    KLAW has a new insider up..... If Wright looks like this the rest of the year, back in the running for 1:1 kendall, not so much, can't make contact, as several of us pointed out. Faedo? Inconsistent. there's more....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Polanco isn't a kid fresh to the majors for the first time this year. Like I said, plenty of teams aren't afraid to see what rookies can do. Us? We like 35+ yo RPs.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    don't agree at all. Hokey crap is pretty condescending way to view what parents have to deal with in having small children at a game for 3+ hours......
  4. Mike Sixel
    Really? that's great. I hope as long as they are bad, no one goes to the games. Also, as long as they keep adding bad bars and making it more xpensive and less family friendly.
  5. Mike Sixel
    right. Vargas and Palka. It's not like Palka is some prized prospect whose future they will ruin if he's not ready yet. The fact they are this thin is part of why the old FO needed to go, imo. They should not be in a position, this far into the rebuild, where DanSan looks good, and they have no hitter in AAA that is ready at all.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Your old stat line is online someplace? thankfully, mine were before a time that would be likely....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Wait, that's a thing? Mauer Sucks!* *did I win?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Can't get the Espanol version to load so far today. oh well...
  9. Mike Sixel
    Is there any evidence he needs that? Why assume he can't handle it? LOTS of teams put young players in positions of importance, and it works. We'll just disagree on this.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Sucks. Good luck to him.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Putting aside my thoughts on bans.... It does seem wrong to me that only players are punished. One of our favorite teams had a manager cover up use, if the stories are true.... I'm not sure it is true teams are never punished. I'd argue Pitts is definitely going to feel the pain this year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree that would cause a problem. Call up a random guy, and put him at the end of the bullpen. It's not likely he's worse than Tonkin, is it? Even if you didn't call up a guy, you can go 3 games with 11 arms if needed. But, we know with certainty that having Dan San as your OF option, or PH option, does hurt the team. Now. today. In the future. We have no idea if Vargas or Palka is the answer, but it's kind of hard to tell while they are in AAA.
  13. Mike Sixel
    this, so much this. Tonkin is literally not used in games that matter. Chief could fill that role. Dan San could fill that role. Tepesch could. Boshers could. Anyone could, in an emergency. But avoiding fixing a known problem, to avoid possibly creating a short term problem (which I'd argue isn't real, Chargoi or others are as ready as tonkin or Breslow are, right now), is a bad way to steer a ship.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm also not convinced Grossman would be that bad again this year.....I also don't get why he isn't practicing at 1B every day...
  15. Mike Sixel
    Or maybe people are comparing Rosario's BABIP this year to last, and stating that it probably won't stay this low this year, based on previous years. As in, so far, he's not making great contact, but based on his past, that's not likely to continue. I won't comment on Buxton....
  16. Mike Sixel
    How so? offensively, he is putting up about 2 WAR as a DH.....that's quite high, actually. He put up over 1 WAR even being historically bad on D last year, something I doubt he could repeat. But as a DH, he's actually above average.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Like what?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Too bad. This roster isn't a winning roster. The sooner they get guys up who have a chance to be part of a winning team, the better. IMO, of course. Playing from fear seems odd, when you have 13 pitchers, and at least 4 or 5 that could come up now and be as effective as what they have at the back end.
  19. Mike Sixel
    given that those two either NEVER pitch, or only pitch when the Twins are down 4 runs or more, does it matter?
  20. Mike Sixel
    That would make him about median for corner OFers....a 730-750 OPS. I'd take a median OF right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    And? Any of those guys or Tepesch could do what Tonkin or Breslow are doing. Of course, neither of those have options, like Chargois, Burdi, Melo, and about 5 others do.
  22. Mike Sixel
    But Grossman's success isn't driven by unsustainable luck like Santana's was. His fall was predictable. What in Grossman's success looks like luck?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Given how terrible they have been at building talent the last 5 - 7 years (as in, they stink), I think questioning everything they do makes sense.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'd really like Polanco and Mauer switched, until Mauer starts hitting.
  25. Mike Sixel
    How so? Why can't they cut Tonkin or Breslow?
