    You get great players by trading great prospects, that's how it generally works......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Astros sent number 5 and 15 for Cole.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Astros sent their number 3, 9, and 11 prospects for Verlander.......
  4. Mike Sixel
    You can set any price you want, but it's negotiated......so, not sure I get your post? This post also touches on the relative value of the available (?) players, which is kind of important in this work....

    Outside Twin's Daily, I don't recall most websites loving Gonsalves........but it should remind everyone why "untouchable" or "can't fail" or "worst case he's helpful" just isn't true....
  6. Mike Sixel
    They can make the team better w/o giving up their top 7-10 prospects? Also, this is a bird in hand situation....everything is going well, and the players are healthy. That doesn't happen every year, how many years were Mauer and Morneau healthy and great together? If you aren't willing to strike this year, you never will be.

    If I was a betting man, I think they'll trade for Mike Minor, and not one of the big names being thrown around.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, though Lewis and Kiriloff need to return something great, with control, to be dealt. And, Gaterol better not be their best pitching prospect, or this pipeline has issues. As stated above, if you wait and wait to draft pitching, you better be willing to trade for it.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Wow, great stuff. Thanks
  10. Mike Sixel
    As I said above, great writing and acting.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I have doubted Diaz, but I continue to hope he proves me wrong
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's a stupid old saying, as people that understand math would never use average that way, but I get your point. We probably won't agree here.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    did you read the math article? Bunting there decreases your odds of scoring by 5%, give or take. Seems odd, but it does.
  14. Mike Sixel
    There are times to bunt late in games, maybe. But here is some math (note, this is not a game thread, so you were not promised no math, sir or madam). https://www.danblewett.com/run-expectancy-bunting-bad/

    If the Twins knew Rogers was going to be this good, they would have taken him earlier. His success has nothing to do with Jay's failure. Jay, Gordon, Stewart, were Ryan's last three number 1 picks, before that? Buxton, Levi Michael, Alex Wimmers, Gibson, Hunt, Guteriezz, Hicks..... So, three legit ML players out of ten. Jay, Gordon and Stewart were all top 10 picks (meaning the ML team was bad.....). (One of the three good ones he traded for Murphy.....) and maybe Gordon turns out. Miss on one? Sure. Miss on two? Maybe ok. Miss on all three in a row? That's not good enough, if your strategy is to NOT sign big time FAs, not trade top prospects for players, and to build in the draft and IFA......

    Late next year for Gaterol? I hope not. Because with their lack of depth, that means a lot of starts by lesser pitchers. If Balazovic is dominant for two months, promote him again. He could be up next year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Which is why I said good luck, because it gets explained over and over, and casinos still make money.
  18. Mike Sixel
    People don't get that things don't even out the way they think. That's how casinos make money....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd love to add him, but he's going to cost three prospects, at least one very big name. I think you are underestimating his value.
  20. Mike Sixel
    What? When Garver doesn't play, Kepler leads off. I don't understand this post. It's about the first time this has happened.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Keep trying. Good luck.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Two important players hurt, and we talk about batting order and hitting with runners in position as meaningful things? What matters is the health of Cruz and Perez.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Sorry, wasn't clear there, my bad. If you demote him from high leverage situations, who moves into them?
  24. Mike Sixel
    No one is until after the draft, imo
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's true, but the explanation for his performance was that he was on the shuttle.... Which is the part I disagree with. I just think he's not quite a MLB yet. But that that has nothing to do with being on the shuttle.
