    I don't know. We've barely seen Pinto play, and (unless you count framing) I think catcher defense is over rated. All I've wanted is for Pinto to have the same chance Santana has received, so we can see if it really matters or not......now, things have happened this year that prevented it. It should have happened last year, imo.
  2. Mike Sixel
    How far down would you go?
  3. Mike Sixel
    6 to 7 years? He is 25......good luck with that now.
  4. Mike Sixel
    If you could trade Meyer for a top 25 prospect right now.....since so many in front of him graduated.....would you? I would
  5. Mike Sixel
    To what end? There are 8 pitchers ahead of him in the pecking order right now. He could be HERE, right now, helping. If he has to start more than 5 games the next 18 months, something else went really, really wrong.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Arcia is possible. He is out of options next year...... No way Meyer is traded. He has no value right now, and he has options.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He's out of options, right? So he's either on this roster next year, or traded........
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not sure defense is the only thing they are looking at, Santana is not exactly a whiz out there......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they should look for a SS.....or play Escobar?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree with your math, but the Twins' don't. Ergo, as long as May is in the pen, use him in the most crucial spots, otherwise they are just wasting a roster spot, imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    There are a ton of memes that appear here over and over: Mauer should catch again ABW is the greatest power hitter evar! The Twins can't compete, and should trade player x while his value is high. Stats nerds don't like baseball. etc........ What's your favorite, the one that when it comes up, just makes you smile. Feel free to pick not above. If this doesn't stay light hearted, I'm sure it will be closed down. Mine is the ABW stuff. Every time I see it, I just smile.
  12. Mike Sixel
    or to hope the guy(s) they get contribute positively to a winning team, and not worry about "winning" the Arcia vs others trade.....because people often forget the players they keep that play that spot....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Of course it is possible. But as pointed out above......it isn't clear he's been on winners.
  14. Mike Sixel
    does that make him a good player? does it prove he is a "winner"? No, and no. Great teams often have a bad player on their roster. Was Delmon Young the reason the Twins and Orioles kept winning? Really?
  15. Mike Sixel
    1. Agreed, Fryer should play 2x a week, at least. 2. I still don't like any options out there a ton........IF they go get a third catcher, he has to be able to PH in the post season, so it can't be another mediocre hitter.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Yes. But I'd play him 2x a week in RF, and one at DH......and PH. You can't always wait for the future......at some point, you have to play to win. And, I doubt playing 1/3 the time this year will cripple him long term.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I thought you were making the decisions now, dangit.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If Pelfrey doesn't revert to the last version.....May might be better in the bull pen, if, you know, they actually use him in high leverage situations......but I'm not convinced. I'd rather have my better pitchers pitching more innings......but I would be ok with him as the top RP out of the pen not named Perkins. but if he's not that guy in the 'pen, then I'd want him in the rotation for sure.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I am a big fan of Gibson...... the boyer one is, wait for it, mind boggling......he's not that good! I'll bet the under on Hunter's HR pace, check his July numbers..... As for bsr, Fangraphs has them below replacement for base running this year overall.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I think they have a clear shot at the playoffs. I don't invest much hope/happiness in sports' teams success failure anymore though. but if I did, I'd be excited.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I think most people said, "demote him to AAA"......not "they should just cut him", but maybe I'm misremembering.
  22. Mike Sixel
    was talking about this with my 17 year old son, who is about to start college.....he is aware that he needs to be careful, but is quite worried at the presumption of guilt that seems to be implied here. The U of M just tabled this, correct, while they work this out.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    that made me smile....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I am in no hurry to trade him either......I'd rather have him here, but I understand why that might not be the right decision either.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Dang.
