    That's literally how they got this far. The Twins would be lucky to have this kind of manager.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Not even competitive with a winless team.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I don't think people have realized how much batting averages are down across the league..... Some of these posts are suggesting he's not good enough unless he's a top thirty player across all of baseball. Sure, he needs more hitting, but he's not that far off
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Then he's an above average player. If they had nine guys otr up that much war, they'd be thrilled.
  6. Mike Sixel
    What doesn't exist? Defense is calculated for first base. There just aren't that many opportunities to make plays others rarely do. The data is readily available.
  7. Mike Sixel
    People that watch every play, and every throw and dig, year after year, disagree with you. This isn't random posters....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.....but to pass on things that work because they are less entertaining is not going to work either. So, it is up to MLB, not the teams, to make changes.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm out on signing Machado. I don't like dirty players that try to hurt opponents.
  10. Mike Sixel
    For example, the Yankees had five hitters put up more WAR than that. Were all the other players backups, not good enough to start for a great team? The Brewers had four. Teams don't have nine starters that put up very good war.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Kepler was 13th in RF war. If he's a fourth outfielder, there must not be as many teams as I think there are.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Austin, Garver, Sano, should rotate there. No to Grossman even being iyn the roster, please. I would not be opposed to adding a player, but I'd hope he has position flexibility.
  13. Mike Sixel
    How does it move forward, if thirty percent won't? That's a large, large, percent.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Did they start with a Buxton, Sano, Kepler, Polanco, and Berrios in the minors? Plus Garver. Two top ten prospects? Plus three more in the top 100?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Much of the South hasn't moved past that still, hundreds or dozens of years later. And we expect that to change? That doesn't seem realistic at this point.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Again, I literally posted here over and over, that I don't expect it to be done in 2 years.....see Chief and Ash and other posts here. Clearly I'm not alone in not seeing much progress. I'm not sure what you are arguing, since I don't expect it to be done. I expect to see on the field progress. And not a catcher playing CF, and then not being up.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Rocket man: Pick a 19/20 year olds to shoot thru the minors and called up to majors next year? 2:31 Kiley McDaniel: Well Vlad, Tatis and Royce are all 19 right now and, in that order, could/will be in the bigs soon. Wander Franco as a 17 year old is the real longshot https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board
  18. Mike Sixel
    I hope that if someone is offering the Twins what would be the Twins' 21 prospect for Grossman, that the FO has already said yes, and we are just waiting for it to be legal to complete.
  19. Mike Sixel
    My tone is asking when we can see clear progress, on the field. And, my tone is that when a player says negative things about the Twins, it's ok to admit that here......and not make excuses. That's where this whole thing started, with a player saying the Twins weren't good enough yet, and people coming into the thread and saying he didn't say that....or that we can't expect visible progress. See the post above for another perspective.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That's our plan for getting people that live in the South to change their attitude toward immigrants, and minorities, and gays and, and, and? Beat them in elections?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I have never once said "finish" in 2 years either, but I have asked when we can see clear progress, and when we can judge the FO on results. It's like when everyone here said they'd be good in 16, then in 17, then in 18......and people who pointed out that it wasn't working were told not to judge the team yet.....so, when can we judge results? If it is up to you, how long would you wait to see better results?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I've never said a day....or even that they would be done in 2 years. But, if that is the list of players they've added (and then you subtract who is gone), it's kind of hard to see progress. The Astros, Cubs, and Brewers all lapped this team in rebuilds. The Rays and A's put even less resources into their rosters, and beat up the Twins. So, yes, more than 2 years to finish the job. No doubt, and I've said that here over and over..... As for changing the 5th largest company in the US....that seems like it might be harder.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure a 26% difference is all that close. And, let's be honest.....if it was a real effort, no, they were not "right" about the years, they were lucky they didn't bid the most. Because if we are saying they are lucky to avoid he injury, it happened in year 1, not year 4 or 5 or 6..... I don't really care about the context of Ryan and his unwillingness (or the ownership's) to spend money. They aren't competing against Terry Ryan, they are competing against the other teams in MLB. We'll know a lot more after this off season. but, I'm not sure how anyone can look at the first two years and say this FO is risk takers.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Buxton, Kepler, Sano......for every guy advancing, they have guys that aren't. As for talent, we are in year two, and they've not added much at the MLB level.....so it's pretty hard to assess that right now. I'm interested in the etc. list....because they couldn't even figure out Astudillo should catch the first time he was up.....heck, he played CF, and wasn't up again until late in the year. How hard was it to know that Astudillo was a better option than Wilson?
  25. Mike Sixel
    No one is trading for the what Grossman has been the last three years. If so, trade him now!
