    Or, they might hit less 2B and HR in their ABs and score less runs...... The team was MUCH better w/o Gallo and whomever at 3B when Lewis and Wallner were playing. Just that helps the team for a full year, most likely. Now add ANYTHING from 1B, and this is likely a top 10 offense (health, of course, being an issue). That includes almost nothing from CF.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    How they keep winning at this point is absurd. The coaches, GM, and backups all deserve an insane amount of credit. Especially the GM and coaches.

    Those 26 guys need to play a position....and Julien and Polanco play the same position. I don't get how that's not a thing....you can't have, for example, 26 pitchers or 26 slow, plodding catchers. You want to have a deep farm system, you have to deal vets that are redundant....even when the team is good. Polanco can't play SS or 3B, other than in an emergency. He isn't a catcher, or OF. That leaves 2B, 1B, and DH......A team with budget constraints can't have a 10MM player that is a utility/bench player. So he's a starter. Where are you starting him? And if you are starting him, who is on the bench (2B, 1B, or DH.....Julien, AK, Buxton most likely). I'm ok if you want him at 1B or DH "full time".....but is that really the best use of him?

    Or to add prospects you believe in.....there are plenty of reasons to deal him. We also don't know if he's going to be healthy, when was he last for more than 100 games (rounding up or down)? So, I'm dealing him for salary room and prospects. I understand those that want to keep him, but you can't do that unless you are moving him or Julien to DH or 1B....otherwise it is a waste of roster space for one of them.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If he's not worth a good prospect, he's not worth playing....If he's some really good hitter, then he's worth at least one good to great prospect.

    I could see trading Vazquez and signing a cheap player. He's not really hit since 2019....OTOH, last year was his worst offensive year in, well, a long time. Is it decline, or was last year just not good for him? Me? I'd deal him, sign a cheaper player, and hope Camargo continues to improve and be ready next year to help/take over from the cheaper guy. I'm all in on Martin for CF. On the tiny chance Buxton is finally healthy, I'd rather not sign a CF and have Martin be utility with Castro next year. It is really about Buxton..... Severino? I'd had have had him up last year when AK was hurt....not sure why the team tried to keep AK up and playing...
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm in no hurry to do anything....I just believe Polanco is bad at 3b and SS, and they can't have him and Farmer sitting around doing nothing many days......it's just not good asset management. Polanco brings back a very good to great prospect, IMO. They need those too, especially SP and C......If you get ride of Farmer, who backs up 3B and SS if Castro is your backup CF (or starter)? At some point, you have to trust your young guys....and for me, this is that point with Julien. IF they deal Julien instead, well, that wouldn't be the worst decision, but that's 10 million more a year for 2B than Julien, which is also an issue for this team, like it or not. At some point, you can't only have veterans making millions at every spot.

    I do almost whatever (outside canning KoC) it takes to keep him around.......not sure what that is. These guys all want to be HC.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Wow. My son and I almost flew to MN to go to both games....but I just couldn't stomach the cost.
  10. Mike Sixel
    If you plan for Buxton to be hurt, you have to go get a CF......if that's how you think Polanco plays..... He should be traded for prospect(s), preferably SP or C. I don't know how you PLAN to not play Buxton during the spring.....and it doesn't make sense to have one of Polanco or Julien on the bench, not when you can turn one of them into assets that can be on the field at the same time as the other one. Given the team's constraints now and in the future, it makes sense to keep the less expensive one, the younger one. From an asset management and 26 man perspective, it just makes sense for one of them to go.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It's not like he was all that good last year..... It is unreal to win with your third QB, the best WR in the game and your other starter at the beginning of the year, and your top two RB out..... Not thrilled with the second half, but still, in perspective, it's hard to believe.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Need a better kicker.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I take back my compliment of the coach
  14. Mike Sixel
    Chokey mcchokerson? Hope not. But the offense has disappeared completely.
  15. Mike Sixel
    He's got to go. Also, go for it there
  16. Mike Sixel
    The forty niner front four, and offense, is killing Jax. How did Minnesota beat them?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I might have to go to the bar and watch part of the game
  18. Mike Sixel
    And the coach. He's clearly a better offensive coach than I thought
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not to give up fifty points to a terrible team seems reasonable.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    One year, ten to twelve, is my guess. Possibly as low as eight with incentives. Just a guess
  21. Mike Sixel
    I mean, I'd think never
  22. Mike Sixel
    Montas or Severino
  23. Mike Sixel
    The game is on here. Has the gopher QB ever looked at a second receiver? Yikes.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Plus, let's face it, Farmer was acquired to be the bridge to Lewis, and now they have Lewis and (soon) Lee for SS.....so, it wouldn't shock me if he was not on the Twins next year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Not if the budget is an issue and it stops CF and SP from being good..... That's my concern. Though 1b is about the only spot to realistically spend on given the roster.
