    To those not wanting to add a great catcher.... Where do you see the team adding players in the next three years while Sano and Buxton are here? Where do you see them getting better? Realmuto is controlled for two years it this one. He's no rental.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Gordon is a top fifty prospect on several lists, before this year's start. He's not a mediocre prospect. And, how do you know someone is giving up a top twenty five prospect for him? Maybe they will, but maybe not. I would add Garver and another mid prospect to that offer, like Thorpe. Get a low A guy from Miami with high variance.
  3. Mike Sixel
    The Yankees and Red Sox players that age don't seem to need time to warm up. Why should the Twins get this excuse? They aren't a young team.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Every year people worry any the forty man, and every year they leave a ton of guys unprotected. And that's in the off season when teams are looking to add players. I'm not worried.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Or agree to go down.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Of course I'd keep him if he agreed to go down. I don't know if that is realistic.
  7. Mike Sixel
    certainly possible. I hope they aren't doing that......I feel the worst for Molitor and Hughes' teammates, followed by Hughes, followed by the FO, and not at all for the owners....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe Hughes couldn't get in earlier, nor that he only pitched one inning. What is his role, other than "we are paying him a lot, so we ahve to keep him", exactly? Adding a minor leaguer in his place increases payroll by 500K or so a year.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    why not give up on him? Slegers or Gonsalves literally can't be worse than unwinnable as starters. Why not cut him and move on? He's shown no improvement all year. If not now, how many more starts like this until you would move on?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Of course not....but he's a 2+ year "fix", not a one year rental. If you never add players until the last minute, you'll never add players. How would you fix the holes, without making any trades, and not signing long term free agents? Because no team is built only through the draft. Do people only want ot make trades if it is the LAST PIECE?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Some of us were calling for Realmuto before the season started.... This isn't just reactionary
  12. Mike Sixel
    Baffled at this bullpen usage. He does know there are a lot of games left, right?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Thanks....
  14. Mike Sixel
    And add in the war for the pitcher and replacement for Gordon. You aren't not replacing them either. You are basically arguing, as far as I can tell, never trade top prospects. That's a fine stance that I disagree with, especially when getting a great player under multi year control.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not as many as the other team.... But probably too many to win now
  16. Mike Sixel
    Really wanted a Hughes vulture win.... Looks a bit less likely now
  17. Mike Sixel
    When Hughes gets the win, he'll be laughing at you doubters.... Or not.
  18. Mike Sixel
    You keep typing we are trying to replace Sano with him.... No.... Castro and Garver are replaced. It's a huge step up from them. It's not about Sano and Buxton at all, other than trying to surround them with great players, unlike sitting on Mauer and morneau and not adding talent.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agree on all that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, I wanted them not to burn through the rest of the bullpen. And, this front office put Hughes on this roster.... So they have to use him at some point. I'd cut him.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not sure if that is good or bad....
  22. Mike Sixel
    A 3.6 war catcher will help way more than a closer. Way more. And he's not old, and controlled for two and two thirds years.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I am still baffled by not seeing Hughes, given Lynn's start.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ha. Yes he is. My bad
  25. Mike Sixel
    an even worse start, apparently
