    that's next year's slogan.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I thought it was in teh Reusse column, but that may be his opinion, and not something they said. But I can't think of one other rational explanation at this point....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Love our veterans, providing leadership to no youth, since no youth is on the roster. Admittedly, it doesn't flow easily off the tongue....

    This greatly undervalues Gibson. He's healthy, and made an adjustment that worked last year. He would net at least one top 75 player and a high variance flyer. That first player would be in the Twins top three prospects. It also over values Dozier. They couldn't get that for him when he was good, and had years of control left. They'll be lucky to get one guy in their top ten, as many here and nationally predicted would happen when they didn't trade him before. Rightly or wrongly. I also think Lynn would net a top 200 player, around tenth in the Twins'list.

    Slashing payroll is pocketing the money.... They won't lose money next year if the payroll is the same, they'll just make less. That was exactly my point. Payroll is going to drop, a lot, I'd guess.

    I like a lot of this, other than Mauer. He's done, imo. Thanks!
  7. Mike Sixel
    I just hope he stays up. And Cave keeps starting.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Mauer isn't good at baseball. And they don't have a second baseman under contract for next year. Or a DH, and the catching is bad. These are all facts. Unless you consider Grossman a DH, I guess. Are these disputable?
  9. Mike Sixel
    You think they planned on punting nearly all of Sano and Buxton time? No way. If so, you trade them for insane returns last year. If they were aiming for 2020, they are really doing it wrong.
  10. Mike Sixel
    No real surprise, they had to get the big number firmed up first.
  11. Mike Sixel
    we're going to nitpick on that? he was the number 1 prospect in the game.....and isn't anything yet. Maybe he will be, but his record looks pretty bad compared to other recent top prospects that have made the majors over the last few years.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Jay's too high. he's 24 and can't get out AA hitters as a RP. Awful pick, and not in hindsight. Stewart? I have no idea, but it's possible he's one of those guys that induces soft contact....we can hope. I have no idea why Jorge was cut, or whatever, even after clearing waivers. must be something....though I always figured he had to move to RP sooner rather than later.
  13. Mike Sixel
    2B, 1B, DH, C for sure right now....so that's 4 for next year, at least.
  14. Mike Sixel
    shut the thread down, we have a winner.
  15. Mike Sixel
    trying to distract you from being frustrated by the actual team, I'd guess. consider it a feature!
  16. Mike Sixel
    i think it is the pitchers....but the FO has to make it clear that they don't get to decide, and that they want them to give Garver more of a chance......
  17. Mike Sixel
    thanks for reminding me!
  18. Mike Sixel
    Who went down for Slegers? I'm sure it wasn't Belisle being cut....probably a young player....
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to be impressed, given the Belisle decision, and their refusal to use the AAA RP shuttle plan. But, they get 1 more year from me before I really start deciding.....but ya, the results aren't stellar so far.
  20. Mike Sixel
    to be clear, I want Rooker in AAA....I don't know if I care if he's in MN this year, unless the clubhouse gets cleaned out..... btw, KLAW said in his chat today that wanting Lewis in high A was impatience, which was odd because two answers above this he said we are seeing more younger players come up and succeed.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    that extra 7.5MM from the Hughes trade of a draft pick will be pocketed. zero doubt.
  22. Mike Sixel
    i am really shocked that Kepler isn't better....not a ton better, just like. half a WAR better so far this year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Brett: You’ve always said to be patient with Buxton. Is it okay to officially think this is what he will be offensively for the majority of his career? Keith Law: Buxton has barely played this year. I’m curious what you “officially” think he’s done this season. Logan: Any specific reason the Twins are having so much patience with promoting Royce Lewis? Keith Law: He’s 19. I’d say arguing for a promotion to high-A is impatience.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I found a site that rates the impact of DL stints on teams.....and it does not back up the idea the Twins' problems are "mostly" or even " a lot" about injuries. now, it won't include Polanco, but if he's a 4 WAR player, they lost 2 WAR there..... I don't know if this is a great analysis or a good one, or (less likely) a completely inaccurate one. What it does for me is point out how other teams are doing, which is not something I pay close attention to, as I am more into looking at the Twins than how they compare to other teams.... https://www.rosterresource.com/mlb-disabled-list-tracker/

    3:08 Dansby Samsonite: Has prospect evaluation improved over the years? Are the rates of busts going down in any sort of trackable way? 3:09 Eric A Longenhagen: I think you could argue it’s gotten harder as player development has improved in a way that makes prospects more volatile.
