    I'm not sure I understand the Gray trade if they weren't trying this year. Or signing CC for that matter, since it is just money down the drain if they don't win (they aren't trading him). Who do you feel confident is healthy and good next year as a SP? Ryan and Gray and pray?
  2. Mike Sixel
    When do we get to judge the FO? The year moves every year....every year. Other than Ryan, they have zero SPs we can count on next year from the vaunted pipeline. Zero. Nada. Nil.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Failing Buxton and Miranda and Polanco telling the owners they have to go, agreed (CC if he stayed, but he's not staying unless hurt). They did win the division two years in a row, and are competitive this year. but for me, the lack of any realistic pipeline right now is not good, Bob.
  4. Mike Sixel
    If anyone takes that contract, the Rockies should be very grateful (but ya, wtaf on extending Bard?).
  5. Mike Sixel
    I did forget him, but I'm not sure anyone really thought he'd pitch this year (maybe, maybe not?).
  6. Mike Sixel
    Fair, and I'm mostly in agreement with you. I said all along this was the year I'd start judging their pitching pipeline (as did other defenders, some of whom haven't been on the site in some time). Right now my judgement is harsh. Very.
  7. Mike Sixel
    In looking at this list, I can see how MN thought they had a chance at a rotation this year, especially if you think Jordy Blaze (no idea how to spell his name) or SWR would be ready in the second half this year. It didn't work, alas.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for reminding me. I mean, Riley went 41st, did MN pass twice, or once?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Let's see....Gray, Ryan, Archer, Bundy....Ober, Paddack, Winder...Smeltzer. I feel like I'm missing someone.....so at least "I".
  10. Mike Sixel
    The A's always want MLB ready types (or those who will be ready next year). MN had NONE of those available in pitching, due to injuries and ineffectiveness. No way they can match that deal, given Oak wanted pitching.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Astros and Yankees trying to make sure no one catches them in the playoffs. Good for them and their fans.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Austin Riley signs for 10 years, 212 million dollars.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Right, if not MN, the Yankees or Astros were the best destinations for him for the Twins.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Good point, I htought your post was about firing the FO.....which I consider a different topic completely. They won the division two years in a row, stunk last year, and are somehow still winning it this year. They aren't getting fired. No chance at all. That said, their inability to develop healthy effective pitching will, imo, be their downfall in a another two years or so.

    Sears would be the third best Twins' starter, right (if his stats hold, which they probably wont, or NYY wouldn't have dealt him)? I'm not sure why NYY traded him, frankly. And Fangraphs likes him the least of the four....
  17. Mike Sixel
    If you'd told me they'd be in first place, with an outfield of Gordon, Contreras, and Garlick, I'd have laughed at you. But here we are.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It has definitely gone backward this year with the pitchers. If they can't fix this, they should be gone. They'll never sign top pitchers.... So they need to develop them. So far? It hasn't worked.
  19. Mike Sixel
    One or two minor RPs will be acquired.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure they do, but I'm losing faith they really do this year either. Ryan not being good since his return is a real downer. Winder is out. I just have a hard time seeing real success. I hope to be wrong. Like I said, my thoughts are evolving....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Right. Prior is still in baseball. What's mauer even doing?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not really on topic.... Maybe start a new thread?
  23. Mike Sixel
    We almost made two pages on topic. Not bad.
  24. Mike Sixel
    No idea who this guy is, but I just saw a "nationals and marlins close to deal on Soto" Tweet......that would be huge, and indicate the Twins aren't getting a pitcher from Miami, I'd think.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Aaron Sanchez is tonight's starter.
