    How'd they get Ryan again? You can get lucky....even getting one RP out of this dealing would help. It also frees up playing time for Martin, maybe Eeelse (I really need to look up the spelling), and I'm DFAing France and letting Sabato show if he can play or not. Gather data, experiment, see what you have or don't have. I agree that Lee and Wallner could improve, and I keep playing them (though Lee is bad since moving to 2B off of his natural left side, not sure what to do). I put Keaschell in left (unless they really believe he's the 2B of the future) or first (if he can't throw). There is no good reason not to see if any of these guys are part of the future or not.

    Lee played all of 15 games at second in the minors. He's literally learning the position right now. Because they insist that everyone play short in the minors and can move later easily, like Martin........ As to the topic, I think we're all going to be disappointed at the lack of action.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We've been asking Nick for a month what his plan is.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Hopefully better than I! I had a really nice three round stretch, including my second lowest ever score, now I can't hit anything straight.
  5. Mike Sixel
    CC, Jeffers, Vazquez, Buxton, Lewis, France only play one position. That leaves the corner OF where Wallner only plays right and Larnach left. You seem to think Bader and Castro and Lee moving around makes it hard for everyone to play?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Rodriguez can't stay healthy......I wouldn't count on him. I wish we could. I agree they need a catcher. Three years since they overpaid Vazquez, and they don't even have a guy in AA .... Let alone AAA or the majors.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Hey, you're preaching to the choir..... But I'm just going by how they promote. Also, a bit odd he's in high A again, still....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Yes, this idea the Twins are outliers is always funny to me. The issue is talent, not batting order.
  9. Mike Sixel
    You're looking at Ford or Ballesteros, which I'm pretty sure I spelled wrong. So Seattle or the Cubs. I think Seattle would want Jax and Castro. I'm not sure either alone gets him. Probably Jax and Castro for Ford and a SP ranked around tenth in their system who the Twins eventually after waiting too long, make a RP? Prospects, despite everyone here thinking they are useless, are highly valued by teams.

    What did you want him to do today? Start someone on less rest? Do we think Adams pitches better, based on what we've seen at far? I'm not sure what people expected given they refused to call up Ober.
  11. Mike Sixel
    This is the guy I want most of the realistic guys.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's remarkable really. It's all gone downhill
  13. Mike Sixel
    Missing the playoffs for four of five years.... And people want to stick with this manager and group of players?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Janek is in A+ ball isn't he? He's at least two years away the way the Twins move catchers. But, ya, I do that deal every day. Maybe have them throw in a pitcher around tenth or so in their system and move him to relief.
  16. Mike Sixel
    And Ober and Festa. How deep do you think any team is in starting pitching that is good? You wanted a guy that just retired he's so bad.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    The team still exists after 27.....They aren't getting five starters that are good for the five expiring deals. That's not realistic.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Heck, Lee played 15 games at second in the minors and is struggling there in the majors. Something isn't working at playing everyone at short....
  19. Mike Sixel
    How'd that work for Martin? Or Julien? Or Miranda? They just drafted a SS who should be starting in high A, from college. He's not going to jump Culpeper, Houston, or even DeAndrade. Why play him where he'll never actually play? Get him great at CF or LF or third. Pick two positions , not three or four. Or, keep doing this thing that hasn't worked since this FO got here.
  20. Mike Sixel
    You aren't getting that for two months of Bader.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Well, the minors are not filled. And you could get lucky. Would you rather just keep Bader and get nothing? I'm not sure your point?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Why is Winokur still playing SS? He's never going to start there in Minnesota, unless like three guys die. And don't tell me they can always move him later. That's not working for this team at all. Move him to the OF or first base.
  23. Mike Sixel
    How Kiersey is in Minnesota and not Martin.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    This idea that baseball players were never prospects is odd....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Why would you expect him to say stronger language in public? Also, these are professionals, swearing isn't going to fix things..... It's the talent.
