    Meh. Gordon is on the bench, and Simmons is in the lineup.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    So it still counts they won the division? Also, it is a counting stat, so giving a raw number is quite misleading. He was much closer, as a percent, to the maximum fWAR than .5 seems it would be.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'd protect Severino.
  4. Mike Sixel
    No biggie there either. All 6 are replaceable, IMO.

    Great week! I think we are learning three things at the end of the year: Polanco is a very good 2B (with O, D, baserunning....maybe not a good D, but very good at the others) and should be a 2B. Arraez is not a fielder, and should be a DH or traded. Ober is a lock for a SP spot next year (assuming health). I'm not sure we are learning much else with any certainty at this point.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I count maybe 6 guys on that list I'd protect for sure. That leaves plenty of room. Rob Refsnyder, OF Charlie Barnes, LHP Danny Coulombe, LHP Edgar Garcia, RHP Ralph Garza Jr., RHP Juan Minaya, RHP
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm not even a little worried about his offense at this point. But I understand why others might be. My point was that I'd rather have him at DH than OF......putting up another blocker for Rooker.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Heck, I'd prefer Larnach at DH over Rooker, with an OF of Martin, Buxton, Kepler.....Reifsnyder as the 4th OF for now.....and Larnach and Kiriloff available if needed in the OF.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I admit part of my opinion is emotional....I hate early picks on bat first, no fielder, players, and really disliked this pick. A lot. I really did think he'd hit better..... Maybe he will. Sano, in a terrible year.... Is still hitting very slightly above the average MLB player. Not great.... Clearly.... But still. That still leaves Arraez, who no championship team would want as a fielder. And Garver.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Sano. Donaldson. Garver. Arraez. All are better hitters. All could/should DH. Maybe Miranda.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Based on what? He's just not good, and hatd negative defensive value. If they keep him, where does he play?
  12. Mike Sixel
    There is no evidence the Twins are banking on him for next year. So I'm not sure I understand?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Last couple days an ad has stretched the site wider than my phone's screen.... No idea which one. And it is intermittent.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well. Dang. They 100 percent need two picthets from outside the org.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather take the chance Lewis works out, and have a great SS signed, than Lewis isn't really good in 2023..... Do people expect him to be good in his first full year in the majors? They aren't signing two expensive starting pitchers, imo. They probably don't need a third baseman, second baseman, first baseman, catcher, or outfielder...... And Donaldson comes off the books in two years. I guess Buxton and an elite pitcher is possible.... But I'd rather sign a SS and Buxton and one great SP.... Which they can afford. I understand others don't agree, and I'm ok with that.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Good God. So I'm wrong, so all my thoughts are wrong? Then the front office is always wrong? Tedious. And a logical fallacy. People keep saying the Twins can trade for an ace..... Have they? Has any mid market team? How many have been traded at all, that had more than a year of control?
  17. Mike Sixel
    That is a terrible infield defense. Yuck. Run prevention matters.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Sign one of these guys. At most, they'll sign one expensive FA pitcher this year. No way I put polanco back at SS. The D is already awful....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Sorry. Gant. Yes.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not the front office.... They need to be right. Not me. My argument is simple, the best players are at the top of the draft more often than not.... And they'll never sign an ace to a long term deal. Lewis could be bad, just as the pitchers could. I don't really get that part of the argument. I wanted Greene, and eventually chickened out and said Gore, yes. Gore looks like a bad choice right now..... So yes, I was likely wrong. I'd that somehow invalidates my opinion they should take elite pitching when the hitter and pitcher are ranked close, then I guess I'm just wrong.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Of all the players to question on that play? Larnach turned a double into that. Polanco double clutched and made a terrible throw.. and Ryan threw a cookie up there....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not true. They could have paid Lewis top dollar and still signed enlow. They just saved money. They may have suffered a minor penalty, but it was in the range of acceptable. Also, I'd trade both of them for Greene right now, easy. I'd even throw in Rooker.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm baffled at the Lewis ranking. He's never shown the ability to hit, and it's not clear he's a SS. One of his best attributes is speed, and he just had knee surgery. I don't think he's even in the top five for me, until he shows he can hit. I really want to be wrong....btw, everyone here ripped the Greene choice once he was hurt.... Who is destroying AAA right now? Take the upside pitching, because you'll never sign it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, Larnach turned a double into an inside the park HR, and he'd have been out if Polanco doesn't double clutch. Then, just bad D....so Ryan was not good, but not as bad as the boxscore would show.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Where does Larnach play if Arraez is DH? Sano? Kiriloff? Garver? Donaldson? IMO, Martin is the LF by mid next year.....Kiriloff is 1B, and Sano or Larnach or Donadlson is DH.....or even Miranda. Arraez's only position is to back up all those guys plus back up Polanco?
