    28 school shootings this year. Unreal.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I pretty much flip flop on this all the time. I see both arguments.

    v2micca: Toronto is treading water at .500 right now, but in the Brutal AL East, their path to the post-season is unlikely. When do you think they become serious about moving Donaldson? 10:26 Jeff Sullivan: If and when they’re worse than they are right now 10:27 Jeff Sullivan: You can assume they’re worse than the Yankees and Red Sox, but that still leaves one wild-card slot open. Who out there is significantly better than the Jays? The Angels? The Angels have their own issues, and for now they’re only three games ahead 10:27 Jeff Sullivan: Jays won’t be too worried about the Twins, Mariners, A’s, or the rest of them

    These last few responses show just how hard this decision is....rehabilitation sounds great, until the person moves into your neighborhood, or is on your favorite team.....this is, as I said above, not an easy decision imo. Because of the headaches, I'd pass on him as a team.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Pretty much how I feel also. I'm much more interested in how the players are doing, than how the teams are doing. Like, I'm pretty sure I don't care at all about the teams.

    John 9:41 Should the Twins make a play for Ramos or Lucroy? Jeff Sullivan 9:41 Don't know why either would be available right now, with the Rays and A's both right around .500 9:42 Both those teams have better records than the Twins do! 9:43 My dream is that the Twins give an opportunity to Willians Astudillo but I know that's far-fetched 9:44 They'll probably do something like trade for Caleb Joseph and leave Mitch Garver as the No. 1 Garver, to his credit, has real offensive potential https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-5-18-18/

    That's what I thought, but someone said it was three plus. I'd have to think harder on Lewis for two plus, given how bad Buxton is and Sano and his health.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd trade Lewis if you can control Realmuto for this year, and three more. Yes. You are only losing two years of control, and getting back a young, all Star, catcher. Lewis is in A ball.
  9. Mike Sixel
    So three plus years? Even better. One of the to catchers in the game, for three plus years? I give up anyone in the minors for that.
  10. Mike Sixel
    So much love for this response
  11. Mike Sixel
    Anyone else listening and trying to figure out their essential songs?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Correct. There will never be a time of perfect information about the future, but if they don't act out of fear that Sano and Buxton aren't great, well, when would they?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why are we talking McGill? He's doing his job. There are other options.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well, he caught Berrios all thru AAA, maybe even AA (can't recall).....I don't think this is an issue at all. Others will not agree with me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    How many more horrible starts would you keep him? And, anyone that wants King Felix at this point is not paying attention the last few years. Most of those teams, though not all, are NOT playoff contendors, or if they are, are so good elsewhere they can take chances. Also, do those teams have Slegers and Gonsalves in AAA right now? I might want 3-4 of those names, maybe, and not as starters right now. Some of them are inexperienced enough to have options, and can be sent down by their current teams....
  16. Mike Sixel
    He doesn't have to pretend to be hurt....he can just accept an assignment to AAA. It's possible he can get right, no doubt. I'd rather have him trying to get right in AAA than MN right now. I still believe this team can make the playoffs, but throwing away every fifth start isn't going to cut it.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I agree with that. They are in good shape right now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He's about a million times the hitter Buxton is. Sano is the new Mauer.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I see what KLAW was saying about not worrying about kirriloff now. Dude is a hitter.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Tough call. I too believe in second chances. But, I don't know that I want to root for him on my team. I certainly wouldn't say he shouldn't get a job, and baseball is a job.... But I don't want to root for him. Tough call. KLAW, iirc, won't even rate him. But I could be remembering that wrong.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say they should do anything. I merely pointed out they aren't young compared to other teams. Nothing more or less. Well, I did say their she and experience shouldn't be an excuse anymore also. They have a good mix of ages, probably. My post was, quite literally, pointing out there aren't young. Nothing more or less.
  22. Mike Sixel
    In general, this makes sense. But, as we know, mid market teams have windows and cycles. We've learned over and over that they can't compete forever. Do we really think the window extends beyond Sano and Buxton and Dozier and Mauer and Rosario? That would be unusual for a mid market team, I think.
  23. Mike Sixel
    That's my point.... The Twins seem young, until you start looking at other teams. They are just like most other teams. Unless people are arguing most teams are young, but then I don't know what young means, as I consider it a comparative term
  24. Mike Sixel
    It's not my wish. My wish is he's great. Most players turn down trips to the minors, if they can. I think my realistic scenario is he says no, and difficult decisions need to be made. These are hard decisions, no doubt. But, I can't see a path where he is suddenly good. So, I agree, if he'd go to the minors, I'd do that. If not, I'd let him walk and take my chances on Santana and Gonsalves and Slegers being better.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say they were old. There is space between old and young. These aren't numbers I made up, all you have to do is read fangraphs or follow one of their former writers on Twitter. Or, run the numbers like I did. They aren't young. They are about median. The Red Sox have five regulars 26 or younger. Including a 21 year old, for example, but no one thinks of them as young. I ran the numbers. I read others that did the same. It's a fact, not an opinion. The other teams are not stagnant. Many of them called up young players since the start of last year. The Twins have not added any young position players in the last two years. That's not a criticism, it just is.
