    This is going to really hurt the Twins over the next few years. Sano s/b your 1B right now, or soon. Vargas or Arcia or someone else should be your DH right now, or soon. In the mean time, you are stuck with a guy that I don't think they'll ever be brave enough to bench. He either retires, or they play a man short in the lineup. If only they had moved him off catcher sooner.....if only that had been an option.
  2. Mike Sixel
    which they are not getting.

    No areal surprise. The surprise to me is that they have not traded him at some point, to a team that values defense even less than they do. There is not room for him, ABW3, Vargas and maybe Sano/Plouffe on the same team. Me? I'd have traded him and received value for him by now.

    There aren't 30 every day catchers in the majors, are there? I stand by my assertion, catcher is a bigger problem than the bullpen. Others can disagree, I'm ok with that.
  5. Mike Sixel
    25th is one of the 5 worst, isn't it?
  6. Mike Sixel
    it isn't, but they can't just ignore profitability, as much as I'd like them to. My issue with the Pohlad's approach was that, imo, you have to sometimes spend money to make it. It appears that is happening lately.
  7. Mike Sixel
    But Suzuki is awesome! I am confused.
  8. Mike Sixel
    1 loss is very different than not giving up any leads.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Suzuki is one of the 5 worst catchers in the league. The bullpen is not.
  10. Mike Sixel
    It is if you are running a business and need to make money. And, there just are no guarantees that either way works.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Dang, ok. nm then.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Or they could have sat still , and not made the playoffs the last two years, and have a super deep minor league system, and then in 5 years maybe be good if everyone worked out.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'd argue CF and C are pretty good sized weaknesses also, and I don't see any way Meyer comes up as a RP. They'll move him back to starting in AAA once he settles down. I don't agree with that, but I predict it.
  14. Mike Sixel
    got it, sometimes we* do post across each other *we=all of us here
  15. Mike Sixel
    You are correct, and no, I had forgotten the Dozier went back down actually. My bad.
  16. Mike Sixel
    How would this happen? Will they keep him in the minors for 3 more years somehow? Or move Mauer? btw, I've been saying this also should be his future.....

    spycake, on 03 Jun 2015 - 2:01 PM, said: Pressly first out of the pen today with a 4 run deficit in the 5th inning. A sign that they want to use him before they send him down? Still not a Stauffer situation? What is a Stauffer situation?

    Dozier and Plouffe developed in the majors, not AAA, right?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Except a: you never know someone is ready for sure b: there is not room for all three, and there never will be, probably. so have one up here now, hitting c: they should be trying to win when they are good, last year, when they didn't do any of this playing for the future, they tried to win. So, what exactly is the strategy here?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Because you can't predict they'll be good, healthy, and all the others would too, just like Mauer and Morneau....I was comparing this situation to the one in the 2000s where they refused to trade from the future, because we just had to wait for Mauer and Morneau to build around, then we could worry about the present.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Except, based on how they act, they love veterans.......so not sure what you and I want fits in their plan.
  23. Mike Sixel
    That is a terrible business philosophy...."if it ain't broke, don't fix it". A terrible philosophy. Entire books and treatises and classes exist showing this over and over. Just curious, but where do Arcia AND Vargas both play in the next three years? There is not room for both. figure out one to have here now, and one in AAA.
  24. Mike Sixel
    No, it is not likely Sano will hit 40 HRs. that jus is super rare now. And, I was 100% clear, don't trade Sano or Buxton or Berrios.......
  25. Mike Sixel
    I don't know, I have some training in creating polls and surveys. This might be biased, but I'm not sure yet.....
