    many of us are.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Gameday says delayed....weather, or are the TWins' players still in mourning over their leader being on the DL?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Only one of those since TF opened.......I mean, some of those are in the way back machine.
  4. Mike Sixel
    the curse of the trees......bring back the trees.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, he's a better hitter than mauer this year, and Cave, Wade, Rosario, Buxton exist, as do other OF options in FA.......so why not think about it? Why not have 3-4 guys that can play 1B, and other positions, rather than a guy that can only play 1B? He's also younger, cheaper, and more likely to improve next year than a 36 yo Mauer.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, if you go to FGs.....you'll note that the fielding value between one 1B and another isn't all that different. But if you want to include base running and fielding, here is the WAR leaderboard for 1B..... https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=1b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Including defense and running, Mauer moves up to 18th in WAR among 1B.......and he's not going to be younger next year.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Of Qualified 1B.....Mauer is 20th of 27 in offense (wrc+ version) across baseball.....He's not likely to get better next year. Me? I'm not betting he does. Tyler Austin has just barely outhit Mauer this year, actually (though in a small sample)......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Three "starters" not even suiting up on the OL for the first pre-season game. Does Cousins survive? Sigh.
  9. Mike Sixel
    QQ: What if Buxton doesn't hit again next year.....do you move Lewis to CF? does that answer change if Gordon turns it on next year, and Buxton isn't hitting?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Kepler, Austin, Sano and eventually Rooker next year. IMO, Mauer will be back, and I won't complain too much about it, but I won't agree with it. edit: And Garver too.......he can DH/1B/C next year for my team.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Sign an injury settlement, and move on. Teams and players do that......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Matty C 3:03 Which non-Cleveland AL Central team wins the division next? Meg Rowley 3:04 I'm inclined to say the Twins. That White Sox rebuild is looking pretty murky at the moment. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/meg-rowley-fangraphs-chat-8-7-18/

    Zips projects Morrison with a 26% chance of hitting under .200 this year.... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/its-a-special-year-for-the-mendoza-line/
  14. Mike Sixel
    Tyler Jay is the one I can't figure out......like, really can't figure out how the scouting was so wrong, even as a RP.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    100 in the majors, and they'd rather have Morrison here right now.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    like his catcher's arm?
  17. Mike Sixel
    heh, well played.....but apparently those hundreds of innings are meaningless, or 4 other teams were really wrong earlier this year....or, um, something. but well played.
  18. Mike Sixel
    so it is all random, and they are wasting money on scouts? I'm not sure I understand your point....but that's basically what you just typed.
  19. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, it might be something other than that.....like, you know, that 15 page thread we had on chemistry.....and not development.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    any idea why 31 yo old new guy, cut by 4 teams already this year, didn't pitch last night instead of Garver? Buehler? Anyone?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Interesting, I wonder what the data says about guys traded and their success after the deal......I may have to find it. If I had to guess, it isn't true that most players do better after being traded than they were doing all year until then, but that would be a guess.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I too am guessing 2020 for both Lewis and Kiriloff......no surprise, but I'd move them both to AA right now. Challenge them and see what happens. It might be good for both to struggle for the firs time..... If they aren't in AA this year, I guess both start in FTM next year, since the weather is better than any other option in the system. This makes it more likely they play full time the first month. Then they move to AA in May/June, and AAA at the end of the year.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Fangraph's latest daily prospect article has an interesting (to me) discussion of their process for grading players. You might find it interesting also. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/daily-prospect-notes-8-7-18/
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, they aren't watching Romero's innings. He's pitching full time in AAA. So, it's not about that. I really don't get the old relief pitcher thing at all. They aren't part off the future, so figure out if the other guys are, or not. Nothing about this roster says youth movement, it is one of the older rosters around. So I'm not sure who Belisle could be mentoring. So far, the only good player they have added to the MLB roster is Castro, everyone else is replacement level. Hopefully next year is better.

    have. that is all. have.
