    that was cool! thanks for posting it.

    Well, I don't know what stats to look at if I can't look at WAR. But, when you add Murphy plus Suzuki (or Suzuki last year plus the backups last year) you end up with one of the, if not the, worst situations in the game.
  3. Mike Sixel
    2.5 WAR is a lot of WAR, though......they also have about the worst backup catchers in the league. They also have no one in AAA that is ready, and the AA guys are not ready. If the Twins could move up 2.5 WAR at C, SS, and LF, that team would be A LOT better than it is right now...... I understand it is not a position with the huge gaps between the better and the worst players, like some other positions. I also believe that having the worst catching the league matters, and that they traded for a guy that has been awful so far. Not just bad, but awful. All I'm saying is don't punt the position just because it is a hard position to fill, but then, I feel that way about the 25th man, unlike the Twins, so what do I know?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why are you comparing the hitting to non-catchers? If you can go from the worst catching in the league to league average, that has real value, imo. Not Berrios value, but real value. All I know is that A LOT of catchers have switched teams since Suzuki came here, and we still have the worst situation. and, sorry, I'm having a rather bad day at work, I'll watch the snark.

    I thought he was considered very good defensively? I'm impressed by the speed of his adjustment to the game over here. OTOH, baseball is baseball to some extent.
  6. Mike Sixel
    so, don't make catcher better if you can't get Mauer / Posey? How about not having the worst* catching situation in the game? That would be a nice start........ *according to FG War..... aim low, get bad results.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    It does seem more like a "fine, you want him at the top, I'll put him at the top" thing, given his use of Dozier and Plouffe still........
  8. Mike Sixel
    I guess it depends on the meaning of the word.........he sure doesn't look all that good compared to the other top 10 players on the boards the last couple years. So, if you are talking relative value, maybe he is. If you are talking absolute value, well, he'll play in the majors for a long time......
  9. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea......is he worthy of top 20? That's not my impression. Plus, this is the Twins. They'll just take a guy that is about 15th on most boards, and pay him slot, and move on with their unimaginative lives, imo.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Except almost every reply in those threads is how he might not be the superstar we thought, not that he's done for sure. almost every reply, not every reply........ I fail to see how having doubts about him being elite = saying his career is over. the strawmen are tiring.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wow! that is one crazy auto correct......wow. sometimes my phone picks the most strange words.......though peyote may explain the decision making going on right now.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    How will they know if they don't try? He's probably not a MLB starter, is he?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I think it's fair, but it is hard to know what the plan is right now, and you would, I hope, admit it is hard to give them the benefit of the doubt on having a plan right now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    the next time the Twins are that good at manipulating the draft will be the first time, right? Also, Carlos was a top 5 talent, he wasn't a 3rd rounder......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Still waiting for someone to be promoted in this system..... I don't know, I don't care if Rochester needs SP, Rogers is a MLB LOOGY, and he should be up here doing that job. Can someone explain why he's starting, and not in the bullpen?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Because Dombrowski is their GM and they are trying to win NOW....... Though I agree, he isn't coming for a back end player, I think peyote are over estimating his cost
  17. Mike Sixel
    Here is a list of people saying his career is over
  18. Mike Sixel
    Can't tell if serious. Park is 29..... He is ready. So is Sano.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Bring out your dead is a perfect picture.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    He sure can look very effective.........he should, imo, be in the rotation the rest of the year. This team needs to know what they have for the future. Move Hughes to the bullpen......or trade someone over 27 years of age.
  21. Mike Sixel
    This 100000000000000000000000000000x this.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Ha, well, I am supposedly also working today.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Uh, no chance they'd have to give up that much. None.
  24. Mike Sixel
    This can't be a serious comment.........Puckett played OF his entire career. Try harder.
  25. Mike Sixel
    ah, thanks,
