    True for sure. They've been abysmal at that. Hoping this starts to change this year/next. If not......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Their newest pitching prospect is also in the Olympics......
  3. Mike Sixel
    Fair, but that post I responded to said Martin would never do anything in the majors pretty much......We all have our preferences, but really?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Least brave prediction ever!
  5. Mike Sixel
    I will also. No matter what they get, I'll be very disappointed they deal him. I truly think this roster can compete next year, with some luck in the bullpen, and by signing or trading for a legit SP or two.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I would have loved Abrams for sure......I just didn't think he was available. Also, the Pads have no SP I know I want....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think this is 100% unfair in this deal. Berrios was clear he was going to FA next year. They got a top 20 prospect, and a top 50-60 prospect, both in AA. I get being cynical, but this is not a good take, imo.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I want them to keep Buxton, very much. I'd have to be 100% BLOWN AWAY to trade him. He's a legit difference maker, in a sport where that is hard to be.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think he's insurance at CF, SS, and maybe LF.......I hope they sign Buxton. I don't want a full blow up.
  10. Mike Sixel
    So much for teams NOT dealing top prospects anymore!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Martin is easily their top prospect right now.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Given FG and mlb.com have Martin in their top 25 overall, I think you are low on him. This is his first year in professional baseball, and he's hitting well (not great) in AA, and playing both SS and CF.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Martin is a top 20 prospect in all of baseball....
  14. Mike Sixel
    both are in AA....and Fangraphs and MLB.com projects Martin to play in teh majors next year.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    MLB.com has Martin 16th, Fangrapsh 23rd.........that's a real hitter who can play CF and maybe SS.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Wow.....2 players Fangraphs has in the top 50 of all the minors! That's a haul......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs likes him, but he's been not GREAT this year......unlucky in outcomes, and supposedly a mid-rotation piece. In other words, Berrios-ish, maybe more Pineda, in 2 years or so.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Here is the Fangraphs board, filtered to the Jays. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2021-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&team=tor

    I agree they have over drafted LH corner OFers that can't field the OF........ My thoughts are that if Buxton is out for a week or so, Kepler is a decent CF option. He's not playing there this year because Buxton is out longer, and the season is lost. Kepler can also field RF. I don't think any of their other ML or AA or AAA OFers field and hit. Also, Kepler is hitting slightly above league average this year, after being hurt and not playing well. I expect 3 or so WAR next year out of him.....Kiriloff is the 1B of the future. Larnach probably should DH, but is the LF (hoping he can improve somehow..... in the field.....).
  20. Mike Sixel
    I think fans vastly undervalue Kepler. And this team would miss him. I see almost zero chance Berrios doesn't hit free agency, given his quotes. So I can't see an extension.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Concur. No sense at all. A third or fourth, if they have no plans to keep him. Anything else is the same as an undrafted guy almost.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say they were good decisions..... But that they used the money. It's pretty clear he wanted out. It wasn't a good trade..... But lots of teams have traded guys like this and used those players to build good teams. If the Twins deal Berrios, they could do very well, or badly, or in between. I'd only deal him if I was extremely confident I was getting at least two legit MLB players back, or one superstar type. Not that that is a guarantee, but that's what I'd want.
  23. Mike Sixel
    You're willing to trade Kepler and Donaldson, who are signed longer than Berrios? How is trading Berrios blowing everything up?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Oops. I'd love to re-sign him next year, or even to an extension this year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    2? He's made it very clear he wants to test free agency. He's not signing a one year deal unless he's hurt. Unless you are counting this year. I don't take a lousy offer either, no way. I don't think they do either.
