    Bullpens 10:17 Besides the Rays and As, which teams are most built for/most likely to decelop a pitching staff that fully blurs the line between SP and RP? Jeff Sullivan 10:17 Could see the Padres ending up somewhere like that 10:18 And since the Twins are already experimenting at Double-A, Triple-A, and the majors, they're clearly open-minded https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-9-21-18/

    Not an NBA guy, but I know a tiny bit.....good luck Wolves fans. Ouch.

    Kepler was league median in RF among all teams.....I don't understand why people don't like him as an OF.......Of course, that was largely driven by very good defense, so I understand why people want more hitting......but I'm not sure replacing him with a bad fielder who hits more is a better idea. I'd rather they just let him try to keep hitting.....and he can play CF, just in case Buxton can't hit at all again....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I asked pretty much the same question......glad yours got answered.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Very well written and probably mostly correct article. Nicely done.
  6. Mike Sixel
    The Rockies are not trading Gray. Why would they? I had that dream this year, when they sent him down, but it isn't happening. But I wish it would!
  7. Mike Sixel
    two more years of not trying to win? I hope not. I hope that is not the plan. If so, just trade Gibson this off season.

    I have read that before.....but when Amazon was "too hot" about 1000% ago, people were very wrong. Buy the best companies, with niches and moats, and make money......no matter how "over priced" they may appear. IMO, of course, this is not actual financial advice....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Zero position players in the minors ready to help. One pitcher that could be exciting (Romero).....that's it. Other than that, what you see is what you get. W/O significant FA help or trades, 2019 looks bad * *unless Buxton and Sano learn to hit, of course, but there is little evidence of that right now.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree, that's more than 90% likely true. Alas.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That does seem to be the plan I'm reading the most right now. I hope the FO does not agree.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Is he confirmed yet, so we can go on to the next secretary to resign?
  13. Mike Sixel
    There are reasons for optimism, but then "everyone" thought the Twins would hit this year, and pitching would be the question.....so I'm not sure I'm as far as Ted yet. Let's see how healthy Pineda is, then we can dream.
  14. Mike Sixel
    context....and present vs future value....and relative positional scarcity among the teams.... No trade is even in present value......well, not on purpose.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Heh, don't trade young guys that are down, they have no value. Don't trade young guys that are good, they are part of the future. don't trade minor leaguers for veterans, because then you can't sustain competitiveness. Don't sign SPs to long term deals, too risky.....Don't sign position players to long term deals, because they won't be good at the end...... How do people expect to get a good team here?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Well, the old FO didn't believe in Palka either....and he can't field at all. Who would you take off this roster, and keep over Palka (before the year starts)? No one. Not one player.
  17. Mike Sixel
    You know, as the backup for CF....he has some value...and I don't trust Buxton or Cave.... Plus, I think he should get time at 1B when Austin and Sano and Garver aren't there. BTW, maybe they should move Garver now, before concussions rob all his health....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Him and Garver and a medium SP for JT.....who says no? I think that's not enough for JT.....throw in one of the lottery ticket types? Still probably not enough..... Kiriloff, Wade, Rooker, Baddoo, random FA.....all are options next year or the year after...... I doubt his value is HIGH right now, but if you can package him for a legit SS or C that is around for 3+ years, I do that. Lewis or that SS can always move to OF or 3B.......or even 2B......
  19. Mike Sixel
    Flukes. The only one I question is Rodriguez. Neither of the other is going to help a team WIN, imo. Do the Twins trade for Cave if they keep Palka? Does Adrianza make the roster if Goodrum does? I'd much rather have Cave at this point, much.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Chris 2:09 Do you think Max Kepler has more to offer or is he what he is at this point? Keith Law 2:09 Still expecting more. Again, maybe I'm just stubborn.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'll post this here..... Gus Johnson 1:31 Aside from Kershaw (who will probably resign with the Dodgers?), Patrick Corbin looks like the only high-impact FA pitcher. Would you give him a Yu Darvish-type contract (6 yr/126M)? Keith Law 1:31 I would. I agree on Kershaw, and that Corbin is the best 'real' FA pitcher on the market.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I've been considering Spain......or maybe central america....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Where? Because I'm buying a house in the US this week, and I'm wondering why.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I too hope we don't hear again next year about what great bargains, and low risk guys, they signed, and how smart it is not to actually improve your team for more than 1 year at a time......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Moving the deadline makes it harder for the trading team to better in the future. I completely disagree with this idea. I'd move it to mid-August, and only have one deadline. You get two more weeks with your good players, you get rid of the silly waiver deadline, and bad teams can still improve their odds in future years.
