    I don't think "everyone knows" that Kepler is on the trade block. He wasn't last year, and he was better this year. I have no idea about the others, but I'm betting they keep Polanco also.
  2. Mike Sixel
    probably, and that is a nitpick, sure, but I'd rather have him than Buxton, which was the conversation.

    They have permission to talk... Thad Levine joined the Twins as General Manager, second in command to President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey, in 2016. During his tenure in Minnesota, Levine has helped the Twins win three division championships in seven seasons, alongside one Wild Card appearance in 2017. Levine was born (Virginia) and raised (went to Haverford College in Pennsylvania) so a move to Boston would bring him closer to his roots. It has long been speculated that Levine wants a shot at the big chair for a MLB team and after the departure of Chaim Bloom, the Red Sox may come calling. View full rumor

    More information about "Thad Levine to the Red Sox?"

    and pinch hit.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well then, there goes Levine (maybe). They have permission to talk.

    I'm certain of this (as an opinion), but that could just be my thoughts given their deference to Gallo for so long, and sending down Wallner and Julien during the year.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I actually wanted Gallo over Buxton there also. And ya, I don't get not having Funderburk there either.

    As a fan, it's hard for me to totally be objective at times, I hated the Ryan move, but this helps me understand it somewhat.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I don't like their chances this week, but if they can win this, everything changes for their outlook, IMO.

    Fangraphs is rating how well managers did in the playoffs. Other than 1-2 moves, they liked what Rocco did this year.....having only 1 lefty in the bullpen was NOT IDEAL. Anyway, one outsider's opinion. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/alds-managerial-report-card-rocco-baldelli/
  13. Mike Sixel
    How? He was hurt. He can play first and third.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what sime of that post has to do with Lee.... All I'm asking is that they play him where they want him playing, not at short because he can always move. Because they don't want him at short any time soon.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't think people understand how good Wallner was compared to other LFers..... If he plays as many games in left as a full time starter, he's a top five LF..... Before you disagree, make sure to look at the stats and number of games started in left....
  16. Mike Sixel
    If they won't even consider Royce anywhere but third, where do they plan to play Lee? Because they should have him paying his future position, not one he'll rarely if ever play ... Please, play him where you want him in the majors.
  17. Mike Sixel
    We went to a lighting store and landscape store so I wouldn't even watch on GameDay

    My thoughts on Gordon are that he has no options, isn't young, and I don't want two backups that are the same guy, neither of which can play SS. You can only have so many players..... You need a guy like Taylor or Martin, you need a guy like Castro or Gordon, you need a power hitting OF, you need a backup SS.... Who would Gordon replace on this years roster? Thinking about position and lack of options...... If he could play SS, yes over Farmer....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't see any reason to keep Gordon at this point. Castro is better. I think Farmer is a hard choice, not sure what they'll do. Alcala? I have serious doubts, but I bet they try one more year. Thielbar is back for sure
  20. Mike Sixel
    Great defense....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Tenth in runs scored……thats Struggling ?
  22. Mike Sixel
    No one is taking kiesey and keeping him on their roster all year. Or Helman.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why? There aren't many great ones, and Julien, Miranda, Larnach, and Wallner can play first. So can Prato and Severino. Or Buxton if he can't run full time.
  24. Mike Sixel
    right. That was my point to the person that said no one in AA or lower would be taken.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's a second season. A different season. We should MUCH MORE celebrate the first season winner than we do, and admit this is a different game.
