    agreed.

    KLAW has an insider article on this today. I gave up insider (or whatever it is now called) when I got laid off. On Facebook, I commented to KLAW that I had my doubts that owners would help the remaining minor league players, given their previous actions..... Mike Sixel I'm no longer a subscriber, apologies, but when I got laid off it was one of my cuts.... So if you covered this...Why would anyone think the owners would do right by remaining players? There is zero evidence of that in past actions. Keith Law Keith Law I spoke to multiple sources for this story and that came up multiple times as one of MLB's goals. KLAW also offered me good luck in the job search.....

    Lewis' draft position is a sunk cost. He should play where he adds the most value to the MLB team. That might be third, it might not, but his draft position is irrelevant to the discussion at this point. I doubt he hits enough next year to be a consideration, and he certainly isn't to start the year......

    Great win. Still not a Super Bowl team, but great win
  5. Mike Sixel
    So much for elite defense....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yup. I was overly brief in my response to a post.... Lewis will be lucky to be in Minnesota at all next year.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    That post had nothing to do with next year.... It was about Lewis ever playing third.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Even if he's the best option?

    MLB asked the minor leagues to help with the awful legislation that was recently passed, saying if they didn't, the number of teams would need to be reduced. Shockingly, they ate their cake and now want to eat it again.... Ok, not shocking at all.
  10. Mike Sixel
    For a free agent or three, yes. For many of them? No. Cruz is gone after this coming year, freeing up a lot of money then. There will always be movement of expensive players....

    I'm wondering about pork......is it really better to smoke than to just use a slow cooker or pressure cooker? It's not like you get a TON of smoke into all the meat.....when you do a 5-8 pound shoulder/butt.

    Greinke cost Houston their 3, 4, and 5th rated prospects....so, maybe it would be the Twins 7-9th? We haven't seen that either..... Of course, 3-5 has more value to Houston than 7-9 for MN...because MN has more highly rated prospects right now.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Twins also did not beat the price for Stroman, even though it was two not highly rated players (though both were likely under rated due to their short time in the minors so far).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Look at Zac Gallen, for example.....he cost the 59th (give or take) rated prospect....a price many here were glad MN did not pay. He's a legit 3, maybe 2, with years of control left, and people would rather have a prospect (who would have 1-2 more years of playing time......).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention at the start of the year, bringing in a number five starter instead of someone else. This mess is their own making.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm not missing the point... I'm saying it isn't always that easy.... Also, I'm saying we are still waiting for them to even trade three good prospects for one player, let alone do it multiple times.... And have it work every time.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Based on? And why bother reading then?
  18. Mike Sixel
    But they did it. They traded multiple prospects at the deadline for Verlander, and multiple for Cole. And for Pressley. And others. The twins did not really go for it this break. Hopefully that changes now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    My top four, in no order.... Kepler, Cruz, Berrios, Garver.... Though I might vote for Odorrizi with more thought
  20. Mike Sixel
    Of course, Houston just graduated future star Alvarez. But I don't get the point. Isn't it easier to draft if you aren't that good, so shouldn't the twins have more top prospects? Aren't they in a position to trade for prospects going into this last year, not trade from prospects? If they didn't have a lot more that would be bad. If they emulate Houston, they will trade at least eight of those players in the next two years.... So, about the same number....

    It could be worse, we could have Flacco.. ..
  22. Mike Sixel
    He'd be my second or third acquisition.... Not the headliner.
  23. Mike Sixel
    He's moved three or four times now, and the twins have not acquired him yet. Sigh......

    I've now smoked three things. Pig butt....silky soft meat. Not much smoke. I'll do it on a lower temp next time. Awesome meat though. Chicken thighs and the biggest breasts ever. Smoke flavor, but I'm not certain it's worth the time and effort yet.... Just did burgers. Great smoke, and nice soft meat. I'll do this again for sure .... But I need a plan for finishing them, as my smoker did not want to get hot enough to sear them. I put them on a fajita pan on the stove, then back on the traeger to melt the cheese....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm just glad there were 4 legit candidates.....
