    Gibson, healthy, is a very good pitcher....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to all of them!
  3. Mike Sixel
    You could have caught that.
  4. Mike Sixel
    How is that a double? This is why ERA is meaningless.... On the plus side, yay!
  5. Mike Sixel
    They might be clearing a 40 man spot to trade their competitive draft pick......the draft is coming up. Or, they cleared a spot because signing Adams and promoting him was not a good idea at all, and they may as well DFA him at this point.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Of course, the year before it was the Astros trading 3 of their top 11 for Verlander.....and then in the off season trading for another SP......so I think 1 year of trends might not be a true indicator.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    7 games in, almost 7, and Sano is around 25th in 3B WAR already.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    they don't have much help coming, so they should wait for the future to be better? I'm not sure I understand this position. Help me understand..... Because they are projected to win around 95 games this year, and you don't see much help for next year in the minors, so, why wait?
  9. Mike Sixel
    I never understood the "the lineup is good enough, we don't need Sano" crowd.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    what do people actually do with bobble heads?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Why would one of the (now) favorites for the ALCS sell? I'm baffled by this post.
  12. Mike Sixel
    He was not far from top 100 in 2018 on Fangraphs, IIRC.....but not sure before that (and not this year).
  13. Mike Sixel
    three guys in Detroit's top 10 seems like a good price to me edit:ninja'd by your response!
  14. Mike Sixel
    If he hit 60s, I stand corrected.......also, sort of proves the point that some guys should be traded for actual MLB players, and not counted on. Of course, he can still be a legit MLB player, but his stuff isn't GREAT, and he was hurt for some time....
  15. Mike Sixel
    You get great players by trading great prospects, that's how it generally works......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Astros sent number 5 and 15 for Cole.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Astros sent their number 3, 9, and 11 prospects for Verlander.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    You can set any price you want, but it's negotiated......so, not sure I get your post? This post also touches on the relative value of the available (?) players, which is kind of important in this work....

    Outside Twin's Daily, I don't recall most websites loving Gonsalves........but it should remind everyone why "untouchable" or "can't fail" or "worst case he's helpful" just isn't true....
  21. Mike Sixel
    They can make the team better w/o giving up their top 7-10 prospects? Also, this is a bird in hand situation....everything is going well, and the players are healthy. That doesn't happen every year, how many years were Mauer and Morneau healthy and great together? If you aren't willing to strike this year, you never will be.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If I was a betting man, I think they'll trade for Mike Minor, and not one of the big names being thrown around.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Congrats on putting in more ads that move the screen content around, just as I try to click on content, so I end up following the ad....... If my website ever starts attracting enough viewers to make money, I hope I find a way that doesn't involve this....

    Justin 1:05 A couple of years ago you correctly predicted the twins regression after a hot start to the season, any thoughts on the team this year? Keith Law 1:06 Legit. I said this winter I thought they were a more likely contender than people thought. Granted, I don't think they hit 400 homers this year or whatever they're projected to hit, but I do think they are a 90+ win team. Kevin 1:18 Buxton looks like a bust for former #1 prospect. Why everyone projects he will hit for average and power in the minors? Keith Law 1:18 Buxton has a 111 wRC+ and 1.6 fWAR already this year. Did you type this question in February and only hit send today? Joe 1:40 Martin Pérez? Real or fake? Keith Law 1:41 I think the breakout is real. Using that cutter like a third of the time (HT to Aaron Gleeman for tweeting that stat) and it's a legit weapon for him - especially since his lack of a real average breaker was always a problem.

    T(win)s: After nearly a decade of mediocrity, do you see the Twins being able to sustain some success past this season? Solid team, solid farm, new management, and minimal long term contracts all add up to promising future. 1:53 Avatar Jay Jaffe: They have a nice core of young talent, and this regime’s move from the team’s decades-long addiction to pitch-to-contact types seems promising, for sure. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-5-23-19/
