    I dont hold the current FO accountable for the two pitchers at all. Imagine drafting a college RP from the Big 10 in the top ten of the MLB draft! That's a firable offense.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Truth on that last part. But, given the last two years, not holding my breath on that.
  3. Mike Sixel
    He turned down 13MM.......and passable is the high point, but sure, he's passable.
  4. Mike Sixel
    They could be aggressive like ATL was last year, with their elite players..... I'd bet on Lee in AA to start, and in STP by June. I doubt Lewis is running full speed by early June. I hope to be wrong. I have no idea if Lee can play SS, so I won't say what they should do. Given what little we know, I'd move him to 3B or RF because you are really hoping Lewis is your SS. Miranda can play 1B or DH if Lee is at third. I'd put Martin at 2B or LF or CF at this point. He's not a SS given Lewis and Lee.

    Fair. That was not a good comp, Wallner is likely better going forward. My bad.
  6. Mike Sixel
    They already have Gallo on the roster, he just spells his name Wallner. They had a cheaper version of Turner. They traded him to give 3B to Miranda full time. Pollock? Ugh. They have better on the roster. This is my point.....you can have CC and two rookies, or you can have these three. I know which I prefer.

    No one is complaining about Urshela.....we are pointing out that he's gone and his production needs to be replaced when you look at team WAR. Nothing more or less......And, Miranda was on the team much of last year, even with Urshela. You aren't replace Urshela with Miranda, you are replacing him with someone that wasn't on the team last year.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather extend Gray, as I think he's more likely to be healthy than Mahle, but that's just a thing we can quibble on. I'm all in on dealing Arraez for AA player(s).
  9. Mike Sixel
    It was less then Seager and Turner got, and only 5 million more than Xander got. Would you predict CC would take that?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I said it yesterday when they had the same thing.....they need an editor. If they are going to schedule articles, they need to edit them.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I've literally been on the trade Kepler train for two years now....and now I'm on the deal nearly everyone train. Again, we agree, they need to product talent (and not draft Sabato and the other guy who's name I can't spell in round one). I also said trade Berrios. I'm still not seeing where we disagree.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Truth. they've had more than a few good moves. Injuries and some bad moves have hurt a lot.....and sticking with terrible RPs much too long.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Their best move by far.
  14. Mike Sixel
    They also lost Urshela, who had a great WPA and decent WAR.......and replaced him with no one so far.
  15. Mike Sixel
    That's fine.....but then be aggressive with the next tier, or, like I said, sign three mediocre players. Unfortunately, they've opted for the latter, not the second tier players. That's largely not worked (to be clear, I like the catcher they just signed).
  16. Mike Sixel
    You can have one elite player and two rookies, or three mediocre to decent free agents. By the end of the deal, two mediocre free agents or one good one. Is a team really better off signing three mediocre players? I don't know, but I'd guess not.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Nice. Have fun everyone!
  18. Mike Sixel
    Which will be cancelled with two episodes to go for tax reasons.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    You can have one elite player and two rookies, or three ok to mediocre free agents. That's the calculation you need to make. Also, no one is saying build the team with free agents.... No one. We are saying supplement the team you've built in trades and drafting.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Two years ago, you said the Twins should sign a top pitcher. This year you said they should sign a top pitcher or SS. You've already said they should sign a top pitcher next year. I'm not sure where we disagree.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The back end will be the cost of one good free agent by the time it comes. That's so far off, we have no idea if one good free agent will matter or not.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Thanks! I really do appreciate you coming here. I bet people would read whatever history you could give..... If we could find a way to be polite.
  23. Mike Sixel
    hahahahahahahaha. Good one. Tough questions. I am still laughing.
  24. Mike Sixel
    My pivot is to deal Kepler and Polanco and Maeda and Mahle and sign Gray to an extension. Punt this year, and give the youth the team and see who sinks or swims. Martin in LF or 2B (and backup CF). Wallner in RF or DH. Larnach in LF or RF. Lewis up as soon as he's healthy to play SS. Kiriloff to 1B. Maybe even Julien at 2B or RF or DH or first (if AK is hurt). But, please, pick a position for Julien and Martin and stick them there even if they are in AAA. Put Lee at 3B or 2B or RF. Be ready to promote him like ATL did with their top people last year. I also consider moving Duran to SP, since they've shown they won't even sign second tier FAs......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Also, how many playoff games has this org won in the last 30 years? Is this approach working?
