    And what of Martin? Because he can actually hit and should be in AAA.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Please don't take a bat first corner guy early. Please.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Peterson is back. I guess they don't NEED to take CB in round 1, but that group is not good.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ditto. Also, they DON'T need 3 catchers. If someone gets hurt, fly the dude to where they are. Pinch hit for the DH spot if you somehow lose it..... If they put Rooker in LF, Buxton better be VERY fast..... No surprise on Miranda. I'm disappointed Larnach isn't ready, maybe they should stop drafting bat first guys in round 1? Maybe?
  5. Mike Sixel
    And Martin?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't be shocked if Martin gets time in CF if Buck gets hurt and will miss long periods.....but I'd guess it is Gordon for now, with Cave in AAA for emergencies and Celestino needing to hit at AAA for some time before he's an option (long sentence, but you get the points, I hope).
  7. Mike Sixel
    thanks for the info. He was staggeringly bad at first! I had no idea it was that bad. Ya, he should be the DH......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I don't know how Martin isn't listed as a LF prospect at this point. I expect him to start there for MN or another team for years to come, putting up 2.5-3 WAR per year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure how they get out from this, which is why I would have blown it up this year and just ate all the money fast...so, ya, you may be right.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I hated that extension at the time.....now it is just an issue. That said, the cap is going up and up every year, and it won't hold them back, imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    3-4 at first? I can't see that at all. No way. What's the largest gap using fangraphs or bref?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Also, I don't really see a use for Rooker on this roster. Not with AK and Larnach on it.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why? So they play 1 game w/o a DH if Jeffers is hurt and Sanchez is the DH. Or, if they PH or something weird, they lose the DH late in the game, then PH for the pitcher's spot. I just don't see it as the risk so many here do. They don't need 3 catchers, IMO.
  14. Mike Sixel
    2017 2nd round pick. Sigh.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Did someone post that Joe Ryan should start in AAA, or was I hallucinating? Because, no. He was their best pitcher after the break last year.
  16. Mike Sixel
    giving up the DH late in a game shouldn't really be an issue. PH for the pitcher once.....It just isn't as big a strategy issue as people think.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I would also trade down, to be clear. IF they pick, though, it better be CB or LB......because this D is not looking good right now. I have chosen to believe with new coaching, they can find an IOL in later rounds, like every other team in the NFL....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Did anyone estimate him as good? I like the signing. Buys time and innings....(since there is no good FA pitcher left).
  19. Mike Sixel
    CB, CB, CB. They have one starter there right now. One. edit" I've been out of touch, I guess they have two now? Neither of which are great?
  20. Mike Sixel
    What would he have to prove in AA? He was pretty much great last year. As a college player, who has already played at and dominated AA, I see no reason not to be the starting SS or LF in AAA right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    They have to bring in one CB vet, just for on field coaching..... They better draft CBs, multiple, this team has none.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Good points. I doubt Rooker has much value, but Larnach should. Long term, I still think it is Martin.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Larnach is the starting LF day one, I'd assume. Backup? I don't know. I agree there isn't a lot of room for Rooker on this roster with Sanchez and Sano and his lack of defensive prowess.
  24. Mike Sixel
    They certainly try to win at one Vikings way.... Or whatever it is called. You have to appreciate that.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
