    I just want him to succeed, in some way, that the MLB level....even though I supposedly don't root for individuals anymore.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I agree with the philosophy, but it seems sometimes they keep trying to make a guy a starter, when it is clear he isn't one........and won't ever be one. But then, maybe they won't ever be a RP at the MLB level either.

    I think, maybe, you are assuming some things here....I'm very dude like about the Twins. If the lose, whatever.....I'm HERE to have conversations about the Twins, mostly because I sit on lots of really boring conference calls that don't always need my immediate attention (and I tend to work a bit longer some days, so I get my work done). I think some people think that "negative" people are actually angry about this stuff.....I'm not. I can't speak for others, but I'm not. But, I am here to have conversations that are interesting. Saying "everything is awesome" doesn't really interest me. I understand not everyone agrees with that stance.

    Huh, for some reason, I expected more top prospects at this level (off the top of my head). Only having 4 or 5 seems low for this level, given that many get weeded out as they move off. OTOH, maybe that's because AA is loaded! Will be really interested in some of the pitchers here.....along with Vielma and Garver.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I understand the move, but IIRC, he did seem to develop more pitches.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I really waffled on this signing.....on top of the Nolasco deal. IT seems that they should be able to void this deal, but apparently, not.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I too would keep Kepler in the OF and some 1B right now. I can see how you think what you do, though. And, your arguments have merit, I just have this feeling....that's all it is.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I still see Kepler as your 1B/DH of the future.....assuming he's ever healthy and channels his power better. That's a great bullpen, can't wait to see them up here in 3-15 months. I'm impressed at the speed they are moving the bullpen (and Turner). Overall, this team could get Twins' fans excited again, in 3-15 months.

    I think all drugs should be not banned........someday we'll take something like HGH to live healthier longer, and people will just laugh that we used to ban stuff that actually helps athletes recover and be healthy (or even get an edge).
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ah, thanks, I thought it was about another 10 days, not 4...... My belief still stands, no major changes for 6 weeks.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I don't expect those changes until week 6, at the earliest. The minor league teams start later, I believe....and they'll want those players to get some time. This is the roster, barring injury, until mid-May.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I think they could possibly be better than last year, but I am not so sure right now. The Braves just dealt their closer for legit prospects, the Twins are re-signing bad veterans and not trading any veterans.......so, to me, it just looks like last year and the year before. I just don't see a lot of evidence the FO is trying to figure out which youngster is good or not. I hope to be proven wrong soon.
  13. Mike Sixel
    What evidence is there that this is a season of experimentation and learning, given the VETERAN laden roster?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I hope the FO brings up young guys sooner rather than later.
  15. Mike Sixel
    teams dont cut guys 2 weeks in. This is the rotation for 6 weeks, at least.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Pelfrey? Really? How is that the choice? So exciting.
  17. Mike Sixel
    So exciting! Who doesn't want to watch the oldest rebuilding team ever?
  18. Mike Sixel
    About 25th offensively, and bottom three in framing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Replace 2015 with 2014....and those are the same words I read last year. And, Meyer never came up, and May barely did. My point about their age was no to let birdwatcher try to prove that the Twins are not slow at promoting players....but that if they were really good prospects, they would be up by now. .....since that are 25.
  20. Mike Sixel
    May is not young.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The future that never comes......nice trades of Span and Revere so far.....three years in, and nothing to show other than negative contributions.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If coaches are worth 1-3 wins, they are vastly underpaid compared to players.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Attitude matters, the stats outside of baseball show that, no idea what they say inside baseball..... Talent matters a lot more in MLB than in attitude though. I also agree that it is generally a post hoc explanation, that really doesn't hold up to scrutiny well. When a team gets hot, and they say it is chemistry.....which came first, the more luck, or the new attitude? Attitude matters, 100% agree. How it is developed, how it contributes, lots of other questions.....we just don't have a firm understanding. And, picture and laughing while losing and all kinds of other stuff fans get worked up over, not a believer at all.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not exactly the traditional rebuild process......
  25. Mike Sixel
    If it is about his injuries, I am on board with that. If it is something else....then I don't get it (the post above mine someplace).
