    Yes, another team would pick him up, because they'd only have to pay him the minimum, and some team will have lesser options than Sano. Yes, I'd keep Plouffe around, but he doesn't need some long extension right now to do so. Or, put Sano at 3B and Kepler at 1B.....not so hard to try for upside. But the Twins rarely go for upside, they tend to bet on decreasing down side.
  2. Mike Sixel
    that would make him the only ELITE prospect on this year's list not to be a regular this year, let alone next year. No way he starts in AAA next year, unless he is AWFUL the rest of this year. It's not "rushing" him at all for him to be here. That's when ELITE players come up, not when they are 24.
  3. Mike Sixel
    this, 100% this. Molitor is clearly afraid of testing youngsters w/o experience in a role. Proved it with May, Graham, and now Sano. I am losing faith he's the right guy for a rebuilding team.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'd cut him. There is no other good option for this team long term. Sano at 1B and one of Kepler, Walker, Arcia, Vargas at DH next year is a team with upside, not a team with a bad player at 1B. Mauer's not exactly great on defense either.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff. Thanks to both of you.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Mauer has a 93 wRC+. Lower than league average.....so, ya, not missing much, frankly. I'd literally cut him.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Nunez in the lineup....and Escobar....and Suzuki.....and Hunter. Yay!
  8. Mike Sixel
    The article praised them for not trading for a catcher or short stop.......i assume trading for one next year would therefore be a mistake. Ergo my question, how do they fix those next year? I don't consider Grantland and ESPN the same, but fair. My point was that not everyone agrees it was a good deadline. Nothing more or less.
  9. Mike Sixel
    And, how do you propose fixing catcher or short stop next year, if you are not allowed to trade?
  10. Mike Sixel
    ESPN hated their approach.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Except for that end part where he says it seems like a good get for the Rays, and that Hu is probably undervalued in the author's opinion, sure, it sounds great.
  12. Mike Sixel
    good googly moogly. Ya, I'm losing confidence in him more and more.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ryan didn't really say he'd do Ramos for Capps, did he? come on, now you are just trying to rile me up.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree.....but just because I think the price for a 1999 Mitsubishi Gallant is fair doesn't mean I should buy one if I can afford an actual car......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Got it, thanks for clarifying. I don't consider Kepler untouchable at all, I'd just want a C or SS or controlled elite RP in return.* Otherwise, I'd rather keep him. I get your point on finding a veteran FA OF, I don't trust Ryan to find a good one. *in some package, not implying Kepler by himself can fix those holes.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think it is amusing that those that usually defend TR for NOT TRADING prospects are now typing "prospects never work out anyway".....does no one else see the irony in this?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Are they a good team? Does this really make a difference for them?
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's not a GOOD trade.....does anyone think, now that they waited this long, that this matters this year? I don't "hate" TR.....doesn't mean I want him to be GM.
  19. Mike Sixel
    ???? Jays are mostly acquiring long term assets back....mostly, not totally. The Astros are filled with young guys, this isn't some aging team.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And no other good RP was available?
  21. Mike Sixel
    They traded Hu for this guy? What. The F? Just call up Duffey or Berrios or use May. Awful trade.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Man, how do they keep big moves like this so secret, and out of the rumor mill? This wasn't on anyone's radar!
  23. Mike Sixel
    I've never said they can't trade them, have I?
  24. Mike Sixel
    If you wait to see who has no value.....how do you trade them for anything? That's the risk here, people (TR, imo) need to get over the fear of trading a guy that MIGHT be good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    he doesn't hit HRs? He's already 22? His name is Max? the only way you trade him is for a legit MLB player with multiple years of control, imo.
