    ha! Either I typed that wrong, or you read that wrong......and I hope I'm wrong.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd close this thread....so we only have one....but then I'm sure I said the oppo before, so that's why I'm not a mod.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm thinking more for the new manager....
  4. Mike Sixel
    They have discussed other roles for him.....is that awkward? I'd think that would be awkward....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Rogers was very good this year. Agreed.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Jake Mauer....or outside.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    We'll see who they replace him with, that's the key ....though I will have no idea (unless it is a retread) what he's like, so I doubt any prediction I make will be accurate. I was never a fan of Molitor in the role, but he did seem to be improving some this year in terms of bunting and other things (RP use excluded, imo).

    My money is on: 1. Phillies 2. White Sox 3. Yankees 4. Dodgers 100. Twins
  9. Mike Sixel
    Given that the Phillies had a historically bad defense, I think you are correct......
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree on Gibson, with Garver a close 2nd......which begs the question of why Garver didn't play more last year..... I predict Buxton wins next year....

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/elegy-for-18-minnesota-twins/ This is a great series.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    We don't know that yet......but I agree, it seems unlikely he's a future star. But neither is Mauer......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Like trading top prospects for real players.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Did they confirm him yet?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Austin is 25, Mauer is 35. One can play 140 games a year, one has not played over 100 at 1B hardly at all...... And yes, we may be sick of Austin by then, but he also makes the league minimum, and there is no emotional attachment by the team/fans, so he can be cut or traded or whatever...... They literally could not be less alike in terms of their future and their cost (both money and opportunity).

    I just like that the Brewers went out and said "we are going to have a much better OF." and did it. They didn't sit around, or say they already had good enough players. Good for them.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Last off season the Brewers went and got good / very good MLB players...... I'd rather the Twins follow that model, than sign a bunch of mediocre, just above replacement level, players. Either that or just go young and move on. Mauer does nothing for me. Adams is just a dh/1b.....they don't need more of those, not with Austin and Rooker and maybe Sano.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Signing a 1b/dh only international FA, when they had the most (or third, can't recall) money.....bad decision. They had a run of : Gordon, Jay, Stewart all in the top 10.....there is still hope for Gordon, and squinty hope for Stewart....I doubt Jay pitches one pitch for the Twins. Before Buxton, they had Levi Michael. That's 4 of 5 first round picks that are not so good yet...... But, they have to do better....much better. The last few drafts certainly look better than Jay or Stewart ever did....so that's good. But I don't think it's true that they did a good job of identifying picks.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    The Columbus, OH newspaper endorsed a Democrat for governor for the first time in 56 years......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Given the record over the last decade.....something isn't working. That seems pretty objective to me. In context, they've failed for some time.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Agree on 2019, but I think 2020 is a possibility....I clearly failed reading comprehension on your post!
  22. Mike Sixel
    I believe I was told good fans spend money, no matter what.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Gordon is 22 and a top 100 prospect. Why anyone is giving up on him is, I'm not sure the word. Zero reason to sign Dozier. Sign guys to win, or sign flyers...I will never understand why gamey want to bring back the band, when the band was bad....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Garver could play RF, I think he did in the minors. And, yes, he and Austin (right now) should be 1B and DH, imo......
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've been suggesting Garver to 1B, to save his brain for a few weeks now!
