    But that means he's mostly on the bench, unless you move Kiriloff to the OF, but then you aren't seeing Wallner and Larnach out there..... I don't know if I ever need to see Sands again, but yes, Winder should be in MN full time at this point.
  2. Mike Sixel
    See, I blame me (it's all about me) for posting over and over they weren't trading Kepler, they wanted depth. For some reason, that seems to be sticking, like, well, something sticky but I'm drawing a blank on a good joke....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Truth, but that wasn't the tone at all....or maybe I just read it wrong. It seems everyone but the FO is ready to IL Buxton at this point.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Can we have on thread that isn't about Buxton and how the Twins are lying to fans?
  5. Mike Sixel
    100%. Keep him at third this year (unless you want to get Miranda back up) to get him comfortable, but let him know he's likely the starting CF next year.
  6. Mike Sixel
    good point. I would also do that. I'd even consider offering him a retirement package if he can't ever play CF again......
  7. Mike Sixel
    I agree with all of this, especially the part about learning if Wallner or Larnach or Miranda can play next year or not. I'd do the DFA part right now, but clearly the FO just will not admit Kepler hasn't been good for three years. Mind. Boggling. I especially like trading Gray and Polanco. Look, when healthy, Polanco is very good. But, it's time. They have Julien (yikes), Martin (will he ever be healthy), Lee, and Lewis (and Miranda?) for 2nd. That doesn't count Farmer or Castro or Gordon (who deserves a shot there, imo). Anyway, I almost posted something similar yesterday......so, great minds and all....

    Apologies. I'm just tired of the tone here. My bad. I do agree with you, progress in increasing batting and pitching has actually decreased the enjoyment of the game. Once we knew stealing bases wasn't a good idea, that was bad. Once we knew that trying to hit a HR instead of just making contact (early in the count) was right, the game lost something.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Don't bother. So many here think progress is bad. Imagine these people using computers and cell phones, and thinking math is bad, wrong.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Booooooooooo
  11. Mike Sixel
    Someone suggested trading Gray. I agree.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I've never said they lie.... Others here do. I've said post game comments just aren't interesting. Most interviews aren't. Ymmv, of course, and decide he's lying for some reason.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Just now on the way home from tasting beer..... My car told me I could push the microphone on the steering wheel and ask it anything.... So I asked it why the Twins can't win.... It had as many answers as the front office does.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'll bite....because by this far into the regime, our expectations should be higher. Meeting mediocre expectations just means the coaches likely aren't the issue, but those supplying them players are....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Ha, I stole it from teh game thread, but lots of (smarter than me) people don't go to those.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    As a number of us have said:
  17. Mike Sixel
    The obvious question is.....is he even healthy enough to bat at this point? But sure, Rocco said what many of us have been saying since the year started, if Buxton could, he would.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Or Headrik. OTOH, they'll need a long reliever ready for Maeda's start....
  19. Mike Sixel
    You're arguing what? You are replying to a comment that has nothing to do with your reply......You're almost making his point for him....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Varland demoted! Wow, didn't see that coming. Now if only they would do that with a certain hitter that's been bad for 3+ years.... edit: I guess this is about Maeda.....so, sure? Not that anyone but the FO thinks Maeda can go 5+ innings w/o his arm falling off. And, when they call up Maeda, they'll likely demote Balazovich, because he's young and Pagan should stay.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Balanced schedule....
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's why I never liked the rooker pick....I do agree, you care less at 49 .... But give me a pitcher or guy who can both hit and field.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think the problem is the front office. I have no idea if new coaches would help. Also, the veterans just aren't playing well. Sticking with Kepler and Gallo and pagan is on the front office...... And I'm done with them for sure.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'd prefer not to take a guy that might have to play first or DH..... repeating myself, I know The guy from Nebraska is interesting....
  25. Mike Sixel
    No. But I'd work really hard to convince him to move to the OF and put Miranda back at third. This isn't a very good team, let's find out if it can be next year or not. Personally, I'd promote Lee and Severino to AAA, put them at third and second, and see if they should be in Minnesota sooner rather than later. Julien? He's a legit hitter.... But where to play him? I'm in the camp of ILing Buxton for two weeks, then rehab for a week. Put Julien at DH and Farmer or Lewis or Lee or Severino at second.
