    When reading a book, what makes you care about a character? I have a novel drafted, but the characters are pretty generic. What kind of things make you actually care what happens to someone in a book? thanks....

    I don't think the word expendable is a good word. He has value.....if that value can be converted into more value (which includes taking advantage of the banked wins this year), then he should be traded. If not, no, he should not be.

    I have no idea why a bad team didn't sign him and try to recover his SP value. What do Balt, Mia, Det, KC, et. al. have to lose?
  4. Mike Sixel
    My theory is that team was good, not awesome. If you lose in the playoffs every year, it is extreme luck, which seems unlikely. They played in a bad division, which helped their record. I hope this FO makes moves that improve the team when they have a wide open window.
  5. Mike Sixel
    This is one reason to trade pitchers sooner, rather than later......I hope for his sake, he's ok. That's more important, of course.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yes! But that FO is pretty bad.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Concur!
  8. Mike Sixel
    This. Acquire Stroman, and see if anyone offers something crazy good for Thor. If not, great, you have a very good pitching staff for next year. They should be dealing Wheeler though....

    https://twitter.com/jjcoop36/status/1156232160845729797?s=09 It's also about context. You can reasonably count on good prospects, but how many playoff wins do they have from not trading? There aren't likely many years where this franchise will be on pace for 95 wins.

    Good thread.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That's a good list for the Twins!
  12. Mike Sixel
    Fair

    Darvish. Numerous international players. It's not a one year trend. As long as they add players, the media stuff doesn't matter to me, but they've just missed on players every year of this front office.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'll try again. How would you like the rest of us to assess the value of trades involving prospects? To see what might be reasonable for the Twins to make deals, for example?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Spin. I'm tired of the Twins being in on guys. Or just missing. Or whatever.
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's what people said about the beginning of the M and M era. There are no guarantees of health. This team has one legit starting pitcher under contract for next year....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Concur. But if a real ace were available, I'd go far in terms of prospects. Because an ace is almost never available. In the draft, I'm constantly told it is better to draft hitters and trade for pitching..... And that that is the Twins plan. Let's see.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Good points. Even if they did burn a year, you gotta play to win when you have a chance. It's not likely they will consistently be in this position.
  19. Mike Sixel
    How would you like the rest of us to assess all the prospects? Do you really think any of us think what you just typed? What does this post even mean?
  20. Mike Sixel
    If they think he can help this team in the playoffs, that should be 100x more important than a year of control. Theret no guarantee next year will look like thiy year
  21. Mike Sixel
    For the record, is anyone down on giving up Diaz? I'm not sure I get your post. Help me out.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but that's not what Nick said.
  23. Mike Sixel
    No one is taking on Cano at this point.

    You think every team passed on Keuchel, but will sign Odo if there is a QO?
