    MLB.com has Martin 16th, Fangrapsh 23rd.........that's a real hitter who can play CF and maybe SS.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Wow.....2 players Fangraphs has in the top 50 of all the minors! That's a haul......
  3. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs likes him, but he's been not GREAT this year......unlucky in outcomes, and supposedly a mid-rotation piece. In other words, Berrios-ish, maybe more Pineda, in 2 years or so.

    Here is the Fangraphs board, filtered to the Jays. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2021-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&team=tor

    I agree they have over drafted LH corner OFers that can't field the OF........ My thoughts are that if Buxton is out for a week or so, Kepler is a decent CF option. He's not playing there this year because Buxton is out longer, and the season is lost. Kepler can also field RF. I don't think any of their other ML or AA or AAA OFers field and hit. Also, Kepler is hitting slightly above league average this year, after being hurt and not playing well. I expect 3 or so WAR next year out of him.....Kiriloff is the 1B of the future. Larnach probably should DH, but is the LF (hoping he can improve somehow..... in the field.....).
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think fans vastly undervalue Kepler. And this team would miss him. I see almost zero chance Berrios doesn't hit free agency, given his quotes. So I can't see an extension.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say they were good decisions..... But that they used the money. It's pretty clear he wanted out. It wasn't a good trade..... But lots of teams have traded guys like this and used those players to build good teams. If the Twins deal Berrios, they could do very well, or badly, or in between. I'd only deal him if I was extremely confident I was getting at least two legit MLB players back, or one superstar type. Not that that is a guarantee, but that's what I'd want.
  8. Mike Sixel
    You're willing to trade Kepler and Donaldson, who are signed longer than Berrios? How is trading Berrios blowing everything up?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Oops. I'd love to re-sign him next year, or even to an extension this year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    2? He's made it very clear he wants to test free agency. He's not signing a one year deal unless he's hurt. Unless you are counting this year. I don't take a lousy offer either, no way. I don't think they do either.
  11. Mike Sixel
    This ignores, as stated above, that the Twins used that money to resign players. And that Santana had no interest in being in Minnesota. If they can get great prospects back, I'm ok if the deal Berrios. He wants at least twenty million per year. And has been clear he will test free agency.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Who? Who can play d and hit? Who can backup center in a season that isn't lost? No one in this system. Not next year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is outhitting the average MLB player this year. Is he great? No. But he's not the issue everyone seems to think.
  14. Mike Sixel
    This will never happen: Berrios and Rortverdt One of their top 3 starters, one of their top 2 catchers, a pitcher and a SS in the 40 range.
  15. Mike Sixel
    And Tampa? Still a ton of talent..... https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2021-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&team=tbr
  16. Mike Sixel
    Crazy good options in Toronto: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2021-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&team=tor
  17. Mike Sixel
    Plus they keep drafting bat first OFers......No idea how they expect to win anything meaningful that way. No idea.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If they hadn't sucked, the Twins might not be aggressive sellers....probably needed more than those two to be good, but still.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    No idea how the Red Sox could compete against those others with their prospects list. No idea.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Yankees trying to corner the market on anti vaxxers.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Ya, that wasn't my most clear post..... The only guy that has to get moved is Pineda. I'd also like Berrios moved, as it seems clear he's not signing here. Other than that? Ineffective or injured guys are the issue right now......
  22. Mike Sixel
    If Pineda is on the roster, they blew it. That's minimum...... Feel free to disagree.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If the FO blows this deadline, I'm going to be very unimpressed.
  24. Mike Sixel
    You could be right....and you have good facts. So far this year, ZERO top 100 prospects have moved (likely changing with Sherzer and Berrios....but I think most here will be disappointed, and wrong to be so, about the return).
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ryan Pepiot and Andy Pages and a 40 value guy for Berrios......Pages bats R and is only 20ish in A ball. I'd prefer a SS, but Pages looks legit and they Twins could use a righty OF who can also actually field.
