    I get what Sano could be....but he could also be your RF or 1B or DH, so, that's why I said you'd have to get a C or SS.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I did say it would have to be a good, young, catcher or SS.....but some of the trades here have him going for a dang RP.....I really think it is a huge risk to trade Plouffe....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree with trading a top 10 3B in Plouffe.....I just don't get it. Not unless you get a MLB player, SS or C, that is signed for 2+ years. And, he'd have to be top 10 at his position......
  4. Mike Sixel
    What if you took half the salary of one of those over paid corner guys? How many millions (in effect) would you pay for Norris, and give up a decent prospect?
  5. Mike Sixel
    That seems a bit light for the A's. I'd guess Zobrist alone gets one prospect better than any of those three.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I don't anticipate any of those three being a MN Twin this season, alas. I don't understand why SD would trade their best/2nd best position player, who is 26......I don't think they will pay the price for Lucroy.....Susac is pretty much a lock to be the starter there, with Posey getting more 1B time.... I just don't see it.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Alex Meyer is a mess. This is disappointing.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Thanks to Lewis for doing this, and for Seth doing the work. Good read. Good luck to him.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Good to have games again. Go Twins.

    Short memories on Vargas? He wasn't much of a prospect. He was called up last year in an emergency. I think the short memory is of his success last year being a bit of a fluke, personally.
  11. Mike Sixel
    To what end? There are 8 pitchers ahead of him in the pecking order right now. He could be HERE, right now, helping. If he has to start more than 5 games the next 18 months, something else went really, really wrong.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I am a big fan of Gibson...... the boyer one is, wait for it, mind boggling......he's not that good! I'll bet the under on Hunter's HR pace, check his July numbers..... As for bsr, Fangraphs has them below replacement for base running this year overall.
  13. Mike Sixel
    yes, the SB are looking nice, and yes, he seems to have adjusted well. It sure would be nice to have Trea Turner now, and the next 2 years, but I still think Gordon can be better than him.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think, like most teams, they are in a holding pattern right now........ I'd not deal any of: Buxton Sano Berrios Plouffe* Dozier Gibson Everyone else, for the right price, I'd consider. *would require a huge overpay by the other side
  15. Mike Sixel
    6 errors! Wowzer. No way he can be called up, what do you tell the pitchers if you do that?
  16. Mike Sixel
    May wasn't in there? Uhhhhhh?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Never give up an out in the 2nd inning. Simple math, people.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It is a well known fact that the 3rd time thru the order is bad.....which is why some teams use their bullpen the way they do.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Five, compared to Rogers ever being 5.........what are the odds Rogers is ahead of him for more than a start here and there? As you point out, Rogers is behind A LOT of people, not counting Berrios and Stewart and Hu and Gonsalves.......
  20. Mike Sixel
    True. They have done it in the past, my point was.....putting him in the bullpen this year means nothing for his long term future. Except maybe he has a chance to make the bigs sooner......It doesn't ruin him. It doesn't doom him to the bullpen forever.
  21. Mike Sixel
    And, the Cardinals would have him in the pen this year, and starting next year. I don't get why the Twins can't follow that path. I'd think Berrios is your #5 next year......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Congrats on the call up. What a great read, which I somehow missed.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    That split thing is interesting, thanks. The last 8 innings.....compared to the last 1.5 years.....not sure I'm convinced.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    What is Duensing's role, if someone else is the LOOGY?
  25. Mike Sixel
    1. More players get market money, and are not limited as much. 2. More players get to pick where they go. 3. It isn't punishment, if part of the purpose is to help bad teams get better faster........ You seem to only be looking at the team side, and not the player side. And, if you don't let the bad teams to have some advantages, it doesn't work very well. If you only set a pool, and everyone can play, you are once again keeping wages down. Like I said, the details are debatable, but I'd like to see more players get market money, and teams to be able to really go for the guys they love, and for more players to choose where they go. Those would be my top priorities, along with giving bad teams an advantage in signing more/better players. I forgot to add, if a bottom 10 teams signs 3 players in any 1 year, they can only sign 1 the next year. That way teams are less incented to tank multiple years.
