    Fangraphs had an article on this. They feel the twins are in no danger. I even asked for classification, and one of the authors was certain it was no issue. They also added roster resource to their site, which is amazing for answering questions like yours.

    Trade for whom? The idea that the right players will be available in the future seems suspect to me. It's on of the issues of not signing Keuchel.... Other starters were not available. This idea that they can just trade for guys when needed seems suspect to me. As for what they did, it was fine. Let's see how Dyson does outside SF.... But they needed RP, and they got two. Hopefully they got the right two.

    This deadline should be a warning, imo, that drafting only hitters high so you can trade for pitching later, might not be viable. If no good pitchers are available, or have Minnesota on their no trade. Please note the word might is in there....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I never once mentioned those two! The Twins organization is all I've ever said. There is more to the team than just those two.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Yes
  6. Mike Sixel
    It's definitely not a cut and dry answer at all.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Heck, I think they could have done that after the draft this year too.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I always liked Kepler, but I never saw this coming.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I know this is going to sound crazy, but the Reds attendance is up 3000 per game this year, after their offseason of additions. Maybe they want to keep those fans around? It's possible....no idea.
  10. Mike Sixel
    don't you own a house now?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Also, Garver is much more likely to get hurt catching.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not true, he's hitting better than ANY first baseman this year. He's basically Pete Alonso. Sano does complicate this for sure, if they want/need to move him to first. Of course, then Garver is your catcher again...... Garver has half as many ABs as the other top hitters in the game. How much is staying at catcher worth, if you give up 250 ABs a year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'd put MN in the winner line. Barely, but there. It does show, imo, that assuming you can add to your team at the deadline to fix anything you passed on fixing earlier isn't necessarily true. Sometimes those fixes aren't available (I'm thinking the Yankees here, mostly).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Most likely Castro or a vet, with Astudillo to start, yes. Then one of the catchers from the minors, like Jeffers or Rortverdt (sp?) at some point, most likely.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I said Twins organization. I said it is likely they are part of the reason. I actually never said only reason. What is the MOST LIKELY reason? Since, he does have cold weather cities not on his list...... And no, it's not the same as saying Sano is lazy, not even a little.
  16. Mike Sixel
    So....heresy coming....but should Garver be the 1B next year, to get, what, 200-250 more ABs? Also to reduce his injury risk?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I hope it wasn't money.....$53MM is what the Astros will pay for 2 and 1/3 years of Greinke. In any event, we've gone off the rails here. Dyson is a solid pickup.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's certainly possible!
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not many impact arms were traded, but that just shows, imo, how valuable (expensive) impact arms are.
  20. Mike Sixel
    For some people, I thought I said taht.....maybe not. I'd bet a good percent, actually. Nothing has to be, but I bet it is for many.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you don't think it's the Twins fault the Twins are on his NTC, why do you think he doesn't want to come to MN? What's a more likely reason?
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's like people are not reading what I'm saying at all.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I believe he wouldn't wave it......the question is, what's more likely, he doesn't want to play for the Twins, or he doesn't want to live in MN for 6ish months? I never said I didn't believe him, I asked if the Twins themselves might be the reason the Twins are on his NTC.
  24. Mike Sixel
    good one!
  25. Mike Sixel
    Given the massive debt issues of this country, lack of retirement (or any) savings, etc.....I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest a lot of people aren't as disciplined as you.
