    I believe one team is basically saying "pay for 10 games, keep coming until we win 10 times" or something like that.....should the Twins try that?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Terrible signing. Said so at the time....check out some of his classmates.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/ranking-the-prospects-traded-at-the-deadline-2/ all ranked.....with control, the Twins got the best pitcher.....too bad he has control issues.
  4. Mike Sixel
    if they promote some younger players, and if the MOY plays them....I'm with you.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Van, if you had a kid, would you want her to be a sports' fan?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Fair points, all. Should we just ignore vile tweets? I know you aren't arguing this....but I'm not sure what you are suggesting we do instead of pointing them out an condemning them? and yes, I'm not a fan of the digging for bad actions in the past, as a general rule.....that said, the mob is also responsible for the "me too" movement, in some ways. I hate "the mob" as a rule, but I'm not sure saying "we shouldn't be the mob" is enough for me....what is the alternative?

    I'd like Morrison and Grossman off the roster. Grossman is not part of a winning team next year, let's see if Wade is. If not, then you 100% know you need to sign a 1B (you can't count on Buxton). Morrison is not part of the present or future. Call up the new guy, or Rooker (it's not going to hurt his development, imo)...... I don't see either happening.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Should really open room for Wade to come up also, and take Grossman's place, imo.
  9. Mike Sixel
    yup. I would want ot have the best chance for a healthy brain as possible.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Yup, we can't really know...... but, I'm not interested in tons of number 5 starters, which is what the Twins had in the minors most recently. I have no idea if some of them could have been RPs.....to me, Taylor Rodgers is the perfect example. He was never going to be a legit MLB starter. I don't know enough about the two you mention, yet, to have a firm opinion. But, they don't scream 4 pitch mix guys with really good stuff.
  11. Mike Sixel
    but why are we looking at RISP and only RISP? I don't understand..... Let's just look at his WAR, or his offense overall.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd seriously consider picking up Brad Miller, if he can play 2B at all and is an ok clubhouse guy......though if he could play 2B at all, why would MILW cut him? I'm confused.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I am hoping they move some of these pitchers to RP, and see if they pick up speed and can be useful. IMO, the Twins have waited way too long on some starters to do this, over the years. Hoping this FO is different.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I too would like to see Wade up. Now that Buxton's season is probably over.....and it isn't like Wade is so young that losing a year of control matters (nor is he a superstar in the making). Ya, I'd call him up now.
  15. Mike Sixel
    where do you think they get the rankings? And, I don't have access to "skilled scouts" that work for teams....... As for how reliable they are, more than we usually give them credit for. The top ranked guys tend to produce a ton of WAR, relative to the bottom ranked ones......with outliers occurring. Those outliers occur for teams too, otherwise you'd never have a lopsided wtf trade, ever. So, feel free to ignore anyone online sources offering free opinions on players, I find them interesting.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Too bad he bats at other times too. Like, this RISP discussion has what to do with whether he is valuable compared to other first baseman? OTOH, not sure they have a real alternative. I'd consider going a one year deal with him....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Based on what they did this last offseason, increasing the budget to its highest level ever, and trading a prospect for Odo? I just don't agree with this take.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I like Gordon, but even I'd keep him down for 2 months next year, unless he positively blows up this year....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I did try to ask that question today.....but was late to the chat....I'll try harder! I wonder what the ratio of 40FV guys it takes to actually get a 45 in return (I doubt that has ever happened.....).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Bench him until 100% healthy. 100%. Then send him to FTM.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not exactly into playing rookies and development. He's the wrong manager for this team, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    great post! I'd add Rooker and Gordon to this list.....given what might happen to their positions next year.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    If the OL can block at all, this team should be really, really, really, really, good.
  24. Mike Sixel
    BTW, the board, on Fangraphs, is up to date live..... https://www.fangraphs.com/scoutboard.aspx?draft=&type=&pos=&team=min Seven new players in the top 30.....two in the top 20 (IIRC)......not bad, not great, just good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd retire too.....but some people just want to keep going.
