    Except there is not a scarcity of resources for you. There are only so many good RP on the planet. Every one of them that moves to a new team this off season, is one less the Twins have to choose from. As for the last sentence.......name the failed starter other than Perkins the Twins have converted in the last decade to really good RP. This team was a .500 team last year, that had more good luck than bad luck in producing outcomes. Not adding talent to that team (and if you are Torii believer, losing talent) is unlikely to make this a WS contender.

    As pointed out above.....they still have the #18 overall prospect from that trade. If he's a legit starting SS for years, it isn't even close to the top 25 worst deals ever.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Not as long as Dave Stewart is a GM......but ya, it's not looking ideal.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think rest makes sense.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I mean as a CF, so that when Buxton is ready he can play the OF if needed, or be traded. He has zero value as a SS. Actually, if he had zero value at SS, that would be a massive improvement.
  6. Mike Sixel
    AZ must have a prospect left, right?
  7. Mike Sixel
    He should not be at SS......the defense isn't going to get better. Move him to CF full time, and see what happens.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I didn't toss out any stats, and I don't think he'd be "meh" as a starter. That should be obvious since I said a 2/3. I do agree, tossing out stats from bad performances, is usually a bad idea. Tossing out outliers is not. Showing progress over time is not.
  9. Mike Sixel
    the point isn't "is he a better RP or SP".....the point is a number 2 or 3 starter is MUCH MORE valuable than a RP. Some of us think he's a legit MLB starting pitcher, and would rather have 200 innings of that, than 60 innings of RP from him.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Preach it.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He's totally useless sitting in AAA........but he could be a legit MLB RP.
  12. Mike Sixel
    By what measure was it not that bad? WAR?....23rd ERA......21st K/9......last
  13. Mike Sixel
    How good has the bullpen been lately? Not so good, right? I guess I don't worry about anything sports' related anymore, but it seems reasonable, as a fan, to wonder what they are planning at this point.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You don't think that's the plan this year? What do you think it is? Because it doesn't appear to be to sign really good RP in FA either.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If the plan was to use internal candidates.....where were those guys in September of this year? Or do they magically become good over the winter?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but it would be a big change from their MO. I called for him to come up and pitch out of the bullpen last year. Really, he should have been a lefty out of the bullpen last year, but for some reason, did not.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't know the answer....but if that third year wasn't there? 100% yes. But I see NO WAY SD does this.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I predict Rogers wastes away in AAA, when was the last time they converted a starter into a RP (w/o first trying them as a starter in the majors)?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I've often wondered how much is on the scouts vs the coaches in the minors (it being mostly on the player, obviously). This affirms one of my suspicions, not sure it is conclusive, but it wouldn't surprise me.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Huh, that's less than I expected him to get. Good luck to both sides!
  21. Mike Sixel
    The problem isn't the money, it is the roster spot and settling for "meh" IMO. I just don't see him as elite in any way.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not a big Fien fan, but I think tendering him makes sense. I am ambivalent on Nunez. Other than that, the rest should be tendered.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I too am surprised, but I think Claeys showed us he is not as conservative as his former boss.
  24. Mike Sixel
    thoughts on the coaching change? I admit to being surprised. Horrible season......how many games did they win in the big random number?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm not saying never, no, I would never say that...... Sure, there would be times I would leave a starter out there, (many, many factors would go into the decision), but the penalty exists, and it is real.
