    You just agreed with me. Miranda won't be up, or they need to trade Sano if everyone is healthy. I just don't see anyway to have Polanco and Arraez and Miranda on the same team. Also, Garver will catch maybe 80ish games.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I wasn't talking about dealing Miranda, but Donaldson. I see that wasn't clear.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Here is a great study on the value of picks....I can't believe anyone is arguing picking earlier isn't valuable. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/an-update-on-how-to-value-draft-picks/
  4. Mike Sixel
    Not even a little true at the top. The value difference is very steep.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand Cave playing at this point.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Where does Arraez play? Or Sano? P
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think I'd trade Donaldson, but it wasn't even 12 months ago no GM thought Miranda was worth claiming.....but I don't have HIGH hopes for next year, so I would deal him most likely. Also, Arraez. That said, Lewis could end up at 3rd if he's not a SS (or CF if Buxton is gone).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Him being bad for 25 games shows nothing to any front office. It is a tiny sample size. People either believe in him or not at this point.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Being a fair weather fan is 100% more rational.... The Mauer contract was fair, no doubt. And it didn't hinder the team.....once Ryan was gone they spent way more money.....

    Given some of what his father says, I'd hope Griffen and others tell Kirk he's an ******* over and over. (assuming he agrees with his father, not everyone does, but it kind of looks like it)
  11. Mike Sixel
    In the least shocking news ever, Griffen is a Viking again.
  12. Mike Sixel
    "stop playing guys out of position" and "put Polanco at SS" don't really work well together as thoughts..... IMO, they'll need to trade one of Miranda or Arraez or Donaldson.....there isn't room for all three of them on the roster next year, not with AK and Sano on the roster, and Garver at C/DH. Not unless you move AK back to the OF......and even then....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I endorse the idea of ties mentioned above.....maybe 1-2 extra innings if needed. But I have no issues with ties.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree. But there is zero chance, almost, if he's not up this year. That's all that post said or meant. That said, I disagree they can't give a rookie a spot. They will be cycling thru quite a few rookie pitchers next year, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. But I'd protect Colina I think also.
  16. Mike Sixel
    If they want them in Minnesota to start the year, they'll be up this year. Otherwise, I can't see them going into the year with a pitcher with zero experience in the majors to start a year. I would like to see both of them up ASAP, and getting MLB experience and jitters now, so they might be ready early next year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    The only question that matters to me is if he's signed to a long term deal or not. I would endorse that.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If they want Ryan up at the start of next year, he'll pitch in MN this year to get acclimated. If they don't do that, I would bet money he's not on the opening day roster next year. He's 25....no need to baby him. Now, he might need work on certain pitches, that's different. But, there is no reason to protect him at this point. Me? I'd call him up to get him acclimated to the majors. But I don't know what they'll do. I am not worried about losing a fringe player at this point, so I'm not worried about the 40 man.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Gallen or Means.... Probably realistic targets. Neither is a one, maybe not a two.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    He's very likely not a starter. He can want it all he wants. He can be a good RP...
  21. Mike Sixel
    Who else? They used everyone last night. He can be DFAd, no issue, after this.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not be Cave, who has zero future on this roster.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I meant Simmons, not Gant. I have no issue with Gant as a RP.....none. I don't get burning Gant, if they want him healthy the rest of the year. But, I guess they asked him to take one for the team today. No idea why they'd do that, and not have Albers start....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I am so done with him. Ugh. Also, this is why Gant is a 1 inning RP, maybe, maybe 2......
  25. Mike Sixel
    I take it hitters no longer get credit for hits?
