    I understand people's frustrations.....but I don't think trading Escobar signals anything about 2019 at all. He was a FA to be, and they can try to re-sign him in the off season. I'm not even sure this is completely defeating for this year, since they have Sano coming back to play 3B soon.
  2. Mike Sixel
    they sold high. At his peak value. this could be an actual RP up fast, if they convert him sooner rather than later. with two flyers. That was his peak value.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I feel bad for his friends in the clubhouse.
  4. Mike Sixel
    That simply isn't true........as FG says in their writeup, might have been a first round pick next year with numbers/stuff like this.
  5. Mike Sixel
    this is a fair take. I prefer to think that, while they just lost depth, they have not yet thrown in the towel....as Adrianza (sp?) can play 3B until Sano returns. I understand your frustration. I like that they sold high on a guy for a change.

    I don't know what people were expecting for a utility INF for 2 months of rent......

    I'd be very disappointed in teh Twins.

    the yankees literally built their system up by trading Chapman, while being over .500 a couple years ago. They sold high, and got good players.......
  9. Mike Sixel
    those rankings are from before the year started, the number 11 guy would have been about 5-7, I'd guess, if he had stayed in AZ.
  10. Mike Sixel
    No one is saying Bobby wilson is the reason they are five games under .500.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I agree they must feel and know stuff we don't (well, they feel the same as you!)......
  12. Mike Sixel
    which costs them what, compared to hitting worse than a pitcher?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Rosario and Escobar and Berrios and Gibson have been about as good as they can be, so I'm not sure nothing has gone better than expected. As for injuries, they are below median in the league for WAR lost to injuries. they have 1 SP that has missed any real time, that is remarkably healthy.

    how is it hard to find in the results? We know exactly how he has "contributed" on offense, and it holds negative value. Nothing about the TEAM won loss record says anything about their relative value, unless you think LAA having a losing season says Trout isn't as good as Kepler last year....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone disagree with the fact they'll be better in 19 with Gibson than a minor league player.....I think some disagree they'll be competitive next year....I'm firmly on the fence, since I don't know their plans.
  16. Mike Sixel
    catcher wins? Is that really a thing? I mean, the Twins went to the playoffs with Jason Tyner at DH.....doesn't mean they couldn't have done better. The Astros have a few holes, doesn't mean those bad players are good players, just because they are on a winning team.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Garver dropping a pitch right down the middle costs the Twins what, compared to Wilson not hitting at all? That's the math.....and, yes, I don't get to see the games.....but I can't imagine Wilson is that much better at defense......I can't imagine anyone is at catcher, to make up the offensive difference.
  18. Mike Sixel
    How about Gibson and Pressley and a random minor leaguer to ATL for Austin Riley and one of their AA pitchers (Toussant or Wright). Sano moves to 1B next year, Riley is your 3B, and Toussant/Wright is a starter by mid year in MN.
  19. Mike Sixel
    After reading an Athletic article glowing about Rosario.....and his base running....I had doubts. but, man, of the qualified hitters on FG's leaderboard, he is third overall on their baserunning rankings..... huh. Kind of the "halo" effect in reverse, where it is so easy to remember the bad plays, I guess. Good on him. Actually, other than 2017, he's been VERY GOOD on the basepaths.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ya, unless he takes a discount, IMO, you have to go year to year if you keep him. Pitchers get hurt at this age..... If I'm him, I turn down the QO if healthy and still a number 2 or 3.....because someone will give him 4-6 years and a lot of money at that point.
  21. Mike Sixel
    ' As you know, I've been arguing to pick a path..... either add MLB talent, or add more high ceiling minor league players.... But don't ride the middle. So, sure, I'm happy to trade for Realmuto or a legit OF/DH/1B type.....but if they don't bring in outside talent, they are not, imo, good enough to compete with NYY, BOS, Houston, a fully healthy LAA, and probably not CLE either. So, pick a path. And, yes, you kind of have to pick it now......because keeping Gibson is picking that path (somewhat....as his value will be less in the off season). So, great, I agree, if you are going to compete, then trade for some players now or in the off season. But, pick a path.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Except I never said gut your team every year.......no place. And not on this thread. I'm happy to have a debate, but let's debate what is actually typed. If they keep him, they need to find: 1B, DH, 2B, C, and probably 2-4 RPs. If their plan is to spend the money and prospects to fill in the holes, then keep him (as I said in the quote you quoted - it is about if you are going to compete next year or not realistically).
  23. Mike Sixel
    Funny, I was kidding when I typed "free Kiriloff".....but looking at Soto and some others, maybe he should move up.
  24. Mike Sixel
    By that logic, you never trade for prospects ever. Good luck building a team.

    Free kiriloff!
