    One thing is for sure, if they don't add talent, people can come here (and will) and say the team wasn't good enough to add to....it's really a self-fulfilling prophecy.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Not worthy of being taken isn't exactly high praise.......when other players drafted those years are starring in the majors.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    gotta concur here. This team is where it is because they have utterly failed at picking high with those two picks. Not just a small fail, but complete so far. Maybe Stewart bounce back....but Jay will be claimed and they will have bupkiss to show for the 6th overall pick just a few years ago.
  4. Mike Sixel
    It hurts that when I sold off to buy a house I didn't sell all the NVIDIA. A lot.....oh well. As long as I don't need the money, it will bounce back most likely, over a long time....
  5. Mike Sixel
    He doesn't even really talk about winning at all.....let alone try to win big. Maybe Portland will get a team, and I can care about baseball again. I'm only here for the conversation at this point.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, no surprise there. They have done nothing to make the MLB team better on long term acquisitions in the first two years, and Sano and Buxton's play last year can't make them thrilled to bother trying this year either. I hope no one buys a single ticket, frankly.
  7. Mike Sixel
    If they add no one this off season, it is another year of Buxton and Sano down the drain. I'll say this, if they aren't going to add, they should 100% trade Gibson. And Reed. And Castro. And cut Grossman.
  8. Mike Sixel
    In any event, I look forward to this thread being about moves made, and maybe there being one about a real Twins signing, not bargain, one year, who cares, moves....
  9. Mike Sixel
    The fact that they had highly rated prospects that didn't work out is kind of Chief's point.... I'd rather have the Brewers approach. I guess some knew Sano and Buxton would provide no value, but then why not trade them? Otoh, if you thought they'd be good last year, they should have added long term talent, not a series of bad one year deals. Aim low, achieve low.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Which free agents are not likely to decline, that you'd sign for three or more years? That's got to be a very short, expensive, list.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Again, missing the point. The next trade we'll read how it just didn't work, then the next trade, then the next trade. Somehow, no matter the farm system, or needs, it never is a good idea for the Twins.
  12. Mike Sixel
    My recollection was that people didn't like it was the only move. Why bother, if you are not really trying?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Because they NEVER trade prospects for players like this. Ever. That's the point. How's that working out? There is always an excuse.
  14. Mike Sixel
    my expectation is that they continue to not add anything to the MLB roster that is beyond a year or two deal, and once again the team does not much that makes any meaningful difference.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Does anyone really think the Twins will trade for Greinke? Based on all the years of history, and two off seasons of basically doing nothing?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. But there is always a "reason" why the Twins didn't do something. Always.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I didn't watch much, just can't watch this team not be what it should. But, two things: Zimmer is way too conservative for me, been saying it since he got here. The OL will sink this team, no matter what anyone here might say, this OL is not good enough. I doubt I'll watch much more this year, unless something drastically changes. I got things to do, like clean the house.
  18. Mike Sixel
    At least the Twins didn't lose yesterday, by not even showing up.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Fire the offensive coordinator. Now. As for the OL.... I'm told it is not the problem, over and over. If they don't make the playoffs, does anyone have a job?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Nothing about this team says great, let alone super bowl caliber.
  21. Mike Sixel
    https://www.vox.com/2017/7/24/15913826/machiavelli-donald-trump-democracy-america-erica-benner What I've been saying....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm....that's different than what I read before, but you make a compelling argument.

    Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe 10:11 If you had to pick one Major League player to defeat Darth Vader, who do you choose? Does bat control equal lightsaber skills? Jeff Sullivan 10:11 I don't know, but Willians Astudillo 10:12 Astudillo is up to 96 winter league at-bats, with zero strikeouts 10:13 (batting .354. three home runs yesterday) https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-11-16-18/
  24. Mike Sixel
    Day, what, a million, and still no action.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's not like the Senate, you know, approves (or doesn't) justices and judges.......so, ya, not having it is bad. And, supposedly, the map looks bad in 2 years, again.
