    Another look at it: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/twins-and-angels-swap-throwers-meyer-and-busenitz/
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. On both counts.
  3. Mike Sixel
    It was a great day for both of them.......for sure. I've been on the Max train (ha, in Portland the Max is the mass transit) since day one......

    We might not care about the money.....but the GM and owners do. I can't fault them for giving themselves the flexibility of getting out of some of that money if they want........ So, ya, a DFA might have been nice......and Meyer might surprise us all.....but was that likely here, in MN?
  5. Mike Sixel
    IMO, much better defense than Harper, and not as good on offense.......All of my opinions are based on reading about him, and looking at stats though...so who knows.
  6. Mike Sixel
    The Angels have the worst farm system in baseball.....they need all the flyers they can get. It cost them nothing, really.....since they aren't catching TX or Houston this year, and probably not next year.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think that is the plan, right now........but who knows?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Beast might be over statement.....but yes, I think Berrios' start was more important than 1 game from a guy most of us believe in, and who has shown MLB success.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Hey, we agree, they messed up in how they used Meyer.....but the question is, on August 1, what should they do with the players they have? Me? I think what they did do worked. I think Santiago pitches really well here, or is not on the roster next year, and Meija (sp?) is your 5th starter, or some flyer FA. And while that 9MM or whatever doesn't help us, if I'm the owner, I appreciate that 9MM.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I'd like May to be a SP.....so that's 1. I don't think any AA starter will be starting for the Twins in April of next year......or May of next year, nor June of next year. After that, maybe. It is also possible Meija is ready early next year (which let's hope he is, as SPs get hurt a lot.....).
  11. Mike Sixel
    That's a good question, and one that some people raised after the trade was made.....but is not relevant to "what should the Twins do now?".
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious.....who do you think in AAA or the MLB roster is better than Santiago, based on outcomes? Santana Gibson Berrios ???? Duffey? Milone? Dean?
  13. Mike Sixel
    About half the posts don't mention Meyer.....they rip on Santiago....... I loved Meyer....but he's pitched a combined, what, 100 innings or so the last two years, maybe? He's not young, he's super tall, and the Twins had clearly soured on him. I would imagine he had to be on the 25 man roster next year.........would you keep him on the 25 man roster next year?
  14. Mike Sixel
    After years, though......some pitchers clearly outperform their FIP, and some underperform.......FIP isn't like gravity or sunshine......... I cannot understand how anyone can look at this trade, and not think, wow, Antony got rid of Nolasco, and got something back in return.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sure, everyone agrees with that......it is just a bit hard to see that from here though......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Man, if Vielma can hit at all........that would be sweet.
  17. Mike Sixel
    It was a very good day........but Boshers? He of the 9 ERA since his callback? I am not yet a believer.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Bashers staying on his nine ERA since his call back.......
  19. Mike Sixel
    In town. Listened a bit on the way from having dinner with my mom..... Not ten seconds after saying the Rosario play was an error, Gladden says.....a lot of good defense out there tonight....
  20. Mike Sixel
    In the Duffey to pen thread, there is a tweet that Duffey is in the rotation....where in the world is Santiago going to pitch? sorry, couldn't help myself there.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    It sure would help if Buxton and/or Sano could hit.......that lineup is not exactly scary.
  22. Mike Sixel
    As much as I don't like Suzuki not traded......I think I'd give Antony a B or B+ for this deadline.......which is a really high grade for me.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I hope it is obvious I don't hate Nick. I think I met him 1 time in person.......he seemed nice enough to me. I guess I should have typed "I hate this post"......
  24. Mike Sixel
    I hate you.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Really? Didn't they eat money on the Nolasco deal? I don't recall Ryan doing that.....
