    I'm guessing Seattle or TX or Dodgers....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Sure, when Buxton can play center. This whole thread is about him not being able to right now, so I don't understand this post. And, no, Miranda can't hit AAA pitching right now. There is zero reason for him to be in MN. I also don't get the Solano love.....Julien is the DH if Buxton isn't.

    Surgery coming, again. Was a good risk, that might not work....so "everyone" here can rip them for that too.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    It told me I had already voted? Did my amusing rankings make it?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, I was pretty sure he wasn't anymore.
  6. Mike Sixel
    How do we check prospect status? Is Varland still a prospect, for example?
  7. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea why Severino isn't in AAA. He's an actual prospect......I am not at all happy with the decisions of this FO re: who is in AAA right now.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Fair question. I think Wallner is likely better at hitting than Buxton, but I don't know that. I expect polanco to be up in the next few weeks, then what?
  9. Mike Sixel
    I hope to be wrong.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Julien and it isn't close.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It hurts the ranking when Lewis and Julien lose their prospect status. But they both have six years of control left, and are basically prospects contract wise at this point. But yes, that's not great. I'll bet real money they are much higher at fangraphs. Much.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I expect them to send him to AAA so he can sit next to Larnach and Wallner and they can all be frustrated together.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Concur

    Buxton isn't close to the best DH option in the team. I'm baffled anyone can say that. No new news here, just what we've known all along. If they thought he could play out there, he would Anyone ripping the contract is posting in bad faith. Given what was known at the time, it was a reasonable gamble.
  15. Mike Sixel
    In less than 1 year we've seen the limits of a player......wow.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'll be shocked if Julien plays in the OF unless every other option is injured during a game.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I understand your point.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It does make one wonder ...betts played a position he's never played this year, to help the team, and Lewis can't be bothered to play the OF....
  19. Mike Sixel
    sigh. Ya, you're right, it is only about money.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs has Jenkins 81 overall.....I doubt they've really updated the overall board though, so that might go up or down slightly....
  21. Mike Sixel
    How many arms not named Varland would they need to include? I don't think the Cards are dealing him......
  22. Mike Sixel
    That's my point. No rental was as good as Gray, so we don't know what Gray brings back. I think technically Castillo was, but they had an agreement in place, clearly, but I could be wrong.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I just don't think they are moving on from MAT......nor am I sure they should. It wouldn't kill me....but I think if you add Polanco at third and Larnach in left, then Lewis at third and Polanco at 2B and Julien at DH (bench Buxton, he's not as good a hitter as Julien), that they could score a run a game more than they are right now w/o fixing CF .... assuming CC returns to near CC level as a hitter and Jeffers plays 60% of the time. Would I like more, like Kepler also gone and Williams at first and AK in Right? Yes. With all that, if they still can't hit, we have a lot of info on next year and beyond, and haven't really lost anything this year (since you can't win playoff games scoring less than 3 runs a game 40% of the time anyway).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Other than Stevenson, I'm good with that plan. I really do think they should consider putting Buxton on the IL, and putting Polanco at third when he's healthy.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Most rentals aren't as good as Gray....I just looked at 2022, and there were two trades with better players (Soto and Castillo deals).....I don't know if we know what Gray would bring back for sure. Less than Castillo for sure, but more than most. I mean, if they can't get a 45 value prospect (or better) they need to keep him and offer the QO, assuming he doesn't fall on his face the rest of the year.
