    I have no idea how anyone hits some of these pitches.

    It's not a question of can they, but will they. I'm guessing one medium sized trade.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Dang, he hit that one hard too.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I don't know about firing him right away, but just don't lie about stuff people actually witnessed.... As a starter. Lying just makes it more clear you don't care about reporters as human beings.... Probably about anyone but your teammates, apparently
  6. Mike Sixel
    Holy crap that was hit far
  7. Mike Sixel
    the Astros have a habit of not doing well with the media....and their initial statement that the report was fake news was a deplorable lie.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I thought you had posted that they should trade from their surplus (not elite) prospects for a SP (not one year, that part is different).....so maybe I confused you with someone else. Kind of hard to keep it all straight.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree. He looks like he could be an elite CF....... I have no idea what his future is. None.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Yup, I get that. I'm willing to risk Kiriloff or Rooker or someone cheap not being good right away. I'm willing to take that chance, to save money. I won't disagree if they bring him back, unless they somehow don't spend money on good pitching after that....

    To the poster that said fans don't care if this is true about their own team, that's just not true of all fans, thank you very much. Have a great day!
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not for me. This team has a budget, and they need three starting pitchers, a backup catcher, and probably an outside relief pitcher. I'd rather see what a minor leaguer, or cheap flyer, can do and use that money on pitching. Lots of pitching.
  13. Mike Sixel
    You also pointed out how bad the Samardzija trade was, even though it is exactly the kind of trade you think they should make, so I'm not really sure what you think. Forgive Van and I if we are confused at this point.
  14. Mike Sixel
    good luck in your recovery* *CJ, not Seth. Though I doubt Mr. Cron reads here much....
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's not their first bad decision. I hope to never to for a team that makes these kinds of decisions.
  16. Mike Sixel
    So you think he's not good because of a twelve at bat stretch, but you think he's a valuable trade commodity?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Or we can just discuss who has more trade value for fun.... But an outfielder will be traded this off season. Either one of their MLB players, or a minute league player, I'd bet.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Rooting against Houston.....so, um, go Nats!
  19. Mike Sixel
    Buxton's high upside, and less years of control vs Kepler's health and team friendly contract? Wow, that's a tough one! I think Buxton, but only for 1 more year. Then Kepler's contract and years of control take over.
  20. Mike Sixel
    We can play the game all day where we point out bad decisions.....but there are certainly good trades also. I'm pretty sure Houston is happy with their deals.....I'm pretty sure KC is happy they won the WS after being aggressive (even if those trades didn't work like anyone thought they would). In one post you say the Twins should make trades and sign free agents, given where they are now, and then you post this. It's really hard to figure out what you actually want them to do. It's clear you don't want them to trade their best prospects, but I'm not sure your example is that. Your example is trading a few well regarded, but not the best, prospects, and it not working. So, I'm not sure what you are proposing. Simien was the Sox's 6th rated prospect, not some star prospect......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Ah, yes, there are many examples of teams trying to buy a good team failing, just as you can look at the Pirates, Reds, and many other teams that have spent decade(s) trying to only build from within and failing. It's not the strategy, it's the execution of the strategy, imo. Teams can be built many ways, but it's player development, scouting, luck, and a willingness to be aggressive when you are a real contender, that seem to be the keys to getting to the playoffs and winning.

    Need to try a random faster player on the inside on third and long. Their inside guys are doing nothing to get pressure this year. This was a predictable issue, but given their other, larger, holes, one they had to hope on, rather than put big investments in.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The Padres added a long term asset, not a one or even three year asset. No one expected them to be good this year.... But next year or the year after?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Or they could just increase pay, and still make tens of millions in profit every year.. ....
  25. Mike Sixel
    The Twins need three starters. They have a low payroll, and Cruz comes off next year..... Are people suggesting they not spend money on pitching? Or just arguing? For those who keep saying the twins should develop pitching, I agree. But there aren't six guys ready, there might be one or two. So where should they get the other three? Instead of always saying what won't work, what do you propose will, for this year, not some distant future?
