    Who is Matt Belisle leading? Name the young pitchers on the roster that need a leader at this point? There are, what, two or three with less than two year's experience? If this was actually a young team, I'd get people's point on this topic. But, it's not. Oh, and ESan is about to return.....he's 35.

    six of 25 players can't be "accents".....that;s 25% of your roster. This "there were injuries" thing is what happens to every team. I've posted it before, but the Twins are median for WAR lost to injury this year....and plenty of teams that lost more WAR than them are in the playoffs...... As for Buxton and Sano, mostly agree. BUT, neither has been close to healthy/consistent in their careers.

    I'm not sure we should rely on valuations at this point.....its what kept people out of FB and AMZN and others.......I get your point, but I'm not sure I agree.

    Why do this? Why not allow bullpenning?

    Can't trade for next year's money. But you can for this year's. I don't know who is left. KLAW recently answered my question about Gibson by saying he thought they could compete next year, so he would hold him. I would deal him for the right package. As for his worth? He's projected to be better than any brewer starter the rest of the year. I'd easily deal Lynn, odorrizi, Rodney, Duke, Santana.

    Several years ago I proposed having two or three good starters, and a bunch of relief pitchers between AAA and the majors. I still think, for a team with little starting pitching, it is an experiment worth trying. As for the short starter, I think two innings of him makes sense. Get those better hitters out with less runs.... hopefully

    oooh winnah! I didn't think of that one.

    there is/was an actual MLB player with this name....I'm assuming you mean the "lawyer"...
  10. Mike Sixel
    Wade Wilson? He might still have an arm. Wade Boggs? Probably not as good a hitter as other options. Frankly, the list of famous Wades (first or last name) is not the best list....

    Team is in a huge slump....while the math is mediocre, trying a hit and run is not the worst idea ever, imo.
  12. Mike Sixel
    In play run(s) are sweet words when the Twins are batting.

    Not likely. It's got a lot of content, but I am not in LOVE with it. Not sure what I want in a sports' news site, but that's not it exactly. Plus, I'm just culling out subscriptions left and right....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I've gone in and out.....really don't know what to do there. So, no? Sort of? It's a hard one to pin down for me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    They have more work to do on the technical end for sure.....sorry, still should have posted it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    PR might be strong....but the media is HIGHLY incentivized to support major businesses, for many reasons (not just sports teams).

    "Actually, I meant wouldn't'n't...."......not actually a quote....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Ultimately, it will be Kirilloff’s bat that makes or breaks him, and he looks on track to be a force in the middle of a future Twins’ lineup. This is from an article in The Athletic...so subscription. It's about 6 OF in the minors to pay attn to.....

    game ends after inning 1?
  20. Mike Sixel
    maybe the Red Sox will find themselves in on Brian Dozier and the other available second-base options. The Phillies are certain to check in on most every reliever available, and ought to see if they can land either Twins shortstop Eduardo Escobar or Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-trade-deadline-yankees-need-pitching-dodgers-next-move-and-more-storylines-to-watch/

    While Ervin Santana hasn’t pitched in the Majors this season after undergoing surgery to repair a tendon in his right middle finger this February, scouts are planning to closely watch the Twins right-hander’s 2018 debut this week, Passan notes. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/07/yankees-trade-rumors-brandon-drury-relievers.html

    Per request.....new thread! this seems like a really odd post to start with, which makes sense for a thread about the Twins and Internet... abel 3:11 will the twins move rodney? Dan Szymborski 3:11 I suspect they do 3:12 I really really need Rodney to play for awhile. After Ichiro's retirement, I'm down to three players older than me: Bartolo Colon, Fernando Rodney, and Joaquin Benoit https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-7-23-18/

    I'd say if the media wants my money....they should start asking hard questions. Otherwise, they are just PR machines for the team (having worked with media people, I know it's the second one).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Hader said bad things, but apologized Hader should be allowed to play MLB, with no punishment No one should give a standing ovation to someone in this instance. Forgive? Sure. But applaud? I don't get it.
  25. Mike Sixel
    No rookies to speak of, no second year players hardly....and terrible veterans and players that just never play. I agree. They are giving us neither a present day product, nor a look at a future product.
