    I like this list a lot (well, you know what I mean)..... All of those were big in 2015, and some are HUGE for 2016 and beyond. I do agree, May to the bullpen is near/in the top 5 bottom things for me also. I get where people don't agree, but it's how I feel.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They've made odd decisions, imo, in the past. I really don't know what to expect.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Lots of good soups are served cold......gazpacho, for example.

    The Twins signed Morris to the largest FA contract ever, at the time, and won the WS. The Twins signed several players in 91 to go for it.......that was in the dome, right? There will always be an excuse, but in 17 years, TR has never done it. Never. That might or might not change in the future, but let's at least admit that it has never happened.

    I'm 51. I do look a bit younger than that......but somehow I got carded last night at Redstone (that's sort of about food). First time in a decade I'd guess.
  6. Mike Sixel
    But that wasn't your point......I was talking about success being about 162 games, not the playoffs. No place was I talking about best approaches or windows......but good point on other teams and their records, my brain farted there...
  7. Mike Sixel
    Going out for work dinner tonight.....we'll see if the place has baklava or not. Frankly, the upcoming days look pretty lame for the most part.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    WS is a crap shoot....Toronto was the best team in baseball last year. 162 games shows who is best, WS/playoffs is for entertainment purposes.

    But the article doesn't say "only ISIS thinks this", it says it is THE logical conclusion of Islam. If it ONLY said "ISIS thinks this", well, then it might not be fear mongering of all of Islam.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree, May will be in the bullpen w/o major changes to the roster. I don't agree that he wouldn't be one of the five best starters next year. By the logic of "he wasn't great his rookie year, therefore he's not good", Gibson would not be on this roster right now. And Viola would never have made it. Sometimes guys get better, I think May is one of those guys.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I agree with the OP, if the Twins keep some of those guys in AAA for half the year, that team could win the AAA crown.
  12. Mike Sixel
    disagree.....180 innings vs 60 innings....not even an argument imo. Should Kershaw move to the bullpen? May is one of their 5 best pitchers, imo, and should be a starter. He won't be......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why not put Nolasco in the bullpen instead? Use him in long relief. I'd certainly consider this deal.....I just don't want Buxton and Kepler sitting in AAA while Upton is here though.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well, from the Twins' side, they should keep him as insurance against Park and Mauer (yes, talking about Mauer makes sense, sorry) not playing well. There is no upside to letting him go for a bit of money. None. It would not shock me if Vargas could out OPS Mauer. It wouldn't shock me the other way either. But there is no reason for a team that wants to contend for the next few years to cut a guy with this power, when he has options. For Vargas, it might make a ton of sense to go and make some serious cash.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Wait, short stops who might already be the best SS in the entire game shouldn't be rookie of the year? Is that really what some people are saying?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Uh, I didn't write the other article........and MANY people have decried that article. I was pointing out that that article, according to others, implies things that just aren't true. NOT me, others.
  17. Mike Sixel
    My favorite part of reading the site is the "millions of Americans gather to celebrate....." as if anyone even knows these days exist.
  18. Mike Sixel
    There is a follow up article on another site, can't recall which right now, saying that Atlantic article is horribly wrong.....that many ISLAMIC leaders have said that reading of the Quran is incorrect.....but the article implies that ISIS is the inevitable outcome if Islam. The Atlantic article further implies that ISIS is the real Muslims, and everyone else is a faker....really, that article may or may not describe what ISIS wants, but it's implications about the VAST MAJORITY of Muslims and their leaders is awfully biased.
  19. Mike Sixel
    this was posted, in fairness, before the trade.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    And it didn't matter the previous 4 years....signing an Ace 2 years ago might (maybe) be helping them last year and this coming year.....like I said, it is a different approach. Had they one less FA pitcher last year, maybe Berrios and Duffey are both up.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Those aren't the choices, though, are they? They could sign a FA pitcher, right?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather have Cueto or Price, than both Nolasco and Santana (or Hughes and Santana). I think that's the part I most agree with Dave, and disagree with Ryan on.....I'd rather go for the elite FAs, than 2 good or mediocre ones. It is, however, a different approach, not necessarily a wrong approach. I can disagree with Ryan, and acknowledge his approach is different, but not necessarily wrong/bad/evil....
  23. Mike Sixel
    We'll be skipping today: National Button day National Fast Food Day = aka, how we helped kill the world day
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm done. You aren't even listening. I have clearly stated our interest....you don't agree, fine. But you aren't even trying to further a conversation at all.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say it was why we ARE interested, I said it is why we SHOULD be interested. Borders are fake lines drawn on pieces of paper (or computers). If life is so damn sacred, why are US lives sacred, and Syrian lives and African lives not? No way we can solve all the world's problems or police everything, but I was asked why we should care.....IMO, we should care because innocent people are being raped, enslaved, and slaughtered.
