in lots of situations. Also, name calling?
  4. Mike Sixel
    He can only play the schedule he's handed. They won 93 games and the division. I don't know how that can be considered anything other than really good.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's amazing how much inside knowledge so many in this thread have! We literally have NO IDEA how he is outside the public eye. None. I agree with someone above, A LOT of the complaints here are more about the players he was given, than what he did with them. If you think manager more than a few games, why aren't they paid more? Players get 6-8 million per WAR.....if a manager is worth 10 wins, what should they be paid? The manager's job is hardly at all about in game moments, I'd guess. Much more about managing a group of employees with massive egos (no one is a pro athlete w/o ego).
  6. Mike Sixel
    That's about the only other team they match up with, imo. I'd want to deal Abrams for pitching at that point....or Lewis. Certainly Arraez is gone.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Certainly seems possible. They are flush in SS prospects, including one that got to AAA this year. IF they deal Buxton, I'd move Lewis to CF, Martin to LF, and Peraza (from NYY) to SS at AAA to start the year. I'd also want one of their top pitching prospects and 2 fliers. I don't want them to deal Buxton, no, I don't. But if they do, NYY are one of the more likely teams involved.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure why you didn't use the board, and not minor league leader board, when looking at the hitters? I mean, Lewis and Martin are number 1 and 3 on the list of team prospects......and there are three others in the top 12. That's five of the top 12 prospects as hitters, and Miranda isn't even in that part of the list (yet). Agreed on the pitching depth, this isn't the old Twins at all.
  9. Mike Sixel
    HHH had such promise.....and was just ok at the end, imo. Smart people not being smart is tedious to me. And, while I don't really like horror, it needed more horror.
  10. Mike Sixel
    ? That isn't how most fans here feel about Berrios being traded. As for the clickbait title? No. There is no comparison.
  11. Mike Sixel
    One year deal. If they are good, great! If they are bad, he's traded at the deadline for a decent prospect. One of the easier decisions of the off season.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I really like Foundation, but damn, NOTHING HAPPENED in episode three at all. Those that were bored may not ever come back after that one.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If he says he won't sign here, I trade him. No looking back at all.
  14. Mike Sixel
    No incentives? Sign him. And hope he's healthy. If you'd trade him, for what? Not generically, but specifically. Would you then punt next year, and trade more? Those are reasonable decisions....just curiuos.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Martin is your starting LF or CF (if Buxton is dealt) by May something. That means Miranda is likely not playing the LF at all. The Twins are flush with OF....I'd be really surprised if they all get hurt/stink, and Miranda plays out there. I doubt they deal Donaldson at this point, but if they do, Miranda is likely at 3B to open the year, imo. Most likely he's in AAA to start the year, and if someone gets hurt at 3B/2B/1B/DH, he might come up. I think he's traded, not that I would necessarily do that, btw.....but they NEED a veteran starting pitcher or two.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    What? Jeffers is nearly top ten in home runs among catchers....I don't know what people expect out of first year players, but I don't see how anyone doesn't think he has a ton of value. He's going to put up over 1 war this year....
  17. Mike Sixel
    A great list of players......probably as deep in potential starters as this system has been in some time. Health....next year we ant health.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Why are they trading him?
  19. Mike Sixel
    With certainty. Like most successful teams these days..... They just don't have the talent this year, with the injuries and trades, and lack of depth.
  20. Mike Sixel
    We just finished season 1 of Shadow and Bone. I liked it. Not love.....like. The ensemble of characters is quite good and mostly believable, even if the heroine is annoying at times (and, frankly, isn't the most interesting character). Of course, it is season 1, and isn't a finished story at all. And, it is fantasy, so there are predictable moments if you've read much.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Or his lack of defense and position other than DH, which is what most people here are saying.....Where does he play next year? With Sano, Garver, Donaldson, Arraeaz, and Kiriloff and maybe Larnach (who is younger and can almost play OF) and maybe Martin or Lewis in the OF? Or Celestino? The issue is simple....they have a ton of bat first (only?) guys. There isn't room for all of them on the roster, esp. if you want Martin and/or Miranda up next year taking up LF and 3B.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure you can stream a cast recreation online. I started once, the production quality was not good. Back from decades ago and the BBC
  23. Mike Sixel
    We just watched the first two late last night. It is very pretty. It is well written and acted. I really like it, but I'm guessing it is too much a thinker for the masses. And, neither my wife nor I seem to recall the books much, so we can't comment on the differences, other than obviously women play an actual role.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Wade can play some defense. Rooker cannot. If he had any chance on defense, he'd start in left next year. But I think that is Gordon, Martin, Larnach, Celestino territory next year. I don't know where he plays much next year, assuming kiriloff is healthy at all ... Which seems like a big assumption.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Glad I stopped caring..... Sorry to those that do
