    to be more clear.....I think he's still got a good hitter in there somewhere. It's about health, IMO.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'll be shocked if Gordon is on this roster next year. Miranda is no better fielder than Severino, is he? And Lewis, where do you see him next year? Miranda's fall started last year as the season went on. I'm not convinced.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That makes more sense than some others have made here! A lot more.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Where do you see Miranda playing with Lee, Lewis, Severino, Castro, Farmer on the roster (and maybe Polanco and Julien both being on it next year)? Because none of those are playing SS......and at least two of those are 2B, leaving Lee and Severino and Lewis for 3B....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Lewis and Polanco will play 3B.....they aren't trading for a 3B. They clearly see those two as this year's 3B going forward.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Streakiness is a very polite word for what he's been this year.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    90% of fans have no idea the trades that got to this point, I'd guess.
  8. Mike Sixel
    The top two guys were in the top 50 prospect lists....with Marte in the top 15 in all of baseball.
  9. Mike Sixel
    DFA gallo Not a hard choice at all.....doesn't matter I guess. It's clear they are willing to play with a clear backup at 3B for a month or more, during a pennant chase. And with Sands in the bullpen, but never pitching. I made my point, sorry for the off topic posts.

    Not even close to what Seattle gave up. Not close. (you have to look at the rankings last year, not what they are doing now)
  11. Mike Sixel
    Neither can hit....why?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd deal him. The Twins are not going to.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Lewis, Lee and who for Castillo? Because that would have been the minimum....
  14. Mike Sixel
    You might want to check the MLB leaderboards for ERA....
  15. Mike Sixel
    People still rip Boston for trading Betts......rightly so.
  16. Mike Sixel
    You want a 40 man spot? DFA Gallo. That's an easy decision.
  17. Mike Sixel
    But they aren't the same. Do we think 1 extra chance a game really matters? Put the guy where he'll play and get him ready to be that player.
  18. Mike Sixel
    And yet, they sit in AA......Other teams promote guys from AA. Last year you told me that they could just as easily promote guys from AA as AAA....... Larnach isn't a future piece, he's shown that now. I mean, he might be, but I don't think we should assume he will be. I know why he's up for this short time, but why not take a chance? You want a 40 man move? You really don't see any player that can't be taken off the 40 man? Really? Yes, I'd rather a guy that MIGHT be a legit 3B be up, rather than a known utility guy. Farmer hasn't hit all year, so no idea why you'd argue that he's the right guy there. They are going how many weeks w/o a starter at 3B? Castro isn't hitting either. Both those guys are backups for a reason.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    This site would have ripped them to shreds for trading Miranda last year.....shreds. Cano was brutal here, agreed, no one thought he'd be like this. If other teams thought he'd be this good, MN could have traded him for a ton a good prospect at the deadline, not thrown him into a deal.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I understand why they are doing this, but this is not going to go well for LAA...... As for the prospects, depends on who you ask, as far as I can tell. Some outlets like the stuff on the pitcher a lot.....some don't. In any event, it is what the Sox should be doing, selling off assets. The central looks no more difficult next year, this FO needs to figure out the OF for the future (and put Lee at whatever position he's going to play in the majors already).
  21. Mike Sixel
    As for this year.... I think they'll get one or two more RPs, likely for Severino or Prato or Larnach. I'm hoping they DFA Gallo....they've clearly done everything they could to give him a shot the last week (CF and 1B), and it still isn't working. Just putting Wallner in left over him is worth a win or three. The elephant in the room remains Buxton. I'd put him in CF, and if he can't play there, really, then I'd IL him. Put Julien at DH, Polanco at 2B, and Lee, Prato, or Severino at 3B until Lewis returns (it hurts my brain they aren't using a legit 3B for a month+ during a playoff chase).
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd make that Petty for Gray trade 100x out of 100 opportunities. 100. Every OF got hurt last year, they literally started their 7-9th best options last year for multiple games. I'm not sure how anyone prepares for that. They tried to do other things (Mahle and Lopez) to fill in other holes, those didn't work. It's not like they didn't try, they just butchered those two deals (not that there were many other options other than Mahle).
  23. Mike Sixel
    People only commenting on this from a baseball perspective make me sad....this is a class move.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I also don't expect much. Heck, I don't even expect them to do little obvious things.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Neither of those guys is a legit MLB prospect at SS or 3B. Lee should be in St. Paul. As should Severino and Kiersay. Miranda is an issue for Lee playing 3B (why is Lee playing SS? There is zero chance he's a regular there for at least three years)
