    Pacific NW. Portland or Seattle are the leading contenders.
  2. Mike Sixel
    May going down would not encourage me to continue caring about this team when I move this fall.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    If it was so easy to find 2-3 WAR players, the Twins wouldn't keep losing 90 games every season, having zero OF, and signing OLD bad RP to deals......getting rid of guys like Plouffe is not a winning strategy* *assuming he's this good
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think you are replying to sarcasm.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Making decisions on tenure, not production? Awful idea.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I forgot about the injury.......
  7. Mike Sixel
    Serious question: If Pinto is as bad at catcher as I'm told, does it hurt Meyer to have him catching?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ah, then send him down seems like the right thing......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, JB......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Please don't demote possible parts of the future......why would a team do that?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Trade them for what? And, I don't agree. One of them should be in the bullpen for emergency starts/depth. Since Alex Meyer is showing he's not all that good ...... they need the depth.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Put Nolasco or Milone in the bullpen. This isn't really that hard a choice right now. this is the problem, imo, of having lots of pitchers w/o options, on a team that is not a contender.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Granite is too old for the level, time to move him up and test him. Meyer. sigh.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well, this is unexpected. Admittedly, it is only a couple of starts, but still........ I'd put Nolasco in the bullpen now, or Milone, but Pelfrey should stay in the rotation until he proves this isn't a fluke (or, the whole year being a success, which would be awesome).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Ya, don't get me wrong, you can only play the teams you are assigned to play, and the pitchers have been great. My question was about how excited I should be about their future....not at what they have accomplished.
  16. Mike Sixel
    How is the offense in this league overall? Are the Twins' pitchers way ahead, or a little ahead, of the pack?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff, thanks for writing it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I was just checking. I'm not big on signing 32 year olds to 4 year deals.....Signing good 28 year olds to 4-6 year deals? Maybe, but ya, I share your skepticism. Every team will have some 32 year olds, it's the price you pay for having good 30 year olds.
  19. Mike Sixel
    so, basically, never extend any player that doesn't come up by 24?
  20. Mike Sixel
    There is also value in "certainty", if you believe Plouffe is a legit 3B. Knowing you have a 3B is valuable in and of itself, even over the value of having one.
  21. Mike Sixel
    How is it fear? Plouffe isn't old, he's not expensive, he has progressed while in the majors......isn't that the kind of guy to keep around and build around (rather, than say, guys in their 30s that aren't good)? I'd rather Sano stick at 3B, and Plouffe be Zobrist lite.......but I'd be OK with them trying Sano in RF. OK does not mean it is my plan, my preference, nothing more than I'd be ok with them if they tried it.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That would be based on putting Sano out there in the minors and seeing what he can do. Frankly, I have my doubts he can stick at 3B long term, but think it is possible he could in RF. Frankly, I have my doubts about Plouffe maintaining last year, but I think it is 50/50, so I would consider seeing if Sano can play RF, since, I think Plouffe might be a legit 3B. I have zero interest in Sano at DH anytime soon.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If only there was evidence that you could win with great defense, decent hitting, and an elite bullpen.....and if only you could figure out which players might be really good defensively, and you valued that defense the same way (or maybe a discount, because it is harder to measure) you valued offense, and then you signed players based on that.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    Which is how you end up with Bartlett, Kubel, Nunez, et. al. on your bench, instead of actual good MLB players......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Wait, you are complaining about small sample size, then saying 30 PAs this year is more relevant than their careers? I'm confused.
