    I think the approach change is real, I just think expecting thirty home runs as a baseline is optimistic. Good signing, at a good price....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Because batting average is only one measure? Because he's getting older? Because he won't be inexpensive?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Should? I'll take the under. Not a bad signing, but expecting 30 plus bombs?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Preferred Gomez, as he can play an actual position. Gonna be hard to play Sano at DH at all now. Hopefully he won't ever need rest. I don't know what to expect of LoMo, hope he's very good
  5. Mike Sixel
    DH...
  6. Mike Sixel
    He hasn't been good at defense in a long time. No idea why that was stressed....
  7. Mike Sixel
    no one is arguing to give up on Lewis. No one is arguing he doesn't look to have a great future.
  8. Mike Sixel
    We're on a tangent, so I'll let it go. But this is bookmarked for the next time I read the Twins can't compete year after year because if you draft late you can't get good players.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Didin't they trade for a great pitcher last year?
  10. Mike Sixel
    there was no clear BPA.... And now you can find good players outside the top ten picks? Winning teams don't have to cycle down? All I'm saying is, if you should away from pitchers, you either need to trade for them, or sign free agents or get lucky. They've indicated by their actions they don't sign elite free agents, or trade for them.... So, it is down to luck.

    I got the ERA and predictive stats backward on that post!
  12. Mike Sixel
    fair. Either way, I expect him to be a 4/5, which helps this rather mediocre collection, even if it doesn't really fix it.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Thas is literally a straw man argument, compared to what was posted here. I love Rooker on Twitter, but he's quite active and quite vocal. 180 degrees from what they supposedly like about Lewis.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Right....under the definition I was responding to, yikes. I think he'll be a 1.5-2 WAR pitcher. That's an improvement over their existing options, almost certainly. They need more, though.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Why? An ERA and other stats that make it likley they'll lose more than they win, isn't exactly encouraging. (remember, the post was about him being as "good" as last year, not how he'd be better this year). I mean, an ERA over 5 and not going long into games, and only pitching 140 or so innings doesn't exactly scream "I am good enough to help my team win". Is it better than an ERA over 6? Sure. But is that enough to win games? Is that how low the bar is now, bad, but not awful?
  16. Mike Sixel
    we disagree. Imo, if you decide to pass on starting pitching when you have early picks, and don't like to trade prospects (as the FO was quoted as saying last week), you need to be great at hitting and defense. I hope no one is going to come back and say it is "easy" to find good players later, since for the entire existence of this site, people said teams cycle in competitiveness based on when they draft....
  17. Mike Sixel
    In any event....he could be a great player. I hope so. Since they don't have enough pitching, they need to hit and play defense better and better.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If they won't take guys on social media, why is Rooker in this system?
  19. Mike Sixel
    That's not exactly encouraging....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm out. If people don't want to look at all the available information, and compare him to other first basemen, that's their right.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It was inevitable he move off third at some point. He was decent there last year. His injury was not caused by weight. This does remind me of the hrbek talk, but with a lot more accusations of laziness or him not respecting the team than hrbek got... It would be greater if he was in elite shape, but this is still an elite hitter we are discussing
  22. Mike Sixel
    His defense is in that WAR.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Compared to other first basemen....I posted the link.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Can we just ignore the BA list now? It is such an outlier..... As for Romero..... If they are in serious contention after the ASB, he should be in Minnesota in the bullpen. He can always be stretched back out. You only get so many years of good okaty, health, and luck. Continuing to always wait for next year gets you hope, with little to show for it. If he's a shutdown bullpen arm, and they are a legit team, he should be here.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I did. And? Growth is not linear. Just ask the Diamondbacks.... They were sure they'd just get better in a line. Their GM even said it. They were universally mocked, and fired the next off-season.
