    Easy to get someone onto the 40 man right now. Heck, just put Thorpe on the DL/IL.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    They're just going to keep running Simmons out there, aren't they? Mind. Boggling.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Thorpe hurt? I mean, Ryan could come up tomorrow...sure, that wouldn't be ideal, but still.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why are they signing him to five years? Is anyone doing that? I very much doubt it. Very much.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Of all the moves I'd make right now....I'd promote him to AAA for a day, then MN. See what he's got. It isn't like they can hide him...and they'll need to do something with him at some point. (well, that and a certain RP getting time in MN.....). I'd even DFA Simmons to do it at this point.
  6. Mike Sixel
    fangraphs: 6th....13th....30th....and I'll place money he's not as high as 30 next time they do an update. He's still a good to great prospect....but he's not trending the right way.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Polanco is not a good SS. What if Lewis isn't one? What do you do in 2023 and beyond? The Twins literally refuse to play Gordon at SS, that is not an option at this point.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think I more just want to watch Tom Baker again....to see if my teen memories make sense. But ya, that's probably why I won't do it.
  9. Mike Sixel
    There is no evidence of that with this FO, other than Buxton. Also, Ryan is just back from the Olympics, and they've said he'll get a few appearances in St. Paul to get acclimated to the Twins before probably being in MN.
  10. Mike Sixel
    King of small samples!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Can you name anyone that has said errors don't matter? What people say is that they are not sufficient to gauge defense. Those are two very different things.
  12. Mike Sixel
    See my post .... Are pitchers like that even traded?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I think he's saying that if others still think he's going to be great.... He disagrees, and would sell high. I have no idea if he's going to hit.... But I'd happily trade him in a package for a legit pitcher..... But those guys are never traded with three years of control.... Which is why the idea you can just draft hitters and trade them for pitchers is ridiculous.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Good luck to him! Most predictable decision of the year....
  15. Mike Sixel
    The premise of this article is weird. Lewis is almost certainly not in Minnesota next year. So you can slowly bring him up in 2023. At that point, you might need a CF, LF, RF, 3B, 2B..... I would 100% sign a great SS.... If Lewis is also one, you have options. If he's not, you have a SS. I'd trade Lewis for a great pitcher right now. Maybe even a very good pitcher. Frankly, if he hits, I'd rather he be in the OF than anyone not named Buxton....
  16. Mike Sixel
    260 .... That is way over the MLB average this year. Also higher than his average in general.... So he's better with men on base then not.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Rooker is much worse. I would prefer Larnach DH or be traded, but that's a very different discussion than someone saying he's awful and shown no future.
  18. Mike Sixel
    More cherry picking.....I literally posted that yes, Larnach hads shown he can hit as well as Young just above, in a stat that looks at everything, not one outcome. Average, power, everything.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm considering bingeing every classic Dr Who on britbox...... No idea why, and I likely won't, but considering it
  20. Mike Sixel
    Like how someone feels about Larnach.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Trevor has 90 wrc+ right now. Better than Young's second year, and tied for another year....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Talk about cherry picking!
  23. Mike Sixel
    He's been bad at hitting two of the last three years. This year? Worse than bad. He's below average in fwar three straight years now. I really hope he's not brought back. Gordon should be there the rest of this year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Which, imo, is the fallacy of "you can wait until next year to sign a guy" talk here.....if you have a hole, and there is a great player you can afford, sign him. Even if you "won't be good" until a year later.....that hole is filled. Trying to time your contention with when the exact player you need is there in FA is like trying to time the stock market.

    Please no.
