    Did you just compare how a 3B hits to how a 1B hits? If you had to choose to get rid of a top 10 3B, or a bottom ten 1B to make room for Sano, what would you choose?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Inconceivable (and no, I can't attach what I want to from work.....).
  3. Mike Sixel
    Probably not, but Mauer should not hold back Sano, nor should Mauer be preferred over Plouffe. Easiest answer is Sano at DH......but at some point, they are going to have to do something with Mauer.
  4. Mike Sixel
    In 4-5 years, maybe, maybe. In the mean time, they got nothing, if they don't like Pinto. Nothing.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It would be a mistake to want Mauer over Plouffe, imo. cannot believe I just typed that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yes, I would deal Mauer and eat all his salary, to free up room for Sano and Plouffe to be on the same team. Plouffe is a top 5 to 10 3B right now, no way I gave up on that. Good point on the eat and trade. If he won't agree to a trade, I would find another way not to play him.

    Love OF defense. .....

    What just happened? Gamecast is useless on odd plays.

    He has the Twins taking Allard, but mentions Cameron (but notes his desire for $$$$$$$). http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/draft/mock/?season=2015&version=1&source=Keith-Law-Mock-Draft If you aren't paying for insider, just for the baseball stuff, well, I don't get it!

    No one's downside is MLB CF.....but I get your point. Like I said, what I know, I read here.
  12. Mike Sixel
    When they wait on guys, and they work out.....they are geniuses, maybe they messed up on Meyer by NOT promoting him. Of course, I don't buy that, but others post it all the time.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Just reading this, and nothing else, he sounds more like Revere than Buxton to me......
  14. Mike Sixel
    0% chance you can get Van Slyke for one of those pitchers. Zero.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I do agree, I'd be looking for a catcher. Now, who is going to trade a good, cost controlled, not old catcher? Because, you know, those are so available......unless you are just going to trade for another prospect, but prospect for prospect trades are rare, very rare.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree that having a dumb teenage girl is mysogony, anymore than I agree having a moving with Russian terrorists says all Russian are bad/evil. Sansa is weak, and emotional, and is not even 16 I don't think......who was trained and raised to follow the man of the house (that's, you know, kind of how Europe worked). Wait, Jon Snow is a minor character? The entire Bolton family are minor? The entire waterborn are minor, all of them in total? Jamie, minor character? I'm a bit confused by that. Who are the MAJOR characters that aren't stupid, lusty, gluttons, slavers, driven by passion for a woman, controlled by a woman? Other than the dwarf? I predict Peter will come "THIS CLOSE" to his goal, then get crushed at the end, and all of his lust for power will just get him killed, like every other man in the series. The women are largely surviving, largely.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And, here you go....a post saying don't trade Vargas or Walker......so, yup, right in this thread. Btw, I'd rather pay Mauer to retire, and put Sano at 1B, why not? I mean, if you are paying Joe anyway?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Lots of posts on this site say "don't trade any prospects until 2016 or 2017", or "don't trade any prospects until you know which are going to work out", which doesn't work because there is no value in them then. They say not to give up on Hicks or player X because they "might be David Ortiz". the theme of the site seems to largely be, never trade a prospect for anyone, ever. With the exception of chief and a few others, of course.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Again, why do all trades have to be about Sano or Buxton? If they are this deep, they have excess guys. Or, you know, most of the guys NEVER work out, that's how prospects work........so I don't get this obsession with not trading prospects for proven MLB players.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'd say it is the opposite....since you can implode at any moment, when things are actually working, you should double down, because the next year Mauer and Morneau might get injured.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Why does Sansa have to grow. Maybe she is just a loser. I also disagree on your assessment of the men. The first king dies because he is a glutton. Ned dies because he is unable to understand basic politics, despite being trained in it for a lifetime. Jamie .... every bad decision he makes is sourced in love and lust for his sister. Stanis is controlled by a woman. Jon can't get over his various emotions at all, though his seem to lead him to a lucky good outcome. The ironborn men? All losers so far. The Boltons are repulsive. Cersei is the living ruler of the family, all the others are dead or exiled or crippled. Dani is the living ruler, her brother is dead. I am not saying there are not issues with how he treats women, but I think people overstate how well he treats men.
  22. Mike Sixel
    In this week's power rankings on CBS......they don't know what to make of the Twins, but have them 7th.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, if he can dominate w/o a good breaking ball, I'd think you'd want to challenge him and move him up so he HAD to use the breaking ball. But then, I believe people grow by being challenged in general, not in beating others at games when they are just far superior. It is a philosophical difference I clearly hold with the Twins' approach, imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Clearly the lesson here is I should never start positive thread.again.
  25. Mike Sixel
    There was a quote at the beginning saying they wait for promotions until after minor league all star games.....I asked a simple question if they were more worried about that than the majors, asking for clarification on the quote, and people jumped down my throat. It was a simple fn question people. Jeeze.
