    So trading one for Maeda was wrong? You have to deal talent to get talent. But no, we don't agree at all they were dealt a good pitching hand. Not at all.
  2. Mike Sixel
    He leads with his elbow, which hides the pitch longer.
  3. Mike Sixel
    People call them stupid, clueless, idiots, people without a plan, etc. everyday on this board. Every day. None of those pitchers are good. Most were not highly regarded outside Minnesota, not after a year or so in the minors. But again, not the point.
  4. Mike Sixel
    So, he's very valuable, but not a good trade chip?
  5. Mike Sixel
    They had ample talent, but they aren't good at bringing in talent......ok. You completely ignored the whole part about results.... Winning the division two straight years. Dropping the team ERA from awful to great. Are either of those indicative of them being idiots who only sell the future?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Y'all are awesome..... But my point was pretty specific.... Anyone saying they are idiots, and only sell the future.....? Has not witnessed the two years before this. For the more details..... Look at the awful minor league pitching they inherited, even if you count Luis Gil, they literally inherited one possible starting pitcher. And a young Berrios. That's it. And people say the pitching should be fixed, after that mess, and last year's lost season. That's not very realistic. I don't love many of their decisions, and really hate their drafts, but to claim they are clueless, to say they know nothing about pitching after what they did the two years before this? You aren't being realistic at all. Claim they are wrong too much. Claim other things. But the ignoring of real success and saying it isn't real? Just bias. Plain and simple.

    I'm continually confused by statements that the FO has "no idea what it is doing" "they never make good decisions" etc............... They literally won the division the last two years. You can be disappointed in this year, I think everyone is. But .... I think saying they are clueless idiots and we are only ever sold hope for the future....seems to completely ignore the last two years. PS. Before you point out "last year doesn't count".....every team played under the same conditions, and the Twins won. It isn't their fault Covid happened....

    the headline and the last paragraph don't go very well together.....he still looks like possibly a mid-rotation starter. Frankly, I doubt ANY scouting reports had him that good.....so maybe the headline is right, but the last paragraph isn't... I think he's a 4, that will sometimes pitch like a 3. That's a good pitcher. 2 WAR a year, give or take. It was a GREAT trade.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't know, they won the division the last two years.....for me, that buys them more than 1 year......
  10. Mike Sixel
    I've never liked the Rooker pick, so you are nicer than me.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    That's what I've been trying to tell people......
  12. Mike Sixel
    I guess Miranda has been a tiny bit better.....their numbers are nearly identical. That said, Miranda is a better defender, and is younger......but I don't get why anyone thinks he needs to be up this year (not sure if you do or not).....but he's no more earned it than Rooker did, which was my point. Rooker will be on another team's roster, and Miranda will be in MN at some point next year. IMO.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This, to me, means you can't trust him to be in the rotation day 1 next year (later, maybe, sure).....which means Ober, Ryan, and ummmmm....which stinks.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Did 29 teams pass on every free agent the twins have signed? I think we are just going to disagree here, which is fine with me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Did you look at them in AAA? I don't disagree, but that's hardly the point. He's no more earned it than Brent did.... Why does he need to be up this year?
  16. Mike Sixel
    It appears to be NOT HITTING RETURN when pasting! Well done!

  18. Mike Sixel
    Def not keeping it in plain text.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Was unsure where to put this one..... https://twitter.com/enosarris/status/1435991591609516037?s=20 again. no idea why the tweet shows up, then disappears.....but the Twins' ranking on Stuff+ is *not good*.
  20. Mike Sixel
    HIs AAA stats are worse than Rooker's.....what is the hurry, here?
  21. Mike Sixel
    What a play by Jeffers. Wow.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He wasn't expected to be a 1.0 fWAR guy.........who would you have put at SS? I'm guessing 99% of the people in MLB and this site would disagree with you, btw.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It would be unheard of? for a team to bring in three really good starters from the outside in one year, I'd think (unless one was a total reclamation project that got lucky)...... Also, I'm really baffled by these posts (not you only, clearly)....they won the division the last two years. That's pretty competitive, I'd think.
  24. Mike Sixel
    From my brain to your fingers....agreed.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Too many, is my guess. Ober, Ryan, Gant, Dobnak. That's too many on opening day, imo.
