    Not in the lineup.... On the roster. I can't blame Molitor for this
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand why Grossman is still on this roster
  3. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't do a rental if I was the Twins, not this year....I'm only dealing from way down on the list, or for players with more than 1 year left on their deal. The hard part is what position.....catcher and 1B and maybe MIF are about it, unless one is moving Sano to 1B full time, which isn't happening in A ball....

    I think KC was thinking there will be a ton of sellers, and they wanted to get ahead of the market. And they must like the players, which goes without saying, but I said it just in case....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Is it? I looked a couple times. I'll keep trying! Thanks.

    I never would have hire someone with no managerial experience to this level. It has often showed. While it would be great to hope the minors finish all the teaching, they don't anymore. Other managers have said as much. So, yes, some of the blame for their issues with fundamentals does fall on his shoulders. I didn't like the hire then, and haven't really seen any reason to change my mind.
  7. Mike Sixel
    No issues. I am genuinely surprised at this outcome, or step, I guess.

    Where have I done that? We disagree on some things, why make up things we don't disagree on? I do think someone will sign a player for a long deal, to stretch out the dollars. And I do think there will still be deals where teams expect to like the front of deal much more than the back....
  9. Mike Sixel
    That would require me to know people ... And for those people to like me....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this. Last year's class stunk also.... I don't know where this six year thing came in...arrieta got large money, but a short duration. I really think elite players will still get paid. I don't think that has really changed.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'd certainly have the TV on, if it were over the air....
  12. Mike Sixel
    more data, but yes, apparently I was wrong about Sano.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Other than Chief, no one is saying prospects aren't worth much. No one is saying only use one channel to acquire talent.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You read way too much into a simple statement. I'm literally not sure the league has changed. Darvish got real money. What has changed is teams are not willing to pay much for mediocre players, but I'm not certain they have stopped paying for elite players. Imo, we don't have enough data on that.

    mike sixel 2:24 how close to Cleveland would you have to be not to sell at the deadline if you were the Twins? Dan Szymborski 2:24 3> 3? ouch: Bob 2:58 What player on steroids can't hit a HR at yankee stadium? Dan Szymborski 2:58 Jason Tyner?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, it's just a normal day, imo. Neither good nor bad, just a day.
  17. Mike Sixel
    that's on the FO, and their filling the RP list with veterans w/o options.....something many people here suggested was a problem with their plan, and that yes, one year deals for RPs can be bad....
  18. Mike Sixel
    That was not the point of the post.... .250 puts him median in catchers BA. As for the rest, sure, it needs to be better....but really, saying a catcher that went 1-4 had a bad day seems off to me.....a rookie to boot.....but sure, no patience for a guy this site named player of the year one year in the minors....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I try hard not comment when posting.....still trying....hahahahahaha. Coach K 12:11 Twins window is now... never a better opportunity. Now Carrasco of tribe is out. Would a fair deal be Buxton for Machado, Gausman or Bundy, Cisco and Britton (3-1trade) be good for both? If Buxton comes back limping and not hitting his weight, many teams with questions about him will have their answer. To me Twins need to get luggage out for Buxton. He is what brings back enough to make pennant run. Your thoughts please. Travis Sawchik 12:12 There's zero chance of something like this happening. And since Buxton has already acquired a decent amount of service time, I'm not sure he's all that valuable to the Orioles. Bill 12:31 Alex Kirilloff looking great. does 60 game power seem reachable? Travis Sawchik 12:31 He's one of the biggest first-half prospect risers Joe 12:57 Sano for Gregory Polanco. Who says no? What's the strategy w/ Polanco in Pittsburgh? Travis Sawchik 12:57 Twins say no, I would guess

    NFL viewership is dropping slower than tv viewership overall......so, in context, I'm not sure it is dropping, as it were....
  21. Mike Sixel
    If Garver goes 1-4 all year, he's a catcher that hits .250. that would be a huge success compared to most catchers, especially for what is basically a first year player. What, exactly, do people expect?
  22. Mike Sixel
    The catcher was terrible in the minors for two years here. What should they have fun differently? They traded the outfielder for a guy they thought could be a starting catcher. What did they do wrong, in terms of patience? They didn't cut him, they traded him for something they thought was valuable.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What we do know is that they didn't. And the previous GM never made trades like that. And the one GM that did was fired. Until they break years of not doing something, it's hard to believe anything has changed. Also I don't care if they try to improve the team I care if they do improve the team. We also don't know, yet, if Darvish is a bust for sure. And even if he is, if you refuse to sign or trade people out of fear, you just aren't going to sign expensive people.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Great post
  25. Mike Sixel
    Again, zero people are saying that. Zero.
