    Funny, I was kidding when I typed "free Kiriloff".....but looking at Soto and some others, maybe he should move up.
  2. Mike Sixel
    By that logic, you never trade for prospects ever. Good luck building a team.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Free kiriloff!
  4. Mike Sixel
    Because he's signed for one more year. It really depends on if you think they are contenders next year or not.
  5. Mike Sixel
    clearly he should pitch at least once in his career?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Is Blake Swihart playing to try to get MN to trade for him? He almost never plays, does he?
  7. Mike Sixel
    He left? Huh. On another topic, when someone mentioned Top Gun, I got all excited thinking about Top Secret....I probably giggled some....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I have the conversation with myself often.....welcome to the club.
  9. Mike Sixel
    there are more recent studies.... https://www.fangraphs.com/tht/the-net-value-of-draft-picks/ Also, that's not exactly the "cost" of acquiring Escobar, in terms of value lost, since draft picks cannot be bought and sold, they are actually probably worth more..... think of it this way, the Twins and others have paid over 3, sometimes 5 million for the baseball rights to a 16 yo.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    a ridiculously under rated move, imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    which is better than bupkiss.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    because, despite what we all seem to think, it isn't easy to throw a pitch that isn't hittable for a strike.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Rene 4:10 Think any team looks at Lance Lynn's track record and makes a move based on past success? He can't be this bad. Maybe a change of scenery guy? Jeffrey Todd 4:10 This bad? Probably not. I mean, everyone predicted regression, but saw him as a back of the rotation dude. Can imagine him being moved, but the baseline isn't a mid-3 ERA. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/mlbtr-live-chat-3629.html

    Clearly the national rankers, who see/discuss, all the prospects like Nick Gordon a lot more than most posters here do.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    ditto. and Happ to the Yankees....
  16. Mike Sixel
    this might matter if anyone was trying to steal bases anymore.... I think people get hung up on stuff like this, and completely ignore how much better his offense is than the alternatives. I'll keep asking.....how much worse does his defense have to be than Wilson for the difference in offense to matter at all? Because the offensive difference is massive, and easily measured too.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's a HUGELY BIGLY difference.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Is he wearing down, or is AAA just harder? Or both?* *yes is an acceptable answer, though I'd like more.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Who is going to sign Escobar if they have to give up a draft pick? Why is he turning down as much in 1 year, as he'd make in 2-3 years? Take the 18MM, then sign another contract after that. No brainer, imo.
  20. Mike Sixel
    KLAW gets to the point rather quickly.... mike sixel 1:26 Some Twins' fans I interact with think the team should sign Escobar to a QO if they can't extend him. Thoughts on 18MM for Eduardo Escobar? Admittedly, they have very little payroll committed for next year....but, 18MM? Keith Law 1:27 Hardest of passes.
  21. Mike Sixel
    They freely admit they don't take into account framing......but how much better would Wilson have to be than Garver to make up for that offensive difference? It is not a small difference....
  22. Mike Sixel
    He sort of answered..... mike sixel 1:06 Love your series on killers.....Some Twins fans think the team should keep Escobar, and offer him a QO (they have almost no payroll committed next year).....18MM for Escobar? Jay Jaffe 1:09 Thank you! It's a fun one to write and I'm glad it's been well-received. Escobar doesn't have a very long track record of stellar play, but I think it's tough to go too far wrong in issuing a QO. On the other hand, it's a dick move by a team if they don't intend to keep him, because as we've seen in recent years, it can crush a mid-level guy's market. in short, Minnesota is a land of many contrasts, and I'd do the humane thing and trade Escobar at the deadline, then re-evaluate how much I want him back after the season ends. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-7-26-18/
  23. Mike Sixel
    Bummer for him.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. All those thinking they'll sign Ramos (who is hurt a lot) are most likely incorrect.
  25. Mike Sixel
    their short game also included rule 5 guy, on a supposed playoff roster......
