    They aren't winning the WS with THIS OF....and all of them are gone after this year. They 100% need to figure out if any of the guys in AA or AAA are realistic options (or at least gather more data on them). And, I'm answering so others can see where I'm coming from, not arguing with you at all.

    Lewis out at least six weeks.....another blow. Sigh. dude seems like a well above average player when healthy.
  3. Mike Sixel
    It's one of the root causes of unhappiness according to many philosophies, and I agree with them on that.

    I'd sell Gray if they can get a top 50 prospect and another guy for him. I may or may not deal Maeda, most likely I do. That, of course, destroys the rotation, so I maybe don't. This team can still win a playoff series if they get two OFers that can hit....so it is possible I just keep both these guys, but I 100% do the next line. I'd DFA Kepler, trade Gallo and Taylor, and see what the young OFers can do. Gotta figure that out for next year. I'd IL Buxton until he can play the field, but I'd consider not doing that. He's actually a slightly above average hitter right now. I'd call up Williams or Camargo to play C opposite Jeffers and use Vazquez as a backup at C and first. If all three OFers go, I call up Larnach, Celestino and Wallner to play the OF. IF Gordon comes back before the deadline, I deal Castro if I can get a 45 value prospect. If not, I keep him.

    It's hard to argue there is a total system failure when they have a .500 record, having played mostly NOT their weak divisional foes so far. To be clear, it isn't an acceptable level of success, IMO, but it isn't a total system failure. They also have the 11th rated farm system, and are about to add three top picks to that. The system was MUCH worse when they took over.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Truth! No way he should be written off after the last two years. Here's hoping he makes some good adjustments and succeeds this time.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm waiting until I'm really happy, so I can bear the pain they go thru over and over.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Mean and Unfair. I've spent the last three years praising the progress by this FO. This is the year I decided I was wrong.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It is certainly possible that Wallner can't, but we know Kepler can't.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Gallo and Kepler should maybe be backups, or DFA'd. Just because they are on the roster doesn't mean they should be. Taylor 100% should be a backup. Castro? Utilty backup. Buxton clearly can't play the OF right now. I mean, I don't know how anyone can argue those are starters and they have lots of depth. They have a lot of players, but that doesn't mean they have good players......And no, no one is trading for Gallo or Kepler or taylor, not more than a PTBNL or cash considerations. Contreras isn't a MLB player.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Kepler still on the team. Sigh. And yes, I'm going to keep complaining. Apologies up front.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Rooker has not been good since April. Every team needs a representative....
  13. Mike Sixel
    It's a risk for sure
  14. Mike Sixel
    The lack of analysis here leads me to believe he wasn't snubbed at all.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sabato and Cavaco help answer that for sure....... And Rooker. But you're right, we don't know
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think track record in the minors plays a point. It's a great topic. I'd say several years for guys with track records .... But I do think it can be fairly obvious if a guy is super unlikely to be good.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Trading is part of development, if you trade guys in your farm for legit assets. Tampa and Cleveland do this often, two teams everyone here compares them to.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So he should be cut? Just released. No hope for the future?
  19. Mike Sixel
    See above. And, I said past in the past in that post. I don't think people realize how down hitting is across the league...
  20. Mike Sixel
    He's hitting 7 percent better than an average hitter. He's put up more positive fwar than nearly every twins hitter, despite the penalty for being a DH. Y'all are looking at the wrong player
  21. Mike Sixel
    Nothing.... But if they release him, teams can sign him for the minimum, and the twins still have to pay him.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure Teel is a reach, exactly. He's what, 7th rated? Higher than Lowder.... I'm taking Clark if he's there. If not, assuming the three top college guys are there, I go with Teel, Dollander, or Lowder.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Just DFA a guy owed over one hundred million? That has been good in the past. Sure. Unreal.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Truth.
  25. Mike Sixel
    What outfield depth? They're starting three guys that need replacing, none of which are under contract next year. They don't need a starter. They aren't close to contending, no way they should be buying.
