    No wonder they can't make a trade, if they are worried about a prospect helping them next year......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Or sign a Cuban that has a great bat.....and keep Mauer at C and DH/1B....
  3. Mike Sixel
    You can scout well all you want, but you can't get the elite of the elite picking late in the draft....and how has that scouting and developing pitchers gone since Garza, exactly?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Which is what I said in bullet two, way back on page one....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Plays that no other 1B can make? The people that do UZR and dWAR watch EVERY SINGLE play, and assess players against each other. But I dont' want to get into this in every thread......some people trust their eyes and refuse to take into account other things, and some people take into account other things. We aren't going to change that here..... some of us are merely pointing out that two of the sites that publish defensive stats don't think he's better than other 1B....
  6. Mike Sixel
    then if it frustrates you so much, don't go into threads where the entire purpose is to discuss things we don't know anything about. You will be happier, it's what I do.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Morneau has a negative .1 WAR score for fielding this year....a .7 WAR for the year so far. He's replacement level...... In 2012...he had a negative 6.7 defense, and a .3 WAR overall....replacement level. so, for all we think he's this great defender, UZR does not agree..... If he wasn't on the team, would you sign him? I doubt it.
  8. Mike Sixel
    My point was more about the grind of baseball, but ya, oooops.
  9. Mike Sixel
    A super bad rebuilding team should not be signing bad 1B, they just shouldn't.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Then don't comment on a thread where that is the topic. Then don't comment on anything, I guess. This whole board is about commenting on stuff we don't have enough information to be more than 60% sure of our thoughts (or 10%, take your pick). I never get those comments, that state that the entire purpose of the site is silly......don't come into these threads if you don't want to comment on them, or read others' comments.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I want it not to be done at all....... The best way to think about stuff like this......if baseball started today, would they start fighting, or would it not be tolerated at all? I am pretty sure it would not be tolerated at all.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Good thing I was on mute on this call at work, I laughed out loud! good one.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not at all, I've pointed out where the Twins have done well also....but this whole thread is people saying we can't judge Anderson with this info....so I am asking, when I can I judge anderson. We are talking about Anderson and Liriano, and players that have left.....not every single thing Anderson has ever done. You sure Deduno has actually improved, the more he's been in the majors? I'm not, not yet.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Seem to be reading less caught stealing for Buxton lately......is that true? I cannot wait to watch him play in MN.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to Guerra.....just too bad about the blood clot. Rooting for him.
  16. Mike Sixel
    why would anyone do that?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Or, you can use AAA to stash the 3rd catcher, and not worry about individual games.....it is silly to worry about at the MLB level.
  18. Mike Sixel
    A team that desperately needs a high draft pick, that has no future this year or next, that team should be promoting a young player that is either part of the future potentially, or promote someone from lower in the minors that isn't great, but can catch. Doumit serves no purpose here at all.
  19. Mike Sixel
    So did Miami....and when they trade Stanton, they will be a good 2 years ahead of MN in the rebuild I'd guess. I'm hoping for a starting pitcher again, this system is still a long way from having enough pitching at the high levels. I hope the Twins lose every game the rest of the way, and get Rodon.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Funny, when I suggested they'd probably have Buxton take the winter off, everyone said I was crazy....now it makes sense for an older guy, who is used to the long grind, take time off? I do agree, Sano and Buxton could probably use some time off. Makes sense to me, frankly.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I too would rather have Abreu, but they have the money for both.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    So when people say "show me Twins that have left, and then we can judge the coaches" Liriano deosn't count? How about Lohse, does he count? Do only guys that don't get better count? I'm not sure how this works.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Morneau can't play 1B, that's the point. He's just not that good anymore.
  24. Mike Sixel
    how about signing someone that might be good? There is a Cuban or two just sitting out there, waiting for permission to sign. How about taking a chance on someone from outside the org. He's one of my favorite Twins of all time, but Morneau is not a good player anymore. I'd rather they take a chance on someone..... How about this: Sign Ellsbury, put Willingham at DH, put random player in RF (they have options), put a medium/low FA in LF, and put Arcia at 1B. In a year, put Buxton in CF, and move Ellsbury to LF. Problems solved.....with 100x better players.
  25. Mike Sixel
    so the plan is to run with Doumit? Does this team have a strategy for being better next year? There is no one in the minors to bring up to catch? I don't get it.
