    Can't imagine we'll see Jay or Gonsavles in MN this year, if they won't pitch in a game until June. That's a real buzzkill.
  2. Mike Sixel
    disagree. Pitchers have routines on off days, and messing with those routines is not setting McKay up to be the most successful he can be.
  3. Mike Sixel
    that would be our disconnect, I'd think if they were trying to compete this year, they need to keep Harvey. Who pitches instead of him, with Syndergaard hurt?
  4. Mike Sixel
    why not? If it is a 5 year deal? why not?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Sure, if that's the plan. Like I said, we don't know.
  6. Mike Sixel
    that might be true, no idea. Was there ever anything about this before this week?
  7. Mike Sixel
    If it is a longer process than 1 year, then trading Santana makes even more sense, not less. They need prospects. Lots of prospects. Santana is nearing the end of his career. Keeping him won't help in 2019 and beyond.
  8. Mike Sixel
    How are those related at all?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Are they though? I don't know..... I just wish the Twins had dealt for Conforto last year, when the Mets refused to play him.
  10. Mike Sixel
    that would be great!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Well, he'd been fairly successful up until now, and is only 22. Why would they have moved him? Way too soon.
  12. Mike Sixel
    My point is, why are they trading for Dozier if they are giving up on this year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    they don't have the prospects to buy 2 legit starters. Jay and Stewart not working out as starters (or at all?), and their last first rounder missing the entire year are big time buzzkills.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Why are the Mets trading for Dozier, if htey are giving up a MLB pitcher? they are either trying to win this year, or not.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Posting this for the last part..... Bob: If for some reason Greene and McKay are gone – would you go with Beck at 3, what I have read, high upside – and use the savings to get a guy at top of second Keith Law: Nope. Would take Wright there. Not sold that there will be enough quality prep prospects at the top of the second to justify taking a lesser player at pick 3 (or 4 or 5).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. No way. People have a hard time getting over the fact players age, get hurt, whatever....they aren't the same player they remember.
  17. Mike Sixel
    If you could get him cheap, take a flyer, sure. just: a: gotta be cheap b: they need to NOT count on him. Assume ANYTHING from him is gravy. Build the team that way.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone likes Stewart's "progress". I think people are saying he's still young, and we aren't ready to give up on him as a SP.
  19. Mike Sixel
    they have price controls. And, they live healthier than we do. But mostly price controls.
  20. Mike Sixel
    yes, Yes I suggest that. This team is not good. It is not close to having legit pitching (I mean, Berrios isn't good enough to be here). yes, I suggest trading players and getting a better future. Just like the Yankees did last year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh if that is the process......
  22. Mike Sixel
    so being 2-3 years older makes it not happen?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Fans support winners. If they are winning more in multiple years past this one because they made a good trade, no one will care about this year. Fangraphs had a great interview with the Yankees' GM about this, and how hard it was to finally convince ownership they needed to sell in a year like last year, to build for the future. The Twins have refused to sell for too long now. Hence the weak farm system.
  24. Mike Sixel
    that's a pittance. Costs are driven by: An aging population that needs more expensive care. More drugs w/o price controls in the US. More cool devices to detect / treat issues (no judgement if they are good idea, but those MRI or other machines cost a lot of money) Really, cost increases are driven by demand of an aging population that lives longer thru more disease, and rising costs from providers. Do insurance companies skim off a percent? Yes, yes they do. As for single payer.....companies like UHC will probably do the processing and other work, no chance government could do that. They'll still be there making money. Again, my thoughts, not the thoughts of my employer.

    Any actual data on that 9 out of 10 thing? HS guys get PAID in teh major league draft every single year.
