    KC is a bunch of whiners. Too bad, otherwise they'd be fun to watch.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think it's about being the move so far as much as anything. Also, we don't know they are trading Kepler.....if they do, it certainly makes more sense than if they don't. I'm not sure they will though. I believe this front office, and I don't disagree, thinks they lost last year to injury. Gallo is healthy. Keeping Kepler gives them more depth. So I'm not sure yet they are trading him. We'll see in the coming weeks.

    Fair
  4. Mike Sixel
    I hope they don't give a crap about the opinions here.
  5. Mike Sixel
    To be clear..... We are not giving them credit for producing hitters and pitchers, only ripping the pipeline of pitchers, and also not giving them credit for trading for Ryan? They have four guys they acquired that are likely legit MLB starters. They have a great RP and at least one more good one. They also have Arraez and Miranda . And Lewis and Lee. We can still hope on larnach being healthy. And Jeffers. And fixing Gordon who everyone gave up on. I don't love all their moves. But the idea that they've produced no starters is just not true.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Why wouldn't you expect Gordon to be productive? Why wouldn't you expect Wallner to be healthy? I get the skepticism on the other two. Which is why I get the signing to some degree.
  7. Mike Sixel
    It's about the years. Not even close.
  8. Mike Sixel
    We can want Buxton in center every game, but we know that isn't happening. We also know Arraez will get time at DH. Probably Larnach and AK. Sometimes Miranda. It's not like we're talking about a great hitter either. He's nice. A decent hitter at this point.
  9. Mike Sixel
    The argument seems to be they can't get any pitchers. They got two thru trades. It sucks why they were in a position to make those trades, but they seem likely to be two very good trades. These comments are about ripping the front office for not having enough pitching. They have at least two, if not four, number three types. The previous FO couldn't touch that. Also, let's be real, they had nothing to work with in the minors when they took over. At least as far as starting pitchers.
  10. Mike Sixel
    People really want this team to take up a roster spot with a full time DH? Where do you expect Arraez and Buxton to play all the time? They are both getting time at DH, especially if AK is finally healthy. I don't understand the angst over this.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Almost none of those guys were drafted by this FO. None were considered top prospects outside twins land. How is that on this FO? I guess I don't understand how trading for a guy isn't part of the pipeline? Somehow that's not good?
  12. Mike Sixel
    If they trade a guy, or guys, with four or more years of control for a guy with two, I don't see how this is sustainable.. This signing only makes good sense if Kepler is dealt, at least for me. I guess it's possible they think both larnach and AK are too hurt to start the year, otherwise they are blocking at least one of them if Kepler is still here.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ryan, Ober, Varland not enough for you in a two year period? Add SWR at some point this year. How many are you expecting?
  14. Mike Sixel
    You might have to search pretty hard to find that pitcher being available. Like, really, really, really hard.
  15. Mike Sixel
    A lot less money and years. A lot less years.
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's a pretty great outcome so far. If even one of AK or Larnach can stay healthy......I think there are at least three good RPs that haven't emerged yet either.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Martinez is a DH only. I'm not sure I get the angst over this.
  18. Mike Sixel
    How about the next tier down.... Not the Happ level, the level l above that .... Also, if WS is your only success measure, we have a different measure.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Sure. He might be. He also might be the guy that hasn't played center for some reason..... Which is very different than a guy moving to first base. I agree, his defense is one reason he's in Minnesota. I don't understand how pointing out he hasn't played center is so bad..
  20. Mike Sixel
    You're comparing a second year player transitioning to the least difficult position, to a long time veteran playing center?
  21. Mike Sixel
    You keep arguing against the opposite of what I say. Over and over. You keep posting they should sign great players, then when I say that, you argue. I really don't get it.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No. I want them to sign one elite player, not three bad ones. I want them to supplement the team with a great player, not put bad filler on the roster. Or, take a chance on a Bassitt type, because I'd rather take a chance on Bassitt and a rookie, over Haap and Shoemaker type.
  23. Mike Sixel
    He hasn't played center in over two years.
  24. Mike Sixel
    They aren't setting martin up for success by playing him out of position. He's a top prospect..... Get a random guy at short.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea. They were crushed by injuries last year. But their free agent work and trades have been more bad than good. The longer they are in control, the worse ..... But, and I repeat, they were crushed by injuries last year. I really don't know. I think they've blown the last two free agent periods. They were flush with budget, and had back to back historical classes, and have one year of CC to show for it.
