    I agree that was the plan, but it hasn't worked. At some point, you move on from your plan (also, that Chaargois, Burdi, Jay would be ready hasn't worked).
  2. Mike Sixel
    it's not about 1 guy, it's a pattern.....a pattern that is hard to understand. Sub out gonsalves, and put in any RP pretty much. the pattern is clear, they aren't giving any current minor leaguer that is a legit prospect a promotion or chance in MN, despite having no starters in AAA, and few good bullpen options in MN. Waiting for the minor league all star break is pretty arbitrary, when you are hanging onto first place by your nails, imo.
  3. Mike Sixel
    why the heck would anyone trade for Breslow or Belisle? If that is what they are waiting for, um, good luck.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Well, it wasn't 2 weeks 4 weeks ago. And, if it is only 2 weeks, what are we expecting them to learn in that time? Remember when Berrios wasn't ready, and then he made 1 more start, and all of a sudden he was? That seems, unlikely.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree, he should go to AAA. I just don't see what 2 more starts in AA does, what does that do? I'm genuinely curious about that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    It's very important that a 22 yo college player go to Elizabethton. Man, I hope you are wrong.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Promoting 1 guy means you have to reorganize your minor league system? that's a new one.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm fascinated that both of them got over slot deals, frankly. Fascinated.
  9. Mike Sixel
    people have been typing that for weeks. And yet, we don't. Belisle and Breslow should not be on a contending team's roster, imo.
  10. Mike Sixel
    With those three going to FtM, Rooker has to start at least there, right? edit: or, do you mean to their complex, and not the team?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Loved that countdown!
  12. Mike Sixel
    Heh, would have been nice to buy Whole Foods yesterday! But, they aren't doing well. I'm not sure I do this if I'm Amazon. I'm very curious about this move. I understand they want to be more vertical, and physically present, but I have my doubts about this.
  13. Mike Sixel
    he's not ready because he's not up? We don't know that. No one knows that. At least he should be in AAA, but this FO isn't promoting anyone right now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Still trying to understand why Gonsalves is in AA.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    We have no evidence this FO will call up RPs from the system. Indeed, all the evidence shows otherwise. I don't get it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, i should have been more clear, I really, really, really like Gordon right now. It's why I would be unhappy with a trade of him for some mediocre pitcher under control for 1.5 years or so....
  17. Mike Sixel
    dollar cost averaging is a myth, or whatever you call a "theory that doesn't play out in practice".....just buy investments all thru your life, and try not to sell them unless you need the cash or a much better one comes along.... Brock, I don't think it's a bad plan, given your psychology/preferences. Possibly also your chosen life style of foster parenting.
  18. Mike Sixel
    by "we all", you don't mean "we", btw. I don't have any such expectation right now, as he has yet to play one minor league game. I expect Gordon to be a slightly above average SS for 8 or more years. If Lewis is an above average SS or CF for 8+ years, I won't be disappointed in Lewis (though I may be disappointed they didn't draft someone else).
  19. Mike Sixel
    I can't put an injured RP that high. No way Jay is in the top 10 for me anymore. Sigh, bummer. I think Lewis and Gordon will be about equal, on most sites. Both 55ish players.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Not sure which thread to post it in.....but KLAW has his writeup up..... "Early reviews around the game on the Twins' draft have been ... less than glowing." He likes the Enlow pick for sure. It's kind of hard to really get a handle on his thoughts, really.... http://www.espn.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=7244#MIN
  21. Mike Sixel
    It was very well written indeed. After day 1, I was confused, I'll admit it. But, once people explained why Leach would go before Enlow, it made a lot more sense. Still not exactly what I would have done, but at least they took some upside pitching. And Rooker is intriguing, I hope they push him up fast to start.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, there is nowhere else for him to be than in the MN Twins' lineup.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Just a guess.....but partly that, and partly they played 7 inning games, and they wanted the bullpen to get work in both.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Yes, but that's super risky. Why not just take the one guy you really like? It looks like the Yankees may have tried something like that this year, but it's hard to tell exactly what they were thinking.
  25. Mike Sixel
    None of those guys were 22 yo college players, other than the RPs.....who got hurt. Think more Matt Garza, or look at what other teams do with college seniors.
