    TF is an amazing space. Have fun.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I hope it's an injury....those are recoverable imo.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ya, nothing in this thread really does that......

    So, never make a trade, or just in this instance don't make a trade? Signing FAs is filled with busts too. Counting on guys in their mid-30s to be good is filled with bad outcomes too. I'm trying to understand what you are saying. As for the topic in general.......I agree a veteran SP is probably important from a mentoring standpoint. I have no idea if Santana is good at that or not. I don't agree that they should be worried about keeping him to remain in competition. He'll be in in his mid-30s. He's good, but not great (when he's good). You can sign a flyer type to take his place if needed. I probably would not deal him....unless they insist on keeping Nolasco or Milone, in which case I'd deal him to make room and move onto the future. When looking at the equation....people keep asking if his replacement would be as good, without adding in any benefit that might come form whom they acquire.

    You should be able to buy them online from a secondary broker pretty cheaply......I'd suggest that. Day of. If you want to give the Twins money....there should be no issue getting tickets from them day of either. Have fun. Minneapolis is awesome in September.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I have a whole thread where I was ripped for calling them unlucky.......so, ya, barking up the wrong tree.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I hate being right about predicting violence. It is only going to get worse. Sucks
  8. Mike Sixel
    Loving the game thread. Thanks everyone
  9. Mike Sixel
    I love birdwatchers post
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ya. I have been trying to pick a health care reit....if I had just picked one.....oh well
  11. Mike Sixel
    Good point on Sano......which is I am less confident in my prediction than I used to be.
  12. Mike Sixel
    My like is for the post, not the content.....I remember that day. Awful.
  13. Mike Sixel
    That's why I wonder if Apple will/should buy some software companies (say, when the recession happens and prices drop), and diversify into more fields, Brock. Right now, I struggle to see the next iPad, iPhone, iPod like thing they can really cash in on. I agree on watches and on VR. I do wonder if a Nike/Apple deal for shoes and / or clothes makes sense, but I bet Nike would go on their own..... Maybe the they can be the first company to crack the code on holograms or on projecting from your phone, but that's hard to see, or hard to see how they'd keep the grip on technology long.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Ya, this is a bit of a necro thread.....hope to be better about keeping it updated now that it's back.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I also agree they can't tank for 3 years .... that window has passed, mostly because of what Brock states. I think directionally, I agree with your approach. I have to give it more thought, but I like your start a lot. I especially endorse trying May as a SP. Really, if TR did what you lay out, I think I'd be good with that. Except for keeping Danny Santana, not a fan. I'd try something else there. It is possible that I'd even sign a FA corner OF on a 1 year deal, in case Rosario or Grossman (or both) can't hit at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think an earlier article said that......but that was months ago, so I could be remembering wrongly.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I agree.....not sure what they should buy, but there must be some undervalued companies out there they like...... I am considering Ford again....same huge pile of cash, ok dividends, seems to be quite profitable again. That said, I have this recession fear holding me back.
  18. Mike Sixel
    man, you just took out pages of rage.......thank you. I am highly conflicted on this, but I won't judge the Twins too harshly on it.
  19. Mike Sixel
    that has been my prediction for several years.
  20. Mike Sixel
    certainly possible, but we've heard this before, from the FO, that: a: they are waiting for calls b: wait for the other team to have an idea.... If I was the GM, I'd know exactly what I want from TX for Santana, with like 5 options....all on my PC.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Here is what I have told others: If you don't need the money for 10-20 years, why are you nervous about this fall, or Brexit, or even the next 5 years? That said, i understand your anxiety......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Great White Sharks, dude....
  23. Mike Sixel
    UGH....we keep hearing this every year, that they Twins are passive. I don't get it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    KLAW also posted is top 25 under 25 on ESPN..... Kepler, Buxton,Sano made the honorable mention, but NOT in the top 25.
  25. Mike Sixel
