    Hope is ok for fans, but I hope the front office is more realistic and has a good plan.

    The only people using "take the league by storm" are those arguing he shouldn't come up. I have not seen one person say he's going to necessarily be good right away. Not one.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I think I'm with you on this one.....he'll accept. Not sure I want him to right now.

    I'm glad you weren't in charge when Hrbek and Gaetti and Puckett were around..... Basically you are arguing for zero rookies, 1 year, or 2 year players to play at all in 2019....other than Garver. That seems like a really unusual situation for any team, let alone a mid-market one.

    Lunch Angle 2:18 Eduardo Escobar has been hitting the tar out of the ball. What do you expect from him going forward? Dan Szymborski 2:18 I think that a lot of his play is for real, though I think we're seeing a career season. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was a real 110 OPS+ guy now. Maybe even better for ahwile. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-6-11-18/

    perhaps the worst advice ever for running a business. If you aren't trying to be better every day, you aren't trying. I've been thinking about starting a series of articles called: Off the Wall (not so?) Crazy Ideas for Baseball stuff like: every team in the playoffs, here's how Eliminate the draft Universal DH, for any position you want The 2 starter rotation etc....

    If they don't have Gordon up.....they probably won't have one position player with less than 2 years in the majors, maybe three or four, as a starter next year.....that seems unrealistic for a mid market team.

    Brandon Nimmo 12:09 Ohtani the Pitcher might need Tommy John. What does that mean for Ohtani the Hitter? Travis Sawchik 12:09 I don't think he can hit through a UCL repair/rehab 12:11 Angels have 31.3% playoff odds at the moment ... but those have taken a massive hit 12:12 After the Angels, Mariners have a seven-game lead over Twins. If Paxton stays healthy, I like Seattle's changes for the WC2 Frank: Is Twins prospect, Brent Rooker, someone I should target in Dynasty leagues? 12:49 Travis Sawchik: Monster college numbers and impressive pro debut last season. He has a slow start, but his bat is warming up

    Fangraphs has Lanarch 4th for hte Twins, as I expected: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-updated-top-131-prospect-rankings/

    Maybe Stewart throws stuff that is hard to square? Maybe? I still hold out some hope for him. Jay is the one I'm really confused on......he can't get out AA hitters, and lots and lots of people said he could maybe be in the bullpen day 1....We always knew Stewart would need time....

    Boston and New York are younger on offense, why are they winning so many games? Do you have any evidence that young teams don't win as many 1 run games? It isn't really that young of a team. There are zero rookies in the projected starting lineup. There are zero second year players in the projected starting lineup.
  12. Mike Sixel
    weird, I thought this was a site to discuss baseball. I do agree, they won't get much for Dozier right now....
  13. Mike Sixel
    So we knew Buxton would be a bad hitter so far based on his minor league performance? It just doesn't work that way.
  14. Mike Sixel
    They just needed more outfielders.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Or just let him go. He's not a difference maker at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    So, trade prospects for another outfielder, but not a catcher? That seems like an odd use of resources to me.
  17. Mike Sixel
    He is putting up four to five war.... And if his backup puts up one, that's not good? That's not worth dealing for?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Wade is 25 I believe. They better not be worried about service time with him. He's in his prime.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Which outfielder are we giving up on, to acquire another outfielder? Or third baseman, or middle infielder, which is why catcher makes sense, imo, they don't have any. They do have outfielders.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Never call them up! Never trade them! Vlad isn't even twenty, and will be a superstar. There is zero they have in common. The twins have a window coming now or soon. The twins somehow have a great farm system, but we should keep the prospects down, because they'll fail. Such a defeatist attitude. We will never agree on this, and I've made my points. Any more comments are just us talking past each other.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Glad Cave or Wade is getting a chance. About time. Let's see how much he plays.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Then send him down. If he doesn't, then worrying about control and options is even sillier. He should have been up most of this year, to get him ready, or have him be good, with Polanco out. I'm assuming he'll be a league average player for several or more years. Maybe not right away, but that's even more reason to have him up now, so he's more ready next year, when they probably need him
  23. Mike Sixel
    Imagine if trout did anything, it if ohtani was healthy. They won, but I don't feel like they can compete with this team, or Seattle, or Houston.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I can understand a catcher.... But an outfielder? Admittedly, I'm using outfielder loosely there....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Why? He'll be 23 next year. They'll control him at least until he's 29. Shouldn't they, I don't know, try to win some year, rather than worry about a future that may never come?
