    The Twins have largely ignored service time manipulation....Buxton maybe being the one exception with this FO. I just don't buy that....if they need Lee at the start of next year, he'll be in MN, IMO.
  2. Mike Sixel
    What's your point? That he needs 100 PA against lefiies in AAA? That could take a year. What a waste that would be.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Have they said Lewis won't play OF in the future, or this year?
  4. Mike Sixel
    What are you expecting? The following guys lost rookie status this year: Wallner, Lewis, Juien..... The farm is right in the middle of rankings.....most clubs have question marks pretty fast on their lists.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Excellent job pointing out survival bias!
  6. Mike Sixel
    100 PA against lefties? Taht could take a year....a full year. Maybe more.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Gallo isn't close to decent....I get your point. I'd rather have another year like the first half this year. I'm suggesting if you expect that, you expect them be the best starting rotation in baseball, is setting you up for disappointment
  8. Mike Sixel
    It would be great to have five great pitchers. I'm going to suggest that's not realistic.... For any team.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Gallo with polanco at first.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Next year? Have you actually looked at what he's done this year? He's a number five, easy. What exactly do people expect out of number five pitchers?
  11. Mike Sixel
    People post the outliers all the time, as if that proves something.... It's just human nature for some reason.
  12. Mike Sixel
    And what would Julien be doing?
  13. Mike Sixel
    All good points
  14. Mike Sixel
    Would be great to sign a veteran... They'll have the money
  15. Mike Sixel
    You think that this would somehow ruin his future? To the OP, Severino is the next first baseman....
  16. Mike Sixel
    They had him in LF in the minors. They have Wallner in left, he's not going anywhere most likely, unless they don't bring back Kepler and move Wallner to RF. Also, Martin is likely to be a MUCH better LFer than Julien, much like Lee will be 2B......so if you move him for Lee, do you move him for Martin? That said, yes, Lee will field much better, but will he hit like Julien? If Julien had played all year, he'd be a top 5 or so 2b in fWAR, even with his bad defense...... Why are people so opposed to Julien being the full time DH, if he hits like this?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs has the TWins the 11th best team.....and they are over .500. I'm not sure "bad" is the correct word at all. Mediocre I can buy....but not BAD.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Speaking for me, because he's the best for the team......he hits like a legit OF, but can play 2B....and he likely can't play anywhere else. I'd be ok if he was the DH, but I don't see that happening any time soon....
  19. Mike Sixel
    100% this.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Given there have been almost none highly ranked, I'm not sure I get your point at the end. SWR and Balazovich are the only ones I can recall any national pundits liking.....it's also been 7 years. It takes 3-4 years for a pitcher to make the majors, so, what, 3-4 drafts so far? How many legit starting pitchers would you expect in 3-4 years of drafts? 1? 2 at most?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Well, the Twins desperately need a LF, and they kept him at 2B even when Polanco returned.....so, maybe?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I really also wonder at some of the thoughts here....do we really think the Twins haven't watched him play in the minors and majors? They've placed Severino at first in AAA for a game or two, I think that tells us something about Julien at first, and Severino anywhere (I am a believer in his bat, no idea on his glove, other than it isn't great).
  23. Mike Sixel
    All fair, which is I put "allegedly" in my second post. We just don't know yet.
  24. Mike Sixel
    You don't have to know someone is under age for it to be illegal.... It being in the DR does complicate things for sure, given the different legal systems.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If he's raking in AAA next year, he's more valuable as a trade piece, IMO....but you might be right this off season. Not sure what his value is at this point......but while I like depth, I like better players even more, and this team needs better RP and more pitching prospects.....but I don't see them dealing him unless he's part of a bigger package.
