    Congrats and good luck!

    I agree with stringer....until the masses turn out, the GOP has a core that will not break, no matter what. Literally, no matter what.
  3. Mike Sixel
    This. they have money, they have prospects, and they have some good players. This team can contend next year, and should be trying to contend next year. IMO, they won't by standing still or only using their current internal options, though.

    I think it is partly Buxton, and partly that OF get a handful of plays, maybe 10-20 or so, that can make or break their stats.....from year to year. Sometimes they'all all go right, and sometimes they'll all go wrong. But, having "watched" Rosario his whole career, I'm guessing it is also that the dude can make some interesting plays at times....which sometimes work, and sometimes don't.

    There is no evidence that trading a player makes it less likely you re sign him if you want to. Most tend just don't want to.
  6. Mike Sixel
    He will get claimed, imo, next year, in the rule five. So, I'lli not sure what they should do with him this year. But I'm not opposed to your idea.... But I see almost no chance he is in Rochester to start the year.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He made plenty in AAA, while the team needed relief pitchers, even though it was obvious he'd never be a starter. So, eventually.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Them playing him every other day kind of indicates they are setting this up for him not to come up until the last moment, imo.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Always argued he would be a good RP, glad they moved him there eventually. He should be good for awhile.
  10. Mike Sixel
    They have the money to do all that. Also, Sano isn't signing a deal right now. Does anyone think he won't bet he's great again?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I wasn't sure he'd still be on the roster by now....

    Dave 10:18 Is this Joe Mauer's last year as a Twin? Jeff Sullivan 10:18 I don't really know why they'd keep him around, as strange as that sounds to say https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-8-17-18/

    So your rotation is set? Gibson, Odo, Pineda, Berrios, Mejia? No additions from teh outside, no promotions? Good luck. And, I think you want ESan also......how does that work?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Pretty much my position, I just don't know the SP.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    If I had any idea how to share media, there would be a Twilight Zone meme here instead of words....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Great title. I'd like to see him pitch every three games or so, to get back into the game.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Hard to say, I didn't get enough comments on my rather long pieces on what I'd do for me to take the time right now to look at teams and names......and I am only partially interested in doing the work right now. Maybe that changes in a month or so....launching a website/business is distracting me from fun.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm warming up to it, but given my lack of income, will likely not renew.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Mejia is out of options, if he's not on the roster, he's gone.....so I think he's a lock.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Good point above.....they might be moving Polanco to 2B, and promoting Lewis in 2020..... OTOH, if Buxton can't hit, they might be moving Lewis to CF at some point.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    De Jong, the guy they recently traded for? I'd move him to RP. Same with maybe Alcala. Maybe.....on Alcala. Odorizzi seems like a guy that would gain 2 MPH, and has the kind of stuff that plays well in relief. That frees up space for others. And Pineda, he might be a RP next year, though I think he'll start, especially if they move Odo to RP...
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't get the sign him crowd. Check out his numbers over his career, and the trend......this team isn't going to contend next year by filling out the holes with replacement level, or slightly above, players. The don't need to save money on 2B, they have tens of millions available to spend. I'd trade him for any lottery ticket, but I don't know why a GM trades for him w/o an injury. Barring that, I play him here the rest of the year, and thank him for his time here at the end of the season, and go get a better player.
  24. Mike Sixel
    In FA? I don't know. I'd have to look at the list again. Escobar is a nice player, but I'm not sure he's "big time" enough for this threshold. (huh, there is only 1 H in the middle of that word....) But I really want a trade for a legit SP or big time OF, I just don't see them doing OF
  25. Mike Sixel
    Turns out what you believe is wrong.... https://www.mlb.com/news/bob-gibsons-hit-batters-reputation-deceiving/c-266183960
