    powerful post, appreciate it very much. In no way should we give up on people. It is funny, but you just replied we need to be even more liberal (in some ways), while many are saying we need to be even more moderate.....hence the conundrum for the Dems...... edit to add: I'll need time to properly respond.....and don't apologize for working/life/whatever, I really appreciate the conversation.

    great post. If he'd sign for less than 7MM per year I do it for sure. If it is 12MM per year, probably, though maybe not. Above that? probably not, given his track record.

    Escobar is a FA in 3 months.....why would I trade anyone signed past 2020 or 19?
  4. Mike Sixel
    As long as Belisle stays, so he can mentor all the young pitchers.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    great, another inning of "entertainment"....

    Do people really think MLB players don't talk to others, don't know about other cities, and only know about where they live/work? I don't think that's accurate......like, not close to accurate.
  7. Mike Sixel
    not if it makes me as dead as their offense....
  8. Mike Sixel
    think of the children!
  9. Mike Sixel
    and if he won't take an extension, because he wants to test FA, what would you do then?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I endorse that bunt, btw....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think the Twins will win....not that it helps much.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It was an interesting read. So, just don't really bother....because they can't stop them. Say some words, none of which will really change anything. What if the fight energizes the left, knowing their reps will really try to win? btw....I think I mostly agree, but it disgusts me.... and, it says "don't even try to keep abortion legal, or, hell, gay rights" if you want to win the midwest......is the midwest really lost? Because that reads a lot like what I've been saying here....

    this didn't age well...

    If Wilson is on this roster after today.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    how do you know that? I'm only going based on years of data....
  17. Mike Sixel
    1 run.....wow. Offensive, or something.

    Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 85 and Justice Stephen Breyer turns 80 in August If I believed in God, I'd be praying.... I wonder.....what should we feel about these people NOT retiring while Obama was POTUS, say in year 2 of his second term?

    Steve Motivator 2:56 Hi Eric. I'm curious how you feel about Mike Tauchman and LaMonte Wade becoming legitimate contributors to their respective organizations. With a decent sample size now in place, who are some of the other outfielders you see flying under the radar that are deserving of attention? Thanks! Eric A Longenhagen 2:58 I'm on Wade, skeptical of Tauchman. But also have less notes on Tauchman (who is 27 and in a crazy hitting environment) than I do on Wade (who is 24 and who I've got in-person history with dating back to college) so my error bar is bigger there Mike 3:25 Royce lewis, alex kirilloff, brusdar have to be one of the best low minors prospect trios, right? Eric A Longenhagen 3:25 Yes https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-chat-6-28/

    Arraez missed all of 2017 with a torn ACL but he’s back to his high-contact ways, hitting .311 through two months. He has an 8% strikeout rate in his career and plays up the middle, but his swing generates pretty extreme opposite-field contact and he’s unlikely to hit for any in-game power. He’ll probably have to be a 7 bat to profile, even at second base. FV: 35+ https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/daily-prospect-notes-6-28/

    I'm sorry, but trading a guy to a contender is not "treating them like cattle". IMO. If he's not signed before the trade deadline, he's going to test FA, no matter how much loyalty he feels the Twins gave him.
  22. Mike Sixel
    very fair, even if we disagree on year 1, very fair. edit: Lynn is here for 1 year, so he didn't fix anything, but fair.
  23. Mike Sixel
    those are literally replacement level WAR..... 116 OF had positive WAR last year, btw....if you filter on 200 ABs.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    sigh.

    You don't think he's thinking about FA right now? I'm guessing he's been thinking about it, and where he might go, for 1-2 years now. His eyes are already wandering, and they should be, for his sake, as is true of every FA to be.
