    I might vote Libertarian this year. While I don't agree with all their platform......I do agree with much of it.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think everyone agrees with that first paragraph for sure.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Great article on the less glamorous sides of baseball.....and how a guy copes with being cut and moving on.
  4. Mike Sixel
    This was inevitable, when they kept Plouffe and moved Sano after signing a DH...... Now, I wouldn't do it to keep Santana around, but for some reason they are in love with him.
  5. Mike Sixel
    This was a really good article.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    At least he answered yours.......

    Good luck to Mr. Perkins, and hope for a good recovery.

    That took longer than I thought it would. Not a Santana fan at all. He isn't good at one thing, imo. Me? I would have sent Park or Kepler down, and found a way for Arcia to play every day for a month. I don't think he'll be a Twin in 10 days. I do think he'll hit for someone.

    If there were not players to trade during the Smith era....when would those players have been acquired, while Smith was GM, or someone else? The Smith era brought us Sano and Kepler and Polanco, all signed in 1 year when the Twins spent more than other teams, weird that they haven't been aggressive since Smith left..... The Smith era brought us Aaron Hicks (now ...) Kyle Gibson Chris Herrman (now Palka) Brian Dozier Eddie Rosario Frankly, those drafts largely sucked, but the GM doesn't make the picks, and the scouts and staff running the draft were put in place by whom?

    I don't agree that is the theory.....just like I don't agree you should never have a bad contract/deal. I agree with your first paragraph.....I just didn't agree with the thought they'd be there while he was good.
  11. Mike Sixel
    My issue is not trading him a couple years ago.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    He felt he was picked in about the right spot. It isn't just about positional value.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Bummer. Real bummer. Good luck, Mr. Perkins in your recovery.
  14. Mike Sixel
    What if he comes back and is bad again, like he has been in the past? Of course if he comes back and is good, that's good......but is that likely? Really likely?
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't share everyone's confidence in Duffey .....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think it is a bit early to say that about Berrios......very early. And probably wrong.
  17. Mike Sixel
    KLAW stated today his he thinks his upside is above average RF with power.

    I'm going to comment on the Tulo trade: 1. They got rid of Reyes' deal .... so the money isn't that bad. 2. They could have kept Reyes, who is even worse than Tulo...would the Jays have been the best team in baseball then? Probably not. How good would they be this year, with no SS? Probably not real good. 3. They were the best team in baseball last year. I guess I'd rather the team add players when they think they have a chance, get some great success, and then have a bad contract, than to have no success but not have bad contracts. The goal isn't wins/$, the goal is wins. Is Tulo good/great right now? No. Does last year's success count? Does the huge increase in tickets this year help offset that? Baseball, by it's nature, almost requires the occasional bad contract. The question is, did that contract help lead to success during it's term, or was it a bad contract on a bad team?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, that complaint stems not just from the last 5 years.....but from when they were competitive. Once you have a reputation, it is hard to shake it, right or wrong.
  20. Mike Sixel
    What should the worst or second worst team in baseball do with money, if not buy picks?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm told the employee discount store is amazing. Drove past the campus yesterday, they have a huge private wooded park for their employees to walk and run and bike in.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Atlanta is also supposedly ALL IN on international signings this year. The Twins are not so rumored.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I really want to be in a place where I can walk, or bike, or take mass transit. That would require a job change, or something.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Worse than what we are seeing here the last few years? Hard to believe.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Love fudge.....yummy. Next year, I hope, when we live in the city? Next year I'll be working from home or walking or biking. This year? Well, no way I could bike that far. let alone do it at 430 am. Oh, and no shower in the office anymore.... Maybe I'll get that Nike job I applied for, I bet they have showers.
