    Because if a team puts him on the field, he'll be quite good, imo. I'd rather try to get Donald, since he's holding out......that would make this defense unreal, imo.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't think Girardi was the "problem" there....but your point that MN sports' fans have much lower expectations is true. That's what the team has been saying for years, and if you say stuff long enough, people believe it.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Well, they've shown "on average" is not how it works. That's the max, even when they are way below that for a few years. Given the FO's talk, I doubt that changes in any meaningful way.
  4. Mike Sixel
    That was fun for sure.

    As much as I love Kepler, I don't sign him. Even in the era of the live ball, he shows limited power. I'd try on Rosario, but he is a high beta player for sure, and people vastly over estimate his running and defense, imo. I like the idea of the Escobar deal, they need 3B/Sano insurance.

    Because people don't like to spend more money early....because they want to pass the costs to later years. Because players bitch and moan that they are underpaid in the latter years, ignoring they got more money early. Because of years of "it's cheaper to pay in the future than the near term" due to high inflation and interest rates. Lots and lots and lots of reasons.

    They just passed legislation taking away your right to class action sue financial institutions like Wells Fargo and Equifax......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Really, you should yourself time and put that in your sig.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Somehow I had forgotten the Miller trade. Sigh. So, both teams are willing to trade legit prospects for veterans. Let's hope that part does change here....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but the new FO has been clear, they aren't going to spend huge dollars in FA on one player. That's not going to change.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Fair response. I just don't get why the Padres would make a deal for a guy like this, if he has any shot at being good, this early in his career. Most of the guys you find like this, have failed for a year or two, then come back to be good.
  12. Mike Sixel
    If they only have $15MM, this team is in serious trouble. Because that doesn't buy 1 SP.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Is it possible not to turn this into another "Ryan is awesome" vs "three of the players were here before the rebuild started" thread? Can we just talk about these prospects, please?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Wasted was an exaggeration.....but it could have been much more than it was. I have my doubts this team is even close to those teams yet, but go get a legit SP and 2 legit RPs, and we can talk.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't know why anyone trusts a SD pitcher to be good outside SD.... And, if he's a legit prospect to be a number 1/2 type, it will take way more than a guy with 3-4 years of control and a guy in low who just missed a year of baseball with an injury.
  16. Mike Sixel
    IMO, if they don't find pitching help in the next year or two, Sano and Buxton's time will be remembered like Mauer and Morneau's time.....wasted.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Well, we read the comments differently, and that's cool. I read pretty much every day that the Twins can't afford the best FAs (and I agree with that). I also read that they shouldn't trade the future, because "I want them to be great for my whole lifetime", or that "the Twins don't have the pieces to trade for great players". I also read that "all they have to do is find the next Arrieta" from a lot of posters. Maybe we interpret those statements differently, and maybe they are not exclusive to each other? It's certainly possible I'm reading the board wrong. But, IME, the Twins don't sign the expensive FAs, and they don't trade legit prospects for great players. Cleveland also does not do that, so if we are following their approach, we won't see trades of good/great prospects for proven players. Houston, OTOH, does do that. So if they are following Houston, we might see that. edit: and I see Chief agrees with my reading....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather go drinking in Portland......good luck finding someone! that looks like a large commitment.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, and my RW cousin loves it! He's totally hooked on breitbart, conspiracy theories, all kinds of stuff. IMO, the GOP is swinging way right on social issues and whatever direction you call "give even more money to the rich".....I still think a legit revolution and riots are in my kids' future....
  20. Mike Sixel
    We strongly disagree on that
  21. Mike Sixel
    These pitchers are good
  22. Mike Sixel
    It will be a lot longer rebuild if they missed on Gordon, Stewart, Jay and Kiriloff......let's hope not..... I never see these guys play, I can only go on what others say on line and stats....but Badoo seems under rated as a rule. And I am a big Thorpe believer for some reason.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I have my doubts about that approach, but well played.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I plan to watch the bottom of a beer glass, and maybe a board game being played..... also, the WS in the background some of the time.
  25. Mike Sixel
    well played!
