    Meh, I was curious how many teams have moved this many players.....and too lazy to look.....and in fairness, no way Jeff would know either.... mike sixel 9:30 Has any team unloaded as many players in July and August as MN has this year? Can they send Morrison or Forsythe or Santana out still and keep it going? They don't have many guys left to deal.... Jeff Sullivan 9:31 It was a roster made up of a whole bunch of contract-year players. This is what happens to those Wouldn't be shocked to see Ervin Santana on the move https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-8-10-18/

    #$^@%&^@$$^@# Not only is Mejia hurt, but that means Austin will maybe sit on the bench while Morrison plays. I hope to be wrong about Austin sitting...
  3. Mike Sixel
    An insane number of comments, given there is less chance of Mauer being traded than Brock playing for the Twins this year.....

    If there were no other options, was it really brilliant strategy, or just what was available? I think they did a lot right last off season, it just didn't work. But I also think they did little to nothing to fix the medium term, either by signing longer term FAs or trading for player(s). But, if there are no real options for long term deals, is it really genius to not do what you can't do? That was the point of the post.......maybe they signed a bunch of ST deals because there wasn't another option, not because that's what they wanted to do. I hope they are dealing from this super deep farm system for 1 MLB player with 3+ years of control this off season. No idea who, but a C, 3B, OF, 1B or SP would be nice. If not, it looks like another year of 1 year deals and hoping someone from the farm steps up.

    A QO will be worth 19MM by then.....at that point, depending on how things look, you maybe just take that 1 year deal. If he's this good next year, he'll get a deal, even as a 32 yo. Most athletes bet on themselves at this point, not all, but most. I think 4/80 gets it done. I don't think 3 years (as that's only a 2 year extension) gets is done, but it might. Kind of depends how long he wants to play.

    There isn't a national publication that even has them close, is there? I mean, FG has Arraez 31st on their list. I doubt that is some kind of bias.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Interesting on De Jong......I wonder if he should be in the Twins bullpen right now, and not Duffey?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea why everyone is so sure Romero is going to be really good, he's not even in the majors right now........ I see no shot Gibson signs for a low deal, this is his last shot to make big money. You either have to give him years, or big money, or both, imo, to get him to sign.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I gotta say, I'm happy Austin is coming up before September. I have no idea if he's going to be good or not, but they need to know. He hit ok when up earlier this year, not great, not bad. Duffey? I hope they throw CB after CB and see what happens. Good luck to both of them!
  10. Mike Sixel
    It also glosses over that they went low risk, low reward, by not signing the best FAs (though they certainly tried to sign Darvish).
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Unexpected. Not sure how I feel about the return. Make McGill the closer please. Keep May for high leverage. Or maybe move Reed to closer?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Sano, Kepler, Austin, Garver, that's pretty easy, and gives you position flexibility. Maybe Rooker is ready at some point. It's very unlikely that group produces less than Mauer.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure how anyone can reach that conclusion based on the past 12 months. I'd love to hear your rationale.
  14. Mike Sixel
    No. Still puts him below median at 1B.......but he's not hitting close to that this year, so I'm not sure why we'd expect that. He also didn't hit that high in 2016. 2017 appears to be the outlier.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I admit it isn't a realistic plan, at this point. More hope.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It is possible the Twins need Kepler in CF next year too, which puts a small cramper in my plan.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't know hte rosters well, but if there is a bad team with a decent OG, I'm offering a 2nd rounder and one of our bad OGs for him (assuming he has 2-3 years of control left).......Heck, I'd have done that before this injury.
  18. Mike Sixel
    We'll never know, because he'll stay at SS until they move him.....if you know what I mean. Take Harper, the Nats moved him off of C partly to get him up sooner, rather than later. I'm guessing that Lewis could learn CF in half a year....but how long until he is a really good SS? I have no idea....

    NERDS!

    Mike Sixel replied to awinter's topic in Other Baseball

    this I agree with, but that's not on the teams, or the nerds. btw, I'm shocked a jock would even say this kind of thing....
  20. Mike Sixel
    long read, on a short play.... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/willians-astudillo-pulled-off-the-hidden-ball-trick/
  21. Mike Sixel
    No such thing as a bad 1 year deal, after all.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Odd, who would have predicted not using high picks ever on the OL would backfire someday?
  23. Mike Sixel
    The disappointing thing about the late losses is that the FO signed Rodney, Reed, Duke to add to what they already had, and the bullpen still isn't working out......
  24. Mike Sixel
    literally not my point....where is the complaint about Wilson......
  25. Mike Sixel
    If Garver was catching, I'd be reading about how he cost the team with his arm.....or something....
