    His argument is pretty clear....we can't say they have misjudged things, because we have zero data. Not that he can't play SS....but we can't say they are wrong, given we have no data and they have more than a year of data. He clearly states that and bolds it right in the post you quote.

    That's been my top complaint with the FO and the bullpen....going into every year with too many guys that can't be optioned. Rogers, Duffey, Alcala are locks unless Rogers is traded (which seems very unlikely). Thielbar is likely back, imo. After that? No real idea. I would 100% prefer Gant in the bullpen, but I think he's a starter. Really, I'd like 3-4 guys that are piggy back starters with each other, do those count as bullpen? Only Ober and Ryan s/b locks for the rotation, which is why I think Gant is not a RP to start the year, alas.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Where did he say they were beyond reproach?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'm happy for him. I would bet he's on the roster next year as a backup across nearly every position (possibly the starting LF until Martin or Larnach or Celestino is up).
  5. Mike Sixel
    19th in fWAR among all right fielders, on a medium priced contract. If he hadn't been hurt this year, he'd be around 14th or so.....What do people want from a veteran on a reasonable deal?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Polanco. Ryan and Ober. Alcala turning it around? Jeffers getting lots of time. Despite everyone here....Kepler will put up 2 fWAR. Donaldson.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Number 1 is the off season decisions by the FO......almost none of them were right. From Simmons (the worst Twin by fWAR this year) to the pitchers they brought in, almost all the decisions didn't work. That's a big contrast from other years.......and not at all what any system projected. Hoping this off season is much, much, better.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Regardless if Ryan is a 1 or a 4 (I'm guessing a 4 that pitches like a 3 often).....it looks like it might be a pretty good trade.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    And yet, the stats don't bear that out. If it was, teams would be doing it....and they aren't.
  10. Mike Sixel
    thx for the update.
  11. Mike Sixel
    They might be the best 0-2 team, but I would not be shocked if they were 0-3 soon.....nor if they were 1-2, frankly. I can't figure them out.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Hoping Lewis is healthy enough....
  13. Mike Sixel
    It isn't that easy. Really. If players could hit against the shift, they would. But all the data shows they can't.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Way too conservative on offense, as always. And, he's no defensive genius. I'm ready for this to be blown up. That said, they could easily be 2-0, and I could be wrong.
  15. Mike Sixel
    This idea that players are finished products when first called up is odd, and does not align with history for the vast majority of players.
  16. Mike Sixel
    He's another bat first, maybe bat only, player.... Where does the front office think they are all going to play? That is no way to use a first round pick imo. Good on him for improving, but it was a bad pick unless he's awesome with the bat.
  17. Mike Sixel
    You want Larnach at DH, but want to dump Sano? Help me understand. Also, Gordon in LF, not Larnach or Kiriloff or Celistino? Not Martin?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I did say sign a reclamation project.... I'm not sure any of these three fit that definition of you are trading for one though.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Trade for an already good pitcher, or don't bother, imo. They have plenty of prospects to fix.... No sense trying to fix a veteran. That's why you sign a bounce back candidate.
  20. Mike Sixel
    No way I spend money on an outfielder. Martin is your every day left fielder day one, or after they can use the system to keep his rights another year. Celestino is your backup. Larnach is a right fielder, as is Kepler. SS is the only non pitching position I'd spend money on, and Buxton.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Wouldn't have happened if they left it in Edina.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    They have the 9th rated farm system, with Larnach and Jeffers having graduated (according to Fangraphs).
  23. Mike Sixel
    Lots of great stuff in here....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs currently rates MN farm system as 9th best......with Larnach and Jeffers not in the list for them at this point (meaning they no longer count them as prospects). Both of them were in the top 100 to start the year. Five of their top 10 are SP, with Joe Ryan still projected as a RP (they haven't updated things since the deadline).
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm betting Rooker isn't even on the 40 man, let alone the roster next year. I'm mostly on the Vanimal position at this point, I'd think.
