    I did mention trade, and yet, if you search this forum, there are lots of explanations for why the can never trade for great players either.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They can't trade prospects for Sonny Gray and his salary?
  3. Mike Sixel
    There is always a reason the Twins can never get the best players in FA or trade, when does that change?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I endorse both the Cora and Calloway decisions, with my very limited knowledge. The Gardenhire one is meh, but won't kill the Tigers one way or the other, probably.

    I'm a fan of the Dodgers and Yankees re: RP.....go get a lot of really good ones......Now, the Twins don't have that money, but I'd like 2 RPs that the FO believes in to be added to this roster. Now that they have told Molitor they trust him, he can decide how they are used.

    I already posted in this thread it looks like a good non-trade. Other people were posting that all the Twins had to do was "find the next Arrieta" and they'd be good. I was pointing out that was harder than people seem to think.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, that has nothing to do with my post though.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Betting on Palka seems like a bad idea, imo. He just isn't that good.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm arguing that those saying the Twins can win in this window by getting lucky and identifying the "next Arrieta" are fooling themselves. The Twins have tried to go cheap and find diamonds in the rough ever since McPhail left. If they won't spend money and/or trade big time prospects, this isn't happening w/o significant luck.

    He's not getting impeached. We should be concentrating on building an actual Democratic party that stands for something and gets things done....
  11. Mike Sixel
    They've been trying that route for 30 years.....it worked twice. Jack Morris was the highest paid pitcher when the Twins signed him, how'd that work out?
  12. Mike Sixel
    "develop better pitchers" doesn't help next year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    You have to get the playoffs to have any chance of winning them. Better pitching helps with that. If the alternative is Lynn or AA/AAA pitchers that can't strike out hitters, I'd rather have Lynn. Sure, everyone wants an ACE, but it's kind of hard to get those.
  14. Mike Sixel
    why is that the litmus test? shouldn't it be: much better than the other options the Twins have? Otherwise, you are stuck with maybe 3 starters you can trust on the roster, and a bunch of AA/AAA types if you don't sign Darvish or trade for someone better than Berrios....
  15. Mike Sixel
    It's almost like the main point of being 5 inches shorter wasn't even in the post......* *note, I have no idea if that is an exaggeration or not, but it was the actual point.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Clearly the FO looks right here. No disagreements from me. But questioning the Dodgers seems odd, given they are in the WS and have more depth than the Mariana Trench because they didn't trade much.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    What's your realistic suggestion, then? Because they are not winning the Darvish bidding war.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Why is he going to have a hard time bargaining, if the home/away splits are that large?
  19. Mike Sixel
    over 100 days in a row w/o rain this summer.....which was kinda bad, actually.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Money, power, prestige, being a manager again?
  21. Mike Sixel
    cool stuff! thanks for doing that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    so you were cool with how Sano reacted to the RF move?
  23. Mike Sixel
    How does signing a FA pitcher stop them from building the system? Why are those mutually exclusive acts?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm with you. I was commenting on Jimmers stance that his results were bad, and I was saying that might have been due to first year back from TJ..... And, I can't see the Twins winning the Darvish or Arrieta sweepstakes. And, I agree, the list of who can help is short.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Way light.
