    I still have no idea what the show was about....but great show.
  2. Mike Sixel
    thanks for the update!

    Where would you buy those aces? There are no pitchers even as good as ESan available next year. None. I'd be surprise if more than 1-2 were better than Gibson or Santiago.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but I'm not arguing for one. I think the OF is "set". I think 1B is set (either Sano or Park or Vargas) as is DH. 3B might be if Sano can do it. I think there are bullpen pieces to keep. I think Berrios is part of the long term rotation. I think there is a AA pitcher or two that are close..... But, I don't think Dozier or ESan are part of that future. They are part of the present/past, imo.

    Which is why they never went into rebuild mode, which is part of why they are this bad now...IMO.

    I doubt this is with much analysis..... mike sixel 1:26 A: thanks for the beergraphs article on hops. B: dangit.....which trades return more prospect value, mid-season or winter? Eno Sarris 1:27 mid-season because the other team knows they are in it.

    if they had been thinking 2 years out...Perkins would have been traded. I disagree, completely. As far as I can tell, they weren't thinking 2 years out at all this year, they signed a 29 YO DH...... Nothing about this rebuild looks like a rebuild....

    Can't believe I forgot Baxendale!

    the olney podcast with KLAW yesterday or today supposedly contains much Twins FO talk... though I have not listened to it yet.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Right, they could go well, I just wouldn't bet any money they do go well right away. This pitching is really, really, really bad. I do think Berrios is a lot closer to league average next year than worst pitcher ever.....that will help.
  11. Mike Sixel
    do you actually think Levi thinks that?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I think we disagree on next year mattering much.....I have zero expectation they are good next year. So, not replacing Santana with an equal player next year? Don't care. I care if that player(s) is better in 18 and beyond.
  13. Mike Sixel
    From what I read online.....winter trades return more than summer trades, but maybe that's not right.... I agree with the watcher of birds....things look bleak for at least the first half of next year. Maybe longer.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Wow, this is a tough one....... Locks for me: Chargois Rogers Older guys I'd keep around, probably, though with short leashes: Kintzler Pressley Guys I think should move up from the minors and be semi locks: Hildenberger Reed I'd consider having Wimmers be the long guy, but frankly, not sure why that isn't Milone's job....
  15. Mike Sixel
    there is no realistic path from here to a playoff spot, I guess, imo, we are now arguing semantics. Is a playoff path realistic at all, in your opinion? say, even 25%?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Any roster that doesn't have Berrios in the rotation on day one, I don't get. What is he learning in AAA at this point? They let Viola sink, then swim....
  17. Mike Sixel
    No one said impossible....but how should you PLAN......that's the question. Seriously good straw man though.
  18. Mike Sixel
    only if you assume they don't get better. I think this is a pretty weak argument.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They are losing 85-90 games, does it really matter? Isn't 2018 and beyond more important?
  20. Mike Sixel
    There are no FA pitchers available, you can erase that. no one is trading a MLB starter for Dozier, not that has more than 1-2 years left on his "goodness".
  21. Mike Sixel
    Easier than finding SPs, yes. I do. though, yes, I am skeptical....very skeptical. I see no path to enough SPs next year, hence I would try something completely different and see if it works. But only if I was a new GM, because any GM at risk of losing her job could never try something this off the wall.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, I did lay this out once, I'll see if I can find it. You need less pitchers than you'd think, and mediocre RPs going thru a lineup one time are A LOT more effective than bad SPs doing it three times.... I also think I had 3 "real" starters in that document. If I find it, or not, I may post it as a new thread. I see no good path to 5 good SPs in MN next year, let alone the 7 you need to make thru the year (heck, not sure I see a good path to 3 or 4).
  23. Mike Sixel
    why? Teams send players to AAA all the time. If you have terrible starters, you should be open to trying something else. I predict that eventually a team will do this....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I have previously suggested something similar, for real. 1. Santana starts 2. Berrios starts 3-5.....start guys for 1-2 times thru the rotation, then bring in the next guys, then the next guys. Rotate people up and down from AAA every few weeks. Duffey for 9-18 hitters, then May, then regular bullpen. These guys would go every 3-4 days, and you'd need about 8 of them. That's why you'd need to rotate thru AAA.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Short sighted? I'd say long sighted. They aren't winning next year, why keep him around, if they can get a much younger player that MIGHT be good?
