    Why is Happ on this roster still? I know Rocco isn't perfect, but this is on the FO. 100%. The pitching decisions this year were AWFUL. If they had added 1 good SP and not been wrong on EVERY RP decision, this team might be ok.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They lost because they gave up a grand slam in the 9th......they lost because the bullpen is terrible.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Just cut Happ already. Seriously.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Can't believe the A's sent that much for a rental (sure, he's been awful this year, but still).....
  5. Mike Sixel
    They've traded for A LOT of guys the last two years, and I don't think they've given up one guy in their top 10 list......but yes, it is possible they would deal him.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I can't see them dealing either of those players....but if you threw in Rortverdt, you might be able to get Campusano as part of a deal. Gore? LOVED him his draft year, but he has the yips for sure. Not certain he's fixable at this point.....it has been 2-3 years now.
  7. Mike Sixel
    We are in agreement on that last paragraph for sure. I'd rather they get better prospects than more prospects. And yes, SS is my top priority unless they get a SP that looks like he'll be great. Again, aim for Seattle's system....and aim high.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Those players will be on the roster next year.....that's the point.
  9. Mike Sixel
    You can probably guess my opinion......plus, they'll be adding a few pitchers from the minors that aren't on the 40 man (hopefully) next year..... I think the key is that they are much more likely to deal for guys in low A at this point, unless they include some prospects of their own in deals (which is what I'd do).
  10. Mike Sixel
    Not really sure where to put this....but here is an article on 40 man crunches, and the Twins are listed..... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/40-man-crunch-situations-american-league/

    Truly amazing after the success of the last two years. Everything was wrong. And in huge ways. If they only move Cruz, it will be another failure.
  12. Mike Sixel
    They did deal for a starter yesterday....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not necessarily. Their GM is a trader.
  14. Mike Sixel
    No chance I trade with them without getting a higher ranked guy than you propose. Pineda and Arraez or Berrios for top prospects. This is the system to go after.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Want to change the culture? Actually fn change the culture. Awful decision.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Neither is signing for that. Not even close.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Burrows up. Will this front office ever develop a pitcher? Seriously. Ugh.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm hoping that happens....and I agree, the next CBA could make some owners question signing guys to big deals this off season. Though some teams will forge ahead, and a FA only needs 1 to pay/play. I think the minor league stuff is not something you and I will agree on, so I'll leave it at that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Bummer. I hate when people get hurt. Good luck to him!
  20. Mike Sixel
    We've been predicting changes in revenue for years, yet it keeps going up. And teams keep selling for record numbers, so owners must think it won't be going down soon. I do agree with your other points.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Good points! If teams traded prospect for prospect more, I think we'd have seen something happen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed for sure......
  23. Mike Sixel
    That deal was genius for the team. It kept their present value costs very low, and they might not have been able to sign the guys they did had they signed him to a traditional deal. I've read several long posts about how great it really was.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is hitting better than the average MLB hitter this year, when you factor in power and walks and hits.......I don't think people realize how far BAs have dropped this year.....Like, you really need to look at more than BA.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Even with Buxton, that would be an awful defensive OF. Awful. I do agree on Polanco/Arraez, though.
