    It's clear they should trade Wallner at this point, since they refuse to play him.
  2. Mike Sixel
    So, no Wallner. Why is he up? Seriously? Why is he up? this is 100% why I said they wouldn't call him up to replace Miranda, because it would be a waste of his growth / time. Why is Buxton still batting 3rd? At least Jeffers is playing....
  3. Mike Sixel
    How about one of them, even? You know, for a corner OF that hasn't hit in three years?
  4. Mike Sixel
    What youngsters? Who does Polanco replace? I agree, the FO thinks this O will be better w/o doing anything.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'd deal from their deep pool of 40 -45 FV guys.....like Severino (who they won't promote) or Larnach (who they won't promote) or Kiersey (he's not exactly young) for him. I don't know if that is enough. But if this FO won't promote guys, and seem to love veterans so much, they might as well get value for those guys while they can.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Right.....you have Lee (if Lewis is at third, Lee has to be your 2B of the future) and Severino (I think he's traded for a RP this deadline, or as part of a bigger deal) and Martin (who should only be a LF or CF at this point, but maybe his arm can't take that right now) and Schoebel (too far away to worry about). Julien has to coexisit with Lewis and Lee in the near term, whether Polanco is here or not.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff. The draft coverage here has been truly impressive. I have no idea other than what I read, but I really like the top of this draft a lot. And the middle rounds are intriguing.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I disagree that no one acknowledges that prospects are risky. Of course, so are veterans (Mahle and Motas come to mind from last year's deadline). No team is built w/o using prospects....the more you have that are likely to be good, the more good MLB players you'll end up with. They could end up with something like Cincy did for Mahle or Castillo......(not that good on the 2nd one, I'd guess). They could end up with what the Twins got for Berrios (which is still more than they would have got if they didn't trade him).
  9. Mike Sixel
    If I was him, I'd want a 3B that was hitting like a mad man since moving to AAA, not ANOTHER LH corner OF........so I get his frustration. This team doesn't need to add Wallner to Gallo and Kepler...... Also, still not sure how Polanco makes the team any better if he replaces Julien. Certainly not offensively.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Where does polanco play, and what happens to Julien in your scenario? Because it's very unlikely polanco his better than Julien has. I'd listen to offers. If you can get a guy in AA that is a 45+or better, I likely make the trade. This is driven by my belief that they have three starters as good as him, for the playoffs, and that this FO refuses to take a chance on fixing the hitting issues, meaning I think they have little to no chance in the playoffs. All that said, if they keep him, it's not an awful decision......
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm baffled that anyone thinks trading Gray is panicking. It's the literal opposite of that. Truly. I think it is reasonable to keep him, but I don't think this team, given they refuse to fix the dumpster fire of an outfield, has any chance in the playoffs. There are plenty of reasons to keep Gray, none of which have to do with not panicking
  12. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure you failed your sarcasm check.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ah. Right. Well, that won't work here.... Not that for one second I thought that offer would be made.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Polanco at third is my vote. Or Julien at first and AK to the outfield over Kepler.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Also, Gallo is better than Max at everything, why is he not in the lineup?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think it's Arizona. How about a three way trade? Az gets sonny gray and a minor league pitcher from Minnesota, plus if they want Gallo or Kepler and any hitter not named martin from AAA. LA gets one of the top prospects from Az and Julien and Headrick. Mn gets Ohtani and a mid tier prospect from AZ. Seems like too much for Minnesota to give up ... But he replaces Gray in the rotation and Kepler in right.
  17. Mike Sixel
    It's not like Kepler hits lefties. And yesterday? They need an infielder, and called up another LH OF....
  18. Mike Sixel
    No idea why they called up Wallner to sit. It really says something about their AAA and AA infielders....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, anyone suggesting trading Jeffers makes zero sense. Nice snark though.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Multiple injured guys in the list of targets? Ummmmm
  21. Mike Sixel
    Who said any of this? No one.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I cannot defend this lack of Julien, AK, and Wallner. It really is mind boggling
  23. Mike Sixel
    Shows what I know. Wallner up? Maybe he'll DH?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Miranda scratched with sore shoulder. Call up Severino! Also, not a fan of Vazquez, don't care what the pitcher wants. This team is desperate for offense.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This is one service...I doubt very much that MN will be bottom five at FG, for example.
