    http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-power-rankings-time-to-reset-our-thinking-with-one-third-of-the-season-gone/ This guy thinks the Twins are 9th best right now, and that they can contend for a WC.

    I agree, I was merely pointing out my utter shock about how UZR is scoring him. About median in UZR/150 shocked me.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Good point on the pinch hitting for sure!
  4. Mike Sixel
    he's plus 1.3 in UZR/150. That's not good compared to other RFs.....I just looked at fangraphs, and was shocked to see his defensive "score" as a RF.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Isn't Grossman the RH DH? he should be, imo. Not much power, but he avoids outs very well. I do agree, Garver could possibly help this team, but I'm not sure I'd want him to DH over Grossman right now.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Have you compared Castro to other catchers? He's a couple hits from being median for catchers on offense.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure "rift" and "appears to not be on the same page (in use of these RPs)" is the same thing.... Which, perhaps, I did not make clear. The fact they sent down Rucinski right away isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for bringing him up in the first place, and playing w/o Vargas for 10 days. Seems like a high price to pay.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Interestingly, UZR hates Kepler this year! I had no idea. It's clear, imo, that the defense is helping with run prevention. It's not clear the pitchers are actually pitching better (other than Berrios).
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on that!
  10. Mike Sixel
    Look, we disagree. If you can't pitch with a 6 run lead, when the bullpen is supposedly gassed, you shouldn't be up. I base it on that. If you can only be trusted to pitch when your team is down by more than 4 runs, or whatever mark you think, then the FO shouldn't call you up. But, since they did, and we are told they pitching geniuses over and over on this site, they must have felt he could pitch with a 6 run lead. Can't we just disagree with each on this?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I would rather give Wade a chance to play LF....as Rosario, imo, just can't seem to hit enough.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Granite and Wade>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Palka, IMO. they can play good or very good defense, and they can get on base. This part of the list has guys that will play in the majors for sure.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I like Lewis. I just want Wright or Greene more (with all my time spent scouting them, I feel very confident......hahahaha).
  14. Mike Sixel
    LAA is terrible w/o Trout. No excuse not to win 2. As for today? Well, Houston did a great job of rebuilding. they are clearly a better team.
  15. Mike Sixel
    And I know you know I was sarcastic. We don't agree, that's cool with me.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree. RPs used to throw 100 pitches all the time. Look, I don't love how Molitor manages, and yes, some RPs have been over used (not for the year, but in games in a row or close to in a row)......but 100 innings is not horrible usage. As for this game, if you don't trust someone with a 6 run lead, then he shouldn't be on the roster. The bigger issue for me is that it would appear the FO and the manager still are not on the same page.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I see a player got a concussion, and is on the DL now.....totally worth it though!
  18. Mike Sixel
    It can be. But, here are the pitchers this FO has picked: Breslow, Belisle, Wilk, Rucinski, Haley (did I miss any?). Should I feel more, or less, confident than I did before the year started?
  19. Mike Sixel
    And yet, only six games. Pathetic.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Correct. Only old, bad, players, not previously in the system, are worthy of promotion. Try to keep up.
  21. Mike Sixel
    So, three, four , more years before Molitor trusts him?
  22. Mike Sixel
    People posted this spring the Astros weren't real, or ahead of the Twins. I am still laughing over that one.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Seems to be a lot of baseball talk tonight, everyone ok? Did the rules change while I was in Minnesota last week?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Wow.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If the twins are out of it, Houston seems like a good trading partner for Santana or Santiago.
