    I'll take that bet. I'm guessing he's a league average MIF for at least five years of his career (barring injury of course).

    I hate the use of the word "rush", since it implies people are moving that don't deserve to move..... The league is getting younger and younger, just look at the debut dates for some of the elite players in this league. No one is saying promote him to the majors, or AAA, or AA......but he's either ready to close to ready for high A. I'll never understand people that don't want to challenge players with promotions.

    Since you asked what I'd do....I'd rotate Gordon with those two, and have him playing at least 2/3 of the time. Despite what some say, ML experience and information gathering are important, and I'd want to gather info. Then, unless he's awesome, I demote him to AAA to start next year. If he is awesome, he's my starter. Lots of teams are learning that they should trust great performances, and let players prove them right or wrong.....I'd take that chance if he's great up here in September. Most likely, he's ok, and he starts next year in AAA.

    If that's what you really think, then they should blow it up, right? Didn't you just type you don't think they can compete next year? IF so, fine, trade Gibson and anyone else not part of 2020 or beyond.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Gibson loses a lot of value if you wait another half year to deal him. So, yes, I'm asking them to make a decision with imperfect information. I've looked at the FA list, it's not actually all that pretty......
  7. Mike Sixel
    FG has Kelly 71st on their updated prospect list....so, he's actually considered quite a high prospect. He's been very good in AAA, but in two short stints in the majors has made Wilson look like Hank Aaron.... I'd want a flyer or something more than Kelly back at this point.
  8. Mike Sixel
    FG has Gore, McKay and Wright ranked higher in their updated prospect list, and they've seen them and talked to scouts across the leagues to do those updates. Greene has been better as the year has gone on, but is ranked lower than Lewis on their update. I love Lewis, but I just don't get these posts at all. For the list....I don't know if I'd have Gonsalves this high, but I'm not sure or not. Can't argue with the rest of the top 5, or the order, at all. A good top 5 for sure. Lewis can hit and run and Kiriloff looks like the hitter that the scouts talked about. Gaterol has elite stuff, just need to see how it holds up and develops. Grodon will have a long career at SS or 2B, maybe not elite, but good, long, career.
  9. Mike Sixel
    actually, I've been clear just a few posts above that I'd be ok if they went a different route.....just a couple posts up. But, pick a route, that isn't the middle "do nothing" path that either doesn't add minor league talent, or doesn't add ML talent.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess Adrianza or Polanco plays 2B when/if Dozier is traded. Gordon will be up in September, and rarely play, if history is any indicator...
  11. Mike Sixel
    Gibson is currently 24th overall in FWAR for pitchers........he has another year of control. he's been this good for a full season now, since he made visible, measurable, changes..... I think people are vastly underestimating his value right now.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Of course, those would not be the only two things that happen, either...... How does not adding talent help them get closer?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but there is a middle between "really young" and "old".... And, if a player is in their 3rd or 4th year, are they really "young" or "inexperienced" as the implication keeps being here?
  14. Mike Sixel
    they won't be as good as those teams in the next three years w/o major trades and / or major FA signings. The Twins will be w/o Mauer and Dozier (most likely), with no replacement for either that looks even close to those two at their peaks. They have no catcher that will be really good in that time frame. They have one or two starting pitchers. They might never be as good as the Yankees if the Yankees keep cranking out prospects and keep signing / trading for great players. Houston and Boston ad NYY are younger and better, and have better prospects in AAA. What is the strategy to ever be as good as them in the Buxton/Sano window?
  15. Mike Sixel
    They're not young. Other than that, sure.

    that explains the "speed" lately....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Used in arbitration....plus, you get to be known as an All Star forever. I'd totally want that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I wish we were seeing more young players this year, and that they were playing more. Buxton will be a FA in 2022....so 4 more years (I thought it was three). Sano will be a FA in 2022....so 4 more years (I thought it was three). That extra year of control does change my mind some on the timeline.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It never rains here....other than September through April....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Grossman might be batting a bit high for my tastes....but Willians is playing!
  22. Mike Sixel
    Certainly not 2019, and almost certainly not 2020, if he's not in A+ this year. I also don't understand the plan here.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good luck. We're all counting on you.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Littell and Rooker both could help next year. I have some doubts about both, but they should be in position to do so.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Seems like us former or current SLP peeps should have golfed together more often.....
