    Heh....that was a good article. In fairness to the Twins, Young was the number 1 pick, number 1 prospect, etc....... On the other side, ugh.....ya, ugh.

    I asked this on the minor league forum......if Buxton doesn't hit next year, would you move Lewis to CF to take advantage of his speed and hitting?
  3. Mike Sixel
    RK: I know you expected Royce Lewis to be a CF when he was drafted, have you changed your stance on that or no? Keith Law: No, not sure why I would. Reports I’ve gotten are that his bat is incredibly advanced, he’s every bit as smart and instinctive on the bases as advertised, but that he’s got a long way to go to be passable at short. bob: Higher upside, Alex Kiralloff or Alex Verdugo? Keith Law: Verdugo is the better athlete and defender. I feel more optimistic that Kirilloff will hit, though. Adam: What is the ceiling for Brusdar Gaterol? Been great so far this year. Keith Law: I’ve heard closer/power reliever. Obviously you hope he can start but command isn’t close right now. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2018/08/09/klawchat-8-9-18/

    No, but why not sign your 2nd or 3rd best too? And, welcome to the site!

    so, what should a team do? not win, but be more fun? I am not sure what people want TEAMS to do....

    What do people want? For teams NOT to be as smart as they can? For teams not to try to win?

    It's kind of hard to overuse a hitter, compared to a pitcher. They are two different animals. Most hitters don't need time off, if they do, that handicaps the teams. Pitchers? totally different, they need time off.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Huh. I thought they'd try to find someplace with a warmer spring maybe......my friends that live out there are probably happy though, so I am.

    I find it fascinating that so many would never draft a pitcher in round 1, because of injury concerns, but would commit 6-8 years on a contract to one. It seems like a disconnect. Of course, I don't agree on not drafting one early, so I'm probably more inclined to take the risk. I think it's also harder to sign Berrios than the two CLE pitchers because he already got a good bonus, not a great bonus, but a good one. Elite players are signing less and less contracts, if they are the kind that got paid at signing, because they see what happened to some of their peers. Me? I flip flop on signing Berrios to a deal, and only because of injuries. That said, I'd offer him 6-8 years, and see what happens. There is real value in certainty (or as close as baseball can come), and he's a legit very good to great pitcher. Gibson? Hmmmm......I'd offer a 4 year deal, meaning a 3 year extension. I don't think it happens, though. If I'm him, I want to be a FA in a year, unless the TWins really go big.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He probably will, but from what I've read, teh quality of the pitching there has dropped the last couple years, as teams worry about injury. But, we'll see.... I agree with everyone, he should be in AAA now.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Sano, Kepler, Garver, Austin (btw, Austin has a higher wrc+ than Mauer this year, in his major's at bats, so does Kepler....so does Garver). None of that counts Rooker....none of it. None of it counts a FA or trade either.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed!
  14. Mike Sixel
    Two or three spots higher, but that area is in rounding difference...
  15. Mike Sixel
    He's outhitting Mauer this year, and is more likely to get better, while Joe is more likely to get worse....that's the key for me. Plus, to me, he's one of several options, with Austin, Sano, Garver, and not sure who else..... With a tiny bench, it is hard to carry a 36 yo who needs at least 25% of the games off, and can only play 1 position. IMO.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Morrison has 1 year with more than .0.8 fWAR......I think it is more likely that year is the anomaly than this year is......He's almost 31. I can't speak to anything about his clubhouse role, but looking just at outcomes, I'm not interested in him playing anymore this year, let alone next year. Bring up Austin, cut LOMO.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Big believer in Garver. I hope he plays some 1B this year.......when not catching.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not me, I have no interest in rooting for bad dudes.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Crap. I'm a fan. How he's ok.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Who is hurt? Just got off the phone with the oldest son, talking about apartments....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I have an 18 in sarcasm, but I'm trying to cut back on it's use.
  23. Mike Sixel
    hahahaha. to avoid issues, I won't continue down that train....but it conjures up some funny thoughts.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Since you asked....his career BA is not relevant at age 36. He's not good compared to other 1B in the majors. He's not getting younger or better or likely to play any position than 1B. There are other options, that might be better. The real question is why keep him. Mauer was a great player, one of my favorite to watch hit when he was younger. But, imo, it's time to move on.

    PSA, if you like fantasy books, and somehow have not read Glen Cook's Black company.....the first book is on sale for the Kindle right now.
