    That seems unlikely. You think most teams would wait three years before a guy is good again?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that about money though? What else would it be, but money?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Naked juice, green, is yummy. the best of the nakeds......

    I have never claimed they should not make money. I don't know if anyone here has, but they might have.I would prefer that sports not be subsidized any more. I have claimed that in selling the stadium, they made certain "promises" about payroll that I do not believe have been met. I could be wrong about that, we don't have their internal numbers, but from public numbers, they seem to be short on payroll. They have said they go year to year, so that money has been "pocketed" by the owners, or otherwise spent on the team, but NOT to make the team better during those lighter payroll years. As a FAN (short for fanatic, someone that IRRATIONALLY cares about something that should not matter at all), that bothers me. If it doesn't bother you, that's fine with me. I'm not trying to change your mind (other than hoping you'll hop on the "no more subsidies" bandwagon).

    RF....why move Rosario?
  6. Mike Sixel
    good points.

    If he spends 6 weeks in AAA, it will be hard to get over 1.5 dWAR, imo. I do agree, and I think I have commented on other threads so I apologize if I am repeating myself..... Esco for Santana is a 3.5-4+ increase in WAR Murphy will play more, and that would add about .5 WAR I have no idea how Park will do, and I don't trust the RP to put up much value. Take out lucky sequencing in May, and it still looks like an 80-82 win team to me. Edit: Even w/o Park, only 4 teams have more DH WAR projected on FG......

    I would have preferred more concentrated spending on an elite pitcher, than on 3-4 mediocre pitchers (like last year).......but it is true, they have spent more money.

    Mauer is a great athlete, people should have been cheer leading for him.
  10. Mike Sixel
    If you never "have anyone worth signing", it is pretty easy to have a philosophy that you only sign your own guys. It helps the budget a lot.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I was espousing what the Twins would do, not what I'd do......
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's an easy philosophy to want to follow, if you never have to do it......
  13. Mike Sixel
    so there just wasn't one good player available this year that could help them?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Like Torii Hunter or Johan Santana? Really, Mauer is it, right? In their whole history, who have they signed to a 5-7 year deal for elite money?
  15. Mike Sixel
    If you won't do the years, you might as well not spend money, because it takes years to get great players. there is always a rational reason for not spending money (just as there are rational reasons to spend money). Just once I'd like them to go for it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Don't worry Vanimal, next year is the year they'll spend money (on the worst FA class in years).....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I can't see any way they aren't making tens of millions every year right now. I have no issue with that, other than we subsidize the heck out of them and their millionaire employees.

    Maybe I'll bake some peanut butter cookies, send the ones with Chocolate to the younger, and the ones w/o to the older (who does not eat chocolate.....oddly). Of course, since I'm also giving up sugar and flour for a bit.....baking might not be my thing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    What? I missed peanut butter day? Dang. That is my oldest son's favorite food (of course, he's at college, so it's not like we could have partied together). Well, as of today I have (temporarily) given up coffee.....so I guess I'm not in on that one.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Taylor Rogers. Phew, that was hard.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Here's a list of people saying to make a deal, just to make a deal:
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, there are a few articles on Fangraphs explaining why it is generally advantageous for the player, not for the team, to have opt outs.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think Rosario can be a legit MLB OF. As for sophomore slumps, that is a stupid article (and it admits so), since it looks at rookies of the year. Those performances are, as the article states, already outliers. What I'd like is an actual study that looks at every rookie, and see how they do the 2nd year. That would be a meaningful study.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Who just got demoted from AAA to AA in this deal? Who just moved to A+ in this deal?
  25. Mike Sixel
    He's one of us! Though why anyone cares about that, I have no idea.
