    Which is one path I said I'd endorse.... as for "perfect information", I think you know hat I mean. If they wait for another 18 months of data on Sano and Buxton, we will have lost another 1.5 years of their window (good or bad window)....since if they are great, they won't be able to afford them both and Rosario and Berrios..... this isn't like another business where the assets are enduring, or even depreciating (maybe kind of like that)....Buxton and Sano are only controlled for a few more years. If they wait for better information, they lose a year. I thought that was pretty clear in my post...... So, pick a path. Either they are trusting Sano and Buxton become elite again next year, or trade Gibson and Odo and anyone else not part of 2020 competitiveness. But, pick a path. As for patience....they haven't won a playoff series in quite some time, at some point, they just aren't good at their job.....

    you'd have to ask teh team, in the middle of a playoff race, that sent Gray down that question.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Well, clearly I agree....but they sent him down, so they must not think he's helping them right now.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea....maybe they take on some from next year....they are going to drop like 60MM next year.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, they sent him down, and they are 3.5 games out of the playoffs for one....so I think they'll want MLB talent in return. And, my original offer included a minor league player and possibly taking back part of one of their bad contracts...... They aren't dealing Gray for prospects, imo, they are going to want MLB talent plus a minor league player. How about Gibson, Rodney, Gonsalves , and take back around 10MM in some bad contract?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Gibson, Rodney, ok prospect? that might get it done.....or, you know, take back one of their terrible contracts......and reduce the MN cost....
  7. Mike Sixel
    A guy can dream......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Colorado is back in the hunt.....I really want Jon Gray. Wonder if Lynn, Dozier, and Rodney (and taking back part of a bad contract from CO) would get it done? If not, I'd do Gibson and Dozier....

    BTW, I would have typed I really love John's posts, but there would have to be one this year to do so.... hint, hint...

    For those that don't like Twitter, try only following like 10 people you really enjoy following. Once I did that, it was worth it....mostly. And, thanks Seth, for doing this!

    all time history. They could lost 110 - 120 games this year. All time bad teams. Not even really competitive at all.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm conflicted on Gonsalves. On one hand, he's been pretty good. On the other, ignoring the stat lines, not sure he has great stuff..... Rooker has no defensive position, I think that's part of why he's not higher ranked, like some want. Sometimes it's like defense doesn't matter at all for some people in prospect rankings.....so he's probably in the right spot, if not high, frankly. Too early to say on Lanarch, but FG has him higher on the Twins' list, so it's not insane to have him here....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I thought I made that pretty clear.....I love it when fans are fans.

    My focus is on not pushing the goal posts all the time. There are times to rebuild, and times to go for it (especially if one believes medium markets go in cycles). Either we believe in Sano and Buxton, or we don't. But if we wait for perfect information, it will be less likely to be successful, because we have not added talent around them. And if we to find out they are bad, and didn't trade Gibson at his peak, we lose value. So, pick a path that isn't the "play not to lose" path, that dooms mediocre teams to stay mediocre. It's not totally fair to say my focus is next year, actually. I'd be ok if they sell off Gibson and Odorizzi...but then play the young guys and get them up here....to gather information and get them more ready for when the window is real. I'd also be ok if they decided to trust Sano and Buxton, and traded for Realmuto and signed the 2-4 best FAs they can next year. I have my doubts about that plan, but I wouldn't kill them for it.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's good for fans to have hope, if they want. Go for it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It's always ok to like anyone....always.

    Mauer is 28th among 1B in offense this year....how does bringing him back make them winners? he's not good anymore. And, I thought we were discussing next year's team. Sure, if they can find someone that will help a lot past next year, sign those types....but that won't help next year at all.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If people think 3/30 is fair for Esco....why would he turn down the QO? He'd only have to do 2/15 to make more money over the next three years....... No way I QO either one.
  19. Mike Sixel
    12000 followers on Twitter? Wow. y'all need to do a better job of driving them here somehow....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I have zero interest in paying Dozier 17MM next year.

    England got what it deserved. They didn't even try to score most of that game
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd think anyone, in any system, you get for Dozier will have warts.....but I understand your point
