    Fair question. Good question. Santana is 34 (I think) and is showing signs of slowing down some. And, he's gone after next year. Gibson is bad. Berrios is probably good. Mejia is a wild card, but probably a 4 at best, imo. FA So, ya, if you are keeping Gibson or counting on May, then maybe you think you only need 1 SP. I think this team needs at least 2. But, I can see the argument they only need 1.

    I like the "and" instead of just "instead".....trade AND spend.
  3. Mike Sixel
    then where will you get pitching? I don't think any team has ever bought 2 legit SPs in FA in one year, but I could be wrong about that. edit to add: If they never trade for a SP, out of fear, and they don't draft them in round 1, out of fear.....and signing guys into their late 30s is not done....where do they find pitching?
  4. Mike Sixel
    .750 OPS SS is 10th in all of MLB.....I'd think that's quite valuable, if you can play good defense.
  5. Mike Sixel
    if not, they are doing it wrong. IMO, of course. if they expected all the pitchers they have added to fail, that's an issue too, I'd think.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Not sure if serious, but he had TJ surgery this year. He's not likely to be super ready/effective next year.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Can only judge them on their actions to find hidden gems, so far, ummmm.

    Darvish will stay in TX, as they are trying to entice Otani, from what I read. Arrieta has been pretty "meh" this year, he has 1-2 great years, and a bunch of "meh" years. But, he'll cost like a top end guy, imo. Price, hard to see how he opts out, given his health this year, but it's possible. Cueto, hmmmm, he's a tough one. If he does opt out, it's because he's been very good and healthy. If so, he's going to cost the most of any player on this list. I'm not convinced those others are number 1/2 types at all.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'd like to dream on that too. So far, their AAA scouting skills and RP FA signing skills seem suspect at best.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    break the bank, in FA? 1. there aren't many great FA available. 2. you have to outbid the other teams for those few pitchers (if any)
  11. Mike Sixel
    so, don't trade for a good SP? Where do you expect to get good SP for the next 3 years while Sano is here?
  12. Mike Sixel
    so, never draft or trade for pitchers? got it.
  13. Mike Sixel
    We must be reading very different sites, because I haven't seen anyone say he's moving off SS anytime soon in over a year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Given what other teams gave up for unproven draft pick QBs, we'll just disagree that was an overpay...but your point is valid. If the Twins won't trade for or sign legit SP, this team is doomed to mediocrity.
  15. Mike Sixel
    people are awfully down on De Leon pretty fast. His numbers in AAA dwarf what any AA pitcher the Twins have is doing.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Good FA pitchers will get around 14-16 per year, minimum, this off season. More like 20MM per year if they are as good as him. Maybe more.
  17. Mike Sixel
    has it been 2 weeks yet? Is Rooker promoted?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'll take that bet right now. He's a legit SS starter next year, and for the next 5-10. You, sir, are very incorrect about Gordon's time table.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They couldn't deal Dozier the entire off season. So, why could they now?
  20. Mike Sixel
    how do you propose they get pitching next year, or the year after, if not in trades?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but it has to be for a controllable pitcher. And no, Gordon alone isn't enough to get that.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Lewis will not be a SS. Lewis will not be a SS. Lewis will not be a SS. As for Gordon, you need to get a legit starter controlled for at least three more years, or I am not interested. He will be at least a league average SS for s long time.
  23. Mike Sixel
    good point!
  24. Mike Sixel
    FWIW: Tye: Would someone like Stroman, Gray, or Archer be a reasonable get for the Twins? Keith Law: It makes absolutely no sense for the Twins to trade prospects for major-league help right now.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The roster is filled with nice players, but it takes elite players (and lots of nice players) to be champions. It's hard to see any elite players other than Sano and maybe Berrios right now. It's very nice to have no gaping holes, but that's not enough, most likely, to win in the playoffs. Buxton could be elite if he hits close to league average. And learns how to steal more/more efficiently.
