    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.

    This would appear to make it less likely they promote anyone from AA soon.

    I don't think service clocks are a big issue for pitchers. And if you never act out of fear, you never act.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Seth.

    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.
  6. 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.

    Hoping to have some funds available next week

    Why would they trade for a mediocre rental hitter right now? That makes no sense to me.
  9. Mike Sixel
    that part makes it really hard for sure.

    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.
  11. Mike Sixel
    has anyone ever claimed that? Ever?
  12. 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.
  13. Mike Sixel
    congrats to them both!
  14. Mike Sixel
    Have a good, safe, US Holiday everyone. Go Twins.
  15. 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?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Integrity of voting for an all start game? Rameriaz had been the better okay for a year now
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tebow has been worth millions of dollars apparently. Good for him.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And he is demoted, so Belisle and Breslow can stay. Clearly the front office knows something we don't about pitching
  21. Mike Sixel
    Gotta keep Breslow and Belisle on this roster somehow
  22. 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?
  23. 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).
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
