    I'm big on the self fulfilling prophecy part, been saying that since this site opened. If you don't try to get a lot better, you won't.
  2. Mike Sixel
    well, they also just traded Garcia, and people are probably factoring that in. Or, "excited" is the wrong word, but are less so now.

    100%

    they ate payroll in the arbitrage deal for and then sending away Garcia. This isn't about money at all, imo. And dumping Kintzler doesn't save much money. I just don't see it that way at all.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I share this opinion, but once they didn't do that, I think trading Kintzler at this point makes sense.... If they don't add at least one SP and 2 RPs this off season, I will be disappoint.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Oakland wanted near ready CF, and are likely moving the SS to the OF. The Twins don't have that, other than Buxton..... No way I deal Romero, Thorpe, Badoo for 2 months of Darvish. Zero.
  8. Mike Sixel
    facts are pesky, and I've already admitted to being wrong......and I missed that one.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I just wanted them to go one or the other, John. I would have loved to have gotten Gray somehow, and another RP, but that was never in the cards, I don't think. I think they got some lottery tickets, which seems like a reasonable return, but yes, none of these guys are TOP prospects.
  10. Mike Sixel
    There can't be many top international guys left, frankly. Unless they are going into Japan....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I forgot about the Brewers. I retract my statement.
  12. Mike Sixel
    My thoughts are here: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/26988-kintzler-to-nationals-in-exchange-for-tyler-watson/ the addition of international money is great.
  13. Mike Sixel
    CLE didn't add anything, and ya, I realize KC did, but it won't matter. but fair.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Or, they squeezed in Kintzler right at the deadline, and I am not as disappointed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Other than the Cubs, the middle of hte country waved the white flag, I guess.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Well, I was hoping this FO would either go for it (more than 1 player coming in), or trade off players, weeks ago. They didn't really do either, apparently. Put me in the slightly disappointed camp they didn't succeed at doing one or the other.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That was so far from being something to worry about then. I don't blame the FO one bit for that.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Yanks got international money in two trades. Otani might come to the US during this Intl signing period. sigh.
  19. Mike Sixel
    on Fangraphs, it was 4, 6, and 7 on their list.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    well, they weren't going to trade again with the Yankees, so maybe not
  21. Mike Sixel
    if they recover from injury, that's a nice trade for the A's. For the Yankees, it's a nice, but not cheap, trade.
  22. Mike Sixel
    they might have a farm system worse than you do. you personally.
  23. Mike Sixel
    For how long? He is 26. At some point, he's either going to be a good catcher, or not. Has anyone from the team or outside scouting talked about/written him up lately? I can't recall seeing anything lately.
  24. Mike Sixel
    John 1:30 Nationals in the mix for Kintzler, you think they end up with one of the better playoff bullpens? Dave Cameron 1:30 Well I wouldn't really want to trust Kintzler inducing groundballs to Daniel Murphy in October, but that's just me. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-trade-deadline-day-chat/

    3 million a year for an above average RP who has never been a FA? More like 10MM a year, I'd guess, maybe as low as 7MM a year for three years...
