    I don't agree. Maybe they get guys in AA that will be up later next year. But I do think going from 90 losses this year to serious contender next year is unlikely......
  2. Mike Sixel
    How so? those guys are here beyond next year. I think they've given up on this year (good move), and probably next year (likely realistic, but meaning they don't use the money on Machado.....and likely pocket a lot).
  3. Mike Sixel
    very bummed the Rockies are falling, because he's the perfect "buy low" guy.....

    I'd see if Colorado would bite on Gibson, any RP they want, and Dozier or Escobar for Jon Gray. I'd even throw in a SP from the minors if needed. Go big. If not something like that (which might not be realistic).....I'd try for A+ or AA guys right now. Then be aggressive with them. Philly, Washington, the Dodgers and Brewers and Cubs would be my targets. I'll post some targets later, pretty sure I am about to eat....
  5. Mike Sixel
    The Twins are likely to finish with around 90 losses, do you really think they are a contender next year? Without Dozier and Mauer? I don't.
  6. Mike Sixel
    this
  7. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they should promote the number 12 prospect in baseball at this point......
  8. Mike Sixel
    I was one of them, but he's not ready, agreed.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'd hope we trust the front office not to trade for guys ranked around 500th.... How do people think this team competes, if it won't trade impending free agents? This team is not a serious contender next year. Imo
  10. Mike Sixel
    Valuable? They won't even call up the RP taking up space in place of the old, bad, veterans in the pen. So, why do they need the space? But sure, don't promote Lewis or Rooker yet. The rest of the league is getting younger...
  11. Mike Sixel
    They build that solid core by trading players for more players. Like Houston did. Absolutely trade him, unless you are signing Machado and trading for a catcher. So, yes, trade him.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why is Lewis not promoted yet?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Is anyone going to ask the FO why Belisle has a job, and when he says mentor, follow up with "which young pitchers are actually on the roster" and ask what the other 6 - 8 veterans are doing?
  14. Mike Sixel
    so what is he accountable for then?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Gameday said sacrifice and error.....I'm cool with bunting for hits, to be clear...
  16. Mike Sixel
    Did they really sacrifice bunt in front of JO? Or was that an attempt at a hit?
  17. Mike Sixel
    IMO, hiring someone to lead a MLB team that had never managed before was a mistake. Leading a large group of people is not something you just pick up w/o any practice.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't think you and I are going to agree on this. No biggie.
  19. Mike Sixel
    He shouldn't have. Professional scouts rip college coaches that do this left and right. Teams stay away from drafting pitchers whose coaches do this. Certain schools have seen their pitchers go later in drafts because is how they treat them.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I guess demoting Romero isn't about innings limits....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Golly that intentional walk was stupid. Amazingly, fire the manager now, stupid.
  22. Mike Sixel
    because getting something for Dozier, or Rodney or Escobar or any other FA is better than nothing, and you can get lucky. Or, they can be used as part of packages. I'm not trading anyone under control past 2019, and probably not anyone not a FA this year, but I'd listen on Reed (not sure who else is a FA after 19 other than Castro). they don't have a competitive team, imo. Not tearing down when they could have was a mistake. Standing pat for a few extra moments of fun this summer doesn't help this team in 19 or beyond, and, imo, 18 is gone.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I see zero chance Mauer is dealt. And, I don't think many people here will be excited about the trade returns they do get, if any, from trades. Unless they bundle a couple players together, I see ok prospects coming back.
  24. Mike Sixel
    people have used phrases like lazy and doesn't care....among other things. I think that's the part that some of us push back on.
  25. Mike Sixel
    this didn't age well...
