    Sano. Donaldson. Garver. Arraez. All are better hitters. All could/should DH. Maybe Miranda.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Based on what? He's just not good, and hatd negative defensive value. If they keep him, where does he play?
  3. Mike Sixel
    There is no evidence the Twins are banking on him for next year. So I'm not sure I understand?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Last couple days an ad has stretched the site wider than my phone's screen.... No idea which one. And it is intermittent.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Do you think he's as good as Ober? I don't. Jax? Possible, I put Thorpe in the long list of pitchers MLB kind of screws over, by trying to keep them a starter. He has a chance at a longer career as a RP..... But very little as a starter, most likely. Ober. Jax. Maeda. Free agent. Trade. Strotman. Ryan. Winder. Maybe Dobnak. All of them are ahead of him, most likely. Maybe even Barnes. They've seen him pitch for years, and I'm told here that AAA gives data too..... Get Strotman up and see what he is, or Ryan. They have little personal data on them. I'm betting it is Thorpe.... But it isn't what I'd do.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well. Dang. They 100 percent need two picthets from outside the org.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'll be somewhat surprised if Thorpe is in this organization next year.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd aim for free agency at age 29 if you aren't signed. 27 if in the minors.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather take the chance Lewis works out, and have a great SS signed, than Lewis isn't really good in 2023..... Do people expect him to be good in his first full year in the majors? They aren't signing two expensive starting pitchers, imo. They probably don't need a third baseman, second baseman, first baseman, catcher, or outfielder...... And Donaldson comes off the books in two years. I guess Buxton and an elite pitcher is possible.... But I'd rather sign a SS and Buxton and one great SP.... Which they can afford. I understand others don't agree, and I'm ok with that.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Showing how unimportant managers really are day to day.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Good God. So I'm wrong, so all my thoughts are wrong? Then the front office is always wrong? Tedious. And a logical fallacy. People keep saying the Twins can trade for an ace..... Have they? Has any mid market team? How many have been traded at all, that had more than a year of control?
  12. Mike Sixel
    That is a terrible infield defense. Yuck. Run prevention matters.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Sign one of these guys. At most, they'll sign one expensive FA pitcher this year. No way I put polanco back at SS. The D is already awful....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Service time for relief pitchers already in their mid 20s? I hope not.....heck... Service time for relief pitchers at all? This makes no sense. They should be preparing for next year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    It was six feet higher than he jumped, maybe more.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Sorry. Gant. Yes.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm not the front office.... They need to be right. Not me. My argument is simple, the best players are at the top of the draft more often than not.... And they'll never sign an ace to a long term deal. Lewis could be bad, just as the pitchers could. I don't really get that part of the argument. I wanted Greene, and eventually chickened out and said Gore, yes. Gore looks like a bad choice right now..... So yes, I was likely wrong. I'd that somehow invalidates my opinion they should take elite pitching when the hitter and pitcher are ranked close, then I guess I'm just wrong.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Of all the players to question on that play? Larnach turned a double into that. Polanco double clutched and made a terrible throw.. and Ryan threw a cookie up there....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not true. They could have paid Lewis top dollar and still signed enlow. They just saved money. They may have suffered a minor penalty, but it was in the range of acceptable. Also, I'd trade both of them for Greene right now, easy. I'd even throw in Rooker.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm baffled at the Lewis ranking. He's never shown the ability to hit, and it's not clear he's a SS. One of his best attributes is speed, and he just had knee surgery. I don't think he's even in the top five for me, until he shows he can hit. I really want to be wrong....btw, everyone here ripped the Greene choice once he was hurt.... Who is destroying AAA right now? Take the upside pitching, because you'll never sign it.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not once in my life did I expect everyone to be a star. So no, we didn't used to have higher expectations. Especially from a first year player.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not sure how it is on Baldelli... And yes, I did not like the pick. But it is made.... So now what? I'd prefer him at DH.....or traded in a package for a SS or pitcher.
  23. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, Larnach turned a double into an inside the park HR, and he'd have been out if Polanco doesn't double clutch. Then, just bad D....so Ryan was not good, but not as bad as the boxscore would show.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Where does Larnach play if Arraez is DH? Sano? Kiriloff? Garver? Donaldson? IMO, Martin is the LF by mid next year.....Kiriloff is 1B, and Sano or Larnach or Donadlson is DH.....or even Miranda. Arraez's only position is to back up all those guys plus back up Polanco?
  25. Mike Sixel
    His D is awful. As seen again tonight. That should have been a double.
