    people are awfully down on De Leon pretty fast. His numbers in AAA dwarf what any AA pitcher the Twins have is doing.
  2. 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.
  3. Mike Sixel
    has it been 2 weeks yet? Is Rooker promoted?
  4. 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.
  5. Mike Sixel
    They couldn't deal Dozier the entire off season. So, why could they now?
  6. Mike Sixel
    how do you propose they get pitching next year, or the year after, if not in trades?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but it has to be for a controllable pitcher. And no, Gordon alone isn't enough to get that.....
  8. 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.
  9. Mike Sixel
    good point!
  10. 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.

    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.

    I don't see much of anything interesting happening in terms of trades this season. Nothing interesting happened in FA or trades in the offseason, and I don't know what is really all that different now. They are about 5 games ahead of what most here projected they'd be, that's in the margin of error for sure. The hitters and pitchers have all been about what you'd expect, except maybe Dozier is worse and Kintzler and ESan a bit better. I'm not sure what's different now, than 4 months ago that would indicate movement is afoot.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This would appear to make it less likely they promote anyone from AA soon.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I don't think service clocks are a big issue for pitchers. And if you never act out of fear, you never act.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Seth.
  16. Mike Sixel
    For three days? Also, Garver won't play every day next year either. And it's not like either of them is young. So, no, for a few days, it doesn't matter to their development.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Bring unready, if true, is inexcusable. I really hope that their scouting and prep work is better than that. And, being able to pinch hit with granite or Garver would have been nicer than having that many pitchers.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hoping to have some funds available next week
  19. Mike Sixel
    Why would they trade for a mediocre rental hitter right now? That makes no sense to me.
  20. Mike Sixel
    that part makes it really hard for sure.
  21. 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.
  22. Mike Sixel
    has anyone ever claimed that? Ever?
  23. 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.
  24. Mike Sixel
    congrats to them both!
  25. Mike Sixel
    Have a good, safe, US Holiday everyone. Go Twins.
