    if there are questions, they aren't stuff or outcomes....not even close.

    the evidence is the huge, vast, nearly every, player that makes AAA does not turn into a good MLB player. There is no "I think" here, that's just the simple math. edit: I like Niko. I think he has a small shot to be useful. But I can't say I am confident he'll be better than existing MLB player just yet.

    B.) You did say that Goodrum can't replace the offense Escobar provides. I think I showed pretty conclusively that that's a very low bar to surpass and that Goodrum is a pretty good bet to do it based on performance and age. Thoughts? Ceding the point? minor league numbers are predictive, not conclusive. Until a minor leaguer who isn't a legit bit time prospect actually plays well in the majors, the odds are very, very, very low they will ever do so. I don't think you proved anything at all. You provided some predictive numbers, but no, I am not convinced at all he can hit or play defense in the majors. I mean, if he's so sure to be better, why wasn't he up earlier this year, and Escobar just cut?

    plenty of guys coming off. Every year people fret over the 40 man decisions, every year the Twins lose no one of major, or even minor, consequence.
  5. Mike Sixel
    the Twins and other teams are so confident he'll be a MLB player, that he could have signed with anyone last year, anyone..... And no place did I describe Escobar as "awesome" or even close to it.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I doubt Goodrum can "easily" replace the production Escobar has, and will continue to, provide. I seriously doubt it, especially on offense.
  7. Mike Sixel
    no doubter. He should have been on the world team at the ASB. He's a big time legit prospect.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to Goodrum! Exciting moment for him for sure. And also to the others, even if they've already had their debut. I don't care about Rochester's results, I care about what is 100% best for the Twins. Just once I want to hear them say that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    so, just a bit younger than you then?
  10. Mike Sixel
    You spit beer on your computer screen?
  11. Mike Sixel
    agreed, sometimes things are coincidence, and sometimes they aren't. But this is likely THE most common fallacy, I'd think....
  12. Mike Sixel
    that would be most unfortunate and sadness inducing.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Definitely less thrilled as the year has gone on. I'm not worried about the splits yet, but the overall results are disappointing.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm glad Garver is up and having success. So, SSS, he's a great catcher, right?

    4.25 would give him around the 35th lowest ERA in the game.....among qualifiers. That seems a bit lofty to me...
  17. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't be shocked either way. I've been a huge supporter, until this year. I have serious doubts, but it's all about numbers (salary and other SP options) at this point. If he's mediocre to good the rest of the way, he's back no doubt, imo. If he reverts to what he's been more often than not, I don't know what they'll do.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what the right idea is, I just hope they aren't falling into the one size fits all problems of the past.....which I doubt they are.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, the models are so bias!
  20. Mike Sixel
    six dollars? Man, life is cheaper there....
  21. Mike Sixel
    fair. to answer your other question, I would have used him in relief, like some other teams do with some of their pitchers, that year.
  22. Mike Sixel
    So, 1 time in how many years? Do we think shutting him down that many years ago, or not, matters now?
  23. Mike Sixel
    And the nats haven't been close since......and I was on the angst side for sure.
  24. Mike Sixel
    scoops are part of fWAR, IIRC. I thought Dave or someone said that online this year. did you look?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Definitely the same
