    I'm guessing he gets 3/60 or so from someone else. Just a guess. I'd like him back on a 2-3 year deal, but I think they'll go for Gordon next year, and use that money on something (no idea what).
  2. Mike Sixel
    Thorpe, Thorpe, Thorpe. That is all.....ok, not really. Well written! And I'm with you on Gordon, long term 2.5-3 WAR player for many years....not a superstar most years, just a very good player.

    An Englishman?

    The only reason Christmas is better is because my kids are in town....otherwise, this day is much better.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Who are you talking about, there are several options...

    I'll never forget him. Back in the day, they let us all on the field for camera day. I asked him if he was going to stay in MN or not, and he said he hoped to....seemed like a nice guy, as he was answering lots of questions and really interacting with people.

    Pretty much a self fulfilling prophecy, no? If you don't acquire better players, you won't get better results. The Sox are not far behind the Twins, have money coming off the books, and have spent much more in the past. How aligned would the stars have to be for you to go all in?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Other than Garver, who is really time in experience? How long would the outfielders have to be on rosters for you not to think of them as green? I don't think three years is all that green anymore

    By weighted WAR projections, the twins are not in the top ten for youngest position players, so I don't know about next decade... They better be in win now mode, ESan, Dozier, Mauer, Castro are not getting younger or signed for long.... Not to mention Morrison and Lynn.

    Lindor says hello. His worst year is 4.4 WAR... His rookie year. Ramirez put up an insane 6.6 last year. Two White Sox put up over 4 last year. Sure, Buxton could be better than all of them, but my money is on lindor. And Dozier.

    Those are two different stories about projections and predictions In both, people like the Twins more than projection systems.

    The Sox are the real variance team. If the time players come on fast, or slowly, that is the question. But, they are coming. The Cleveland team is probably 8-10 wins better, given equal health, imo. That is makeupable, but they are the clear favorites.

    One of the better rosters we've seen in some time. Good luck to the team!
  17. Mike Sixel
    We are happy they are rewarding spring training production, and ignoring years of minor league results? Ok then. Congrats and good luck to him. I hope he makes me look more stupid than I do on my own.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It costs that much to get him. I'm not sure why spreading the money over more years is bad. You need to look at the entirety of the contract, not just the bad years, to judge the contract.
  19. Mike Sixel
    No, he's saying, and I'm saying, is that he's 29 and it is not LIKELY that he's good. You do realize his BABIP is twice what is realistic, in spring training, right? I think people here confuse likely with "certain" a lot. Brock isn't certain of anything, but he's talking about what is likely/probably.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea if they are right or not, I don't comment on them really at all, other than to point out teams are using RPs more in general. But it wouldn't shock me if those numbers were all correct. Less than sixty pitchers cracked 160 innings last year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Hard to say. Not many pitchers pitch a lot of innings anymore....for many reasons. To me, this points out how RPs are becoming more important, as much as anything else.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I do agree years five and six will be interesting. I like him for the next four, so it's a matter of how much those first four years are worth, in terms of the cost of the last two.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What do you base that on, exactly? Because it's not close to one of hte ten worst this year, or next....
  24. Mike Sixel
    No shocks here... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-starting-rotation-16-30/

    On this team he's a backup, or trade bait, or backup. Are we not supposed to have this conversation in context of the Twins? I am aware of KATOH thinks (and man we are going to miss seeing KATOH, sigh), but that's not in context of his value to the Twins.
