    WAR is a counting stat....accumulated by the time on the field. He's been so good, that even playing limited time, he's helped his team win as many games as Dozier does in 158 games a year or so.....So, his WAR takes into account the time missed.
  2. Mike Sixel
    MLR, it's not as easy as adding up all the WAR of the guys they trade. Only 25 guys are on the roster at a time........it's not likely that all 3-5 players they gave up would even play on this roster. It would be cool if the Twins took the $20MM they aren't spending on Tulo and bought an elite SP...... Here is the list of all the times they've done that in their history:
  3. Mike Sixel
    I like the Troi idea, but only if I get cable again and can actually watch.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Tulo as your SS for the playoff series is vastly superior to Santana......
  5. Mike Sixel
    Don't you keep saying they can't win in the playoffs with this staff?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Brock. ...where does the mythical ace come from next year? Or the year after?
  7. Mike Sixel
    No one on the trade for Tulo side thinks this is a 1 year deal....yet you keep arguing that line. You think he just SUCKS next year and the year after?
  8. Mike Sixel
    If he is 4 WAR, and Escobar puts up 0 to .5 WAR in the other 40 games.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Wimmers and Meyer......sigh.....alas. So bummed.
  10. Mike Sixel
    If your option is him or Santana, yes, yes he should.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    So now it is 2017, but only if they develop an ace internally. ...then they are allowed to try to win it all? Unreal. Who in this system looks like an ace?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Santana is dead last among position players in WAR this year. Why is anyone comfortable with that?
  13. Mike Sixel
    so, where do they get that Ace next year or the year after? Because he's not on the roster or in the system? They don't have one glaring hole, they have SS, C, 1B, and CF.....and 1 guy in the bullpen, and yet have still banked 9 wins. You expect this collection to bank 9 wins next year?
  14. Mike Sixel
    No, I mean, no way they get Tulo. Just. Not. Happening.
  15. Mike Sixel
    btw, no way this happens. None. Nada. Nil. It's nice to dream though (I admit, for some of you, this sounds like a nightmare).
  16. Mike Sixel
    And, who is likely to be better the next three years? Me, I'll predict that Tulo will be better than a guy that can't throw the ball to the 1B in AAA. I could be wrong for sure, but if I had to bet, I'd bet on the Tulo.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Not getting him pretty much means Santana stays out there, right? I mean, we are in July, and he's still there........why would anything change unless something really changed? To the person that said Tulo's past means nothing, do you really think Polanco is likely to put up more WAR in the next three years than Tulo?
  18. Mike Sixel
    If he's so good, why isn't he here? Why does he have 7 (or more) errors in AAA already?
  19. Mike Sixel
    someone said "they aren't real this year, look for how good they will be in 2017"....I didn't put 2017 out there, not one bit. I can't help they've made terrible decisions on certain contracts, the questions is if you won't try to win in a year where you have already banked a 9 game over .500 post ASB standing....when will you? How do you expect to fill these holes at C and SS and 1B and elite pitcher, if not by trading guys and spending money? And, if you are willing to do that next year, when you don't have a 9 game head start, why not this year?
  20. Mike Sixel
    And still put up 5 WAR every year.....then add 1 WAR for his replacement! wow.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    now we are punting 2015 and 2016, and can't expect a good team until 2017? Man, those bars keep moving....
  22. Mike Sixel
    so, they are good enough next year, w/o 9 banked wins, with the same players to go all in? How does that work, exactly? Or are you suggesting they are going to sign ANOTHER SP, and C and SS? I'm confused, frankly.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If only Mauer wasn't......you could slide Tulo to 1B when Gordon is ready. That would be nice.
  24. Mike Sixel
    and you plan to fix those flaws, w/o making a trade next year, how? Who is the FA C or SS or SP they will sign to magically create a team w/o a flaw? yes, they have been lucky, but what are the odds they are lucky next year? They have banked these wins, wins they don't have next year or the year after.........should they just give up that asset for the year?
  25. Mike Sixel
    He's so good, that he still puts up 4-5 WAR every year.....every stinking year. And his OPS outside Coors only looks bad compared to the ridiculous numbers in Coors. those numbers are still very, very good. I understand the counter argument, but at some point you play to win. I was hoping a year that you are 9 games over .500 after the ASB would be one of those years, but I guess we can just wait until next year, when the next reason to try not to win comes up.....
