    Indefensible that they signed him. They love veterans, love them.

    I never said meh pitcher. I said pitcher. I'd do kirriloff, any starting pitcher in the minors, Garver, and a throw in. I don't think I do Lewis and kiriloff, but even that is tempting. It depends on how much they believe in Buxton and Sano. If they don't really believe in them, then I don't do this at all, and sell everything instead. But I tend to work from an abundance mentality in trades, that what you are trading for, and giving up, has value. Maybe it's naive, or fandom, but I have not given up on Sano or Buxton, and I believe in Realmuto.

    I'm going to say what I've been saying....go get him. I think they should offer Kepler, Garver, and a SP from the minors. Kepler can be replaced, probably not with as good a player, but if you want to get better, you have to give up talent. If they'd rather have Gordon, fine. MLB.com recently said he's the best catcher in baseball..... edit to add: If it takes Lewis or Kiriloff, I think hard about it.....but I might still do it. I don't have enough data on either to say....but JT Realmuto is STAR MLB player, under contract/control for 2.5 years. I don't think this happens. Aiming low seems to be the strategy here.

    Signing him in the first place is indefensible. Imo.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Belisle..... Why? Seriously.
  6. Mike Sixel
    No one is ignoring anything.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Yes, there was definitely bad luck in some of their losses. Luck plays a much bigger role in sports than many like to acknowledge.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Twins continue to be very lucky in these wins, with the other team unable to get hits with men on base. It's good when it happens though!

    I think people really forgot about him....but he'll be in MN this year.

    Lots of comments here about players not playing small ball, or whatever you want to call it. that is today's game, and is why Escobar is doing what he's doing.
  11. Mike Sixel
    1. Robbie Grossman (S) DH hmmmm......
  12. Mike Sixel
    If Escobar is your 2B, what kind of offense would he need for you to extend him? Because I would like to pay Machado infinity to play 3B, and put Esco at 2B......and move Sano to 1B/DH.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Dozier has the track record, they really need him to step up.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Bill 1:29 Is Alex Kiriloff a 60 Hit 60 Game Power guy? Seems like he's exceeding expectations a bit Kiley McDaniel 1:30 One of the few guys in the minors where that's possible https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-6-20-18/

    If only the twins could play the best teams in the AL more often, other than the Yankees. Though I'm sure I have that wrong in my head, and they aren't playing better against the good teams!
  16. Mike Sixel
    I hope this trend continues! They need it.

    Sonny 12:15 What are the EV's scouts look for in HS level hitters? Is there a threshold for scouts that says X mph = 55+ Raw? Kiley McDaniel 12:16 Scouts still largely don't know what to do with EV since there's a lot of office people that don't know exactly what to do with them, either. As an example, we knew Trevor Larnach (MIN, 1st round Oregon State) had somewhere from 60 to 70 raw power, but he didn't lift the ball a ton in BP and doesn't take full effort swings often. He hit some balls in game 112-115 mph which, to me and Eric, confirms it's 65 or 70 raw and he's getting to it in games.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Good luck!

    Why are they paid millions then? This is a super visible leadership position. Is it as important as the players? No. Is it trivial? I don't think so, and those that pay them must not either.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Tom Kelly?
  21. Mike Sixel
    so, don't criticize the manager?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Maddon disagrees, and says you still need to teach in the majors, especially as the league gets younger.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not gonna convince me. But I like winning.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Talent or no, his bullpen management is suspect. The team seems bad at fundamentals, and the major league staff he leads has failed at improving their two most important players. It isn't just about wins and losses....
