    I could swear we had this discussion last year......
  2. Mike Sixel
    I understand it is not simple.....I don't understand not spending it all. Their strategy is to build through development, they should be the BEST at that, and not finding a way to spend their full allotment probably isn't being the BEST. I have also read they'll be blowing past their budget. If true, they should be signing lots of guys, not just one, since they won't be able to sign many/any the following year (if the rules don't change).

    How much room did the Twins not use? They left enough money on the table to sign one more top 20 guy, I think.....why would you do that, for that little money?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I hold out an irrational hope that this year, it is only mid-May......
  5. Mike Sixel
    My thoughts exactly........6-10 starts, probably closer to 10.....

    Comment From Abe Froman Given the weak draft class, how much do you think Aiken's TJS hurts him? Chance he falls to the Cubs at 9? Kiley McDaniel I think he'll drop even further than that, if I had to guess. via·less than a minute ago

    I am very glad they moved Santana back to SS.......that's his best chance to be a long term Twin, imo.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I do appreciate passion.....there may be other ways to say it, but I have no real issue with it. Just not how I'd do it, even with passion.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I prefer the 1 year deal for Hunter.....if Arcia could have stayed in RF, that would have been even better, imo. So, ya, if you are choosing between the 2, I think the Twins were correct.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Congrats! Always great to see people be successful.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I understand the move, but IIRC, he did seem to develop more pitches.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I hope your prediction is correct.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I really waffled on this signing.....on top of the Nolasco deal. IT seems that they should be able to void this deal, but apparently, not.
  14. Mike Sixel
    On Hunter, when was he last on a BAD team? I really think he could struggle emotionally on this roster.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I too would keep Kepler in the OF and some 1B right now. I can see how you think what you do, though. And, your arguments have merit, I just have this feeling....that's all it is.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think we should strive to be realistic, neither positive to an extreme, or negative to an extreme.....but I can see where some view that as negativism. I don't know how anyone can look at the last 4 years, and the likely outcomes this year, and say "this FO is awesome at their job" right now. But, I'm willing to engage in that conversation and am open to changing my mind.....or not. To me, this site is about discussion, not about argument. when the Twins actually give me something to be excited about (the Twins, not one player or two, I no longer root for individuals, since they are both virtuous and flawed (see AP or Santana)), then I'll be excited about the Twins again.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I still see Kepler as your 1B/DH of the future.....assuming he's ever healthy and channels his power better. That's a great bullpen, can't wait to see them up here in 3-15 months. I'm impressed at the speed they are moving the bullpen (and Turner). Overall, this team could get Twins' fans excited again, in 3-15 months.

    Uh, do you know anything about insurance prices, how fast they were rising before ACA, and how fast they have risen since? Or, are you just spouting stuff? because, I can tell you (working in insurance, this is my opinion, not necessarily my company's*), that ACA has not cause insurance to be less competitive, just the opposite, in fact. *I'm required to type something like that.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Such a great leader. He is supposedly partly here for his leadership, I think we are going to be talking a lot about it, since he isn't used to losing.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Burdi to AA......good for the Twins.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Mid May.....they just aren't making a change before that, imo. MAYBE if Pelfrey is terrible and May is awesome for 4-5 starts, but I doubt it. It isn't their style to cut bait on legit MLB players (i.e., not Kubel/Bartlett level) in less than a month.
  22. Mike Sixel
    In a year, you'll be happy they did it, rather than sit on him in a 90 loss season......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Go Twins!
  24. Mike Sixel
    chew? ugh, so stupid. Just, stupid.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think all drugs should be not banned........someday we'll take something like HGH to live healthier longer, and people will just laugh that we used to ban stuff that actually helps athletes recover and be healthy (or even get an edge).
