    There's no reason for Jeffers to be where he is. Promote him
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand the plan here at all. Morrison does nothing for the present or future. Move on. Then find a manager that will play the youth.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why is Morrison coming back? It's time to move on.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why would he turn it down? Take 18 million, then sign a two year deal after that. That's way more money than he'll get on a three year deal this year. Not even close, imo

    Literally posted a few posts up....

    I agree with everything but the last part. That rings of whataboutism to me.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I had the same initial reaction, that's the only reason I know
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think they are all free today

    What just happened? Gameday says two runners scored on a pop up?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I don't think there is one. Unfortunately.

    They aren't replacing Buxton or Kepler. Polanco is your short stop. How will they improve catcher in the system? That leaves first, DH, catcher, she second. Do people think they will replace second with a player near what Dozier did last year? If not, they won't be seventh. And Mauer had his best year in a few last year, so they probably won't be that good next year either. The holes are second, first, catcher, DH. That's a lot to fill in one off-season to be as good as last year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Well, we are taking about the offense and position players.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but you can trade him and likely do that. I am truly surprised anyone would pay him 18 million for one year, especially for a year that had a low shot at being a playoff year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Kind of surprised, actually. I am encouraged.
  15. Mike Sixel
    there, their, they're....sigh.

    Escobar is not turning down the QO. He can take that, and then get a "meh" contract in a year, and make way more money combined. In the mean time, the Twins get nothing other than one more year of a guy that should be a utility player on a good team.....I can't see how that's a good investment of limited budgetary dollars. But, I guess I could be wrong, and he's a legit MLB starter on a good team.
  17. Mike Sixel
    great....but do you see THEM doing this? They have Cave, Wade, Buxton, Rosario and Kepler. I can't see them adding an elite OF at this point. I can't see this FO and ownership group doing what the Brewers have done, they have never acted that way here. There aren't any good 3B available, not w/o a trade. I'd consider that, but I'd be more willing to roll the die on Sano. but if a really good, young, 3B is available, I probably trade for him at this point, given Sano's issues and what the minors have. I agree, they need a 2B, but where are they going to find one better than Dozier has been? I'm talking about where the team can get better than last year, so I don't see one out there. yes, they need a 1B and DH (and yes, I'd rather that be an OF). But yes, if I thought the Twins operated differently, I might suggest a different approach. edit: To be clear, I think we agree....but I don't think the Twins do. As for Hedges? No way they are trading him right now, IMO.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Or they changed their mind, or who knows.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I sympathize with this stance, but have a different priority. Neither of us is wrong, btw....just have different interests.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Where do they get better next year? Certainly not 2B, or 3B, or the OF (other than growth of their own players). Most likely not 1B. that really leaves catcher and DH......unless they are trading numbers for a better OF or 3B or something totally unexpected.
  21. Mike Sixel
    What if it isn't to open up space for Gordon, but to get lucky and get a good player? I mean, what is the point in keeping them, assuming they aren't catching CLE.
  22. Mike Sixel
    i'm hoping he's the Robert Smith of MLB, and now will be healthy and great.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    defense counts. If it didn't, no one would be talking about how Buxton can be good even w/o hitting much. And no, I'm not saying Kepler is like Buxton on defense, but then, they aren't comparable on offense either....
  24. Mike Sixel
    If your option is to keep EE and then let him go in FA, or offer him 18MM next year.....or trade him for a guy further away than you want, I trade him for a guy further away than I want. I doubt the option is to get a guy that will help in a meaningful way next year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm.....then I really want Lynn and Odorizzi traded......and to see him here all year.
