    I'm ok with him saying that in public. It's never a great idea to rip your employees in public....I hope he's not saying that in private.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm not talking about what the Twins said, I'm talking about this article.......which the OP has made clear is for both of them.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm not disagreeing or not.....but I'm not dealing both of them during the year. After the year, when there are more teams buying? Maybe, but still probably not. Thanks for clearing up this was for both!

    We'll wait for the OP to come back, but this part seems like I'm right? I could be wrong! In 2018, the Padres flipped Brad Hand and Adam Cimber to Cleveland for Francisco Mejía, a top-20 global prospect at the time. That deal saw two relievers with similar team control flipped for one high-end return. Now, the Twins may be looking to repeat history, albeit with even greater upside. So what might a two-for-two top-100 swap look like?
  5. Mike Sixel
    I share that feeling....

    I doubt the Twins deal either RP. Heck, given this FO, I agree, they will try to win still, and get nothing for the expiring deals but regret. Are both teams playing the other? I don't know! But that would be funny.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Nope, it says both....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Wait, this is for BOTH guys? No way. Zero. One of them? Yes, but not both. This is awful for both, truly.

    If you had not stated that ranking systems only look at slash lines, this would be a great post....but come on. Most of these systems are run by former scouts......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I only want those guys as throw ins, or for low value veterans, generally. I mean, if the other team starts their college guys in A ball for some reason, at least there is a track record you can look at....but ya.

    And by then he'll be almost as old as me. He better not be on the 40 man this off season....

    No on the Yankees deal. Don't trust that SS to hit at all. Abel isn't even in the top 10 list for the Phillies on Fangraphs. No way I do it for him. Though I think he could be a good RP, like Varland or Jax level. So it is possible, as they NEED catcher prospects. I love the Mets deal. That return would be more than sufficient for me. More than. I likely do the Dodgers deal. I'm unsure on the Cubs deal. If they think the catcher is a catcher, yes, 100%. But I have no idea on that. They aren't dealing in the division, I'd guess. Also, the SS is having surgery on his shoulder, so no way I take that chance. edit: see below, didn't know this was for BOTH pitchers from MN.

    My plan? Trade the expiring contracts. Other than that? I'd pretty much fire everyone at this point, but that's not what this thread is about.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure, but I know keeping the expiring deals won't help them at all. At least there's a chance they get something if they do trade. They've actually done well selling, they've done less well buying.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The implication is that we think they were going to be allowed to spend more. We could be wrong! But I doubt this FO signs those two thinking the payroll wouldn't go up more. We were doing see well avoiding snark in this thread.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Great post. Agreed.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They literally traded a rental for Ryan. I'm guessing they can get the "raw material" of a starter for several of their non core players.
  18. Mike Sixel
    We're going to go from top pitching prospect in the game to, he's not good, based on a few starts? I doubt baseball agrees with you. I could be wrong, but I'll bet you good money he's not dealt this year based on valuing him as a RP.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd like him playing in the OF or first. If he ever plays SS for the Twins, something went incredibly wrong with the three guys ahead of him, not to mention CC. I could see third occasionally also, but this team refuses to move guys off SS even when we know they won't be one, and then wonder why they aren't good in the OF, see Martin.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Great post. The delta between fault and failure is a good one. This is mostly on the ownership, as they clearly changed the rules right after allowing the FO to spend . Then the FO for me. They pick the players and manager. They have utterly failed to develop good, let alone great, players. Their insistence in keeping bad veterans around is a huge issue.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Great post
  22. Mike Sixel
    Missing the playoffs pretty much every year should be an indication of that.... They have two or three guys that I trust. That's not enough.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Bunting with the bases loaded is a terrible idea. It's virtually unheard of on professional ball. HS teams do it....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Why wait that long? He's dominated two levels. Other teams promote guys like this. Get him up this year, so he's ready next year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    They literally got Ryan for a rental.
