    Disagree....Kepler is what, 22? He should be playing every single day, to get better. I'd only platoon older players, frankly, like at 1B and DH and catcher for obvious reasons. But, imo, every young starter should play as much as possible. That's how you get better. I'd be good with more platoons in the future, but not now.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on the playing SS part. It's like there was no long, or even short term, plan for how Dozier and Polanco are on the same roster. I really don't get the planning at all, frankly.
  3. Mike Sixel
    either they don't agree with us that good RPs should be signed, or um, I have no idea what is going on, frankly.
  4. Mike Sixel
    No matter what, if he and Dozier are here, Polanco should play SS for half a year, to see what happens, imo. They aren't making the playoffs, if they can't manage to, you know, actually trade older players for younger players, they need to see what they have.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I read 4 star.....but still, either way, this class is about 100x better than it was. Hoping he can coach also....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Number 1 safety in the nation....from Alabama, coming to MN? Clearly, this guy can recruit.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Hughes had one great year and not much else... Why would we expect another year, unlike most of his career? I think relief is his future, possibly very good future
  8. Mike Sixel
    I like MSFT also. I have money in drgo and GM for safety and dividends also. Sold a lot of Nvidia today, at around 250℅ return to pay off some debt. Nice year. Still have a lot of that stock. Still love it.

    Trading a catcher for a relief pitcher we didn't need is like trading for a starting pitcher with six years of control left? The Santana trade would look a lot better had they kept Hardy....A lot
  10. Mike Sixel
    Do we know this to be true? And why is Sano being traded?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Is there any evidence making one bad trade leads to more bad trades. Does anyone have data on that, or do we just magically know it is true? And Dozier is a leader and will help with contention? Really? How did that leadership work out last year?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Hence "2nd or 3rd best" pitcher.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm pretty sure I see people saying they can compete, and that they should not give up on 2017.....I, otoh, have given up on 2017. Or does "don't give up on 2017" not mean people think they can be good. I've also said, repeatedly, I think they could be better with De Leon and no Dozier, than Dozier and no De Leon. I don't know that, but it could be true.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think the delta, for many of us, is that I think 2017 is lost, and some people think they can go from 59 wins to competing....I see no chance of that as realistic at all. I'd rather gamble on 2018 and beyond, than next year. That's the impasse between me and chief, for example.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Uh, most of them have Berrios as a mid rotation starter also, not sure what that line means.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    De Leon is, I'd wager, the Twins 2nd or 3rd best starter next year....pitching like a number three. I'd rather have a number 3 pitcher for 6 years, than 2 years of Dozier. I think he actually has a chance to make them better next year, given that Polanco is here and can play 2B (thought not hit like Dozier, obviously).
  17. Mike Sixel
    That last sentence doesn't make sense. Three unproven players don't make them "better enough" either. It isn't about being "better enough to compete", it is about being better over time. I don't get why people keep saying "getting 1 SP won't fix this team, so don't trade Dozier"......by that logic, you don't sign 1 FA ever either, you never make a trade if you are bad, you just stand still.....this isn't about fixing things with one trade, this is about starting to fix things. Every journey starts with one step, you don't not take that 1 step because it takes thousands to get where you are going. Unless I misunderstood your point, but people keep typing that, year after year "doing X won't fix everything, so don't do X". Well, if you keep passing on improving, you kind of never improve.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins asked for JDL and Bellinger, I say no if I'm the Dodgers. That's not realistic for 2 years of Dozier. 4 years? Sure, 2 years? No way.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I hope so, he can't get out RH batters at the MLB level, probably. Not facing them multiple times anyway. IMO, he should have been in the bullpen in 2015 at the MLB level. Not moving him sooner cost them a game or two that year, given the bullpen they had. Stubbornness on a guy that, imo, seems pretty obviously destined for the pen.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't my question....if they don't trade him, will you be ok with that if they remain bad?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Actually, I meant .... what if they never trade him, and he's here for 2 years while they win nothing?
  22. Mike Sixel
    And if they don't trade him, because they never get a "fair" deal, and pass on JDL, that's cool with you I assume? Still not sure if I'd take JDL and "junk" or not, I am no scout and don't have access to dozens of scouts.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    We have more information now than we did 3 months ago....no one is offering "enough" or "fair" value.....so, do we take less value, or take our ball and go home?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Putting it all aside, the fact they are at an impasse (if they are) and deal might not get done.....that makes me unhappy as a Twins' fan....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm hopeful they don't mess with Santiago again....and let him be effectively wild.
