    How would you fix the pitching staff, without having Donaldson's money to pay for a real upgrade? Players sign for money....they'll sign here if the Twins offer the most money. Which they likely won't.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Apparently Happ should have been done first, but I just finished dinner..... recommend chateau steak reverse seared for sure....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Smoking a chateau steak.... Never even heard of that cut. I wonder which will be done first, Happ, or dinner.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Because Rogers isn't good at it. No idea why. He just isn't.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Berrios or Rogers I'd guess...
  6. Mike Sixel
    No more or less than we can other team's pitchers, most of which posters here seem sure are cheating......I don't think we know either way.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Good point. I just don't see Donaldson as the difference maker a pitcher they can sign with his (and Cruz's and Pineda's) money would be. Or, a starter and a bullpen arm or two. Or whatever. But I get we can reasonably disagree on how far off they look (right now) for next year......I just don't see a realistic path to next year....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Just to be clear......if Winder and/or others come up and show something....that's great. I've said all along this is the year that I will start judging their development practices. But if they haven't done anything by the end of year 5....ugh. So, ya, still early to say one way or the other, but so far, not good.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I really hope they don't take a 19 year old HS player who only plays a corner position.
  10. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't the point.....if you aren't going to compete next year (which is what the post I responded to basically said)....why would you keep JD around?
  11. Mike Sixel
    not sure where else to put this, but I asked Steve Adams (Twins' fan and MLBTraderumors guy) what they should do with Sano ......
  12. Mike Sixel
    How many good starting pitchers can they actually sign next year? Maybe 1. To be clear, you think they can trade one year veterans for starting pitchers that will be ready day 1 next year? I have my doubts, but I'd love that!
  13. Mike Sixel
    Right..... I get it. The farm was BARREN of pitching prospects....but that doesn't mean this FO should have Ober and ??? to show for their time here. That's it, right? Of the MLB pitchers, they have maybe 1 guy anyone trusts? Alcala? Jax? Dobnak? Who have they brought up from the minors anyone really believes with any certainty is a MLB pitcher, let alone starting pitcher?
  14. Mike Sixel
    What is the path to 2022 being competitive, even with Berrios? That's 1 starting pitcher you can count on. They might be able to sign one good SP in free agency.....so that's 2. Pineda is gone. Maeda? I don't trust him.
  15. Mike Sixel
    He can't pitch back to back days .... When would you have put him in, and not been able to use him the next day?
  16. Mike Sixel
    And yet other teams are debuting good pitchers this year.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    If you trade those others, why keep JD? Also, the real value of trading him is freeing up payroll....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Must be a Portland thing....though I can't give up the Vikings, only watch soccer on over the air tv, and do watch some golf (with the sound off).
  19. Mike Sixel
    Yes.....if they can't find a taker for him, they failed that part of their job. I get it takes two to dance, but come on....also, Pineda (if he's healthy).
  20. Mike Sixel
    That's my theory.....especially if Cruz is dealt (if he's not, the FO failed).
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone takes him for free right now. You'd 100% have to eat almost all of the deal to get someone to take him, and at that point, why? I literally believe you could pay, say, 80% of his deal, and get nothing in return for him.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Could you imagine typing that sentence even a year ago? Unreal fall.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I asked before....but if they did make him available for free....just take his contract...would any team do that? Should they just cut him? I think not, this season is lost, and it isn't like there isn't a position for him when Cruz is traded.
  24. Mike Sixel
    A man can dream..... Would any team pick him up and take on his contract if the Twins made that possible?
  25. Mike Sixel
    You're just afraid to answer the question, sir.
