    I'd guess that mid-2018, we see Gordon in MN. Javier is at least 4 years away, I'd guess, maybe 5. By then, who knows where Polanco is?

    or, they could have gone over slot, and signed more players. That's what every other team that went over slot did. It's why so many other teams have so many high upside players in their systems. Giving him $115K more than slot, with no others signed, isn't really going over slot in a way that matters at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    To be fair, they didn't go enough over slot for there to be a penalty. They stayed in the margin of "error" as it were. Pretty misleading to imply they actually spent more than their slot, when it came with no penalty at all. On ceiling, this seems about right for a ranking. But we are a long way from knowing if he can take those tools into production. I usually like ranking guys on ceiling, but this seems high to me for some reason.

    No matter how good he is, this is, imo, a great trade by the Twins.

    I did sell some losses last year in an attempt to get our income lower for FAFSA purposes...but I don't think it worked. We'll see.

    Wouldn't surprise me, but how does the tax effect change your thoughts, assuming those are short term holdings, and the wash sale factor? Me? I just keep stuff I want long term....maybe I make a tad less here and there, but it has kept me from making some serious mistakes.
  7. Mike Sixel
    the idea is to spread the game's popularity world wide...
  8. Mike Sixel
    Just totally disagree with this stance. I'd like the WBC to be even bigger, frankly.
  9. Mike Sixel
    wow, couldn't disagree with this take more strongly. Wow.

    He won't be working with the Twins' coaches, they won't have control over how he is used......no idea if it is good or bad, but for a team completely changing it's approach to pitching development, and for a guy that had serious control issues, I'd want him in camp, with my pitching coach.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I agree, unless they really surprise us and compete for a playoff spot, I'd like to see as many of the young players up and given a shot, as possible.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I will be disappointed if Berrios is in the minors, and Gonsalves is in AA. Very.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Kiriloff isn't destined to be a DH, is he?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff. My go to site.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Ya, we don't agree on that. Didn't TK have some number of games before we know?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't know what to make of him, but I'd like them to let him play for 2 months in a row, basically, and gather more data.
  17. Mike Sixel
    If you want context free offensive measure, pick wRC+ or something.... if you want context, look at win probability measures. That way, you can compare him to other players...... you probably won't like how Mauer compares to other 1B.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    You literally ranked them w/in 1 of each other.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    another part of the list I like, if not LOVE. I think Jorge and Chargois are legit MLB RPs, it's really a question of floor vs ceiling on where you rank them, imo. But those two play in the majors for sure (barring injury, of course). Garver will also play in the majors for more than a cup of coffee. I think Wade is one of those guys that is always under rated. Does everything well, few weaknesses. The ceiling isn't there, but the floor is way up on the 2nd level....I think he plays some MLB ball, just not sure how much. Palka is probably the highest ceiling guy here, but that hole in his swing needs some plugging. for me, the question is also, can he play defense at all (and at 1B or OF)?
  20. Mike Sixel
    That is a woeful list of prospects, frankly. There weren't many exciting OF prospects either. The FO has some serious work in front of them.
  21. Mike Sixel
    How do scouts compare their notes to other scouts? Because you are arguing the "stats nerds" can't do that.... I'm not missing your point at all. You are stating something as fact, that the eyeball is better than a stat, when you can't prove that at all. Both are important, but since teams are literally paying GMs and assistants LOADS of money to implement the use of these stats, I'd guess you are wrong.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Does the old fashioned scout watch every play by every player, so he can do a comparison? Which one, really, is likely to have seen more plays, to do more comparisons?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm a fan of everyone in this range.
  24. Mike Sixel
    it's always good to give up on a young player like Polanco getting better at defense.....are we going to rehash the whole trade Dozier thing on this thread?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm pretty sure Loretta had super powers.....
