    Certainly seems possible. They are flush in SS prospects, including one that got to AAA this year. IF they deal Buxton, I'd move Lewis to CF, Martin to LF, and Peraza (from NYY) to SS at AAA to start the year. I'd also want one of their top pitching prospects and 2 fliers. I don't want them to deal Buxton, no, I don't. But if they do, NYY are one of the more likely teams involved.

    I'm not sure why you didn't use the board, and not minor league leader board, when looking at the hitters? I mean, Lewis and Martin are number 1 and 3 on the list of team prospects......and there are three others in the top 12. That's five of the top 12 prospects as hitters, and Miranda isn't even in that part of the list (yet). Agreed on the pitching depth, this isn't the old Twins at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    ? That isn't how most fans here feel about Berrios being traded. As for the clickbait title? No. There is no comparison.
  4. Mike Sixel
    One year deal. If they are good, great! If they are bad, he's traded at the deadline for a decent prospect. One of the easier decisions of the off season.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If he says he won't sign here, I trade him. No looking back at all.
  6. Mike Sixel
    No incentives? Sign him. And hope he's healthy. If you'd trade him, for what? Not generically, but specifically. Would you then punt next year, and trade more? Those are reasonable decisions....just curiuos.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Martin is your starting LF or CF (if Buxton is dealt) by May something. That means Miranda is likely not playing the LF at all. The Twins are flush with OF....I'd be really surprised if they all get hurt/stink, and Miranda plays out there. I doubt they deal Donaldson at this point, but if they do, Miranda is likely at 3B to open the year, imo. Most likely he's in AAA to start the year, and if someone gets hurt at 3B/2B/1B/DH, he might come up. I think he's traded, not that I would necessarily do that, btw.....but they NEED a veteran starting pitcher or two.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    What? Jeffers is nearly top ten in home runs among catchers....I don't know what people expect out of first year players, but I don't see how anyone doesn't think he has a ton of value. He's going to put up over 1 war this year....
  9. Mike Sixel
    A great list of players......probably as deep in potential starters as this system has been in some time. Health....next year we ant health.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why are they trading him?
  11. Mike Sixel
    With certainty. Like most successful teams these days..... They just don't have the talent this year, with the injuries and trades, and lack of depth.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Or his lack of defense and position other than DH, which is what most people here are saying.....Where does he play next year? With Sano, Garver, Donaldson, Arraeaz, and Kiriloff and maybe Larnach (who is younger and can almost play OF) and maybe Martin or Lewis in the OF? Or Celestino? The issue is simple....they have a ton of bat first (only?) guys. There isn't room for all of them on the roster, esp. if you want Martin and/or Miranda up next year taking up LF and 3B.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Wade can play some defense. Rooker cannot. If he had any chance on defense, he'd start in left next year. But I think that is Gordon, Martin, Larnach, Celestino territory next year. I don't know where he plays much next year, assuming kiriloff is healthy at all ... Which seems like a big assumption.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Glad I stopped caring..... Sorry to those that do
  15. Mike Sixel
    Great write up!
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious who you think is playing out of position.
  17. 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.
  18. Mike Sixel
    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?
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    And yet, the stats don't bear that out. If it was, teams would be doing it....and they aren't.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
