    Because you can't predict they'll be good, healthy, and all the others would too, just like Mauer and Morneau....I was comparing this situation to the one in the 2000s where they refused to trade from the future, because we just had to wait for Mauer and Morneau to build around, then we could worry about the present.
  2. Mike Sixel
    No, it is not likely Sano will hit 40 HRs. that jus is super rare now. And, I was 100% clear, don't trade Sano or Buxton or Berrios.......
  3. Mike Sixel
    didn't the Wild buy the two most expensive FAs out there? Didn't they go out and trade for a goalie? Did the Wild have a minor league system so deep in left winger that they were likely to lose some in the next off season (see, Twins, corner OF/DH/1B types)?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Except they pick way too late to try that strategy with their next pick.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If they are 10 games over at the trade deadline, I disagree. They should be going all in. In 3 years, Buxton and Sano could get concussions (M&M boys, remember how they were going to carry the Twins to WS), or none of the SP prospects could have worked out, or whatever. If you are in the playoff hunt, legitimately, not barely, you have to take the chance when you have it. There is value in the more certain present. The further into the future you get, the less you know about what it going to happen. I am not saying sell off the big prospects, but one of the many OF/DH/1B types that will sit in the minors while Mauer is here? I just think you all are underestimating the value of certainty, and over valuing the very unpredictable future.

    ya, they need some hitters for sure in the lower levels. I don't get the whole "corner OF isn't important" thing, never have. He can flat out hit. I'll take that over some projectable athlete that can't hit, and worry about LF/RF/1b/dh, whatever, later.
  7. Mike Sixel
    It is a good point, plus Santana can't pitch in the post season. I don't envy Ryan this particular decision right now.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins are 10 games over .500 when trading starts.....they should NOT be punting on this year by trading a successful player.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan. Going to a 6 or 7 man rotation, imo, is just delaying hard decisions. They have a lack of position players already. This won't help that, imo.
  10. Mike Sixel
    If the system is super deep already, it probably makes sense to get more high end talent in, and then, as you say, see what HS kids will sign.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Tall pitchers make me nervous. I'd probably pass on that one.... Aiken also makes me nervous. Given they don't have a 2nd rounder, I think you can't take the chance on also blowing your first rounder (it is all somewhat luck based, adding a bad injury in makes it worse, imo). I like Tate or Bregman or Allard there.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Except he plays first base. Compare him to other first basemen, and Joe looks quite bad.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Read Kiley's article.....not short pitchers, short pitchers that the industry generally loves. KLAW's bias is founded in years of history showing that most short RH pitchers don't work out.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I've been saying early to mid-june since the year started.....If I wasn't working, it would have been much more EXTREME!, but I was sort of listening to that last call....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Kiley calls him this year's black swan, KLAW finds him over rated by most everyone.
  16. Mike Sixel
    The GM does not make the pick, does he? Isn't the that head scout's job?
  17. Mike Sixel
    no, they need to be patient, and make sure he is consistent, and that he is 100% ready before promoting him. Otherwise his career may be over and ruined.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He's plummeting down boards, just don't see it.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess we can expect a guy that plays in the majors, with a 30% chance they are a legit every day player. As for the last part about Dozier and Hrbek......those are exceptions, not rules. If you consistently miss on your first round picks, you are in trouble.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Much better than aluminum, and no college is going to invest in wooden bats, waaaaaaay too much money.
  21. Mike Sixel
    No one's downside is MLB CF.....but I get your point. Like I said, what I know, I read here.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Just reading this, and nothing else, he sounds more like Revere than Buxton to me......
  23. Mike Sixel
    In this week's power rankings on CBS......they don't know what to make of the Twins, but have them 7th.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, if he can dominate w/o a good breaking ball, I'd think you'd want to challenge him and move him up so he HAD to use the breaking ball. But then, I believe people grow by being challenged in general, not in beating others at games when they are just far superior. It is a philosophical difference I clearly hold with the Twins' approach, imo.
  25. Mike Sixel
    would be cool if he got some time there in the minors, if they are considering it......wouldn't it?
