    My top preference is the twins win it all, followed by losing the WS, followed by losing the AL championship, followed by a sell off. I remain hopeful one of those will happen....
  2. Mike Sixel
    So it was ok when the twins had their big three bullpen arms and pulled starters before the selloff?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Correct.
  4. Mike Sixel
    4-5 years? That's a serious strawman. Like, zero people are saying sitting like that. 28 and beyond should be the goal. At this point, that's not even a year and a half.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Ryan isn't signing for less than 5 years right now....you want to pay a pitcher in his mid 30s 30 million a year? And, the GM can likely work on more than 1 thing at a time.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but the playoffs are harder now....you have another round. I do agree, they have 2 good to very good starters....but they don't have enough else, imo.
  7. Mike Sixel
    nah, that wasn't the best article. I'll look again.... but, basically, control is the ability to throw strikes in the zone. Command is the ability to throw a pitch WHERE you want to throw it.
  8. Mike Sixel
    What do you think the hit rate is? There are 5-8 MLB players there, plus a guy that was injured.....though I agree, there could be more decisiveness by this organization.

    mike sixel 3:24 Are we down on Tait as a catcher (or even hitter) compared to last year at this time? I think he's just too young to be really down on. thanks, Brendan Gawlowski 3:24 Holding steady for me, toolsy and high variance low minors catcher.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Fair. If I'm dealing for player, he has to have 3+ years of control, though. It's why I don't hate the SS deal....not sure I do it, but it isn't an awful idea.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I don't think he sells w/o permission, but he might not have a job either way?
  12. Mike Sixel
    He had previously given up 5 twice.....(IIRC)....
  13. Mike Sixel
    mike sixel 2:53 Do the Twins, or other teams, keep Jenkins down all year, so he's not in the 40 man of there's a stoppage? Or because, in this case, he might win rookie of the year in their mind? Brendan Gawlowski 2:53 I suspect he'll be up soon
  14. Mike Sixel
    What are trying to imply here? That he doesn't want to be traded? Wut? Of that he threw the game? Wut?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but this is clearly not one of the best run teams......or they wouldn't have rightsized after winning the playoff series, and then cut payroll again and again (by a lot). I too would prefer they buy, but when the time is right, and, IMO, this year is not that year. Next year could be....if they invest in the team in the off season. I'm not holding my breath on that with this ownership group, but the new CBA could change everything.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'd sign him to age 33 if he'll do it. Roll the dice.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Btw, I'm a huge fan of the OP..... Just not this set of ideas.
  18. Mike Sixel
    All fair. It's the other two trades I really didn't like Why are people trading for a first baseman? Lewis is league average there since moving over.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's interesting he's played no corner OF, given Buxton isn't going anywhere soon. You may have hit on a clue.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Not sure what they'd even have to sell, other than Lewis and Lopez? Everyone else is meh, youngish, or Buxton. But I'm sympathetic to not dealing Ryan if they aren't blown away, and won't crity them for keeping him through this year. After the year? Depends on if they invest in the team.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It depletes the depth, for what? They have no realistic chance this year. Could it happen? Sure. Should they bet it will happen? No imo. Why are the Orioles making this trade? They have the same record as Minnesota.
  22. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, ESPN is making a huge mistake getting rid of actual reporters.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Pretty much this.
  24. Mike Sixel
    He's trading for 1.5 years of a starting pitcher and first baseman when this team is not so that good. That's short sighted and bad strategy. There was nothing personal in that post, it was clearly about the content, not the person. Look, this team isn't close to great. It should be building for 28 and beyond, not this year or likely next year. Not if the goal is championships. Are we sure Henderson will be better than the internal options when the current prospects are in their prime? This post completely gives up on the future, for the next 1.5 years. I didn't see anyway that's a good idea.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Thankfully you aren't the GM yikes.
