    Martin has to be added after the season, so that isn't it.
  2. Mike Sixel
    He could be in AAA and still be on the 40 man roster.....ready in case Castro or MAT can't play (or Buxton).
  3. Mike Sixel
    it does not matter.....if they know they'll win their petition.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Good for him. I'm hoping he gets a real shot to play.
  5. Mike Sixel
    right....so easy to get him on the 40 man yesterday. My guess is they are assuming MAT and Buxton will be healthy for the playoffs.....and it won't matter.....I don't agree. I see no upside to NOT making him available, just in case.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sure....if they can deal Lee for a legit SP, I'd consider that too. Probably not Lewis, though his injury history makes me nervous....I see him, if healthy, as a STAR.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Sure he could have, just option a pitcher (or Farmer) for 10 days, but I'm not sure they had to get him on the 26 man, just the 40. The pitcher could be replaced by Varland for those 10 days, for example, today, when the rosters expanded.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He could have been put on the 40 man easily....he can't replace Miranda on the playoff roster unless they win their petition. I agree, I'm glad he's on the roster....
  9. Mike Sixel
    100% they expect AK, Castro, and Buxton up in the next week or two....in the meantime, Luplow keeps playing. IF Buxton can't play CF, and IF MAT's hammy is still an issue, I'd like there to be another CF option than Gallo on the 40 man....
  10. Mike Sixel
    This is a fair point!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Why not just put him there yesterday?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd love for Lewis to be the starting CF (or Martin)......and for Lee to be at third. But I don't believe Lewis will be there for a second. We'll know in March/April....
  13. Mike Sixel
    As far as I can tell, they now have a 39 man team for the playoffs, not 40.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Julien is at 2nd if they don't trade him. 100% of the time. Where would they play Lee if Lewis is at third and Julien at 2nd? AAA.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If he's healthy...but why not IL Miranda yesterday and put Stevenson on the 40 man?
  16. Mike Sixel
    But now they have 39 guys on the 40 man for the playoffs......that's my point. They could have done this yesterday and kept him in AAA until today. If they waive Stevenson w/o a fully healthy Buxton and MAT, that would be odd, imo.
  17. Mike Sixel
    too late! That's the point of my original post.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    If they need MAT insurance, he really should have been up yesterday......
  19. Mike Sixel
    Buxton hasn't played more than a third of the games in a year almost ever.....Martin or Lewis will play more CF than Buxton next year and every year after that. If Lewis is at third, no idea where Lee is other than St. Paul.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'd take a chance on him over Gallo all day, every day at this point. But clearly they disagree.
  21. Mike Sixel
    He's also a LH hitting OF....which I thought they had too many of? Like, I really don't get this at all....
  22. Mike Sixel
    So, they are calling up Stevenson....but he can't be on the playoff roster? Why would you do this? Why not yesterday? Unless I'm not understanding, this seems really, really, really, odd.
  23. Mike Sixel
    We'll never know if Lee can play until he's in the majors......It's all about Lewis' and CC's health....if they are healthy, Lee sits in ST. P as insurance.....I doubt, very much, as you point out, he will hit like Julien. Julien has been awesome.....and I believe he'll be somewhere between his peak this year and Steer.....My point is that they have depth, but not much young pitching that anyone trusts. Depth is great! But having more starters that are great is better.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I'm not convinced I'm right, nor am I convinced I'm wrong. I'd bet good money he's the starting 2B next year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Well, unless Lewis also moves to the OF, Lee will sit in AAA no matter how he plays, until there is an injury. We know that, given this year. So, I do see a logjam. I'd rather move Julien for a really good pitcher and have more good/great players in the majors, than sitting in AAA.
