    I am much more excited about the pitchers than the hitters in AA or AAA.....but if Buxton can't hit at all, Granite or Wade MIGHT hit enough, though I am skeptical. I don't see Walker doing much in the majors, and I think the jury is out on Vielma's ability to hit..... OTOH, I think Gonsalves, Stewart, Jay and Jorge area all legit MLB prospects, and Meija will start games in MN next year. The RPs need something to change in development, but there is talent.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Only if you think the team is competing next year.....you think they'll go from 70ish wins to 85+ in one year?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Except "qualified" is stupid, imo.....there aren't even close to 150 qualified starting pitchers every year. Right now there are all of 91 qualified pitchers.......
  4. Mike Sixel
    Having participated....I love this post.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Heh, well, I haven't done that part yet.
  6. Mike Sixel
    No, angst because they aren't using every penny to get guys.....either a handful of the top guys, or lots and lots of guys.....my point should have been clear, this is one path to acquire talent, and they Twins, so far, have not gone in this year totally.
  7. Mike Sixel
    BTW, I'm in MN this week "for work". It's nice to get them to pay for me to travel to see my family and friends.......that said, wow, I had totally forgotten what humidity feels like in just 10 weeks. I won't miss humidity either.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Fair, but there are only 25 of those for another 3-4 weeks......but Molitor is the manager, as long as Santana is here*, he plays...... *I can type "here" this week, I am in MN.....for work......it's just a coincidence I get to see my kid, mom, dad, friends......
  9. Mike Sixel
    "I don't want to know if I am injured"? really? ugh...... Is that really up to him?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Bah, it's not like international signings turn into Sano, Kepler, or even Polanco types....why bother?
  11. Mike Sixel
    At some point....is he going on the DL?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Heck, I might even do it long term.......unless your league values defense......Kepler will probably out hit Buxton for some time...but steal less bases.
  13. Mike Sixel
    You need to put some value on the flexibility....it isn't zero. Also, if you own the business, 9MM more in money is nothing to sneeze at, and in a season you aren't going to compete, and can't buy a good FA, more profit = good. Finally, Meyer is almost 28......he has pitched like 40 innings in the last 12 months......he has been hurt a lot over his time here, he's tall, he can't control his pitches..... Yes, there is a lottery ticket there, but is that lottery ticket really worth much at all?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Except he didn't really have a minor league record of success either.......again, if you plan Santana, you aren't playing whom? Buxton? Rosario? Kepler? Escobar? Polanco? Sano?
  15. Mike Sixel
    How is someone not yet 29 pushing 30? He has 14 starts this year. He has 7 with 3 or less earned runs given up. He has 4 with 4 earned runs given up. He has 3 with more than 4 given up. At that ratio, he's no borderline 5........I'm sorry, he's just not that bad.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Plouffe isn't here now, and you seemed to be saying it is hard to play Polanco now. I thought.
  17. Mike Sixel
    See, I found it entertaining....so, ya, I don't agree. Plus, he's a rookie. It was posted on their roto site, where people go for content like this on rookies, so they can decide if they should be trading him or what....... I mean, do we need any articles at all, really? edit: jinx
  18. Mike Sixel
    And who plays? More people doesn't help your stance there isn't room for him to play now.......
  19. Mike Sixel
    Pretty insulting, frankly. It means he's not likely to hit for this much power, unless he's an outlier.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And in 2 or 4 weeks.........then what do you do with Polanco?
  21. Mike Sixel
    There are 25 spots.....what do you do when Plouffe comes back up? Even if you cut Boshers or Milone.....you still have "too many" guys that need to play. Heck, I'd argue that it is hard to find a spot for Polanco right now.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Santana is not the worst player by fWAR this year....not close......
  23. Mike Sixel
    I hope not......I'd just waive Plouffe at this point and hope someone takes him. If not, cut him. Cold to be sure. If Sano is here, Plouffe should not be here next year. I'm assuming Sano is here. I agree, the combo isn't perfect.....but there should be room to keep Sano, Dozier, Vargas, Polanco all playing 80% or so of the time. Dozier doesn't need to play every day.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Polanco plays 80% of the games between 3B, 2B, DH, and maybe even OF (not my top choice at all). Plouffe plays 3B when Polacno isn't, some DH, and sits around a lot.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Does Meyer need to be on a roster next year? I don't know....but that would influence my grade in favor of the Twins.....
