    All good points
  2. Mike Sixel
    Would be great to sign a veteran... They'll have the money
  3. Mike Sixel
    You think that this would somehow ruin his future? To the OP, Severino is the next first baseman....
  4. Mike Sixel
    They had him in LF in the minors. They have Wallner in left, he's not going anywhere most likely, unless they don't bring back Kepler and move Wallner to RF. Also, Martin is likely to be a MUCH better LFer than Julien, much like Lee will be 2B......so if you move him for Lee, do you move him for Martin? That said, yes, Lee will field much better, but will he hit like Julien? If Julien had played all year, he'd be a top 5 or so 2b in fWAR, even with his bad defense...... Why are people so opposed to Julien being the full time DH, if he hits like this?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs has the TWins the 11th best team.....and they are over .500. I'm not sure "bad" is the correct word at all. Mediocre I can buy....but not BAD.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Speaking for me, because he's the best for the team......he hits like a legit OF, but can play 2B....and he likely can't play anywhere else. I'd be ok if he was the DH, but I don't see that happening any time soon....
  7. Mike Sixel
    100% this.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Given there have been almost none highly ranked, I'm not sure I get your point at the end. SWR and Balazovich are the only ones I can recall any national pundits liking.....it's also been 7 years. It takes 3-4 years for a pitcher to make the majors, so, what, 3-4 drafts so far? How many legit starting pitchers would you expect in 3-4 years of drafts? 1? 2 at most?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Well, the Twins desperately need a LF, and they kept him at 2B even when Polanco returned.....so, maybe?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I really also wonder at some of the thoughts here....do we really think the Twins haven't watched him play in the minors and majors? They've placed Severino at first in AAA for a game or two, I think that tells us something about Julien at first, and Severino anywhere (I am a believer in his bat, no idea on his glove, other than it isn't great).
  11. Mike Sixel
    All fair, which is I put "allegedly" in my second post. We just don't know yet.
  12. Mike Sixel
    You don't have to know someone is under age for it to be illegal.... It being in the DR does complicate things for sure, given the different legal systems.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If he's raking in AAA next year, he's more valuable as a trade piece, IMO....but you might be right this off season. Not sure what his value is at this point......but while I like depth, I like better players even more, and this team needs better RP and more pitching prospects.....but I don't see them dealing him unless he's part of a bigger package.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Right....the other option is he's in AAA, waiting for Lewis, Lee, Julien, Kirilolff and maybe Severino to get hurt....and maybe Polanco, but I think Polanco isn't back next year. Oh, and also Austin Martin (though I think he's an OF at this point).
  15. Mike Sixel
    MLB has.....it just surfaced yesterday....but, fair call. What team will employ a dude that allegedly has sex with girls under 16?
  16. Mike Sixel
    It is possible Franco has played his last MLB game.
  17. Mike Sixel
    hahahaha. thanks for that. That's Martin going forward, though Martin might just be the starting LF or CF .....so, maybe? But, it was a good laugh.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd trade Miranda this off season. I see no realistic spot for him going forward......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think people forget about this when looking at the farm system.....Julien, Wallner, Lewis, AK and Jeffers (and Duran) are no long prospects......Obviously a big IF, but IF those players can actually stay healthy, this team has a decently good future.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I was surprised how young some of these guys are....and anyone giving up on SWR, at that age at AAA? Glad they aren't the GM of this team.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    You thought I was calling for the FO heads before.....that would really be the 2045 last straw for me.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but they are wrong. The stats are mind blowingly awful. Truly.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Some truly mind boggling posts in this thread.....trade Julien? Wow. Hiding Kiriloff at 1B? Wow. Just trade Buxton? Wut? On topic.....Julien can't play first right now, and it looks like he's unlikely to ever be good at it. I'd think he does less damage at 2B than at first, way less chances. I'm guessing they really didn't like what they saw in the minors of him in LF, because that's the obvious spot for him on this current roster...... Long term? DH or 2B, I'd guess, though Buxton makes that difficult.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    As a number five? Nah. He has options....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Dobnak is your number five next year.... I'd bring back Maeda and QO Gray. If they can sign the tip arm next year, I would, but I think they're outbid. I have no confidence anyone in the minors other than dobnak and Varland will be ready next year, and they're both number four, five, types.
