    Because: 1. Berrios said he wanted to test FA. 2. Now they can sign a player of Berrios quality, have him here for more than just 1 year, and have two great prospects. Every team should do stuff like this. Every. Single. Team.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Berrios made it clear he wants to test FA. We have no idea if they'll sign a relatively expensive pitcher or not next year. I'm out of the game of getting mad at the team for not doing something they can't possibly do yet....
  3. Mike Sixel
    No. there is a zero percent chance he's left off the 40 man in the next two years. Zero. Is there a number less than zero? If so, that's the odds Lewis is not on the 40 man in 22 or 23.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think you aren't looking at that post in context of the discussion....where I pointed out that there is roster and 40 man risk in keeping a player, not just money. At NO POINT did chief imply (the oppo, actually) he was keeping anyone off the roster....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'd REALLY like to see some of the AAA relievers in MN soon. I'm not sure what advantage there is to playing older guys under 1 year deals at this point.....they really need data for next year.
  6. Mike Sixel
    The risk is that they aren't sure if he's done, or not playing well....that they don't protect someone on the 40 man, and he gets hurt. There are plenty more things that are risks besides just money (more than I list here), which I acknowledged. But there is more than just money with any player.
  7. Mike Sixel
    And roster spots and 40 man spots.....those are limited. But mostly money, sure.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Both..... My guess is that he wasn't good this year, and the Twins didn't help matters. I don't think that means the Twins don't know what they are doing, just that they were wrong in this case. That's going to happen. The key is being right more often than wrong.
  9. Mike Sixel
    They can't call up many guys any more.... Sure would in the old rules though
  10. Mike Sixel
    For what it's worth, on fangraphs, the twins moved to 11th best system, which is a big jump.... It's all on the pitching development at this point. Hopefully also a trade for a pitcher, and a free agent.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm not scout....but from reading reports, middle reliever with a good chance to stick.
  12. Mike Sixel
    He's going to be much better than Arraez, imo.
  13. Mike Sixel
    that's kind of "every" good stuff minor league player's "floor".....If I had to guess, he's a starter for at least a couple years......but that's a guess.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Great start. Hope I'm wrong about him....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but that's why we were discussing a 1 year deal, which was your question......that's all they were getting for sure. Like I said, I'm not sure I'd have dealt him....but a 1 year deal was it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    He's 20 in AA....and has really good stuff....I have no ability to predict the future though (as you'd know from my day trades this year.....). But I also hope he's good. I'd say really good chance he's AT least a RP......at the MLB level. If not more.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Because he said he wanted to test FA?
  18. Mike Sixel
    good stuff, thanks! From what I read, he has one of the best bat to ball swings around. I mean, those are his stats from his FIRST YEAR as a pro......in AA.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ok, the team was bad.....so, I guess they should do something to make it better. I am not 100% sure I'd have traded Berrios, but I also don't know it was wrong. I mean, sure, if they weren't bad, you don't deal him...but they were.....It isn't a theoretical situation, it is a real one. They were bad....
  20. Mike Sixel
    theoretically this is money I can lose....last year I did 125%....this year I'm down 60%....mostly one stock.
  21. Mike Sixel
    You really think that last part? That we don't understand winning matters? I'm guessing nearly every GM in the league does what the Twins did......
  22. Mike Sixel
    My investments are mostly fine....the day trading is NOT......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. What a terrible year for me this year trading wise.....

    What pitcher could they sign right now? I mean, this guy is there now. They will give him a shot this year. He may or may not take a spot next year......but right now? There is no harm right now. Of course it doesn't work often, few great players are sitting around......but it only has to work once (see, Badoo, Akil, Detroit Tigers, for an example).
