    Ok, the team was bad.....so, I guess they should do something to make it better. I am not 100% sure I'd have traded Berrios, but I also don't know it was wrong. I mean, sure, if they weren't bad, you don't deal him...but they were.....It isn't a theoretical situation, it is a real one. They were bad....

    NL rules.....almost necessitated it.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    theoretically this is money I can lose....last year I did 125%....this year I'm down 60%....mostly one stock.
  4. Mike Sixel
    You really think that last part? That we don't understand winning matters? I'm guessing nearly every GM in the league does what the Twins did......
  5. Mike Sixel
    My investments are mostly fine....the day trading is NOT......
  6. Mike Sixel
    Winner
  7. Mike Sixel
    Well, Cave might be on the roster next year.....who would you put at SS? Polanco isn't viewed as one. The pitchers deserve some defense behind them.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. What a terrible year for me this year trading wise.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Jax and the guy from STL are on the roster....unsure of others.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'll try not to repeat myself, but anyone that doesn't get multiple starts in MN this year can't be counted on to start the season in MN next year. They need, probably, 2 starters from the system to do that next year. Ober, Dobnak, Winder, B*, Ryan are all ahead of Jax. I truly think they are doing Jax a disservice here, as I think he can be a MLB RP.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    So they should just give up? Not sure what you are suggesting they do.

    Good luck getting any OF outs....ouch. I mean I get that I value D more than some, but ouch.
  14. Mike Sixel
    What pitcher could they sign right now? I mean, this guy is there now. They will give him a shot this year. He may or may not take a spot next year......but right now? There is no harm right now. Of course it doesn't work often, few great players are sitting around......but it only has to work once (see, Badoo, Akil, Detroit Tigers, for an example).
  15. Mike Sixel
    I am baffled at Jax getting the start. He's, ugh. Mind. Boggling. Make him a RP and see if he can do that. Ugh. Just. Ugh. Any young guy without multiple starts THIS YEAR has a near zero or less chance of starting the year in MN next season. Get the AAA guys and B* (I really need to learn his name) up some this year. Or, kiss next year goodbye.
  16. Mike Sixel
    He's in the minors....what is the downside?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Because some FAs decided to go elsewhere? Because people change. Because they made some mistakes.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Jax? Really? They are going with Jax and not Winder or anyone else? Jax IS NOT A STARTING MLB PITCHER.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, until today there was only 1 rookie on the SP staff......now is when it matters, when they have to replace Berrios, Shoemaker, and Happ.......so we don't know yet......(added: one at a time, and Mike was also hurt some).
  20. Mike Sixel
    9 of their top 12 prospects are in AA or AAA....not to mention a bunch of RPs there. I don't see a long rebuild, unless they are just plain flat bad at developing players.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Once their owners decided to skate on one championship, and make all their money from real estate, it was inevitable they were done.......pretty sad really.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Did the Cubs deal 7 guys off their roster? Wowsers.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I disagree. Who is going to mentor the young guys, just Maeda? I really think we under estimate that.......these are people that need support from guys that have been there, done that.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I just want to compliment your use of "have" rather than "of". Thank you.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Huh, if only I had thought of that mentoring thing.....
