    Lots of people saying take a hitter... Are these the same people complaining about the pipeline? Or trading for pitchers!
  2. Mike Sixel
    Nothing. They didn't sign him or keep Turner...
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Like Jax should have been.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Oh, sure, I wasn't suggested a 1:1 deal....just what I'd target in a deal.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If his wrist is healed, he's probably a 2 - 2.5 WAR player. Not great, but above average. If his wrist isn't the only issue with his hitting last year, they'll need a new option.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Because he's bad, and they let like 15 guys go to save money this off season, passing on all the great SS that only cost money. That said, I think this is a reload year for them for some reason, and they'll spend HUGE next year (ohtani and ?).
  7. Mike Sixel
    He was actually good last year, even though he was used wrong. Frankly, given you want him rushing the QB every play, I don't get the 3-4 alignment, but I'm no technician.....I bet they keep both him and Zadarius. If 2 of the 3 injured DBs from last year's draft are even decent next year, the D looks very different with competent ILBs are using Hunter correctly. Very different.

    Gordon isn't a SS, but Farmer going there did immediately pop into my head. Dodgers have TWO catchers in the top 100 prospect list on Fangraphs, btw...... I don't see the Twins doing this, but I'd certainly consider it given their SS "depth" right now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Apparently the GM didn't mention either current starting ILB when talking options..... And was pretty clear Cook was not staying at this price
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. The only way you can deal him is for a LATE pick.....and even then, I doubt it.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Dalvin's agent posting things on Twitter that sure hint he expects not to be in MN anymore....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Neither of these indicate the bullpen is a PRIORITY. They indicate they are going to take a flyer on two guys that might be good. If they aren't, they won't be on the roster. I'm not sure how this is hard to understand.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I don't like this either. And, it isn't that they CAN'T stick at SS, it is there is only ONE SS on the field at a time. And, SS and CF are often the most athletic, so they can move around to a new position. This is just a really bad/odd way to think of elite athletes, as "positionless".
  14. Mike Sixel
    My parents would be so proud. Great community here!
  15. Mike Sixel
    10 years ago is a completely different game. People didn't swing for the fences, and pitchers threw like 93......
  16. Mike Sixel
    This. Both picks were second guessed immediately when made. I wish both of them well. I'm sure they are working hard to be the player they want to be. Both seem however, limited in that likelihood.
  17. Mike Sixel
    The more I think about this, the more I'd approach the owners and tell them I want to blow up the team (outside three OL and JJ) and start over (if I was the GM and coach). I'd trade for as many picks in next year's draft as possible. They gave us a fun year this year.....I'd be ok with two bad years for the improved odds of long term success.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd love that.....or, you know, Nola in there ( no chance). The rating services are definitely down on Prelipp for some reason.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Lots of bad luck with injury with this latest batch. Even Martin had a wrist issue last year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure there will be a Cincinnati Red they should bring in instead
  21. Mike Sixel
    Larnach, Wallner, and any other hitter can play first. For the OP, where is he playing in Minnesota? They are filled with infielders at this point, not even counting Gordon.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    So you are good with Farmer or Solano at DH A LOT? I mean, who is YOUR DH given this roster? Gordon?
  23. Mike Sixel
    This.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Seriously, "analytics says starters only go 5 innings" is bunk. They had Bundy and Archer and injured players last year as starters. Move on already.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ya, that was very clear.... They don't really have much of a DH at this point, do they? Gordon? Farmer? Whichever big time player has the day off from the field? No Larnach or Wallner at this point, not without an injury.
