    Which is why I argue to call them up earlier, as you know....

    Jacque Jones 4:03 What are your thoughts on Nick Gordon after some time in the minors, compared to at draft time, etc? Should Twins fans be excited? Keith Law 4:03 Yes. He's a damn good player. He'll produce, and he'll be one of those players you want to argue is worth even more than the stats say.

    True. I just think people keep forgetting he isn't young, and it can't go forever. I'm not saying I'd deal him for anyone, and I don't think I trade him off if they are still in first, but the future goes past 2018/9....

    We don't agree on ESan, he's in his mid 30s.....it will fall off.
  5. Mike Sixel
    thanks, I must have missed that. Appreciated.
  6. Mike Sixel
    And Santana will be older. Agreed, figure out what you might have.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Listing anecdotes w/o looking at other teams does what? Clearly limiting pitch counts for RPs doesn't work, since the Twins have lots of injured minor league RPs......
  8. Mike Sixel
    this made me laugh! thank you.
  9. Mike Sixel
    do they? I mean, I literally have no idea what injury rates are by team, compared to other teams.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree, that's his most likely outcome, but I'd certainly be willing to see if he can start for now.
  11. Mike Sixel
    didn't you just agree with me, in the post above this? Maybe A LOT was an exaggeration....maybe.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Other than, you know, the Cardinals do it A LOT, sure.
  13. Mike Sixel
    From whom? When? All I read is that scouts think he can stay there, not be elite, but be good.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Deep, but lacking high upside. That's what we've been reading all year, and with the dropoff of RPs' health, it's even more true.
  15. Mike Sixel
    jinx
  16. Mike Sixel
    That would be a huge jump up the lists. I'm going with around 25 or so, which is still a HUGE jump.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Why? For me, I want the best one available to pitch when most needed, not when they need a "save". That, to me, is probably Duffey. Plus, I think he's more suited to go more than 3 outs... So, why do people want to switch them?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Long man? Those guys rarely play (well, maybe in MN they do). Keep him in AA until August, then bullpen in August and September, then rotation next year. That, imo, should be the plan.
  19. Mike Sixel
    That is not a sexy top 5, imo. Kiriloff hasn't played, and Diaz is a DH, maybe 1B. I do love Gordon, have since HS. And, one has to feel good about Gonsalves, but I'm not sure he's more than a 3 or 4. Unless they pick Pavin Smith, their first round pick this year will either be number 1 or 2 on this list the day he is picked. I'm hopeful that's Wright, and that they are aggressive with him.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I have no issue with moving Hughes to the bullpen. I'd have Romero in the bullpen after the break, or in August. It's what the Cardinals would do. Get him acclimated some this year, w/o blowing thru a ton of innings. Then make him a starter next year. Trading any prospect for 1 bullpen arm right now is, imo, stupid. They are not good enough to be giving up the future. If they want to go get a legit starter and 2 bullpen arms, go for it. But trading for any RP at this point seems like folly and a bad use of assets. I'd rather they start calling up 1-2 young guys at a time, give them legit shots, and see what happens. And, Kintzler is the perfect "closer". Not the best arm they have, but good enough to get "saves".
  21. Mike Sixel
    booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
  22. Mike Sixel
    Mid-July, after the draft.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ya, agreed.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'd be surprised if ANY team had guys ranked "low" that profiled as a 1 or 2.....if they profile that way, they would be ranked high!
  25. Mike Sixel
    hahahaha. good one.
