    Yikes.....that's 50%. I'd think that the league has a higher percent than that....which is of course why they should sign run preventers right now.
  2. Mike Sixel
    i'd say Meyer is more MLB ready, last year, then Rosario is right now....that wasn't obvious in my statement? Which do you think is more MLB ready, Meyer last year, or Rosario right now? that was clearly the post, wasn't it?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'd be ok with him in LF to start, if they think he's close. I have no issue with him learning here, I fondly recall the Twins youngsters learning in the mid-80s......
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think it is interesting that he is close, but Meyer was not last year.....which would you rather have, Meyer last year, or Rosario right now?
  5. Mike Sixel
    That run differential is a lot different, thanks for the reminder.....it is a stat that does bother me some though, because of the outliers. What I really want to know is: how many times did they score 5 or more runs in a game last year (or whatever the number is that gets you in the 60-70% chance you win a game).
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, this is exactly what happened each of the last 4 years.....so unless substantive changes are made, not sure why we'd expect something different next year. The have no MLB average LF or CF even on the 40 man roster......hard to feel they'll definitely be better at this point. I do think they will be, but I didn't really find any of your arguments compelling. It's pretty easy to cherry pick stats for pitchers. The bullpen is fungible, except for some reason the Twins don't treat it that way much. Someone else already pointed out the fallacy in your catcher expectations, and your Dozier expectations (and I agree with them on that). Until they have a LF and CF and RP, and a 5th starter, it's pretty hard to argue that they must be better, given that's what they've been for 4 years now. At least it is for me.

    I was a bit surprised by that......but if he thinks Eddie is a year away, and Byron is a year away, then there is a logjam (just not at the MLB level, unfortunately).

    Here is what KLAW said about him today: JG (MN) Any rise in Eddie Rosario's stock after the AFL? Better chance he plays in MN or gets traded? Klaw (1:21 PM) No rise - hard for a player to really change his stock in the AFL unless he was hurt beforehand (e.g., Tyrell Jenkins, who looked as good as ever and is clearly healthy again). I think he gets traded because of their CF logjam. Can really hit and run.

    thoughts from Fangraphs' scouts on Rosario: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/standout-prospects-from-the-afl-title-game/ Not glowing....but not bad....
  10. Mike Sixel
    They didn't have any corner OF because they signed Kubel instead of an actual OF.......it's a self fulfilling prophecy. That was the point, they take up roster space.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think we are all dreaming if we think any of Rosario, Sano, Buxton start the year in MN. I think it is likely Meyer is in the minors. I think Burdi is in the minors. Frankly, I don't see a lot of help from the minors the first 2 months of the year, unless Meyer is up.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Sano will start in the minors, that's been clearly stated by TR, I believe* *unless I remember wrong, which is possible.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sano and Buxton might not be ready this year.......what do you do in LF and CF until 2016?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I pretty much hate all the options to fix the OF right now. Good luck to TR on fixing even one of the positions this year. This is, of course, why I believe you don't wait until the "perfect" time to sign a FA, because there might not be one there in the future that helps you.....when you have money and need, and there is a FA, sign him.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The even bigger problem is when you rely on multiple players like him to be a starter.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think it is news he can't even hit in that league....not sure getting cut is, but not hitting? Ugh.
  17. Mike Sixel
    ignore my comment on Sano.....TR is quoted on BA saying he's a 3B. good news, imo.
  18. Mike Sixel
    didn't TR mention it as a possibility this year? Maybe I dreamed that.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Miguel Sano should be on this list, IMO......as a possible RF some day. AAA and the majors are black hole largely, and AA has a guy that hasn't played in a year, and a guy that they tried to make a 2B that has/had drug issues. I hope they sign a FA, just in case......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe I should have put the humor tag on that one......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Love, Love this article. Too bad Steil doesn't have access to the same information as you.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that the natural cycle you always post about? How could the Tigers have a good farm system if they are drafting late all the time lately? And, isn't your argument that is only sustainable for about 10 years or so doing it the Twins way? How many years will the Tigers be good/great, then bad, then good/great again? Isn't the cycle about the same?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Last in the AL (all non-CO MLB?) in SP.....and people want to stand pat. Unless they are calling up Meyer day 1, they better bring in some help.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Hughes did not just move out of Yankee stadium. Other things were "fixed".
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'll take the bet Nolasco makes 30+ starts and has an ERA under 4.3. I'll take the No side.
