    made me laugh.

    I've posted this too much, but since this is a Pineda thread....... They have 2 veterans on the MLB roster to mentor the young players. I think we all under estimate the value of that. I'd try to extend Pineda 2 years. Then either sign or deal for a better SP in the off season. Pineda, Meada, FA/Trade + 2 from this system is what I'd start the year with. I think rotating the AAA / AA players thru this year, to get their feet wet and see their stuff against MLB players is important, and I think Pineda and Maeda being here to mentor them is also important.

    The only one that doesn't make sense, to me, is Pineda.......but the best teams might not LOVE him, and the border teams might not have the prospects (Phillies) to get him. I would have hoped for a SEA trade involving him another Twins' pitching prospect, for a better prospect back......but, really, and I don't think this is over blown, they need at least 2 veterans to mentor the young guys THIS YEAR, and that might actually have more value than getting a prospect back.
  4. Mike Sixel
    right, so either Polanco moves to SS (not ideal) or one of them is on the bench. In the context of this roster, I just don't see a great fit for him. I think we've both made our points, though......and I doubt we are changing anyone's mind. But at least it has been good and polite!
  5. Mike Sixel
    Good points! But that just shows Arraez isn't a DH on this roster, imo. He's no 1B or SS or C or CF for sure. He doesn't play 3rd ahead of Donaldson or Miranda. I doubt he ever plays RF. You going to bench Polanco at 2B for him? No one is.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Given he might not play this year, I don't think his value is more/less in the off season than now. Unlike Berrios. But then, I'd sign Buxton to a deal. I predict there is a Buxton deal in the next 7 days!
  7. Mike Sixel
    I also tend not to realize how good a hitter Arraez is sometimes......but yes, I do value D more than you I'd guess. I just think he's redundant with Polanco and the corner OFers, and isn't a DH on this roster (Sano - who is still here, Garver, Donaldson, possibly Cruz again next year).
  8. Mike Sixel
    This is one reason I love KLaw.....he's willing to take a stand. And isn't in lock step with the others all the time.
  9. Mike Sixel
    On the plus side, they have two veterans for mentoring still....which I do think matters for next year. Now get some young guns up here for a few starts and rotate the others in after that.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd trade Arraez if I could....package him and something in the off season for something else. He isn't a defender anywhere, is he? Someone probably believes in him more than I do.... Rooker in LF? Yikes.
  11. Mike Sixel
    No, he wasn't mostly fine...he's a bad SS. This has nothing to do with the playoffs..... I can almost understand wanting to see Gordon, and I was OK with that draft pick, but I doubt anyone thinks he's a legit every day SS at this point.
  12. Mike Sixel
    What choice does Rocco have? Plenty not to love about Rocco, but Simmons was good last year and is the SS the FO brought in. Polanco is not a SS....so, Gordon?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I really do think teams should do this more often with marginal starters.......though I get you need starters in the minors too.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Claiming a guy with stuff with options? Great idea.
  15. Mike Sixel
    concur
  16. Mike Sixel
    Hopefully someone will push for answers on Pineda (who am I kidding the sports' press never does that kind of thing).
  17. Mike Sixel
    I mean, how can you not love this trade? even if it doesn't work, they added a RP in AA......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I really wish they could have done that deal during the game, and have Gant come in from the Cards' pen......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I was mostly kidding. Mostly. But I'd like a lot of guys to get their feet wet this year, so they team can see how they respond to the majors sooner, rather than later. They are loaded in AA and AAA for prospects right now......I hope to see many next year, on a decent to good team....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Another AA arm! RP only, but I'd put him in MN right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    well then. Not as good a trade!
  22. Mike Sixel
    I hope Gant gets the save......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Joey Bart? The Cubs had a GREAT deadline.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Epic failure. They did some great stuff this deadline, but this makes zero sense. Get an extension on him......call up Winder and Barnes.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe Pineda is on this roster after today. Disappointed for sure....should have gotten at least one 45 FV guy for him. Hopefully we read about an extension of 2 years then......
