    so, what do you want? trading legit multiple prospects for Gray? trading mediocre prospects for ok RPs/rentals?
  2. Mike Sixel
    No chance he costs that much.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Adding an innings eater doesn't do much, if the goal is to win the division. One thing Molitor has done well is, mostly, not wasting his good RPs in bad games.
  4. Mike Sixel
    what does "buy" mean to you, Seth? Gordon and another top piece for Gray? Marginal prospect for a RP? something between?
  5. Mike Sixel
    "we" don't, actually, when assessing how good a player is. "in fairness" implied that it wasn't important to assessing if he is a good player or not, imo. Maybe I read that wrong. What did "in fairness" mean? And yes, I very much am bothered by "another gear" in that situation, since you are pretty much saying he didn't care/try all that much there, compared to other times. Also, "pitch to the score"? Years of analysis has been done on that, because that was Morris' point....and the data is clear, it's not really true.

    Miinor league players are almost never traded for other minor league players. There are a lot of theories why, but it is what it is. So, I doubt we'll see Garver moved for a minor league player. Frankly, I'd have him in MN as utility guy/catcher/ph/dh vs lefities. But I have my doubts.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Exciting for sure!
  8. Mike Sixel
    You realize the Yankees traded off players, while playing .500 ball, to get all those excess minor league players, and have a system considered better than the Twins (before this year started), right? I asked in another thread, what price, for what upgrade? Like, 2 of their best prospects for Gray (who isn't nearly as good as Quintana)? Or, a mediocre player for a mediocre RP or two?
  9. Mike Sixel
    clearly that proves he should pitch the 7th inning.....duh.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You think he was lazy because they were up five? Is that the context? I'd argue he was lucky it wasn't a tied game, not that he knew it wasn't a big deal due to the score.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Breslow seems like an obvious candidate.
  12. Mike Sixel
    cool. One thing, I struggle with "average age" since most really good prospects get promoted, and older guys that aren't good enough repeat levels. But I've never seen a good way to compare players to other players on similar tracks (college, actual prospectness, etc.)
  13. Mike Sixel
    A true mentor!
  14. Mike Sixel
    we hear about the clubhouse a lot from some posters...... How do we think players feel about the FO giving starts to a player that is doubting he should be in teh majors anymore?
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's possible, but there was clearly an argument being made that there is no correlation.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Weird. I mean, a team in contention just acquired him to be one of their starters, and he isn't sure he's good enough to be playing? Weird.
  17. Mike Sixel
    that first paragraph is filled with so much wrongness, it is unreal. Seriously? a 44 yo and correlation? wow.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The specs aren't "exact" at all. They allow for huge variance.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I realized after I hit "post" that I typed that timeline up wrong....and that it was really the previous year I wanted him converted while the Twins were good, and they needed bullpen help. Kind of like this year, and Turley and possibly others being in a similar position as Rogers.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Money. They use a cheaper company/process to build the minor league balls. and no, it makes no sense at all.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Last year, several of us called for Rogers to be made a bullpen arm at the beginning of the year. Everyone on the planet knew that was his future, but it took time to do. No idea why. I suggest moving Turley to the bullpen, and calling him up. I suggest calling Buesnitz back up. I suggest using the assets they have in the most productive way, not leaving them in the minors and hoping they become something they are not ever going to be. Start there, and see what happens. But using Breslow does nothing for the present, and nothing for the future. It's, frankly, not explainable.
  22. Mike Sixel
    someone expected Breslow to be a key contributor? That person should be fired right now.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I thought FTM was aggressive compared to the league and the Twins, and it appears that is true. Would be nice if they were mildly so with AA pitchers that continue to dominate that level...
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, Berrios pitched on teh side with the MLB ball. I hope they are having Turley do that also.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He's bad. He should not be pitching for a team that thinks it might be buyers. Breslow back on the roster, so there is no bench? Really? That's the plan from a FO that supposedly knows pitching? Everyone's fear of bringing up young players is maddening to me. They've drafted and developed 1 pitcher in like 10 years that is a starter (we hope). It's time to completely change their approach. I suggest promoting good players to a level that challenges them, or even the majors. and no, Granite should not be in the 2 hole right now. How can anyone say that with a straight face?
