    I can promise I put effort into things not on a sport's message board....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Who says no? Rogers, Larnach, Sanchez San Diego catcher (any of their top three), Paddock, Hosmer, minor league player in the top ten...
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Gore hasn't thrown a strike in two years, apparently....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Did it actually matter? Really?
  5. Mike Sixel
    I doubt Rodgers is in the deal... But remember, the twins were a top ten bullpen in the second half last year.... Try to erase the early months from your minds...
  6. Mike Sixel
    Berrios was pretty good here, as was Pineda....

    84 wins? Sounds about right to me. (they were actually not bad once they cut their "closer" and made a couple other changes last year) The 'pen is better than I think, and there are assets to add and subtract there. It can't be as bas as last year started. The O is good, and could be great by mid-year when AK is at first, Martin or Larnach is in Left. The D? That's a bit scary right now. Somehow, Sano can't play first, and yet, there he'll be. Sanchez? Scary on D. LF? Ummmm.....not sure I love AK in the OF. The starters? They are lucky they can have extra players for a month, and piggy back them. I just hope they commit to the process with Bundy and Archer and two young guys.....we'll see (not that they've said they'll do it).

    Star pitchers will still pitch a lot....but MOST teams don't have even 1 star pitcher, let alone 4 or 5......
  10. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't sign Upton, and I don't think they will either....but, never say never....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm betting it will be pretty clear which three pitchers can be DFA or demoted or whatever in a month....
  12. Mike Sixel
    If it was up to me...... I don't believe in Rooker, and I think they need D, so I'd rather have Garlick. Or, better...... I'd put Martin or Larncah in LF right now, Kiriloff at first, and Sano at DH. Sanchez would be the second catcher and pinch hitter. While I don't know if Larnach will ever justify his selection, or if he's ready, I'd 100% rather have AK at first than Sano and Sano at DH than Sanchez, so I'd roll the dice......As a true believer in Martin, I'd just roll with him, but I don't see them doing that. The one thing that could really change that all is if Upton signs here once he gets thru the claiming timerame, and they don't have to pay him a billion dollars...and putting him in LF.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I've been begging the Twins to piggy back pitchers for years....unless you have 4 very good starters, you really need to piggy back to succeed. So, I'm hoping Archer and another are piggy backed.....and since I have zero faith in Bundy, him also. That also gives the younger pitchers MLB experience.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I like the gamble. Real upside, with a good floor.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Their payroll is lower than it was decades ago. What leaf?
  16. Mike Sixel
    My prediction is Jax isn't long for the roster....but at least they FINALLY moved him to relief.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing here, but I think Archer goes short starts, with another "starter" piggy backing him. That likely means he's got a decent leash, as I hope he can get through an order once....... I'd bet Bundy is gone before Archer, but that's a different topic.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He will be, but he's never shown it. That's usually how promotions work. I don't doubt Lewis has great potential....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Martin can hit, and Lewis has not shown that at all, that's how he passes him this year (not long term). I'm not saying it will happen, but I can see it for sure.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Martin should be in MN as the starting LF, or in AAA. I remain baffled he's in AA and Lewis is in AAA. Utterly. I agree with your first sentence, completely.
  21. Mike Sixel
    you seem to be ignoring defense when comparing Larnah to Kepler...... I'm ok with moving Kepler, if they just put Martin out there in LF and let him run with it....and they get a SP in return. I just don't know that any of the SD pitchers that are available are much better than what the Twins have* (unless he replaces Bundy immediately). *If all the young guys are bad, one more pitcher on a 2 year deal isn't helping
  22. Mike Sixel
    Debut? Sure. Maybe. But they won't be permanent replacements. Is this really a concern? I feel like people are looking for something to worry about.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Snell and Kepler are a wash, IMO. The Twins don't have three good starting OFers, and people want to trade Kepler? I'm baffled.
  24. Mike Sixel
    This is the year their beliefs in not signing top FA pitchers and their ability to develop them has to pay off. Or I'd fire them. They've had long enough to draft and develop pitching..... And we're still waiting.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm not exactly confident.....
