    explain how keeping Dozier, and getting nothing, is good in the long term. Putting aside a discussion of a fair price, how does Dozier leaving in 2 years help them in the long term?
  2. Mike Sixel
    the world in general. There seems to be an effect that if a player is positvely viewed, the board takes the word on the street as real (those parts of the board that BELIEVE in leadership being important, not those arguing leadership is less important, that's not the same as saying he's not a good leader), when guys have negative reps, but are good, people say still sign him. Just like bad dudes that play in the NFL but are great have lots of fans....

    so, when someone is a "great leader", we take the peoples' word for it, but when he's not, we don't? Or am I misunderstanding all the talk about signing great veteran leaders?

    And that bet is a good bet? He's a bat only player at this point. Bautista on a bounce back helping the Twins contend, forfeighted 2nd round pick and $2MM in signing money for the draft Bautista on a bounce back, not helping the Twins contend, and traded for something useful, forfeighted 2nd round pick and $2MM in signing money for the draft No Bautista, a 2nd round pick, and the $2MM in pool money Which of those seems like the best bet for a 59 win team with a mediocre (or worse) farm system (which is how they will rate when stack ranked by BA, Sickels, Fangrapsh, KLAW, MLB)?

    9:12 J. Peterman: Do you still believe in Berrios? 9:12 Paul Swydan: I WANT to believe. But my faith is waning, for sure. 9:13 Dr Evil: While the Twins may not have a huge # of options for Dozier beyond the Dodgers, should they hold out for a significant 2nd piece beyond Deleon? 9:13 Paul Swydan: Yes, absolutely. The Dodgers are bluffing. They’re not starting Kike Hernandez at second all year.

    I'm not actually convinced if they got 2 near MLB SPs that there would be more losing in the next two years. I'm also not seeing how they add more arms in the next 2 years. They will have to rely on internal growth and luck. This was/is their best chance to add talent. Somehow other teams have managed to trade assets and get prospects that are good/great. We are now 5 year into being bad, and have not pulled off one good trade.

    based on 1.4 WAR (or whatever) players who can't field and are declining having fetched a lot the last few years?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Well, this would be disappointing. Lots of losses on the way with this "pitching" staff. Hard to believe no one wants to pay a decent price to get Dozier, who could play 2B or 1B or DH, given his bat/glove.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not sure iI can go much longer. We might walk to the brewery......
  10. Mike Sixel
    As an experiment, I am currently holding back on peeing. About an hour in....
  11. Mike Sixel
    And they had more money to use....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Frankly, giving up the first pick in round teo is foolish for a 59 win team, imo. Giving up flexibility is icing on the cake.
  13. Mike Sixel
    But you gave up your money from the second round pick, so you have less money to work with
  14. Mike Sixel
    So you don't trust the twins scouts? One year of a DH, on a 59 win team, In exchange for a chance at long term help? Pass
  15. Mike Sixel
    Would people really trade Berrios for one year of a DH? Wow.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Was our future AG taken out of context, when he said women and LGBQT don't face discrimination?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe my post wasn't clearly read as sarcasm, given I LITERALLY mentioned Berrios and Gonsalves......
  18. Mike Sixel
    You really think they can get a very good prospect for 1/3 of a year of a hitter that can't really field? Seems unlikely to me, frankly. Also, we lose the pool money to play with to sign a guy that drops.... As for the entertainment part, I likely place a lower value on that than you, so that part is hard to measure.
  19. Mike Sixel
    given I mentioned Berrios and gonsalves....yes, sarcasm.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's not like any of the Twins' top SP prospects from PR were drafted in round 2, or from CA were drafted in round 4. You can't get good players that late, we all know that....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I love that moment so much. Just pure joy.
  22. Mike Sixel
    What's the likelihood he helps the Twins make the playoffs this year? or that they trade him for a prospect better than they could draft?
  23. Mike Sixel
    really? who was that?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of giving up draft picks on a 59 win team.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    agreed, can't blame them for not selling at 50 cents on the dollar.....if that's the offer. but, in the end, if they can't deal Dozier for pitching, it's going to be a longer rebuild. Frankly, nothing has gone REALLY right this whole rebuild so far. Berrios? Buxton? even Sano? ugh, not what they need so far.
