    They better get this trade right......or I'm going to turn on them for sure.
  2. Mike Sixel
    2 veterans to mentor the young guys.....I'd prefer three veterans.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why not just sign a guy as good as Berrios, and one other guy? I mean, there will be free agents that good......
  4. Mike Sixel
    the list was too long to type......basically, keep, um, Rogers and Duffey and Thielbar and Alcala (I'd consider sending him down at this point).
  5. Mike Sixel
    Concur. Dodgers, TOR, SEA are the systems to go for for pitching. DO IT!
  6. Mike Sixel
    If there is really this much interest, we'll be waiting until tomorrow for either Berrios or Pineda to go, imo. They'll want to extract maximum value....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'll be disappointed if they deal both Maeda and Berrios. Very. I'll be most disappointed if they don't deal the expiring contract of Pineda.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think that's a fair stance, actually.....I don't agree, but I'm guessing there that they can't get that. I just think people don't realize how teams just don't deal top prospects anymore. Way too valuable.

    Great leak by the Twins' FO......let's hope everyone believes it. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2021-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&team=sdp
  10. Mike Sixel
    around 75 I'd guess. His defense is still a question for sure.
  11. Mike Sixel
    100% this. As I said in the preview thread for them, LA is loaded with guys in the 45-50 scouting grade range, the Twins should get 2 of those and another guy for Berrios. Teams just DON'T deal their best young players anymore.
  12. Mike Sixel
    that was in the post he quoted..... Nick Anderson is the biggest fail for me...... Every team passed on Miranda this year, right? Every single GM was wrong about him, it appears....
  13. Mike Sixel
    No idea....but here is what I'd do: DFA Happ. Keep Maeda and Ober in the rotation. Deal 3-4 prospects for John Means of the Orioles (more likely in the off season, really, but I'd like two veterans on the staff to teach the new guys.....). I think you can pull this off, and if you REALLY believe you will sign a legit 3-type in FA, you can give up the prospects. Bring up Barnes and Winder (or one of the guys they got for Cruz, if either is left after dealing for Means). Promote the B-named pitcher to AAA. Rotate 3-4 of the guys from teh minors thru the majors the rest of the year, to see who should be counted on to start next year. Sign Pineda or similar in the off season. For the bullpen, jettison anyone not good, and call up as many guys from the minors as you can......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Zero of BA's top 100 prospects have been traded so far.....teams hoard top guys. HOARD them. The world is a different place than it was.... I think the Twins get 1 top 100 guy and 2 guys in the next 50-100 for Berrios (from the Dodgers or Sea or Tor)
  15. Mike Sixel
    the Dodgers are LOADED with guys in the 45-50 scouting range. If I'm the Twins, I want 3 of those (2 pitchers and a SS or CF) for Berrios, or 2 for Pineda and a minor leaguer going back..... I can't see the Dodgers dealing any of their top 3-4 prospects..... For Berrios: Ryan Pepiot Jacob Amaya random guy in the 40 range who is a pitcher....
  16. Mike Sixel
    That would shock me. Teams just don't deal their top prospects anymore, let alone two of them. I'd 100% do that deal if I was the Twins, which makes me think it is even less likely to happen...... I wanted Gore in that draft, but he can't throw strikes right now, so he's probably not really #5 in that system at this point......he's the ultimate high risk / high reward guy.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think Sherzer is better....but Berrios is cheaper AND signed thru next year....that's a big delta for a team giving up good to great prospects (which teams seem very reticent to do anymore). But, if I'm going for it, I want Max more. If I'm more aiming for the next two years, I want Jose more.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I know teams don't trade top prospects anymore, but if you don't get Jeter Downs, I have no interest in sending Berrios to the Red Sox. None.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Right....lots of good luck in 2019, lots of bad luck in 2021 (that, and covid ruining pitcher development the previous year). Really, outside of naysayers, nearly every projection system and expert figured Happ and Shoemaker would be #4 types....and the bullpen would be ok (not good, ok).....the world is 100% different if either Happ or Shoemaker is a number 4 and Maeda and Pineda are healthy all year.....but, they weren't (I was a naysayer on signing BOTH of them, but with the lost 2020, it makes some sense). They 100% need to have 2+ good pitchers from the system next year, or I'll say they should be gone. NOT ONE good pitcher from the minors yet, not one.
  20. Mike Sixel
    120 wins or more? How often has that ever happened in MLB history? I don't know how anyone can complain about 101 wins.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I voted this year.....Every pitcher but Berrios was hurt, or MUCH worse than projected. That said, 2019 won't be repeated either (leading the world in HRs).
  22. Mike Sixel
    They drafted him .... seriously. Strike against them?
  23. Mike Sixel
    No way. He hasn't thrown a strike since 2019.......no chance. Zero.
  24. Mike Sixel
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's the system to go after!
