    Not a fan of bat first, no fielders, in round one at all. Then this? Very disappointing. The two pitchers are interesting, and the kind I would convert to reliever and move up fast, which is why I'm no GM ...

    I agree with the general premise. I also agree with Brock. I'll be honest.... If Burrows is on this roster still, over at least three candidates in AAA, I don't like what they are doing at all. In five years, we still don't have one pitcher, starter or reliever, we are confident in. While there weren't great free agents this year, their inability to trade for or sign guys to longer deals, meant they had to, again, get two new starting pitchers. That's not a sustainable model. Next year is the year they are out of excuses. If there aren't multiple pitchers up from the system after six years...... Also, their emphasis on bat first, mediocre or worse fielders in the draft? Not a fan at all.

    Burrows was released by Detroit, because he was bad there also. This isn't just the Minnesota experience. Should be be on the roster right now? That's the question.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I posted a poll asking what the Twins should do with Burrows......
  5. Mike Sixel
    Right? He didn't leave any doubts. If he's on the roster after today, I will join the chorus calling for the FO to go.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yes ...
  7. Mike Sixel
    Mind. Boggling.

    Admittedly, it is a small sample.... If AAA and AA weren't full of potential RPs, you could keep trying.... But there are so many options that, imo, they should get ready for next year.... That he should go to AAA or be claimed by another organization
  9. Mike Sixel
    Me too.......

    I'm all for doing it, just move on after a certain point. And, this happened in Detroit also, not just here. Take chances! But be willing to move on when it doesn't work.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm ready to move on from Burrows......
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's not one game. It's nearly every MLB game he's been in, here and Detroit.
  13. Mike Sixel
    That's not his fault..... He should have been up much sooner. I have no idea how they will gather any MLB data on the arms actually on their system of they won't call them up. No idea how they plan to build a bullpen next year at this rate. Hopefully they prove me wrong....

    Barstool is a racist, sexist, pile of steaming offal. Not one owner is going to take a stand? Horrible. If I didn't want to support the owners of this site, I'd do nothing MLB related if this happens.
  15. Mike Sixel
    What would Moran have to do to get called up?
  16. Mike Sixel
    This.
  17. Mike Sixel
    This season is now about seeing what players can do. I couldn't disagree more with your post. Again, he's not making these decisions on his own. He and the front office are working on this together to see what they have for next year. Also, how is it not leadership to change lineups?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand how Moran isn't a Twin already.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well.... Gordon isn't getting singles either. And he is an ok fielder. He also swings at everything outside the zone. He has zero in common with the players you mentioned. Also, just because we used to not have data before does but mean it isn't useful.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure why they'd move Polanco back to SS. He's not good there. He's a legit good 2B. I'm not sure why I mess with that. They do not have a SS in the system. It is priority 2 in FA this year for sure (or trade). That's why you keep playing Simmons. Because Polanco is a 2B. The real question is what is Arraez if Polanco is your 2B?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd 100% prefer Thorpe move the bullpen, where he has a much better chance of being a MLB pitcher. Ober, Jax, Dobnak are all as good or better than Thorpe as starters. Give Thorpe a legit shot to be part of the bullpen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ya. It was great going up from the bottom....oh well. Just need one drug....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd expect a start or two in St. Paul. Then hopefully with the big league club.

    I hope Ryan is with the Twins, not saints.
