    Psych! No, really, is anyone binge watching before the start of the last season? I am considering it....but given the late start (had to finish the Expanse first), not sure I can handle that much depression over 2-3 weeks.....

    Healthcare and what other two things should be the main message in the next election?

    The twins write up is 18th... https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2019/3/27/18282385/preseason-power-rankings-astros-red-sox-yankees-dodgers-brewers

    82, because they sell at the deadline, instead of buy. If they buy, which I'm predicting they don't, 88.

    Great write-up. Are any of last year's pitchers on the roster this year? They really need some help from the minors that sticks, and contributes. How many hitters? Debuts are nice. Serious contributions are needed.

    43% approve of the job he's doing. How can we reconcile our vast differences on education, the environment, and healthcare?

    The Twins are pretty much median in every ranking. Which makes it really hard to improve by adding talent, outside maybe the pitching (since you need 13 of them most of the time). The scary thing about the pitching is that one starter is under control for next year, I believe.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Congrats!

    mike sixel 12:31 The Twins look median at nearly every position ranking so far.....that seems to make it hard to improve, since they have few gaping holes. What would you have done differently this off season?ReactReact AvatarDan Szymborski 12:32 I really think the Twins should have gone big and been involved in Harper/Machado https://blogs.fangraphs.com/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-3-25-19/

    While there might be pluses to their being guilt, or whatever, our democracy is probably better off not testing that right now. In the 70s the GOP was willing to indict their president, and to do what it thought was best for the democracy. I don't hold that same hope right now, had their been sufficient evidence to consider impeachment. As for the overall investigation, it's like the world has somehow forgotten all the others that have been jailed so far.....

    I'm talking about three years so far......not one year. Hence, "how many years" was in the question. If teams lock up the really good players, you better be willing to trade minor leaguers, because no team is built fully from within.... edit: there were RPs they could have signed for 2 years, and we'll see what Kuechel gets. It isn't JUST about long term deals. And, yes, FAs often don't work out. Neither do minor league players, many of whom put up negative value (esp RPs).

    There were a few last year, and a few this year that were good/great. The Twins signed Cruz and a bunch of bargains. You're right, they have to do a much better job of development, because they aren't winning any bids for great players, apparently, since they just won't be many most years. And, yes, that's kind of my point. If there is a one, you better be trying very hard to get him. Because supply is limited.
  14. Mike Sixel
    That will be the excuse next year, there just aren't any good ones.....which is why waiting for the perfect moment to add talent is BS. It might not be there......add it while you can.
  15. Mike Sixel
    How many years would it have to be, for this FO, to be judged on their willingness and ability, to sign quality FAs vs bargain FAs? (I think their new DH is quality, and not cheap, so maybe they've already proved it, though their lack of action in the RP market belies that ,imo).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Not everyone shared that consensus, but I'm trying not to post every negative take I have..... Like I said, I expect him to be at least a good RP.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs finished its hitter previews today......EDIT: Ooops, they haven't done RF yet? The Twins are pretty much median everywhere buy LF, where they are slightly better than median. While it's great to be median, and not bad......it's really hard to improve a team full of median players. As usual, the writeups vary in tone, as they were written by different authors. As usual, they are interesting reads. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2019-positional-power-rankings-introduction/

    If Romero can't help.....it will be another reminder why trading minor league guys for actual MLB players is maybe a better idea than some here will admit.... That said, I have every confidence he'll be a good RP someday.
  19. Mike Sixel
    that last part should be in your resume.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    good luck
  21. Mike Sixel
    think how it would look if the Sox did it when Betts was in this position? We can play this game all day.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Guest 1:43 Kirilloff seemed like a great pick in 17 when the Twins were able to get him with a mid round pick. Was the reason he was available that far into the round because he doesn’t play a premium position? Keith Law 1:43 Yes, also a cold-weather kid, and not a premium tools/athlete. Always trepidation over bat-first HS position players. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2019/03/21/klawchat-3-21-19/

    The best advice is to use the cover letter to share some of your personality, which most likely does not come thru on your resume. Just give them a taste of yourself. Also, make it really clear why you want THIS job, and why you can help them (more important than why you want it, actually).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Pretty small cap hit, actually. Used a signing bonus and stuff to monkey with the hit this year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ok, then I'll go back to writing about resumes, I guess....
