    Robert Smith. People even said his chicken pox were proof he was injury prone. Then he went on to be awesome....
  2. Mike Sixel
    That's a big year difference......and, it seems clear Celestino isn't ready yet. Given what Sano did today, I'd put Gordon at 3rd when Donaldson isn't playing, I guess......
  3. Mike Sixel
    The Twins have years to decide on Celestino.....Gordon should be playing nearly every day, so they can make decisions on him with actual data.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I don't know how I want to answer that. Part of me .... "stuff happens"......part of me .... "some kind of limit for a pitcher". But I have NO IDEA what that might look like.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I get this. Kepler and Gordon can play center. They need to figure out if Gordon is worth keeping around......
  6. Mike Sixel
    Accidents happen. No way someone should be ejected for an accident.
  7. Mike Sixel
    We can only hope they have so much talent they lose a good player...
  8. Mike Sixel
    Get your tests people! It is a lot better to get treated early than late....A LOT. And, go Twins.

    Was really hoping one of the top starting pitching prospects would force his way to MN this year, so he'd be ready to be contributing in the majors this year. Not looking so promising right now..... That said, some of the hitters are 100% forcing the issue! Which is great.

    Because it isn't a normal business. Amazon would make more money if they drove everyone else out of business. If there are no other baseball teams, or they are like the globetrotters, no one will watch. I'm not sure why that is hard to understand. They need competitors. I mean, if only the Yankees show up at the stadium, who do they play? As for players sharing money....that's apples and screw drivers (i.e., more absurd than apples and oranges). Again, it would be great if we could disagree respectfully.

    I'm hoping they give the players freedom earlier, and to help lower revenue teams do at least two things: increase revenue sharing. TV and non-attendance items are more important for revenue.....and that requires more good teams. Give some kind of advantage to lower revenue / bad teams in acquiring amateur talent. Like, an extra pick in round 1, or something. The faster a team can acquire talent, the less losing a player costs them.

    If no other team wants him....that says a lot, imo. Every other backup seems to have a more well-rounded set of skills. But, not every team is flush with guys like this.....so he should have value.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Fair......I'd say 2B, but I'd prefer him at DH or as a serious backup, not starter. Defense matters, as does power.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather you shop locally....but if you are short on cash and want to try some top rated board games, Prime Day deals look very good. Very good.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Of course, he was there when they drafted the next set of corner OF / 1B......but sure, the "they can deal them for pitching" crowd sure is quiet right now.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I guess if he's part of a package, the acquiring team can decide. I don't really see how that's the Twins' issue. To me, he's redundant, and teams should deal redundant players for positions of need. If no team sees him as valuable, that's a piece of information for the FO.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Best position? Part of a trade for pitching.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They traded a backup outfielder, which they have plenty of..... To try to get pitching. I don't see the problem with the process. Once again, though, they were wrong about the pitcher. That's concerning. The anti "computer guy" stuff is old and tedious. Every team but Arizona and Colorado is run this way. Like every other huge business on the planet. I don't understand why that's so hard to realize.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not sure I will root for them this year. Really haven't decided yet.
  20. Mike Sixel
    You said pay him what he wants. I'm asking if that is really true.... I think it is pretty clear he wants more than the Twins want to pay, or he'd be signed.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If no one on the farm is ready next year, they aren't winning anything next year. If he won't sign for a number the twins want, why not trade him?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. No doubt in my mind.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What if it is 25 per year, six years?
  24. Mike Sixel
    If you keep using your first round picks on bat first corner players..... You need to be willing to trade some at some point.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I hope they told him ahead of time he was coming out after 4......set expectations with your employees. Always. I have no idea if that was good or bad, but I doubt it has any long term effect either way.
