    Agreed, and it's not close.

    We went thru to with Mauer. Every first basemen makes scoops. There guys have been catching balls since they were five. Cron is nearly replacement level at this point. Garver needs to play every day, or nearly. I don't understand his usage at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ready to move on from Cron. That error was half his. He's a meh hitter compared to other first basemen. And they'll need every penny of his salary to fill all the pitching holes next year.

    Cron inching closer and closer to zero fWAR on the year....

    He got hot in the face on the slide, but sure, he's bad or something.

    I don't get to watch many games, do they all seem to go this slowly?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs had him pretty high when they redid their rankings, but he might have been up a bit before that.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ouchie.

    Food delivery services turn out to be very bad for restaurants, in terms of profit, apparently. But I've only seen one sticker about that so far.

    It's great that he's even in the conversation. I'd say third or fourth right now. I doubt anyone catches Alvarez.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I understand the bullpen strategy.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Garver needs to be in the lineup every day.

    Back in my day the D&D video game would print out a room on a dot matrix printer, then you had to input what you would do on a keyboard. Then stuff would happen, and if you didn't die (your magic user could only cast one spell a day, btw), it printed a long hall, or another room. Slowly. On a dot matrix printer.

    Not at the same time .... which leads to variance during the year. Also, teams do have injuries, and different starting pitchers. While I agree with your general point, there is an interesting article on Fangraphs about Pittsburgh's collapse, and how who got to play them during this streak might have greatly influenced the playoffs (or might not). The teams playing MN with Buxton and Cruz out have a much easier contest than playing against them when they are both in the lineup, for example.

    Because he's getting worse as the year goes on, and he's never been this good before? Because they wouldn't offer anyone that much money before, so would I expect them to for him? I'm not sure. Actually, I'm more likely to offer him than Pineda, because Big Mike hasn't been healthy in forever. So, sure, I'd probably offer Odo, but I would not expect this good a year again.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't know what they are going to do. They didn't acquire any FAs or make any trades for guys with multiple years of control, other than Perez who is not good, so they'll have to figure this out. I'm not confident they can find 2, let alone 3 or 4, good starters.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There you have it, I had all MLB......but sure, 5th in the AL only.
  18. Mike Sixel
    That ERA hides the large number of unearned runs......Twins are 12th in runs allowed.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd say it is pretty clear that Rogers needs a day off between appearances. There are three guys in the minors that should, imo, be given a shot this month.....Alcala, Gaterol, and Duran. Hildenberger is the Trevor May of sidearmers, you think he should be better than he is.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Didn't the Twins play better than any team in baseball to start the year? Didn't they have an 11.5 game lead? Or does the great play only matter for Cleveland? Cleveland lost their three best starting pitchers, and traded another, and have a MUCH better staff than the Twins, oh, and three of those starters are, what, 26 or younger? I mean, yes, Cleveland has been great lately, but the Twins were the best team in baseball for a few months, and now they are in second place. Some, maybe a lot, of that, is on the Twins, not just Cleveland playing great. If the Twins were 4 games over .500 the last two months, they'd be in first. That seems like a reasonable pace....

    If they really liked Lynn.... Had they signed him before camp, who knows what happens. Instead, they waited and went cheap.....I liked the signing, as I thought he was a number three innings eater.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I was coming back to compliment Arraez! For sure.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Most fifth round picks never play a meaningful down. It's not a high price to pay, if he's good.
  24. Mike Sixel
    You'd pay Odorrizi fifteen to eighteen million per year? Because he's not turning that down. And, neither of those is signed for next year, which is kind of the actual point.... Pineda looks good, when he's actually healthy. He hasn't pitched a full year in three or four years....
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's pretty obvious I'm talking about this year, isn't it? The Yankees have plugged numerous holes from within, and have the best record. Who has come up from the minors this year for the Twins and been a positive difference maker? When does this system start producing again?
