    A 59 win team isn't desperate to get better over the long term or short term? If the twins aren't desperate to get better, given the last five years, when would they be?
  2. Mike Sixel
    The Sox went from terrible to to ten, using zero drafts... By making trades. How is that not impressive?
  3. Mike Sixel
    So do what to get better?
  4. Mike Sixel
    And I think much is under appreciated....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Then why does it stop?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Higher than I predicted.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Hughes had one great year and not much else... Why would we expect another year, unlike most of his career? I think relief is his future, possibly very good future
  8. Mike Sixel
    I will take that bet right now.

    I like MSFT also. I have money in drgo and GM for safety and dividends also. Sold a lot of Nvidia today, at around 250℅ return to pay off some debt. Nice year. Still have a lot of that stock. Still love it.

    Trading a catcher for a relief pitcher we didn't need is like trading for a starting pitcher with six years of control left? The Santana trade would look a lot better had they kept Hardy....A lot
  11. Mike Sixel
    Do we know this to be true? And why is Sano being traded?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Is there any evidence making one bad trade leads to more bad trades. Does anyone have data on that, or do we just magically know it is true? And Dozier is a leader and will help with contention? Really? How did that leadership work out last year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Hence "2nd or 3rd best" pitcher.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm pretty sure I see people saying they can compete, and that they should not give up on 2017.....I, otoh, have given up on 2017. Or does "don't give up on 2017" not mean people think they can be good. I've also said, repeatedly, I think they could be better with De Leon and no Dozier, than Dozier and no De Leon. I don't know that, but it could be true.
  15. Mike Sixel
    So lose no skills then....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think the delta, for many of us, is that I think 2017 is lost, and some people think they can go from 59 wins to competing....I see no chance of that as realistic at all. I'd rather gamble on 2018 and beyond, than next year. That's the impasse between me and chief, for example.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Uh, most of them have Berrios as a mid rotation starter also, not sure what that line means.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    De Leon is, I'd wager, the Twins 2nd or 3rd best starter next year....pitching like a number three. I'd rather have a number 3 pitcher for 6 years, than 2 years of Dozier. I think he actually has a chance to make them better next year, given that Polanco is here and can play 2B (thought not hit like Dozier, obviously).
  19. Mike Sixel
    Dude is going to RAKE IT IN when he's a FA, if healthy.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That last sentence doesn't make sense. Three unproven players don't make them "better enough" either. It isn't about being "better enough to compete", it is about being better over time. I don't get why people keep saying "getting 1 SP won't fix this team, so don't trade Dozier"......by that logic, you don't sign 1 FA ever either, you never make a trade if you are bad, you just stand still.....this isn't about fixing things with one trade, this is about starting to fix things. Every journey starts with one step, you don't not take that 1 step because it takes thousands to get where you are going. Unless I misunderstood your point, but people keep typing that, year after year "doing X won't fix everything, so don't do X". Well, if you keep passing on improving, you kind of never improve.

    11:03 Oggy: While it’s certainly true that there will be more buyers for Dozier at the deadline, isn’t there also the potential for there to be more 2B available because there will be more sellers? I’d think his value would be less because you could buy another suitable replacement at a lesser price, plus he’d be that much closer to FA. 11:04 Jeff Sullivan: There could be other players available, but Dozier is likely to be the best potentially available 2B. Maybe Kinsler would be available, but I expect the Tigers to be in the hunt. So then you’d be looking at…Forsythe? Cesar Hernandez? And teams always want to pick from the top of the crop
  22. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins asked for JDL and Bellinger, I say no if I'm the Dodgers. That's not realistic for 2 years of Dozier. 4 years? Sure, 2 years? No way.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I did ask a question, it was not answered. Maybe because I whined taht we set a record low temp here last night, and they all keep promising me it isn't really like this (Sullivan lives out here too).
  24. Mike Sixel
    You know, I want to be what's his name, the guy that hikes for a living, and has a tv show with celebs doing that for a living. Nothing is better than hiking in the mountains, to have the people and survival skills to that and make tons of money? Sign me up. Or physicist, you know, the exact opposite job skills.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I hope so, he can't get out RH batters at the MLB level, probably. Not facing them multiple times anyway. IMO, he should have been in the bullpen in 2015 at the MLB level. Not moving him sooner cost them a game or two that year, given the bullpen they had. Stubbornness on a guy that, imo, seems pretty obviously destined for the pen.
