    I was just trying to show the young man some sympathy......

    I don't know if there is another Brusdar out there or not.......but I don't think so.... Kyle 1:09 Does Brusdar have the stuff to profile as a potential #1 if things go right? Kiley McDaniel 1:10 He shows an above changeup, plus breaker and hits 100, all without the long levers issues of Manning, so there's a better chance that Brusdar! could become an ace. But Brusdar! also has some command issues. mike sixel 1:15 Odds Royce Lewis is a SS or CF in MN? Kiley McDaniel 1:15 I lean CF, 65/35 https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-8-22-18/

    Bullpen over use (of specific players) is a huge issue......as is continuing to play Grossman over Austin, and other examples of more experienced players clearly getting preference, even in a lost season. I don't blame him at all for the players that were just flat out bad this year, that is largely out of his control.....but the two above things are not acceptable. Given some of the comments about the clubhouse by some of the players, I'm not sure how well the clubhouse was managed this year. But, we'll never really know. I've never really been a believer, and he's done nothing to change my mind. Maybe that's not fair, but it is what it is. I'd be good with him being replaced, but I probably won't pull my hair out if he isn't. But man, he's really got to stop burning out specific RP arms....

    It is a great idea. I doubt they do it.
  5. Mike Sixel
    whoa, whoa, whoa...... nm, I agree. But then, I'd not be rostering Grossman at this point, so clearly I know nothing.
  6. Mike Sixel
    good first attempt, anyone else got a good finisher for that?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Speaking of routines, did you hear the one about.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Why is Grossman on the roster, let alone playing? I really do not understand the plan here at all.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Has Ramos had a healthy year in years? Otherwise I'd like him.....but then he'd cost more. But the injuries are non-stop.
  10. Mike Sixel
    They are chanting "lock her up" at the rally......just. wow.
  11. Mike Sixel
    well played!
  12. Mike Sixel
    That's why it is important to have that stuff in writing way ahead of time.
  13. Mike Sixel
    bold prediction! don't drink every time he says witch hunt.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Is 10 in one of those ranges? And, .5 WAR is a huge delta from 1-2, to 1.5 to 2.5.......Of course it isn't precise, but to say "it doesn't matter".....and the money doesn't matter? Are people really arguing that the team is no more likely to have a good pick at 10 than 20? or 11 than 19? It's fine to take that stance, but the numbers don't support it at all. The actual studies and numbers. I'm out on this part, I've made my point. Whether people choose to agree or not is up to them.
  15. Mike Sixel
    how so? One is younger and healthier....... what else are you doing with the money? IF Rortverdt plays in 2020, it won't be much. Rookie catchers tend not to get a ton of time.

    Johan Quezada, RHP, Minnesota Twins Level: Low-A Age: Turns 24 on Saturday Org Rank: 46 FV: 35+ Line: 3.1 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 R, 6 K Notes This was Johan Quezada’s first career appearance in full-season ball. An imposing mound presence at a towering 6-foot-6, he has recovered from the shoulder surgery that cost him all of 2017, and his velocity has returned. He sits 94-97 with extrem................... go visit to read more: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/daily-prospect-notes-8-21-2018/

    don't forget about Jose Quezada!

    hey, I'm just responding to "it doesn't matter if they pick 10th or 20th".......which is what others said, several times. I'm not saying anything about where they will finish.
  19. Mike Sixel
    While I agree they aren't bad, shouldn't the comparison be to the league, not how bad the Twins were? On that front, they do ok.....league median in WAR and other measures. On the general topic.....I don't know why we have to discuss all the bad decisions, in order to discuss some good ones (or not good ones, depending on you feel about these three decisions). That seems like a tough bar to cross for every conversation.
  20. Mike Sixel
    why wouldn't you allow it? Suicide should be legal anyway. It's stupid, imo, that we tell old people that are suffering that it is wrong to move on.

    Seems unlikely anyone signs Richie at this point.....the link below is the nicest thing I've read about this one.... https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/08/21/richie-incognito-arrested-for-disorderly-conduct-threats/
  22. Mike Sixel
    That was my feeling also......

    Really good article in the Athletic about Drake.....here is one snippet (sub required): One major-league evaluator recently said his club currently rates Drake as the third-best reliever on the Twins behind Trevor Hildenberger and Taylor Rogers and slightly ahead of Addison Reed and Gabriel Moya. https://theathletic.com/481757/2018/08/21/oliver-drake-twins-most-traveled-man-in-baseball-brewers-indians-angels-blue-jays/

    JT hurt again....hopefully it is minor....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Mostly as a AAAA player from what I read, yes. If you know, and I know, then I'd guess teams know* *know, think, believe, whatever......the point is that teams know waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than we do. Are they always right? Of course not, or there wouldn't be so many bad trades and draft picks, but they know way more than we do.
