    OF defense.....maybe it does matter?
  2. Mike Sixel
    There is not a rule against going over the cap....going over the cap results in consequences. If you are willing to pay those consequences, how is that breaking a rule?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Uh......why? I used to have old vikings' autographs. Threw them away. I don't get autographs.....

    I didn't say Terry wanted it both ways.....I said people here want it both ways, on whether we should believe what he says in public or not......I did ask for him to sign flyer types the last few years, and elite players the last few years, and to avoid mediocre players. My judgement on a 1 year, 6MM deal is a lot different than on a 4 year, 60MM deal......though even then I think there is room to judge compared to others. Right now, it is hard to give the FO the benefit of the doubt, given the last 4 years, and very likely outcome of this year...... KLAW just answered my question on MEYER: I still believe he has a significant major league future, buy maybe h'll never get that delivery synced up to the point where he can throw consistent strikes.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I agree, they should be up, that's how the Twins will get more information. I thought both should be up last year........and stay up.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I could handle 3-4 walks in 6 innings, if lots of Ks and weak contact were there too.....but 6 walks in 5 innings? that's too many for him to be next in line, imo.
  7. Mike Sixel
    6 in 5.......the number of walks by Meyer in game one, in 5 innings. Sigh.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I find it hard to believe he's "faking it"......I just don't see it. That said, athletes fake injuries ALL THE TIME.....so I could be wrong. But I doubt it.
  9. Mike Sixel
    See, they really only need 4 starters right now.....that's the message from mother nature, since Nick is right, she's not going to cause a reschedule of 60 games......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Clearly mother nature is a baseball fan, and is also waiting for Buxton, Sano, Burdi and others to be up. this should be re-scheduled for early June......
  11. Mike Sixel
    good luck to him. For his sake, I hope he's healthy.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Benching Arcia vs a righty? Uh............not what I would do. Good luck Twins.

    I think Rand just wants to be something.....and is more interested in being elected than really leading a new Libertarian world.....but I could be wrong. I worked tirelessly for the moderate party of the 80s and even sort of early 90s....but once the religious right took hold, and the party decided defunding education and basic infrastructure was cool, I jumped ship. Heck, Pawlenty asked me to move to Minnetonka and they'd make sure I was elected to the House in the early 90s. But man, that party has moved so far from what I believe about freedom and education, I can't see ever going back. To me, the issue with voting Republican for president is that all the really really really bad ideas in the House/Senate might get passed.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    They never had an issue just dropping Nishi from the lineup.......IF Nolasco plays like this for 6 weeks, they better have the same hook for him. I have no issue with the LA comments, if you are from LA, you probably don't want to move to MN all that much either.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I am ok with blocking top prospects, with 1-2 year deals. 4 year deals for mediocre, mid-30s pitchers? Not so much. That's what he did wrong, imo, this year.....unless they now believe May and Meyer aren't all that good, in which case, we should be judging their ability to make trades. I am ok with blocking prospects with short term deals, with deals on upside guys, with guys you might be able to trade......if the prospects work out. I'm not good with signing 3 guys to multiple years that aren't all that good.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Wait, I'm supposed to believe Ryan when he says Buxton will be up soon, but realize he's "not lying, but he sort of is" when he has said the last two years they will be competitive and are not rebuilding? You can't have it both ways.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I still think Buxton is 54 weeks out....why blow his service time in August/Sept of a lost year?
  18. Mike Sixel
    It actually isn't my job to know the answers to bw's questions..... i think Ryan knows all this stuff. I do think he was wrong to sign two mediocre pitchers, I think signing Pelfrey to a 2 year deal is mind boggling, I think having no CF option for three straight years is a strange way to approach one of the more important defensive positions in the entire game. The one where I think legit other options are obvious is the bullpen. Plenty of other teams rush young RP up to the majors, we barely saw any last year. I hope to see about 4 new, young faces, this year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I am still positive....but I refuse to type what I feel positive about right now btw, what, exactly, is wrong with liking unicorns?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Vance Worley?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Still waiting for more chemistry lessons.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Tim Stauffer, your low leverage long reliever......
  23. Mike Sixel
    7..... I actually saw someone with a dog in a park last week that had such a short leash she had to lean over to hold it........the person, not the dog.....I wish TR had a leash that short for the "SP" HE has acquired.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Nolasco>>>>>Simian flu from planet of the Apes, though....so he's got that going for him.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Either Nolasco or who? Sorry, couldn't resist. This, imo, is why you should spend money on Elite players, and not mediocre players......like, would you rather have one great pitcher and some AAA guy, or Nolasco and Santana (pre-roids)?
