    Backup tackle Aviante Collins out for the year. Good luck RBs and Cousins if a starter gets hurt.... There is no depth.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'll be in Lambeau for the game, in my purple with my Packer friend. Not confident.....

    Huge fan, and I'm a lifelong Vikings fan.....

    They have no good backup plan all over the field, no idea why Astudillo is not pay of the plan. But then, I don't get why they like Grossman, who doesn't hit enough for his fielding, or Belisle, or Gimenez at first. Really a lot of odd decisions right now. Why anyone is paying attention, I have no idea.

    Luck is a super power

    Or other teams, or tv shows.... This part of the site has always been here. I like movies too.

    when you have a strategy.....you should take your 5-7% and not get greedy.....not that I'm worried I won't recover the losses, but still....stupid mike.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Mauer is as half way as you can get...... and Rooker, Weil and Raley are the plan (all in the minors) if Kepler, Austin, Sano, Garver can't do it.......maybe Astudillo if he's still around. Or Gimenez can play 1B, I'm sure.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not all four, no, but I certainly wouldn't say Rooker and Kirirloff need to sit around in A and AA to start the year.....both should be moved up, and if they are very good, promoted here if needed. The league is younger and younger. Do people really think Buxton should have spent another year in AAA? Do we actually know that would have helped at all? It certainly worked for a lot of ATL and other players the last few years......just because two Twins struggled doesn't mean they should drag their feet with the next players. Really, Kiriloff could have been in AA the last month here, but that didn't happen. Then he could spend only a month in AA next year before moving up. So now we'll read how he has to play at least 2 months at every level before moving up, meaning it will be 2020 realistically, meaning they better go get another OF this off season if they plan to compete.

    good thing for ATL fans that team doesn't operate that way......
  11. Mike Sixel
    It was his first full year of baseball, gotta need some rest. Plus, as KLAW points out, the AFL is basically high A pitching quality wise anyway.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I will never understand the thoughts on Kepler, he's exactly league median for RF and CF in all of the majors, and he's not exactly old.......but I'd certainly have him working at first, RF, and CF next year for this team. His bat is a bit down, but it's not terrible. As for Kiriloff, it is very hard not to be excited about him. Wow.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Remember when people here said the Twins and Astros and Cubs were on the same timeline? Good times.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    99% I am at week two, they better get lucky and win!
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sano, Kepler, Garver, utility infielder are the backups.....Rooker and Weil are the hopeful backup plans. That doesn't work?
  16. Mike Sixel
    ten or eleven wins, playoffs, and then who knows? Lots of great NFC teams this year, lots. ATL, NO, LA, MN, GB, Philly
  17. Mike Sixel
    BTW, some really good articles on Lewis and Jeffers on the Athletic........mostly about how they are working with them on defense (interesting both were about that), and how even some in the Twins' had doubts about Lewis sticking at SS.

    given this, thanks again to our mods! mike sixel 1:55 It would be sad if comments went away, we (I) like the interaction......is it really that bad? Keith Law 1:56 I have had to keep moderation on for two years now because of a very small number of abusive people (two, maybe three). One is pretty much a single comment away from me going to the police.
  19. Mike Sixel
    There is plenty of blame to go around.....true. Alas. Also, while I revile many of their policies, the GOP has executed the long game of brainwashing very effectively, so they deserve some blame too.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    John 1:55 Has Lewis Thorpe put himself back on the top 100 radar this year with the better performance and being 2 years removed from TJ? Keith Law 1:55 Not yet, not unless the stuff ticks up.
  21. Mike Sixel
    In my fantasy world (the more realistic one than sign Machado and Kershaw): Twins sign/trade for a really good OF..... Kepler and Austin split time at 1B with a bit of Sano and Garver thrown in. DH: Kepler, Austin, good OF, Sano, Garver, Rosario, eventually Rooker maybe even Kiriloff.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Marshall MN 1:27 What are your thoughts on the Twins handling of Buxton at the end of this year? Keith Law 1:27 Completely disagree with it, and I think he should file a grievance - I think more players should fight these manipulations, because teams do it with impunity right now. Lois Sanborn 1:33 Hi Keith, thanks for all of your work! It always makes me happy to hear your thoughts on baseball and non-baseball topics alike. How would you project Alex Kirilloff's game power going forward? I just looked up his spray chart from this season and noticed that he hit 11 of his 20 HRs to left or left-center, which was surprising to me. Keith Law 1:33 I think he's a plus hit plus power guy in a corner. Great prospect only limited by positional value.

    can't even win most disappointing...what a year! ohioscott 1:31 Based on record alone what team has been your biggest positive surprise and negative surprise? Positive - Tampa or A's or ??? Negative - Nats or Twins or ??? Jay Jaffe 1:33 I think the four teams you named are well qualified within their respective categories. I think most folks actively thought the Rays would be terrible given their trades and injuries, whereas they saw the A's as mediocre, but the distance from expectation to actuality seems pretty similar in both cases. I think the Nationals win the Most Disappointing Team award, hands down — they were supposed to have a shot at a championship, rather than have people lobby for them to be shot out of a cannon.

    Well, Tyler Austin is outperforming Mauer 2:1 in WAR in his time with the Twins.....in 1/6th the plate appearances, he has half the WAR.....that's with a BABIP of just .263......so, they have already found someone better. If by some miracle Austin kept up that pace over a full season, he'd be a top 10 1B in all of baseball......whereas Mauer is currently 15th. Now, if Mauer could somehow actually play 140 games (which he never has in his career, ever).....he might be a good player. But it's hard to carry a player that will likely play 100-120 games, max, at 1b/DH.

    We all know he's going to be confirmed. We all know we are going to lose rights left and right. I blame the liberal justices for not retiring early in Obama's second term (note, I said early, like, right away)......oh, and the electorate for electing Trump....but the justices had control over this situation....
