    agreed
  2. Mike Sixel
    They almost need to make a trade from depth again. That's what people forget about last trade deadline..... Keirsey, Severino, Martin, Carnargo, Enlow are 100% getting traded or protected, IMO.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I mean, he should be playing 1B every day. Kiriloff can move to LF or RF (when Miranda is ready). They didn't play him at first this year because he was the starting 3B...... I'm hopeful, still, but was never as high on him as the rest of the site seemed to be. Leewis, IMO, should be the starting CF next year. I'm not holding my breath on that. I agree Lee and Severino are a year away.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    That's a reasoned take, that understands why the Twins almost had to do the deal.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Back to the surgery, it makes sense to wait. He can play, hopefully, thru August, have the surgery, and be ready for April. It makes sense to use the season to work on hitting (and fielding at 2B?) and use the off season for recovery. IMO.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'll give you this, your dislike of war is at least made with an actual understanding of them.
  7. Mike Sixel
    That's what I was trying to do, but clearly failed. Oh well.
  8. Mike Sixel
    The goal of everyone is to avoid cutting into the human body if possible....
  9. Mike Sixel
    You don't think the Dodgers sign him to that contract at the time, or don't want him now? Those are two very different things....
  10. Mike Sixel
    dumpster diving? They have the highest payroll and biggest deals in team history.
  11. Mike Sixel
    LF or 2B or CF were always the option for him. No idea why he kept playing SS. As for surgery, as with any human, the goal is to avoid it if possible. We'll see. I feel bad for the young man. He's not had any good luck (health wise) in 2 years.
  12. Mike Sixel
    AK in right, Kepler sitting tonight, so that's a start I guess....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Some random poster is evidence of what?
  14. Mike Sixel
    AK in right, and Kepler sitting. We are so close now.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Did they? Who did that? Then there are the posters that are sure he could play, even though the people with that data aren't playing him....
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's a fair question. I mean, anyone can play the OF if they can run, but that's not the same as playing the outfield effectively. And, yes, it is about risk some for sure. Perhaps you are right, and he could effectively play the OF..... What risk level would you tolerate on him? Both health and effectiveness......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Diggs is whining? About Allen? Wow. Not really surprised.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Yikes.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Some people here seem to think he could be out there....
  20. Mike Sixel
    If Buxton could play the field, he would be. The idea that the front office and manager would not play an elite fielder out there if they could is absurd. Especially when you have Julien as an option at DH. I'm not sure how this needs to be said, or is controversial, but apparently a lot of people here think that he could be in the field, but isn't for some reason.
  21. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, if he is a permanent DH, that will not be ideal. It will definitely hurt this team, as there are likely better options that can't play the field.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I never could figure out how they could pay that much top talent. I hope they survive.
  23. Mike Sixel
    That pitcher was not good, and not young. If anyone thought he'd be this good, the Twins wouldn't have originally gotten him for virtually nothing.
  24. Mike Sixel
    mike: The Twins seem to have painted themselves into a corner here, and just need to hope Buxton and CC and Polanco hit…..Kepler hasn’t hit for three years, would you move on? 2:11 Avatar Jay Jaffe: They’re committed to Buxton and Correa long-term, and when you do that, you have to be prepared for the occasional lag in production but hope they eventually approximate something closer to their projected capability. As for Kepler, he’s been a fixture in the lineup since 2016 and still has just two seasons of above-average production to show for it, and those came in 2019-20. It’s past time to move on, and worth seeing what Matt Wallner can do even if he does have some holes in his game.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's not true. You judge a decision based on what you know at the time. For example, getting home while driving drunk is not a good decision just because you didn't kill someone this time. The decision to sign Buxton can be the right decision, and it can still not work. It's the right decision to exercise.... And you can still blow out a knee, for example.
