    Is there any evidence this is true? That it is more valuable than playing in the majors and getting your feet wet? I really doubt it. I have no idea how Moran isn't up already. Ryan should be up and starting, given the injuries, at this point. No need to call up Martin. No idea where Miranda plays.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I am betting Martin is your LF at some point next year, if Buxton is retained. Unless he can play SS, that is.
  3. Mike Sixel
    You just agreed with me. Miranda won't be up, or they need to trade Sano if everyone is healthy. I just don't see anyway to have Polanco and Arraez and Miranda on the same team. Also, Garver will catch maybe 80ish games.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I wasn't talking about dealing Miranda, but Donaldson. I see that wasn't clear.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Where does Arraez play? Or Sano? P
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think I'd trade Donaldson, but it wasn't even 12 months ago no GM thought Miranda was worth claiming.....but I don't have HIGH hopes for next year, so I would deal him most likely. Also, Arraez. That said, Lewis could end up at 3rd if he's not a SS (or CF if Buxton is gone).
  7. Mike Sixel
    Him being bad for 25 games shows nothing to any front office. It is a tiny sample size. People either believe in him or not at this point.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Being a fair weather fan is 100% more rational.... The Mauer contract was fair, no doubt. And it didn't hinder the team.....once Ryan was gone they spent way more money.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    "stop playing guys out of position" and "put Polanco at SS" don't really work well together as thoughts..... IMO, they'll need to trade one of Miranda or Arraez or Donaldson.....there isn't room for all three of them on the roster next year, not with AK and Sano on the roster, and Garver at C/DH. Not unless you move AK back to the OF......and even then....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. But I'd protect Colina I think also.
  11. Mike Sixel
    The only question that matters to me is if he's signed to a long term deal or not. I would endorse that.
  12. Mike Sixel
    If they want Ryan up at the start of next year, he'll pitch in MN this year to get acclimated. If they don't do that, I would bet money he's not on the opening day roster next year. He's 25....no need to baby him. Now, he might need work on certain pitches, that's different. But, there is no reason to protect him at this point. Me? I'd call him up to get him acclimated to the majors. But I don't know what they'll do. I am not worried about losing a fringe player at this point, so I'm not worried about the 40 man.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Those other guys could field, even steal a base. This can't be a real comparison.
  14. Mike Sixel
    One request.... Let us know what position Martin plays in the future.... Thanks. I do love these.
  15. Mike Sixel
    He should be moved to the bullpen soon. It's his best chance to make money, and he's not young. I do love these profiles!
  16. Mike Sixel
    Of all the moves I'd make right now....I'd promote him to AAA for a day, then MN. See what he's got. It isn't like they can hide him...and they'll need to do something with him at some point. (well, that and a certain RP getting time in MN.....). I'd even DFA Simmons to do it at this point.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Can you name anyone that has said errors don't matter? What people say is that they are not sufficient to gauge defense. Those are two very different things.
  18. Mike Sixel
    260 .... That is way over the MLB average this year. Also higher than his average in general.... So he's better with men on base then not.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Rooker is much worse. I would prefer Larnach DH or be traded, but that's a very different discussion than someone saying he's awful and shown no future.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Like how someone feels about Larnach.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    He's been bad at hitting two of the last three years. This year? Worse than bad. He's below average in fwar three straight years now. I really hope he's not brought back. Gordon should be there the rest of this year.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Which, imo, is the fallacy of "you can wait until next year to sign a guy" talk here.....if you have a hole, and there is a great player you can afford, sign him. Even if you "won't be good" until a year later.....that hole is filled. Trying to time your contention with when the exact player you need is there in FA is like trying to time the stock market.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Please no.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Think you missed the bit......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Given their youth, experience, I'm not worried about catcher with Jeffers and Rortvedt. SS? Big issue. It's a much deeper system now, which is great.
