    I like Santana, he's the one I trust the most. I still don't like their odds, given the lineups and Price.....but still, I like Santana.
  2. Mike Sixel
    and why does he turn toward his knee? to break up a double play? Either way, it wasn't a slide on a steal, or a slide trying to stretch for an extra base.......
  3. Mike Sixel
    Of corner defense doesn't matter.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Yes, another team would pick him up, because they'd only have to pay him the minimum, and some team will have lesser options than Sano. Yes, I'd keep Plouffe around, but he doesn't need some long extension right now to do so. Or, put Sano at 3B and Kepler at 1B.....not so hard to try for upside. But the Twins rarely go for upside, they tend to bet on decreasing down side.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Lots and lots of people disagree with that last sentence. TR messed it up greatly, and quit, hand picking Smith to succeed him. Lots of that off season is on TR, imo.
  6. Mike Sixel
    that is one awful prediction if true......ugh.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think Dozier is doing all the convincing.......he's an awesome player right now. Is that even up for debate?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Because Pelfrey already refused to move to the bullpen. Why sign him to start, with the massive list of better alternatives?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Kind of proving my point......there are some plays not worth making, aren't there? Justin was trying to save one out, and instead side trekked his entire life/career.
  10. Mike Sixel
    that would make him the only ELITE prospect on this year's list not to be a regular this year, let alone next year. No way he starts in AAA next year, unless he is AWFUL the rest of this year. It's not "rushing" him at all for him to be here. That's when ELITE players come up, not when they are 24.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I can't recall, was Justin also trying to break up a DP, or just sliding into 2B on an attempted steal?
  12. Mike Sixel
    that's one...... so, ya, it could happen. But let's not kid ourselves that sliding feet first is not more safe than head first.
  13. Mike Sixel
    this, 100% this. Molitor is clearly afraid of testing youngsters w/o experience in a role. Proved it with May, Graham, and now Sano. I am losing faith he's the right guy for a rebuilding team.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd cut him. There is no other good option for this team long term. Sano at 1B and one of Kepler, Walker, Arcia, Vargas at DH next year is a team with upside, not a team with a bad player at 1B. Mauer's not exactly great on defense either.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The Twins have May, Berrios, Duffey, Rogers.......and Nolasco. On what planet is signing Pelfrey a good idea? Berrios is a high upside guy, he should be here now, getting MLB exposure, and maybe helping them in winning some games. Instead, they go with someone else, who should be third in line to replace someone right now.
  16. Mike Sixel
    A mess he personally created.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Doesn't happen feet first......"just feel dizziness", that's code for we are likely to ignore this concussion, right? Wish I could find the thread where I said Buxton should slide feet first.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff. Thanks to both of you.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Mauer has a 93 wRC+. Lower than league average.....so, ya, not missing much, frankly. I'd literally cut him.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Nunez in the lineup....and Escobar....and Suzuki.....and Hunter. Yay!
  21. Mike Sixel
    What? Trade their one certain good player? Awful idea. Just awful. Want to improve the team? 1. Get Buxton back, move Hicks to RF, cut Hunter. 2. Cut Mauer, move Sano to 1B. 3. Call up Arcia to take Hunter's spot on the team. 4. Cut Boyer, call up Vargas to DH. Or Walker. Or Kepler. Or Polance if you are so sure his bat is ready. 5. Move May back to the rotation. 6. Move Milone to the bullpen when he is healthy
  22. Mike Sixel
    I admitted in the other thread it could be up to 60 or 80...... 4 RP last year pitched more than 80. 4. 2 RP put up 3 or more WAR. 11 put up 2 or more WAR. that's why teams have their best pitchers in the starting rotation, because they have a massively larger effect on outcomes as starters than relievers.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Except for his target being "safe*" low upside players, and passing on elite players.......sure, he has changed his stripes. *like Suzuki......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not sure what your last sentence means. An 8th inning guy gets 40-80 innings a year, if that. 40 was probably on the low end. There is no reason to assume he won't be healthy. A good SP >>>>>>>>> a good 8th inning guy. Or should every team move their 2nd best starter to the bullpen?
  25. Mike Sixel
    40 innings a year, or 180 innings a year? Guy with a future here, or guy with no future here? No idea how this is seen as correct.
