    pitcher, pitcher who didn't make real money as a draftee, guy who didn't make real money as a draftee.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Heh, if everyone would do that deal in a minute, there is no way any agent would.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Correct, that's the one of the points of Dave's article on Fangraphs.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Holy cow.

    Imagine trying to convince a FA to move to OK City. Even the NBA, with all its money, struggles with that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    don't forget, more playoff games=more league revenue. Also, more revenue from hats, jerseys, etc. due to 2 more teams. But, I think your point, overall, has merit.

    8 divisions>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4 divisions. It's probably more > than that, but I was too lazy to hit enter 100000000x. And, I don't think for a minute Portland is a good idea. Not enough big businesses to buy up the boxes and season tickets.

    then why don't tv stations change their model for how commercials are done? I'd bet they spend a lot of money on researching how to do this already. And, repetition is the key to advertising. Unless the marketing research is mostly wrong.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Seems light to me. Really good FA will get 20+MM per year within a year or two. Also, this: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-possible-extinction-of-the-early-career-superstar-extension/ If they pull it off, they'll have done something few other FOs have been able to do lately, despite all the young stars out there.

    I guess if you think he's a 5 after next year, agreed, but why would you think that? and, the post said basically not to add anyone, to wait and see what happens. did I read the post wrong?

    Penalizing Dozier's value because there were possible replacements on the roster, imo, makes zero sense. to me "how much did he contribute to winning" is the question. Dozier Buxton ..... ..... ..... Rosario and ESan Mauer No one else is close, though Sano would be 1, 2, or 3 had he been healthy.

    why not try to get better, and see if luck happens? I'd rather that than "they can't catch up to the big teams, so save the money for later", which seems to be the argument here many years. Saving the money for later literally only puts money in the owners' pockets, it does not mean they spend more money later.
  13. Mike Sixel
    no one pitches that many innings any more. All of 15 pitchers did that in 2017. I think you need to re-think your standards.
  14. Mike Sixel
    we all would.
  15. Mike Sixel
    they could have afforded Cliff Lee....no problem. they didn't manage to pull that off, for whatever reason. There's always a reason they can't trade/sign/add.......always. Clearly some fans don't agree that it's always the case.
  16. Mike Sixel
    no one is arguing to build the bulk of their team in FA, so I don't know what you are arguing. As for your math, if you won't pay market prices (with the risk you don't get the WAR you want back), you won't sign FA to multi year deals. In no instance did the Twins pay more than other similar deals.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think McCutchen has an option year. He'd have to agree to move to LF or RF. I have my doubts he'd do that, pretty sure he balked at that not long after doing it last year. With an option here, and with him agreeing to move to a corner (no idea how his D is), maybe.
  18. Mike Sixel
    KLAW was impressed with Jay, btw. His overall comment is that that talent in the AFL is way down (for the games he could see in a week or so).
  19. Mike Sixel
    yo, at least 4 of us (once Bob moves here) would like to beg to differ...... but I agree with your point totally.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kepler, Gordon, a good AA pitcher, and Mejia and whatever hitter they want from the minors MIGHT get that done.
  21. Mike Sixel
    they being Pittsburgh, not MN.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, that was mostly laziness in the list, trying to figure out who was "traded" for, since I figure if they are traded for but spend time in the minors here, it's different than a veteran traded for......and I didn't want to get into pedantic arguments over that..... And, in the years you mention, there are a good number of games started by traded for guys that were veterans when they got to MN. And even some of those years were more lean than I thought for good SP.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Actually, someone above makes a good point, they have good OF prospects.....I'd guess it would be Kepler and 1 minor league player, or three minor leaguers, if they deal Cole.
  24. Mike Sixel
    that quote says FA or trade. But you make a good point. How has it worked out since 2010? How are other teams built? I mean, CLE is mostly traded for guys, isn't it? They also signed EE this year, since they had a window and money.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Would you rather have Lynn and Rosario, or Cole and some FA OF?
