    I'd be happy with some homegrown RPs to start....even that has largely been absent. Especially with this FO. It is kind of hard to believe how few even good starters they have developed over the years. There have been exceptions, clearly, but not enough. Hoping that trend starts to change later this year with Winder and others getting their feet wet.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree with that. 100%. But a man can dream and hope.

    They aren't making the playoffs this year .... There is no reason to keep guys on expiring deals. You could get lucky in a trade, or get nothing.
  4. Mike Sixel
    What exactly do you think you'd get for any reliever not named Rogers? Donaldson for Bohm is interesting.... If they put that money they save next year to a legit SP or SS. Bohm is highly regarded.
  5. Mike Sixel
    6 innings a start? That's more than most starts this year.....across the entire league.

    Well written! Glad you are enjoying the games.

    Replying to @keithlaw For teams with no chance of signing a player I’ve always seen there is no harm with a late round pick. Is there ever a case where the risk of him not agreeing to be drafted again by the team (eg Rocker and Rox) where there can be harm? Or am I looking into this too much? Thx! keithlaw @keithlaw i agree with you, i'd take a guy like that in the 11th and 12th rounds every year

    I'd argue it would work for CLE if they put any money into hitting .... but their owner is not known for spending money lately.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Which is all I'm saying.....concentrate on preparing for next year, not on getting to 78 instead of 72 wins.....

    An update: @mbrooke_brooke Replying to @Kevin_Goldstein Kevin, on your 2nd point regarding pitchers. What would be the measuring tool. Just inning this yr vs last? Potential injury history. I would think orgs. would be looking to at least have an increase of innings to some degree. @Kevin_Goldstein 2020 was super weird, as was the off-season. So many players got out of routines and many believe that's why we've had so many injuries this year. Just shut them down, give them a normal off-season and start fresh next year. It's fine.

    The Angels selected all pitchers. Wow.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Fast reply! Lots of releases already happen, but more will happen after all these signings. Two notes: 1. Teams can have HUGE amounts of players at complex 2. With all the weirdness of 2020, expect a lot of pitchers to simply get shut down until 2022.

    I've asked a national writer on Twitter, we'll see if he replies....

    Taking injured guys, might allow them to put them on an injured list and not a roster? Meaning they have room for more players? How many guys do teams have room to add given the reduction in minor league teams?
  16. Mike Sixel
    No. No one is saying the players shouldn't try. No one. Not one person. We are actually very clear what we mean. Are you suggesting that the Twins deal every prospect in an effort to win every game they can this year, when you say they shouldn't "tank"? Of course not, and no one is saying you are.....just as we are not saying the players shouldn't try.
  17. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, I don't think they should bench every veteran (and they can't anyway). And I don't think they should call up guys that are not ready. No one is arguing that either. Indeed, I'd like Celestino and Rortverdt to be in the minors, because they are not ready.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The season should be used for developing Winder and other younger players so that next year is kick ass, that's how. Give Gordon a legit shot to show if he's finally living up to his draft spot. Give every chance to AK, Larnah, and Jeffers. Bring up some RPs from AAA. The point, imo, is not to play mediocre veterans with no future here, just to win an extra game or two. IF it was, I assume some would argue they Twins should deal prospects for veterans to eke out more wins this year, no?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Again, NO ONE is saying the players shouldn't try. Good straw man though.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I mean, I'm a pitching guy....but they probably could take a hitter or two at some point.....Where are they even going to find space for all these arms? (I'm guessing most will just be shut down for the year, frankly, outside some work at the minor league complex to see their stuff more closely)
  21. Mike Sixel
    No one is saying don't try. No one. There seems to be very little nuance in the world anymore.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Other than CF, they pretty much did the positions I asked for. Congrats to the first 10 picks, and good luck to them.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I really do think they'll be ok the rest of the year, not good, but ok.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure I said 2 games under the rest of the year....that's pretty specific.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Actually, it is MORE important to draft early in MLB, since there are so few elite talents. But I get your point..... If you want a detailed reader.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/an-update-on-how-to-value-draft-picks/
