    I'd have him playing 2nd and 3rd in Rochester right now. I like your idea a lot.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    This was actually asked and answered: Trainman 12:50 Can the twins realistically trade joe Mauer? Dan Szymborski 12:50 Not really.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Trainman 12:48 Kennys Vargas has been solid since he's been called up. Is he a long term piece there, or do you think park is the twins long term answer Dan Szymborski 12:48 Not a long term piece.

    Would I sell ABW for 15-20 million dollars, and free a roster spot for Berrios? Who would decline that deal?

    THERE IS NO ROOM FOR POLANCO!

    No idea....but the "experts" think it is a high price. The Cubs have lost 1 game (I think) they have led after inning 6 or 7..... So, ya, the team is "better", and they added real talent. I'd probably do it. They are young, and are great, and have a chance to win it all. If now is not the time to do a deal like this, it will never be time. That said, I would not root for Chapman if he was a Twin....

    Well, they are 12th (in the AL) in bullpen WAR for the year so far.....hard to say it is a good bullpen. If you prefer a leverage measure, like win probability.....they are 13th in the AL..... if you like ERA (ignoring inherited runners, for example)....they are 13th in the AL.... So, ya, it's not like this is even close to a good bullpen for the year.

    or do a better job of trading......

    Ah, got it. Always hard to tell. Yes, investments come with risk. Yes, the wealthy and powerful and others will do everything they can to manipulate the system to milk it (and us) for every penny.

    Terrible advice. Where would you put your money? in a mattress?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Uh, there is already a thread on this....

    From the last BA Hot Sheet: The Scoop: Gonsalves isn’t overpowering, but his low-90s fastball plays up thanks to deception. He needs to mix in his slider and cutter more, but his changeup is solid thanks to good arm action.

    KATOH is fun.....but has many restrictions on its usefulness, imo. Still, anyone should be intrigued by Granite. All he does is get on base, over and over, and then steal base, over and over.
  14. Mike Sixel
    All I know......KLAW is a very big fan, and others in the online scouting community are also. No reason at all not to be excited about him, or to throw cold water on that excitement.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not now. In the offseason, maybe.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm more intrigued by Palka than excited........
  17. Mike Sixel
    No player should try to lose, nor any manager. Of course, that's not happens in practice in any sport, but that straw man won't die...... I don't think they should call up A players and try to lose..... I do think they should gut the team of many veterans, and bring up AAA players that are legit parts of the future sooner rather than later.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He should play 3B every day this year. Seriously, he has barely played there in the last three years. Moving him to RF ..... everyone that endorsed that idea.....should be fired now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    All nice minor moves, I don't think anyone doubts his ability to do minor moves. Seems to be his specialty.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Right.......fear will turn out the vote more than boring policy wonk stuff.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess Suzuki and Abad go......and the Twins get nothing much.....and everyone is all angsty here, as if there was anything of value they could (or want to) trade....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Every terrorist attack is a nail in Hillary's coffin.....

    Klaw answered questions about this and other twins topics....see my fangraphs thread

    From KLAW chat: JG: In your humble opinion, who’s the best person (keeping Kim Ng in mind) that the Twins could bring in as the GM? Klaw: Aaron Gleeman mentioned Jason McLeod on Twitter yesterday, and I seconded it. He’s got a good track record of success and has worked in several analytically-minded organizations, so he should be able to come in and help build that department. (I view that as the single most important criterion for the Twins in hiring a new GM. If you can’t build that capability, you can’t be the GM Jacob: Jose Berrios continues to dominate in AAA. Have you heard any reports of him refining his stuff to allow him more success in the majors? Klaw: No, sounds like the same guy, too good for AAA, needs to pitch in the majors even if it means struggling now. Gotta learn to get those guys out at some point Cal: Does Nick Gordon still profile as an everyday SS? Klaw: Yes, I think he does. Probably a solid-average regular or a little better

    Drew: If the Twins called you tomorrow and offered you the GM job would the idea that Molitor can’t be fired be a road block? If you took the job would you trade Joe Mauer for just about anything? One of my favorite Twins but he’s not going to be on the next playoff team and I’d rather see Sano/Park/Vargas/whoever play 1B/DH. If there are no takers, would you cut him loose? Klaw: Speaking strictly hypothetically – I don’t expect this call and don’t want anyone to think I’m campaigning for any job here – I would say yes, it’s a roadblock, and would want that on the table for discussion. I’d be willing to sit down and make the case for a managerial change, not just that I want to hire my own guy for its own sake. As for Mauer, I think he’d be close to untradeable, I doubt he or ownership would be amenable to a trade, and I don’t know enough about his health to guess what kind of player he’ll be going forward
