    This.

    I don't understand how Moran isn't a Twin already.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Well.... Gordon isn't getting singles either. And he is an ok fielder. He also swings at everything outside the zone. He has zero in common with the players you mentioned. Also, just because we used to not have data before does but mean it isn't useful.

    I'm not sure why they'd move Polanco back to SS. He's not good there. He's a legit good 2B. I'm not sure why I mess with that. They do not have a SS in the system. It is priority 2 in FA this year for sure (or trade). That's why you keep playing Simmons. Because Polanco is a 2B. The real question is what is Arraez if Polanco is your 2B?

    I'd 100% prefer Thorpe move the bullpen, where he has a much better chance of being a MLB pitcher. Ober, Jax, Dobnak are all as good or better than Thorpe as starters. Give Thorpe a legit shot to be part of the bullpen.

    Ya. It was great going up from the bottom....oh well. Just need one drug....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'd expect a start or two in St. Paul. Then hopefully with the big league club.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I hope Ryan is with the Twins, not saints.

    If they want those guys in Minnesota next year, they should be in Minnesota now. How many terrible outings, in addition to his time in Detroit, do they need to see? Great play by Sano!
  10. Mike Sixel
    Guess we can kiss the idea of Winder being in the rotation day one goodbye. At this point B also looks out. Not looking good for the start of next year already, alas.
  11. Mike Sixel
    They have plenty of good on their mid twenties in AAA. .. Options are irrelevant for them..... So evaluate them. Burrows? Move on.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Cytodyn. I rode it up... Bought more.... And somehow it keeps going down ...
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious, but how does this post add value to the conversation?
  14. Mike Sixel
    No idea, but my preference is a guy they are confident can stick at SS, or the best college starting pitcher (assuming he hasn't been over used by his college manager.....). After that? HS SS or CF, someone that can play D and hit. I don't want anymore bat first corner OF that probably can't field at the MLB level.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    By sheer numbers alone, you'd expect lots of guys not in a list of 50 to be as good as those in the list. There are thousands of minor league players.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Well, Ryan is at the Olympics.... But I bet we are him when that are over....
  17. Mike Sixel
    While I agree this makes sense, and they have nothing to lose.... The fact Burrows is still on the roster, and not someone from their system, makes me nervous that they just can't move on like they should sometimes.... And this guy might take a forty man place next year, even is he shouldn't.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Fair....but I"m not sure those guys are what you think they are in terms of who they can get for 2 years. I also worry about how hard it is to replace guys every year or two, which we are seeing this year. They didn't replace the kind of years Hill / Odo had when they were here and good...... But, I get your point, we just don't agree. No biggie to me.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm not ready to punt 2023. And, you can sign a guy a year earlier than you are serious contenders. It is nearly impossible to fill all the holes in one off season. Signing guys to 2 year deals, imo, is almost a self-fulfilling prophecy of problems. The best players won't do that, so you are left with the leftovers..... I think putting 4 rookies and Maeda out there is a huge mistake, in terms of managing the young guys' careers for mentor/observation/help/whatever words you want to use. I'm only 90% willing to punt next year, frankly. The O is good enough to make the playoffs. The D and pitching are not. Get a real SS, one real SP, and one real RP......and get lucky with the minors....I mean, I'd deal from their depth of hitters that can't field for a guy under team control, but I don't see them doing that.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I can't see a reason for Burrows to be on the MLB roster, not with several guys in AAA to get a look at.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you think the team will be garbage in three years, it doesn't matter if they sign guys or not. I'm not really understanding your argument, frankly.....We all agree, they need at least 2 of their minor league pitchers to be good to great. No one is arguing that. the question is....should they sign 1-2 FA starters? I vote yes, on at least one. The young guys need mentors. They need someone to even just watch how they do their job, how they prepare, everything. Also, if 2 work out, and you've already signed a guy, bonus! If none work out, it doesn't matte if you sign a guy or not. There is little downside to signing one good FA pitcher. They have the money, they need 8 pitchers and have 1 or 2 right now....I don't see the downside at all. If the young guys are good by 2023, you have a guy locked in. If the young guys are bad, you can trade him (or not, if he's not working out). If somehow too many young guys are good, you deal someone for some f'n defense (which this team utterly lacks).
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ya, no. Trading the only three good defensive players on the entire roster is a terrible idea. I assume your plan is to 100% punt next year, and probably 2023 also, then. Because they will have no defense at all. None.
  23. Mike Sixel
    They traded for two prospects, that you'll know in a year or two. And, they'll be around A LOT longer than Berrios would be. Every one of these guys was a prospect at one point. Fans show up for winners. IF they win, and no one has heard of the players, people won't care. (note, I'm not saying they will win, but that is what fans care about. The data on that is quite clear, attendance goes way up for winning teams).
  24. Mike Sixel
    I almost bought Atlassian two weeks ago.....sigh.
  25. Mike Sixel
    They probably aren't....but I'm a fan of adding players the year before you are competitive, to increase the likelihood you are. Adding 1-2 legit starting pitchers, which they can afford, makes them better for 2023 also. I'd like a SS and a SP more than 2 SP.....
