    He didn't start baseball full time until 2+ years ago. I think any time before next year is too soon to make any type of "conclusion" on him, though I always felt this year would be a good indicator. He's 21+ and in AA and not being awful......I'm good with his progress at this point. Others may not be.

    I can't believe people leaving Stewart unprotected, for some of these other players.

    What's a land line* *we got rid of our's years ago.....we almost had to get one so my wife could fax from home (running a new business from there), but we decided if she needs to fax she can spend the big bucks at a store once a quarter....

    I would probably not protect Burdi. Hasn't stayed healthy, and is a RP..... I would not protect Dozier, and roll the die that Polanco can play 2B. ZERO percent chance I leave Stewart unprotected, especially for any RP.

    Or, they might take players they feel they can later trade, so that they have a better understanding of what they need......I think they'd take some high upside guys, but also guys they can trade in a year or two. Actually, if well done....you could build an A's like time, a team with few/no black holes, then buy the top FAs in a year or so (say, 3).....what could you do with that team, how fast?
  6. Mike Sixel
    My eyes, what have you done to my eyes!
  7. Mike Sixel
    I admit to liking Vielma's upside less than I should have in the past. Looking forward to his continued progress!
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure the money matters, if they don't carry over money from year to year......they won't be buying FAs next year, it is a terrible class. I do get both sides of the Santana argument, though.

    I don't see any chance Buxton is traded. I know it's not gold....but he was barely in the top 50 most valued assets on Fangraphs trading value chart, last year.....he's a year older, and has shown that, SO FAR, he can't hit MLB pitching. I think he's worth a lot less than his upside right now, and I just can't see how he could possibly be dealt for value. Who is going to give up multiple highly regarded prospects for him right now?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Rosario is not going back to 2B.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Should have put this here, not in the FG thread: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/brian-doziers-path-out-of-the-slump/

    Cash! yay, we got Cash!

    Not sure what thread this should go in: mike sixel 10:48 Thanks for the Breakside nachos recommendation a few months ago....yummy. Is Dozier part the future for the Twins, or should they deal him if they find a taker at an ok price? Jeff Sullivan 10:48 BREAKSIDE 10:49 The Twins need to make an honest evaluation of how far away they really are. You can squint and see the upside but to me it really does feel like they won't contend until 2018 at the earliest. At that point, Dozier's in his walk year and he's in his early 30s, so he's probably a trade candidate, as tough as that might be to swallow He feels like an offseason trade more than a midseason trade
  14. Mike Sixel
    Rosario hasn't been a 2B for a couple years, and no, he should not be one. He's an OF. Has been for years.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, Seth. This is the hardest of the choices (imo) they have in front of themselves right now. Partly that's on them, for not playing Polanco at all when he comes up, and not having much information. Mostly it's on that Dozier might be part of a good team in 2-3 years.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It is the roster age, year after year.....if it was about 1-4 players, it wouldn't be the same thing nearly every year. His past criticism is in putting college players in against 17-19 yo HS and South / Central American "kids", and not challenging them early, and then rushing them thru AA and AAA..... I have no idea what the "right" process is....but I think it is fair to question a team that is about to have it's 5th 90+ loss season in 6 years in terms of their process. YMMV, of course. However, I really feel I derailed this thread, and it should be about wishing these guys all good luck and great careers, so I'm done in this thread talking about the other issue. Sorry everyone.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Maybe people should think about it as a Plouffe for Sano trade........that should make it more palatable.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to all of them!
  19. Mike Sixel
    If it was case by case, it wouldn't be the same every year. And, if you think you know more than KLAW..... No. He has consistently criticized this approach of not challenging college players, specifically the twins approach.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'd do it for any of those players. I don't know the other teams would....but maybe.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Jeremy, thanks, your coverage has been awesome.
  22. Mike Sixel
    They why is it a trend every year, if it is about individuals and not process?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, then I guess I'm wrong.....I was mostly looking at Cabbage and Blakenthorn, who everyone raved about last year. I have no issue with a new draftee starting there, most of the time. I do see 3 or more college guys that were NOT drafted this year on the roster...... We can disagree on this all we want, but it is not a position I hold uniquely that the Twins start their players out at lower levels than other teams, and keep them at lower levels longer than other teams. KLAW holds that opinion about them, for example.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Once again....slow playing at the low levels, I don't get it. Why do they keep doing this?
  25. Mike Sixel
    To be clear.....I hated the Hardy deal. 100% hated it. And, trading Dozier would be different....but not totally. The main reason you'd deal Dozier right now is to give Polanco a shot.....because no one is going to give you a big return for him, imo.
