    But they didn't. So, given that, should they have done nothing? I mean, that's a completely different discussion....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Imagine if they had done nothing! Paddock is different than Mahle, as they paid very little for him because of the risk. People seem to forget that

    I'd put Maeda in two inning relief. Ober clearly deserves a shot, imo. I'd be interested in what Miami is trading this off season.... Gray, Mahle, Ryan, Ober are locks, if healthy. Winder, Varland, SWR and Balazovich in AAA is a great group of backups.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Where did I say I was fine with every decision? I'm disappointed they don't have a better pitcher from the system. But I also don't think some people here are realistic at all.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Varland just went from AA to the majors. Ryan? He's going to pitch the most he ever has, and put up good numbers. Winder? Injured. Ober? injured. Duran? Highest WPA on the MLB team by far and possibly their best rookie. SWR? He's in AAA at 23 (or 22, not sure how old he is) and didn't pitch well at all last year. I have no idea how one of those is an example of being held back.
  6. Mike Sixel
    The main hope from that game is the OL played well, and it was only game two with a new staff and system. But, wow.
  7. Mike Sixel
    The farm isn't close to gutted.
  8. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, you expect the Twins to be as good as the team that is best at developing pitchers? I expect you'll be disappointed. Which pitcher is being held back?
  9. Mike Sixel
    How many pitchers do you expect to emerge every year? Certainly no one from this draft class, or the last. Any pitchers emerging the first two years had to come from the previous regime, right? I'm not sure what people expect realistically.

    Miami is rumored to be trading a starter this off season. Depending on who it is, I'd be interested. There aren't many free agent choices that are likely to be better than what they have. I prefer Maeda as a two inning RP. Maybe Mahle that way also, but that's health dependent for me.
  11. Mike Sixel
    The last two episodes of House of the Dragon were so much better than the first three, I can't believe it's the same show.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I liked it. Going to be really annoying as they drag out the big secret. Not that I'm likely to keep watching it. But it's possible.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd be surprised. I'd like to see Sisk up.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Lee and SWR are the cream of those guys, but if Varland is a starter or reliver, is a great story That said, Wallner seems to adjust at every level, and has a pedigree. His ascent is very timely given the health of their projected OF.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Strotman was always the extra piece. A lottery ticket.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Glad I didn't watch the second half. I'd like to revise my win prediction down to nine. Hicks looked awful in the parts I watched. Awful. Whatever the game plans were in the parts I watched, they were awful.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They've proven they can't win by winning the division twice.... I think the FO has two big issues. Terrible first round picks too often. Terrible bullpen management. An awful lot rides on the budget next year. They can afford a top SS. And pitching, though I think their best route there is dealing with Miami.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd move Mahle and Maeda to relief, like two inning guys every four days or so. I'd likely bring back Sanchez, given the options. If Miami is really trading one of their good starters, I'm in. I'd certainly consider one of the elite SS, but I don't see it. I'd listen on Kepler and Polanco, but be in no hurry to move them.
  20. Mike Sixel
    This. They need to put Martin at second or left or center and let him get comfortable, imo.
  21. Mike Sixel
    That's a heck of a straw man. I was refuting the "fact" he was so bad he couldn't play on the majors. No place did I say he was Buxton.
  22. Mike Sixel
    As for the topic, the FO really dropped the ball on sitting injured players at the end of the year. Likely that's because the were already on their 6th or worse OF option and thought, incorrectly, that veterans were needed.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs had him honorable mention in trade value. I really don't think people on this site are in step with how MLB values players at all, frankly. I also don't think they actually look at how other players play, to make comparisons.
  24. Mike Sixel
    He was one of the highest rated defenders this year before getting hurt. By every site. Nothing in your post is factual.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He should be up over Cave and Garlick. Plus, is Kepler healthy? Definitely disagree with the FO here.
