    Why would they trade for a mediocre rental hitter right now? That makes no sense to me.
  2. Mike Sixel
    that part makes it really hard for sure.
  3. Mike Sixel
    hence my statement that if very few are at that level, it raises the question, do the Twins feel that others would have spent that much on the player, since there are hard caps now, what you spend on one player matters more than ever. hence my statement that we need to see how much everyone got.
  4. Mike Sixel
    has anyone ever claimed that? Ever?
  5. Mike Sixel
    That is, imo, unfair. There seems to be a reasonable question in his comment. I can't currently find a list of all the signings, but if there aren't many at that level, it seems reasonable to wonder why they paid that much. The teams clearly think they can rank 15 and 16 year olds, otherwise their wouldn't be big bonuses given out, so it isn't that they are not rankable at all.

    congrats to them both!

    Have a good, safe, US Holiday everyone. Go Twins.
  8. Mike Sixel
    to be clear, you think the teams are not working with their players to get better at their jobs, and are told not to worry about anything at all?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Integrity of voting for an all start game? Rameriaz had been the better okay for a year now
  10. Mike Sixel
    There is nothing to know about Rooker yet. He's just wasting time playing against high school kids. We won't know anything until AA.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I somehow forgot the DL thing. And yes, it would be great to have even one more interchangeable spot. And they could have used Belisle instead yesterday. But like I said, there must be some value we are not able to see in having very ineffective pitchers on the roster we can't understand.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Tebow has been worth millions of dollars apparently. Good for him.
  13. Mike Sixel
    And he is demoted, so Belisle and Breslow can stay. Clearly the front office knows something we don't about pitching
  14. Mike Sixel
    Gotta keep Breslow and Belisle on this roster somehow
  15. Mike Sixel
    and yet people are saying the Twins can trade for a MLB pitcher, from their minor league system.....so, which is it, you can trade for a number 2-4 (and its going to cost real prospects), or you can't trade ESan and expect to get anything back?
  16. Mike Sixel
    They couldn't deal Dozier from depth, that means, pretty much, you are dealing minor league players (from depth?) for major league players (minor league players aren't dealt for other minor league players).
  17. Mike Sixel
    I am not totally averse to that option, btw. I just don't see any evidence it will happen so far. I would hate to give up Gordon for a meh pitcher, which is my fear of who is actually available for more than this year.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather have 2 Gonsavles' in 2019, 20, 21, 22, than 1, yes, assuming the Twins think Gonalves is a legit SP, yes. And yes, that hurts this year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't really know. If he brings back a AA pitcher the Twins think can be a 3/4 for 5 years, I do that trade. Others wouldn't, and I'm cool with that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And I think that's a fair stance. We just start with a different premise on how real they are this year, imo, hence we end up at a different spot for the deadline. We also have a very different view of his likely aging curve.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Has Sano been the best 3B the last calendar year, or to start this year?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't do it yet, either. I thought you were saying not at all this year.....if not, my bad.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I was responding to the post that said he'd still be good in 3 years.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Five pitchers 35 or older have started and pitched more than 70 innings this year. Two have a positive WAR. Six 34 year olds have, of those, 5 are pitching well. We think how many of those 6 will still be good in 3 years?
  25. Mike Sixel
    That doesn't actually answer the question about how very, very, rare that is for a 37/8 year old. If it were true, why aren't there more crafty veterans right now that are starting pitchers?
