    I have no idea what that has to do with Tatis Jr?
  2. Mike Sixel
    62% likely a team scores at least one run in that situation....ugh.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's some aggressive rankings for the number of top 100 prospects. Very. Overall though, the tiers make a ton of sense.

    Lynn didn't want to be here....what should they have done? He was also on a one year deal. At the time, did ANYONE want to keep Gibson for the cost they'd have to pay? How good was Gibson between now and then? Pressley was dealt.....I was on the fence on that one for sure. Hendriks? Did anyone see him becoming the highest paid FA RP in a class? I get it, the FO hasn't been great at long term pitching acquisition and development, but it is hard to blame them on any of these other than Pressley, imo.

    Tatis wasn't this highly thought of when dealt. Had he been, he wouldn't have been dealt. The key is to pick the right players, regardless of how everyone else feels about them. As for the game......Rodon is pitching great this year. But you still have to score more than 1 run...... As for trading Berrios, I don't think anyone WANTS to trade him. Some of us think the Twins won't/can't sign him after next year, and it is better to get something for him other than a comp. pick (yes, I know he was one, but it's a rare comp pick that turns out this great). Personally, I'd like them to sign both Buxton and Berrios. I just don't see it as likely at all.

    Harbor? Maybe should be tolerate? Broker?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Certainly a promising list for a team that won't pay for top pitching. I only know what I read, but Duran reads like a RP and Winder like Berrios, so I don't understand the rankings.... But that's nitpicking. Let's hope at least half work out!
  8. Mike Sixel
    I will harbor no excuses. It is their job to make this franchise better. If they don't deal a couple guys, they will have failed.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm a rush prospects guy. . ... But Celestino needs to be in St Paul or lower. Back to cooking.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Disappointing.
  11. Mike Sixel
    If they had a bigger impact, they'd be paid A LOT more. A 5 WAR player is worth twenty five million.......If there is a manager that is worth 5 more wins than the next manager, they'd be paid A LOT more.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Ha, no way he's traded in the next 5-14 days (whenever his next start would be), but that is an awesome take, so I give you two thumbs up for bravery.
  13. Mike Sixel
    He's not paid to "do fine"....though. that's one of the issues for this team.
  14. Mike Sixel
    In looking at Kepler's numbers.....he's an above average player this year.....so I guess I don't understand the angst. Especially for the cost. He'll probably end up with 2.3-2.5 fWAR, hit about 10-15% better than league average, and run fairly well. If they played him in CF (instead of Celestino) he'd be about average in CF ....bumping his WAR up even more. I think worrying about Kepler is much ado about nothing.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'd say right now they may have an OK bullpen next year, but not good or better. That said, there is hope in AAA so we'll know a lot more by the end of the year than we do now. I don't think Thorpe, Jax, or Dobnak are part of a great bullpen......There are some nice stories there, but I don't think they have the stuff (right now) to be good to great. Ok? Yes.
  16. Mike Sixel
    FWIW.........Fangraphs' new mock is up....they have the Twins taking 2 catchers.....2 more guys that can't play SS, CF, or pitch, in round 1 and 1+.
  17. Mike Sixel
    there is a 0% chance the FO signed Donaldson to prove they weren't cheap. They signed him because they believed in this core and their ability to find pitching.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Add me to the list of Winder is way too low (or, he's not actually a legit SP prospect that people think is a number 3 or better)....and an older player who can't hit A ball is way too high (another bat first corner player in round 1, ugh).
  19. Mike Sixel
    We who? Do we think any players really care what is said on this message board? I don't. I find his antics entertaining, so it 100% isn't about that for me..... I'd trade him to free up money to hopefully keep Buxton and/ or sign a pitcher or SS. They don't have a SS next year at all, and I think they can cobble together 3B easier than SS.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure Rortvedt is ready for this.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    The right solution is to kill college sports, like every other nation.......but that's not happening.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm pretty sure the nail was in the coffin before. Now? Now it is in the ground....I really did NOT see this coming, but it is reality now. Alas.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Risk....while the others have higher upside, Ober is in the majors and doing back-end stuff already. The others aren't close the majors (and injured)........rankings are about risk and reward, not just reward.
  24. Mike Sixel
    It is amazing that BOTH Kepler and Sano are not hitting well....... What to do this year? Keep sending them out and hope they find their groove again. There isn't much other option, imo.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Dobnak and Thorpe don't have stuff.....it isn't their struggles, it is their stuff. They are likely great AAAA pitchers. It is possible they are more, but neither has the stuff of a good MLB pitcher. I'm hoping Winder and whomever else is healthy gets 8-10 starts in the majors this year, so they are more likely to be ready next year.
