    But he didn't. That's how the one side plays now. Which was my point, times have changed. That was my whole point in that post, it's a different time now....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Try the Sano threads, and maybe don't take it personally when I don't agree with parts of what is being done. Or do. Your choice.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I did. Then later I saw the comment and didn't go back to verify. Maybe assume positive intent, and not whatever your are?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I was just responding to the post above mine.... And should not have trustedd it I guess?

    The playoffs are not a crapshoot at best. They have some randomness, but they aren't random.
  6. Mike Sixel
    There isn't much high end pitching in this system, so two of the top ten hitters....
  7. Mike Sixel
    There are more tweets there already, I expect more. At it's one person disagrees. Mostly just putting this on, like I do all twins content I find, but, I did also participate....

    Houston has made several trades involving multiple players in their top ten prospect list. So, maybe aim higher than only trading medium players? Or are they not at the forefront of winning?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Also all college or older in A ball, I believe. Which, great for them they are doing well!
  11. Mike Sixel
    And the next...
  12. Mike Sixel
    If they won't trade a corner OF, they will never make a huge trade like Houston. Or other recent WS champions.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I must not have been clear. Because that last sentence was 100% not what I was trying to say.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Yes, that was great. It's not the individual decisions, it's the pattern. But, let's see if they break it at some point. Houston certainly has decided that trading great prospects for great pitching works..... Also, do we have to type... There is risk.... every time we want the twins to sign someone? Standing pat also has risk, just remember how everyone was sure healthy Mauer and Morneau were going to carry this team, so no need to trade prospects when the twins were healthy and winning, they'd surely be winning again the following years.... Bank the wins in good, lucky, years.
  15. Mike Sixel
    That's not going to win the WS, maybe not even one playoff series. Get good players
  16. Mike Sixel
    This reminds me of their confirmed interest in Cuban players back in the day...
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Even if the majority of people don't vote for him, since dividing votes by state is somehow a good idea in our one national vote....
  19. Mike Sixel
    It wasn't kimbrel or bust, but every time they pass on a player, it isn't that player or bust. It's the pattern that might be an issue. That seems to be the part some people miss. When some of us worry about moves it isn't that one move, it is the pattern. Like Vikings passing on OL over and over early in the draft. Then thinking they can find good ones late. Like the AAA players some here want to rely on rather than acquiring RPs from outside. That hasn't worked here all that well, but what the back end of bullpens do is rarely brought up when saying how bad FA RPs are. How are the next two or three guys in AAA compared to them?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Nothing about fandom is rational..... And, people do change. For the first time in how long, this team has leadership from outside? It's not like wins at all....
  21. Mike Sixel
    If they are still this good at the deadline, I don't want moves. I want big moves. The previous front office was into sustainable winning, and didn't take advantage of their opportunities, because giving up prospects was giving up the future. They didn't win anything. I hope this FO is different, and when the opportunity to strike is there, they do.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, I'll try. First, want and expect are two different things. Second, there are owners that spend beyond profitable levels. Third, one can hope that when the team is super competitive that the owner will take less profit to win. Hope it's also different than expect.
  23. Mike Sixel
    . The next time he says acquiring a RP is a good idea will be the first. Which is cool. He's very consistent in this point. And he has data
  24. Mike Sixel
    Two injured players?
  25. Mike Sixel
    They have up great prospects..... Still waiting for this team to ever do that.
