    Rosario is gone in a year or two, if not at the end of this year.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Cave and Wade are not ahead of Lewis. If Lewis moves to the outfield, it's not clear anyone but Kepler is in front of him, assuming Buxton is gone in that scenario.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Any news on Kepler?
  4. Mike Sixel
    You have to get pitching somehow. Lots of it. Next year. Or it's a lost year.

    For those not in love with his glove, you are watching a different game.... https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/mitch-garver-wasnt-catching-strikes-so-he-changed-his-catching-stance/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

    Speed doesn't age as well as power. Over their careers? Likely Sano. Over the next five years? Toss up for me.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Typical Twins move, go for floor over ceiling. Oh, wait, typical Zimmer move. I wonder if either franchise will ever be aggressive.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Nope. They throw harder than right before it was figured out they had an injury, but not necessarily harder than before the injury. I don't have the study handy, but it's out there. I think Chalmers sits around 30-40th.....going into the year, but moves into the top 20 during the year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    They've let all the other alleged abusers do so. This just happened to be timed right.

    Mike Sixel 12:10 Would you put either Gibson or Perez on the Twins post season roster? AvatarJay Jaffe 12:13 I think a lot of it depends upon matchups. I'd consider Perez, who even during his second-half slide has still been effective against lefties. I wouldn't expect him to go five innings but there may be a relief role or a short-starter (opener, even) situation that makes sense. As for Gibson, it sounds like his illness has cost him so much strength and rendered him ineffective. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-9-23-19-6087.html
  11. Mike Sixel
    Easiest decision ever.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Correct. No study exists to show the effect, because there is none that can be shown. That said, it might not be showable because the sample size of those currently allowed to increase their innings that much is tiny.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Cook does look great. But the raiders at home is no test.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I can't see how this offense competes in the modern NFL though.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Raiders are not good, but there Vikings are doing what they should to a bad team so far.
  16. Mike Sixel
    There are penalties? I'm trying to imagine what those would be.... You have to re read every Mauer thread?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Which I've been arguing for here for three years.... But the Twins aren't really using piggybacking. Next year they may have little choice
  18. Mike Sixel
    Who makes the first eight starts for Pineda? As for Gaterol, there is no everyone for the verducci effect. None. I think it's clear he can be a great reliever, less clear he can be a good starter. Two pitches is probably not enough.... But, given their lack of willingness to spend big, or draft pitchers in round one, they need to start him in AAA next year, imo. If he doesn't develop another pitch by June, call him up as a reliever
  19. Mike Sixel
    Possibly. I think a three team trade makes the most sense. Get a mid round pick from some contender for Rhodes. And, Antonio Brown? Wow.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And yet, he pitched after that.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Concur, but CC won't make the roster, I don't think.
  22. Mike Sixel
    All true. Like I said, I was good no matter what they did here. I'd like more fun, in general. But not fun at the expense of a play. He really should have just stopped given what went before.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I guess I'm assuming a guy like this is a top player..... Also, of course the average is steady, there are more rookies playing than ever. Veteran salaries are not dropping.... But then, sports reflects the world, and salaries are stagnating over all, while profits are up.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    See, to me, running out a routine grounder is false hustle, and guys do get hurt that way..... Interesting the different things that matter
  25. Mike Sixel
    BS. I like guys that have fun. But he admired that hit all the way down the line. This is a very specific example.
