    Mike saying "no way Santana is that good this year"......
  2. Mike Sixel
    What should the owners do with the money, birdwatcher?
  3. Mike Sixel
    I don't think Hicks will maintain that OBP, but if he does, I agree, put him at 9 or 1.
  4. Mike Sixel
    How about every team put 70% of their income in a pool? Big markets keep some advantage, but not as large a one as they have now.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'd say it is reasonable.....if harper or strasburg had been on the open market, they would have received around $50MM I'd guess, so with inflation, sure, I can see that price tag. These teams (not the Twins) with big cable deals are literally swimming in money. Why not use it to buy good players (prospects)?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ha, nice cross post!
  7. Mike Sixel
    In retrospect, I somehow forgot Plouffe. Plouffe should probably be 6th or 5th or maybe 4th.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Well, I would have been wrong on that bet....... I don't get what they Yankees did there. They have enough money, a bad farm system, and were already over the max. I also thought the Dodgers might go in on this one.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Santana Mauer Dozier Hunter (i anticipate a higher OBP for him than the remaining players) Arcia Vargas who cares after that?
  10. Mike Sixel
    This is why you don't count the future as much as the present, it isn't as well known.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Metrics =/= 100% accurate, ergo, metrics are bad/evil/wrong......ugh. It's almost like people don't realize that's how all statistics that are predictive work, all of them. Including all the ones about medicine, and flight, and computers, and pretty much everything you use in your life.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why do they have to land one every year? Are the Twins going to have to sign two (assuming all three Twins' pitchers are that good)? Do you need to sign 5 number 1/2s? The extremity of the argument being made seems a bit unrealistic to me.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree with Levi, I don't get how complimenting one team is ripping on another team. I also don't get all the angst over "only" being 2nd.......or whatever rank you put them.
  14. Mike Sixel
    This is an amazing amount of work Kiley and team have done. It is a great resource, made even greater by its free price. if you like prospect talk, and don't read Kiley and his chats every week, you should, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure they've "been in on" or "watched" or whatever every Cuban according to Wolfson. Until they sign one, not sure why we should care.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Chicago scares me,
  17. Mike Sixel
    No one ever seems to assume the other teams improved and added new players too......just how much better the Twins are. If you think they should be ranked 15th, which 12 teams do you think they are better than the the writer or zips? They still look like the worst team in the division, though I could seem them third if things break their way. But that's hope, not strategy or analysis.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Maybe he doesn't want to work for a front office anymore? maybe this gives him more freedom? I think judging his opinions based on the fact he decided to switch jobs is, well, not good.
  19. Mike Sixel
    FWIW, Kiley on Fangraphs today said he thinks Meyer is a future closer, not starter.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Law has been very consistent on this, college guys should not go to rookie ball and play against 17 and 18 year olds in his opinion. If they do, you should take their numbers with a grain of salt. Given how often the Twins rookie team dominated, and didn't graduate many MLB players......in the dark years, seems like he has a point. I think people here (even those commenting on this part of the topic) have even made the same point.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Ranking someone one of the top 100 minor leaguers=hating on him? Not sure I agree on that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Once May and Meyer add wins, we can count those. do we also count the negative WAR from Worley as part of the value of Revere?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Who here is arguing anything other than the outcomes? Not an explanation, not an expectation, but whether the outcomes are good?
  24. Mike Sixel
    He clearly hates the Twins /s
  25. Mike Sixel
    I have a hard time ignoring everything but his OBP. That seems like a bad way to build a team. He can't hit MLB pitching. He barely hit minor league pitching. I think Hicks should be in AAA. I think they will start him in CF in MN.
