    That last sentence is key. Sometimes people think that if we voice displeasure at a decision, that we think it is awful/evil/the end. Mostly it's mild disappointment.
  2. Mike Sixel
    that's different than him being a head liner for a difference maker, which is the post I responded to (without quoting, oops). Of course he can be part of a trade, anyone can.

    Loons 2:43 Who would you say has been the most valuable piece of the Twins season thus far? Meg Rowley 2:44 the general answer is probably an annoying getting much more from everyone than they expected, but if I had to pick one person, I guess I'd go with Odorizzi being this good because I was very skeptical he would be Pretty rad to see Buxton and Polanco having these years so far though https://blogs.fangraphs.com/meg-rowley-fangraphs-chat-6-11-19/

    I don't see a rebuilding team trading for a 26 year old minor leaguer. That doesn't seem like it fits within a realistic timeline at all to me.

    My comment was about the system, not the FO currently in place.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I doubt Rooker is in the top 10 much longer, actually. I still have hope for him, but I don't see top 10 in the system results there.
  7. Mike Sixel
    agreed that the resources and process seems better. Hard to say if that is generating better results yet, but I think it will. We'll see if it generates great results.....that's what really matters.
  8. Mike Sixel
    The thing about they system I wonder.....Houston just keeps pulling up good to great players. MN has pulled up Garver and, um, who in the last two+ years for their debut? And who is likely to come up this year? I might be missing someone, but there doesn't seem to be much actual help coming up right now (or recently).
  9. Mike Sixel
    It supposedly clears cap space this year, which if they use, ok, this might make sense. If they don't use it, I don't get the deal at all. He's been fine to good, but not great.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Starting to look like "we need to keep the vets around for one last push" time.....which makes both sense, and me nervous. Was Kyle even that good last year?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Mind. Boggled.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Blankenhorn is ridiculous right now.
  13. Mike Sixel
    From what we're told, MN would go two years. Not sure why we don't believe that's the reason. In other words, they wanted him, just not at three years. It was about the money.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Which had nothing to do with the fact the Twins generally have had less money to offer. But the fact that Cruz, Shoot, and Perez all signed here means someone wants to. Just not maybe always who we want, one way or the other.
  15. Mike Sixel
    the point was, we don't know what any of these guys want, but people keep making assumptions that they don't want to sign here, as one of the explanations, when we literally don't know. Because maybe they do. maybe not. we don't know.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone is arguing otherwise, and you are correct.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't even know what integrity of the game means.....they are all playing by the same rules. The only thing about the game that matters in terms of "integrity" is if it is a fair contest at the time it takes place.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's partly the ball, but are other teams on pace to shatter the record?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Yikes. Every "expert" was fairly sure he'd at least be a RP.....wow.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Was it posted April 1?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Money doesn't erase racism. That said, get rid of owner? Silliness.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Who are two ideal pitchers the Twins should target at the trade deadline since Kimbrel and Keuchel signed elsewhere? ReactReact AvatarDan Szymborski 12:19 Bumgarner is the obvious one. Though I'd love someone to send a spy to infiltrate the Nationals and see if they throw in the towel Because I'd want to swoop in and some Strasburg action! howdy 12:26 You see anything different from berrios this year that makes you think hell maintain his current production? Last year he had a similar start and faded. Just the typical ebbs and flows of a young pitcher? AvatarDan Szymborski 12:26 I think the latter really
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, the data is clear. ERA has less correlation with future performance than FiP.... No one believes Odo will lead the league in ERA,I wouldn't think. This pitching staff has produced results that aren't likely to continue, given their underlying talent. I hope the FO acts on that knowledge.
  24. Mike Sixel
    They traded three players in their top five, so maybe we have different definitions of top? That said, agreed, this year they are in a similar position to Houston a couple years ago. Of course, they keep calling up guys who do well, so something is still different in the systems.... But, they have the capital to make deals. We'll see soon.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm pretty sure you missed the point of that post.
