    I don't get why it isn't Arraez. Or Kiriloff. Maybe Larnach. There is no need to deal for a first baseman.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think the struggles of one of the top pitching prospects in AAA is a bigger story, but I get others don't agree.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Kiriloff played first last year, and was great. He is a first baseman. Why not Terry? Because he most likely isn't close to the player the others are. Might be. But not likely.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Gordon and Arraez were moved out of desperation. I don't get how context seems not to matter to how we think about their decision making.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm on the "take the best C or OF or SS train" this year.
  6. Mike Sixel
    how 3B isn't listed here is very confusing.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think top end starting pitcher is the biggest weakness. We just don't know about any of these guys other than probably Gray and maybe Ryan and Ober. But none of those is elite. LF is fine. Any issues there are short term. 1B? I'd consider Larnach there, but his arm has been surprisingly effective in LF. Arraez is fine there. Really, 3B is the biggest issue, and if the incumbent doesn't hit, Lewis should be there this year. If you look at the bad teams, there isn't much the Twins could use.....other than Montas, imo.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to him.
  9. Mike Sixel
    that was disappointing.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'll be shocked if he doesn't finish 5, maybe 6.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I clearly stated repeatedly he should be up and playing....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm good with that....like I said earlier, I'd have sent Miranda down and played Lewis.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ya, MN is definitely winning the weather war the last few weeks. The last 6 here have mostly been not great. At some point that will change.
  14. Mike Sixel
    All good points on why I would care. Thanks for the good post.
  15. Mike Sixel
    No one is concerned about playing time for bench players, we are concerned how often Lewis plays if he replaces a bench player on the roster. And, is anyone really defending it? I think people are open to it not being stupid, proving the FO doesn't care, etc......
  16. Mike Sixel
    Hey look, it is below normal temps an pouring again. Sigh (yes, I know you don't care, so what).
  17. Mike Sixel
    I take it that should not have been a "hit"....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Come one. They aren't keeping Lewis down until 2025. Sigh.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Wow, just looked at Fangraphs....even with his D Gio has negative WAR (meanwhile, that other guy Dicky mentioned is 2nd in WAR, so, pretty close). I guess 3B is the spot to upgrade. If only Lewis could play there.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Always better to listen to music during sports.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Which was what I was trying to do....clear up roster space. When you look at the leaderboards, there just isn't a lot of space to "fix" this roster right now.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Those moves were made last year out of desperation. But it would still have been a good question (not that I actually care what the FO or manager says in public).
  23. Mike Sixel
    So far. Where else are you improving the roster? 3B is either Gio or Lewis or Miranda. 1B is either Arraez or Miranda or ? DH? Surprisingly, Sanchez is now hitting around 20% better than league average. Not one OF needs replacing. If you like Miranda or Lewis at third, you aren't dealing for one of those. People love Arraez, so he's your 1B or DH, I assume. That leaves C (where they Twins have one of the better combos in the game, that's how bad C is this year across the league).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Anyone would, meaning it isn't close.
  25. Mike Sixel
    So, don't trade for a really good SP? I'm ok with that, but people need to stop complaining they aren't trying to win this year then......He's also a top 20 pitcher so far this year.
