    I think he doesn't know what to do with his time now, as stated above...... As long as he doesn't take an oppo away from someone, I don't care at all why it is happening.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Ya, my only hope was his "bad" year.......and this is a Polanco thread.....but ya. And no, Sale is more expensive, imo, as he's just better.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Seriously....15 people did not vote for Maddux. Wow.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Polanco and your 2nd or 3rd favorite AA pitcher for Archer? He hasn't been great this year.......
  5. Mike Sixel
    I was just quoting from the article......and yes, shifting % is not my number 1 issue with him.

    On Kepler today: Bill 1:10 I thought the two pieces on Kepler were interesting last week. Could Kepler's pitch recognition ability account for any of his unexpected power, or does the batted ball/expected power profile (both articles from last week on Kepler) mean that despite advanced pitch recognition he is still not making the type of contact that would lead you to expect more than 15 or so homers in a season. Where do you see his power/average falling august fagerstrom 1:11 I could see elite pitch recognition as something that leads to a player outperforming what scouts perceived to be his true raw/game power because it would lead to more consistently barreling the ball Writing about Kepler reminded me a lot of Kyle Seager

    The real question is why Polanco spent so much time in AAA this year.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    While I would love to get an "ace".....It is super risky to trade a star hitter for a star pitcher. Pitchers get hurt. A Lot. If you knew Sale would be healthy, or whomever, sure, teams would do that.....but imagine how expensive pitchers would be if we could keep them healthy...

    from today's chat (ouch): Robot 12:12 Worst front office in mlb not including Arizona august fagerstrom 12:13 I got to wondering the other day how the Twins have ever developed a quality major leaguer
  10. Mike Sixel
    anything major with Wade? And, thanks for all the updates!
  11. Mike Sixel
    whoa. So, he'll be in MN in 3-4 weeks? wow. (clearly a guess, but I think it is true). Congrats to both.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I have always had a fan crush on Castro.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Well, that would be Michael Bloomberg, even though he is a "politician", imo. Outside there, Alec Baldwin? The Rock? David Robinson (aka, the Admiral)?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree, I doubt anyone saw the spending doing this when the deal was signed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I would, but I'm not the GM (and everyone should be happy about that).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Awful. Just. Awful. are you Bork form the FG chats?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I admit that they are making me think they should keep Suzuki next year.......but I don't love/like that idea at all....
  18. Mike Sixel
    so, a national Jesse Ventura before he went batty* *I mean, some people think that.....not me.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I admit, Mauer is playing much better than I thought he would. Very happy about that.
  20. Mike Sixel
    as pointed out, it is hard to judge the last 5-7 years......so maybe they are taking a good path. I would have preferred one year of going all in.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Predictions made, which is ridiculous since we don't even know who the GM is: Park is in the minors or on another team next year. Dozier is here, and the 2B next year Plouffe is traded or non-tendered this off season. Sano is the 3B next spring and also plays DH (no OF, w/o an in game emergency) Mauer is the 1B next year. Vargas is the regular DH. Polanco plays SS, 3B, DH, 2B (from most games to least) Escobar is the bench guy, and plays SS when Polanco does not
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, good luck to him, but I can't see how he will succeed.
  23. Mike Sixel
    amazing!
  24. Mike Sixel
    I guess no one is dealt. And, I don't think that's a huge issue at this point.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He's not bad, and he's healthy. I like both of those.
