    Star pitchers will still pitch a lot....but MOST teams don't have even 1 star pitcher, let alone 4 or 5......
  3. Mike Sixel
    I've been begging the Twins to piggy back pitchers for years....unless you have 4 very good starters, you really need to piggy back to succeed. So, I'm hoping Archer and another are piggy backed.....and since I have zero faith in Bundy, him also. That also gives the younger pitchers MLB experience.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I like the gamble. Real upside, with a good floor.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing here, but I think Archer goes short starts, with another "starter" piggy backing him. That likely means he's got a decent leash, as I hope he can get through an order once....... I'd bet Bundy is gone before Archer, but that's a different topic.
  6. Mike Sixel
    He will be, but he's never shown it. That's usually how promotions work. I don't doubt Lewis has great potential....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Martin can hit, and Lewis has not shown that at all, that's how he passes him this year (not long term). I'm not saying it will happen, but I can see it for sure.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Martin should be in MN as the starting LF, or in AAA. I remain baffled he's in AA and Lewis is in AAA. Utterly. I agree with your first sentence, completely.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Debut? Sure. Maybe. But they won't be permanent replacements. Is this really a concern? I feel like people are looking for something to worry about.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Snell and Kepler are a wash, IMO. The Twins don't have three good starting OFers, and people want to trade Kepler? I'm baffled.
  11. Mike Sixel
    This is the year their beliefs in not signing top FA pitchers and their ability to develop them has to pay off. Or I'd fire them. They've had long enough to draft and develop pitching..... And we're still waiting.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm not exactly confident.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Two catchers is the right idea. I don't believe in Rooker, but I don't in Garlick either, so, not sure? Plus, when the one who stays is bad, there are replacements in the minors.... So not sure it matters.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but they have prospects not that closes to the majors. I guess I've made my side clear,I don't see them freaking players that will help them this year, others do. Doesn't matter, the twins aren't trading their RF for pitching prospects.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Why would they trade him? They are trying to compete.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Like whom, that is major league ready? Can't be anyone they trust, as they are trading for pitching... Why would they give up anyone close, and if they aren't close, why are the twins trading for them?
  17. Mike Sixel
    What's the risk in losing Rooker? He's not a young DH who hasn't hit yet.
  18. Mike Sixel
    What quality pitcher is San Diego trading? They are trading for pitching right now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Why? Why would you trade him? He's paid little for what he does. And, they don't have another RF ready. What would SD have to give back?
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they will, btw. I think they should, if they won't use him at C.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If they don't think Sanchez can catch, I'd just release him or trade him for nothing (other than saving some of the money). Sano should be the DH, as he's atrocious at first (somehow). I'd put almost anyone at first rather than him. They could not be worse. Arraez should be the LF or 1B, though maybe they don't want him running around in the OF.
  22. Mike Sixel
    They don't need three catchers. I bet they do that, but why? Unless they've given up on Sanchez at catcher completely.... In which case, just release him.
  23. Mike Sixel
    They are better at pitching. Gray is about Berrios. Ryan is Pineda, and no one will be as bad as Shoemaker was last year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Last year they could have put it in Wade or Addoo, who were unproven, which would have been fine......Cave didn't work. That doesn't make it a bad plan to not spend real money on a backup....
  25. Mike Sixel
    What team doesn't have a chasm between an MVP candidate and his backup? Really, what is your realistic expectation here? What backup CF is out there? And, at some point, every rookie or first or second year player is unproven.
