    Great, we agree, a team that can acquire 5 great starters is better off. But a team that can't? Should they just pitch Hughes and Slegers and Mejia and and and? Where do you expect the Twins to get 5 good/great starters next year?

    How many sacks will Mack get in his 2 games against this OL? Will he set the record?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Fair, and I'm really pushing for the 2-3 man per start rotation thing here, but I'm not opposed to the opener idea
  4. Mike Sixel
    So, don't shift? Don't walk? Keep sacrifice bunting? Keep guys that can move runners over in the two spot, even if they can't do anything else? The game changes, and evolves. this evolution of shorter starts and more pitchers is inevitable.

    the Twins don't have 2 SPs we are sure are good, where do you propose they find the other 4? They are much more likely to get good performances out of RPs (though they've, alas, struggled at that also).... Frankly, I'd consider converting Gonsalves, May, Odorizzi, and Stewart into this kind of 2-3 inning role, and see what happens. Unless they trade/sign 2 starters, they don't have the pitching to compete the traditional way, why NOT try something different?

    Well, if it is the same money or more, then it isn't about the money........but that's not the argument. The argument is that if the money is DIFFERENT, then the highest bidder is going to win.

    Well, it is working VERY WELL in Tampa, so I don't think it is the theory that is the problem in MN..... I've argued for years that teams that don't have 5-8 good starters should have 2-3 games a week that are bullpen games, with players rotating to and from AAA to fill out the roster...... This kind of thing is inevitable, imo. I don't get why people HATE it, frankly.

    Until the 70s, taking a walk was a sign of bad batting. We learn over time. It's working in Tampa, there will be more and more bullpen games as we move along,imo.

    Gimenez playing again. Why?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Whoever thinks Gimenez should be playing over the future should be fired. Now. There is no plan here at all.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Average players are fringe backups? What does that make Joe Mauer? Does anyone think Castro will play less than Garver? Not with this manger, imo.

  13. Mike Sixel
    Based on all the times they've done it before?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I was reply to a comment that said Mauer would be better than Austin..... But, even w/o that, Mauer can be replaced with a lot of other players. I listed adding a corner OF, for example, who can also DH. I listed 4-6 players that can cover 1B/DH, and most likely outhit Mauer pretty easily. As for catcher, I too would like an upgrade on Castro...and I'd like Garver to play some 1B/DH when he's not catching. He's too good a hitter to sit around 1/2 the year. Mauer isn't good, compared to other 1B or DH. The lineup you propose is pretty much this year's lineup. I am not interested in this team standing still, not even a little.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Completely

  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, if he ever hits, he's a super star. If.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hey look, he's not coming up. Just like Austin has sat 25% of the time, and Belisle and Gimenez are playing since coming back.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd hand him the Cf job, but I'd have found another OF too, a good one. Cave, Kepler, Rosario can all play center if Buxton doesn't work, but I want a really good OF brought in, assuming Machado is out.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Chris Gimenez is your starting first baseman today, while Austin sits.. ..
  21. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Inconceivable.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I hear the prisoner is on Amazon.... Need to watch the whole thing
  23. Mike Sixel
    They cut their punter and signed a different one....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Why is gimenez even playing? What is the plan here?
  25. Mike Sixel
    How is Mauer better than Austin next year? Because he hasn't been this year. First base and DH for me next year are... Austin, Kepler, Garver, Sano, Rooker when ready. Sometimes the other corner OF they bring in is the DH, whomever that is. It's possible, though unlikely, that is Kiriloff.... At some point. I'd try to sign another catcher, since Garver can play first, OF, and DH.
