    Seattle gave up their top prospect and three more, the top bring one of the top twenty overall. So, the twins would have to give up Lewis, and three more of their top fifteen to match that. You'd be good with that?

    That fence moved fast.

    Drats.

    Less than 100 pitched 120 innings last year.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I don't expect 150 innings from hardly any MLB starters anymore. 55 pitchers did that last year in all of MLB.

    I have extremely low expectations of this trade deadline for the Twins. 1-2 ok RPs is about it. They'll need health and luck after that....the O and D should get better...but the SP and RP need help, IMO.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He was removed because the other team brought in a righty so they put in Arraez. Nothing more or less than that.

    I don't agree they relied on HOPE this year. Ryan and Ober were likely to be good. They traded for a legit starter. Archer had great stuff last year, but they did roll the dice on his health. That left the five spot with Bundy, Winder, Dobnak, Paddock (dice roll on health), Smeltzer. Outside a handful of teams, most don't have 5 legit starters. Sure, the top 3 weren't GREAT, but they are all number 2/3 types. Given there are about 15 number 1s (IMO), that's not bad. I really think people sell the reality of pitching short. They also could HOPE (yup) on Maeda being healthy this year, but I always thought he'd be a RP this year if healthy. Yes, I'd rather have another very good starter like Castillo, and for the right price I'd trade for him (or similar), but I think people are very unrealistic about the starting pitching in MN compared to other MLB teams (rather than the past). edit to add: MN is league median in starting pitching this year. That's not great, but given that they literally built this staff in one year (other than Ober), it's pretty impressive. The minors were completely barren of legit starters outside Berrios when this FO took over. The backsliding of prospects this year is a real bummer, as is Winder's and Ober's health. I'm hopeful that 1-2 guys will step up early next year, so I do agree they need one more legit starter.

    Free concerts!

    Gio on paternity leave.

    you're suggesting the pitchers forgot everything Wes taught them in one week? I doubt that is the issue at all.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff, thanks.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The front office that traded for Ryan? The one that won the division two of the last three years, and is leading this year? That one?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I can't imagine what JJ will get ...
  15. Mike Sixel
    True. I'd certainly do that. No need for him here, and several contenders have black holes at SS or second.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I like your odds of being correct
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure any non contender wants Beckham. You'd have to find a contender that needs a second baseman and make a three way deal.
  18. Mike Sixel
    You might want to check his stats....
  19. Mike Sixel
    You're kind of double counting there.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's a discussion piece. Like, literally something a national site does also. Not sure why you read it if you weren't interested..... I agree with Cody and fangraphs, Buxton is at the top. I think Miranda will be on the list next year, or so least honorable mention.
  21. Mike Sixel
    See my update.... He's already backtracking..... Also, he's a true rental. Max's value is partly driven by the great contract....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Got it. And, that makes sense. Good point. Benentendi has stated he'll get vaccinated if traded to a contender.... Edit.... And he's already backtracking on that! Shocker.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Mine too.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Kepler is on fangraphs honorable mention list in the trade value.... What do you mean about trade poison?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Yankees and KC make a trade.
