    where is "meh" at in the list? I've never quite figured that out.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Yes they are. But its a a lot harder to acquire good, long term, assets.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Indeed I did. Tiresome wasn't it?
  4. Mike Sixel
    A hitter. Need to make sure they have 15-20 pitchers on teh roster.
  5. Mike Sixel
    So many comments about posters and their feeling. So tiresome. So very tiresome. Shoring up the back or middle of the rotation is a good idea, depending on the cost of course. Did I mention how tiresome it is that people have to constantly comment on posters and their feelings, rather than what is happening? We have a whole thread for that.

    One of our members pointed out that if you remove both ends (slaughterer, and slaughterie), they still have a huge issue with run differential. You can't just ignore one of the tails.
  7. Mike Sixel
    you and I agree on that, I don't have any idea what their plan is!
  8. Mike Sixel
    then I'm all in. well, maybe. Depends on what their budget is and if this keep them from adding 2 RPs and a good FA Starter next year....then I am not sure.
  9. Mike Sixel
    wouldn't it be better to just sign a decent pitcher in FA next off season, than get Sammy? IMO, he's not much help this year in terms of making them great again.
  10. Mike Sixel
    well, ya, but you said you'd give them nothing in return, so not sure how they are getting younger, unless you just mean they'll promote someone, and not add anything to the minors. I wouldn't give up Gonsalves and more, like jim, but I'd certainly give up a few pieces the FO doesn't have a ton of faith in.
  11. Mike Sixel
    none this year I've had A LOT Less time to pay attn to the minors this year. A lot. that was the past, should have been clear on that, my bad.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's an interesting thought. I have no idea if it is a good idea, or a realistic idea. Why would teh Tigers give them away? What do they get out of the deal? Do we think they'll spend that money next year, or is it just saving money? Does anyone have any idea what the ownership a: is; and b: what they want? I don't.
  13. Mike Sixel
    so, none of the AA pitchers should be in AAA, or AAA is just a waste? Because lots of people were pretty sure 1-2 of them would be promoted by now if they were good the first half of this year. I'm asking, because I am curious.
  14. Mike Sixel
    well, I'm not sure what is "true" or not. I think elite guys aren't challenged in A ball enough, and don't learn soon enough how to recover from failure and other things. but, that's just an uniformed opinion, and I am willing to admit I could be wrong. I just watch some Twins' players, and wonder why they spend a full year in A and A+, but less than that in AA or AAA facing tougher competition. As for AAA ball, there are a lot of borderline MLBers there. I would think getting experience against consistently better players would be helpful.

    1. sorry to anyone that is bored. 2. we lost sight of a good win. 3. this might be a really interesting thing for FG or someone to look into, actually. How does fielding change in "blowouts" if at all. I'd be interested in that study.
  16. Mike Sixel
    you know, that's all fair. I think I was just stuck on the "in fairness" part, and then we got all wrapped up in a conversation I'm sure most everyone else is already bored with! sorry about that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    funny, didn't even notice that!
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm. What top 20 pitcher is available, and has more than 1.5 years on his contract? I like the idea, not sure it is as realistic as getting a 2/3 type, and promoting 1-2 of the AA guys.
  19. Mike Sixel
    FYI: Anthony 1:59 What makes Dan Straily sort of good? Can he keep doing this? Eno Sarris 2:00 1) Has the biggest or second biggest difference between the fastball and changeup vertically, meaning he's combining a rising fastball (popups) with a great change (whiffs and grounders). 2) Throws anything in any count. 3) Has decent command and three legit pitches. I think he can be league average, slightly better, for a while, yes.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Agree with nearly all of that. It's about the cost, and about if you believe in Gray. I don't know if we have seen all the "big" trades yet. I guess the Quintana trade does not agree with you that no big trades have happened this year, and we are still 10ish days from the deadline. We'll see what happens. edit: Oops, I missed you said rentals. Other than Santana, I don't think the Twins have an asset teams would value super highly (that is available). Kintzler is an interesting case. he's a FA, and he's been good. I would keep him, unless they lose a lot the next 10 days. I'm on the "trade marginal prospect(s) for MLB player(s)" side right now. That's especially true because I don't think they are willing to promote guys I would promote right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Meh, none of those guys even crack the top 10-15 for MN......not sure I'd trade 4 guys in that range for 1 guy, though. Not sure I wouldn't either.
  22. Mike Sixel
    to me, I'd rather they hurry thru A ball, and spend more time in AA and AAA, being challenged. If they are going to hurry at all. Like Rooker this year. They are really, imo, challenging him. I like that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    too late, I think he's back with his old team.
  24. Mike Sixel
    they don't. Well, I think Santana might be worth that. But the point was, they traded players when they were around .500, and that gave them good depth to trade from in future years. Kind of like what some of us wanted done before the year started. Kind of like what some people want (I'm not currently on one side or the other) now. edit to add: I wonder if this year's Yankees players are playing so badly because the FO gave up on the team last year /s.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think that's totally fair. Of course, you are also giving up Gordon and one of the good AA pitchers and 1-2 more players, not just Gordon. I don't know what to think of Gray, frankly. If the FO thinks he's going to be a 2/3 for three years, I probably do what it takes to get him. Probably.
