    I read spoiled, which is very different than low character. He might get a wake up call here, like Carlson did when Minnesota cut him. Hard to say. I doubt he's ever good, but which backups are?
  2. Mike Sixel
    They don't really pay hitters either. Vazquez, Donaldson traded after two years. That's it for multi year deals?
  3. Mike Sixel
    It's why I really wanted them to sign one if the elite pitchers last year. Imagine having someone better than Gray last year, and the next four
  4. Mike Sixel
    That's hard to do, unless someone wants to look at a few hundred names and how they did from 2019 to 2022.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Three years. Three years is different than 1.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Not just MN.....nearly every big deal is going to a handful of teams (though this one isn't big, it's much longer than I thought he'd get). Congrats to him! and, fun to play with your brother.
  7. Mike Sixel
    There are a lot of 2B options in AA/AAA, and even the majors. Gordon, for example, can play 2nd this year if they deal both Polanco and Arraez (I predict they deal neither).
  8. Mike Sixel
    It does. Of the ones I listed in 2019....almost none have been good more than once since then and a lot are RPs or in the minors. I have wanted them to draft more pitchers in round one, or trade for more prospect pitchers.....so far, not feeling the love on what I want.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I also started that post acknowledging I don't know..... All we know is that they've signed one. So, either they only tried on three (donaldson, CC and Darvish) that they've acknowledged and been right once (and way off the other two times), or they've been wrong even more. What number did you think would do it, after the other two SS signed?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Or team chemistry.
  11. Mike Sixel
    We must no be looking at home runs or defense now? I mean, look at the home run difference. Did those others sign for one year? I literally can't recall right now
  12. Mike Sixel
    And yet, they've been wrong in every attempt other than Donaldson. So maybe they aren't good at projecting the market. I could be wrong, but not one website predicted he'd go for 285 once others signed. So it isn't just me.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure how to go from great prospect to bag of balls.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure why Seattle is trading off a pitcher....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't know what to make of the organization's thought process here. I saw zero chance he'd sign for less than others got (if healthy, clearly), and he didn't. Like, zero chance their bid was any more realistic than their bit for Darvish a few years ago (or any other long term deal other than Donaldson). So, I don't know what the deal is. Were they wrong about the price (If so, fire them now)? Were they misleading us (maybe, but I don't know)? All I know for sure is that they weren't getting him for what they offered, they should have known that. It is possible they misled themselves. As for the owner's comments? I don't think they matter at all. All that matters is actions.
  16. Mike Sixel
    While I'm not high on Wilson, I would 100% sign him to this roster if possible.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I want to keep Gray for mentor purposes, at least to the trade deadline. Other than that? I'd deal Kepler, Arraez and Polanco for the best prospects I could get (not numbers, but best individual talent). I don't think you are getting much for Mahle or Maeda right now.....But Lopez and he who shall not be named? I'd deal them.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm not trading any prospects for guys with less than 3 years of control left. All are good trades for a team that needs one or two players to get over the top....but not this team. Not after all the trades the last couple years.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The option and roster spot are vastly under valued on this board. They aren't a backup RH OF away....... Also, I know I said this last year, but I think Martin is your LF/ backup CF at some point this year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    One thing is for sure.....not much happening in TWins' land that we got ANOTHER article on Gallo.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    It isn't GREAT.....but if you could add three players that good every year, you'd have a good team.......If you were willing to sign the occasional FA that was actually good.... (like the C this year).
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think they keep Kepler and Gallo. Look at last year's disaster. Me? I'd trade Kepler right now for a great prospect. Even a very good one. Yes, that would hurt 2023 depth. I'm willing to take that risk.
  23. Mike Sixel
    100% I'd deal him for a minor leaguer in AA or AAA who they think can be a #2 or better. 100 times out of 100. Likely hurts in 2022....but I'm willing to take that chance.
  24. Mike Sixel
    truth. I wish we could acknowledge that second part. But nuance (even this broad) seems hard on this site. I'm not convinced they can develop elite pitching. Part of that is passing on it in round one, IMO. Trading Petty might look bad in a few years, but you have to give up talent to get it. I don't begrudge that deal at all. Not taking Greene and taking Lewis? We'll see about that one. I'm also not yet convinced they can't. It really hasn't been as long as people think. If Prielipp is great, that will go a long way.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Almost none. That's my point. There aren't many top tier pitchers coming up drafted in 17-20. Expecting the Twins to do what almost no one else is doing is setting oneself up for disappointment. I'm not saying the Twins have been good or great. I'm trying to see how they do compared to the rest of the league.
