    Underwhelming, but not sure what else they could do if they didn't like the braves players. Once they took the money away from a poor person, I wondered what their plans were for it

    i'm not saying it.....read the internet. People have been saying he's the number 1 free agent for a long time, years. People are saying he'd get around $150-200MM if he was truly a FA. He's the best FA, by far, not even close. He's young. He's healthy. He has multiple pitches. If he's just "OK" this year, he'll probalby put up around 3 WAR as a SP, if he's dominant in his first year, he'll put up 4-6 WAR.

    where, exactly, did I say Thorpe should be there this year? I want him set up for next year (uh, to me, this year is 2018......). Ready. Not "he needs at least half a year in AA/AAA first" ready. That's hardly "sprinting" if he's the prospect they need him to be. And, he's just one example. Why did Gonsalves spend nearly all year in AA, utterly dominating, and not move to AAA sooner to face better hitters? We are just going to disagree on this. IMO, they aren't going to win anything if they won't take risks. Those risks include moving someone that might be an ok number 5 to RP sooner, rather than later, and getting a guy like Thorpe ready to pitch in the majors in 2019.

    Every year they delay having the good pitchers in MN, is another year gone of having Sano, Buxton, et. al. all on the roster.

    This. Be aggressive, try to win. This team and its fans spend a lot of time trying not to lose.....Slegers is very unlikely to be a very good starting pitcher, but he might be a very good RP. They have plenty of guys in AA and AAA with similar stuff as him, as this article points out. Start moving some of them to RP sooner rather than later.

    The rush would be, I don't know, getting him to MN before he gets older. This site is filled with people saying hte TWins should slow play their pitchers, let them get more time in the low minors, what is the hurry.....how has the worked out for this team? Why are other teams calling up younger players? Why are other teams calling up younger RPs, and seeing more strikeouts than this team? Maybe it is because pitchers lose velocity as they age.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    So you think Slegers is more likely to be a good MLB pitcher than Thorpe?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Keep the actual good pitchers down so a bunch of number five at best can be up? Hate that. I don't care about she, I want the best up
  9. Mike Sixel
    I love how people are trying to disparage Ohtani now that he won't be a Twin. He is the number one FA, by far, this year and would have been last year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Counting on him to be ready is a bad plan.
  11. Mike Sixel
    There is no evidence of this front office making strikeouts a priority or not. We literally have no idea, based on their inaction last year or this, so far. People keep posting about the front office like we have any idea what they will do. How do you know?
  12. Mike Sixel
    No surprise, no disappointment.
  13. Mike Sixel
    100 percent right on.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not much, no. Pro sports are almost entirely about the players. And almost none of the players were added last year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    What did last year have to do with anything the new FO did?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Shocking he's not coming to Minnesota.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think I keep him for now. Let's see where the team is at the deadline before trading off assets. This is, of course, assuming they don't sign O and D and need the money for RPs....... I see a regression coming, and I see the team dealing him at the deadline. But, keeping the option open that they are good again has real value (in wins and losses, and ticket sales), and they should keep that value for now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    people keep typing this, and it keeps going up. I can't wait for the futures market to start....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tech stocks taking a major bath today. There will be sales later today and tomorrow. Of course, if you trade on Fidelity, good luck with that..... Seriously. NVIDIA is not going anywhere......and they just dropped over 7%. Think of it as a XMAS sale on stock prices.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    they make it hard to give them money!
  21. Mike Sixel
    For those that like funds, I am a big fan of ROBO....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Then buy it when it drops for no good reason. Or don't, I am just an internet poster, not an advisor
  23. Mike Sixel
    Never liked the original Diaz signing, so I am biased about his ranking. Big fan of the rest of this list
  24. Mike Sixel
    MSFT is a great stock, imo
  25. Mike Sixel
    I would take him in an instant if I was a bad team. Put him in the bullpen and see what his stuff looks like.
