    Great write up!
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious who you think is playing out of position.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's been my top complaint with the FO and the bullpen....going into every year with too many guys that can't be optioned. Rogers, Duffey, Alcala are locks unless Rogers is traded (which seems very unlikely). Thielbar is likely back, imo. After that? No real idea. I would 100% prefer Gant in the bullpen, but I think he's a starter. Really, I'd like 3-4 guys that are piggy back starters with each other, do those count as bullpen? Only Ober and Ryan s/b locks for the rotation, which is why I think Gant is not a RP to start the year, alas.

    19th in fWAR among all right fielders, on a medium priced contract. If he hadn't been hurt this year, he'd be around 14th or so.....What do people want from a veteran on a reasonable deal?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Polanco. Ryan and Ober. Alcala turning it around? Jeffers getting lots of time. Despite everyone here....Kepler will put up 2 fWAR. Donaldson.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Number 1 is the off season decisions by the FO......almost none of them were right. From Simmons (the worst Twin by fWAR this year) to the pitchers they brought in, almost all the decisions didn't work. That's a big contrast from other years.......and not at all what any system projected. Hoping this off season is much, much, better.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Regardless if Ryan is a 1 or a 4 (I'm guessing a 4 that pitches like a 3 often).....it looks like it might be a pretty good trade.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    And yet, the stats don't bear that out. If it was, teams would be doing it....and they aren't.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It isn't that easy. Really. If players could hit against the shift, they would. But all the data shows they can't.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I did say sign a reclamation project.... I'm not sure any of these three fit that definition of you are trading for one though.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Trade for an already good pitcher, or don't bother, imo. They have plenty of prospects to fix.... No sense trying to fix a veteran. That's why you sign a bounce back candidate.
  12. Mike Sixel
    You wouldn't pay $20MM per year for 3-4 fWAR per year at SS?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Jeffers tied for 13th most home runs among catchers.....and close to the top 10 (though getting there seems unlikely).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not interested. He's not a SS with the glove at all from all reports.
  15. Mike Sixel
    He leads with his elbow, which hides the pitch longer.
  16. Mike Sixel
    the headline and the last paragraph don't go very well together.....he still looks like possibly a mid-rotation starter. Frankly, I doubt ANY scouting reports had him that good.....so maybe the headline is right, but the last paragraph isn't... I think he's a 4, that will sometimes pitch like a 3. That's a good pitcher. 2 WAR a year, give or take. It was a GREAT trade.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I've never liked the Rooker pick, so you are nicer than me.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I guess Miranda has been a tiny bit better.....their numbers are nearly identical. That said, Miranda is a better defender, and is younger......but I don't get why anyone thinks he needs to be up this year (not sure if you do or not).....but he's no more earned it than Rooker did, which was my point. Rooker will be on another team's roster, and Miranda will be in MN at some point next year. IMO.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Did 29 teams pass on every free agent the twins have signed? I think we are just going to disagree here, which is fine with me.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Did you look at them in AAA? I don't disagree, but that's hardly the point. He's no more earned it than Brent did.... Why does he need to be up this year?
  21. Mike Sixel
    HIs AAA stats are worse than Rooker's.....what is the hurry, here?
  22. Mike Sixel
    What a play by Jeffers. Wow.
  23. Mike Sixel
    He wasn't expected to be a 1.0 fWAR guy.........who would you have put at SS? I'm guessing 99% of the people in MLB and this site would disagree with you, btw.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Those aren't even comparable situations at all. Not even close.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It is almost like looking at BA alone, and not all aspects of a hitter, including position, is a good idea...... Jeffers is putting up decent numbers for a CATCHER who is a rookie. He's 31st in fWAR among catchers......partly because he's 15th in home runs among MLB catchers......if you only looked at Home Runs and saw a player ranked 15th at his position in all of MLB, you'd think he was great.....
