    130K over 4-6 years.....good luck living on that.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Yes, they have a potential winner......
  3. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Well, it would save me a lot of time and angst if I never watched or listened to baseball again......so there's that in his "plan". There are GMs who agree, that a team using brains to (in their opinion) increase their odds of winning is wrong. So. Sad.

    About 5-10 years late, but better now than never I guess....... and yes, Nick, I had that same "now they can keep it all white!" thought when I read this. But then I decided, "hey, at least they are trying, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here"......but since you brought it up, I wanted you to know you are not alone out there in the wilderness.....

    Sigh. Signing Pelfrey for 2 years remains a mind boggling decision. I know others don't agree, but if you could see my brain, you'd see it boggle every time I think of this decision. You are lucky if your's does not do that, frankly.
  6. Mike Sixel
    good point on Opening day.....good point.
  7. Mike Sixel
    No way they burn service time for a one month peak at those guys. They are up earlier, or not at all.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Probably the same number Meyer thinks are better than him......
  9. Mike Sixel
    But his goal is to be in the rotation out of spring, and to be up here most/all of the year......how does anyone see that happening?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Not sure what that has to do with his goals for next year......which is what I was talking about.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He's about 5th in line though....so it will be very hard to do this year. I hope he's not setting himself up for disappointment. He certainly looks like he'll be successful, but right now, there are a lot of bodies between him and MN.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Like tracking "best shape of my life" on Hardballtalk.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Like I said, put him in the pen full time, he's probably about 10x better than the other options not named Perkins.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Sign him, fast, while he thinks he has no value! I hope this puts to rest the idea he can be a MLB starter. Reliever, maybe......
  15. Mike Sixel
    I mostly agree with Seth's long post.....but for the part about pitchers and arm injuries, and coming up sooner rather than later in the process. I'm sure there is a study someplace about age and success and predictability (not certainty).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Milone seems like a great guy to have in AAA, ready for a spot start, and if May and Meyer fail. I think May should get the first shot. He showed great improvement last year, and he's a legit prospect. Give him a real shot.
  17. Mike Sixel
    ELITE players are in the majors by 21 or 22, for a LONG time now. I think Fangraphs had an article on when elite players would be up, vs "average" players.....but I can't recall what they said about the minors.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Clearly, to me anyway, I am exaggerating. I think the Twins know more about all of baseball than I do. That does not mean, however, i trust them as much as I'd like in all areas. Defense, lately especially, is one of those areas.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't get why the Twins don't want Rasmus.....given their alternatives.
  20. Mike Sixel
    They might have, but they didn't, and maybe they didn't want to right now. We don't know. Sherzer was willing to sign it, and they took the certainty of that contract rather than the uncertainty of the future.
  21. Mike Sixel
    JJ Hardy sucks at defense, according to the Twins, and Suzuki is really good at it, so you'll forgive me, I hope, if I am skeptical of their ability to judge defense.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Why is Santana not likely to be the SS 5 years from now? I think you are dreaming on the pitching thing, but it's a nice dream.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, there is the certainty of signing Sherzer, vs the uknown of whether or not Boras will have his client re-sign 2 years form now. People undervalue certainty, a lot, around stuff like this. A Lot.
  24. Mike Sixel
    So if three unlikely things happen? You don't KNOW any of those things at the end of spring training, right? I did mention LF as a possible destination......if they think he's Zobrist (which seems unlikely, since he's a bit unique in his actual ability to do all that he does), fine. But how likely is it he's that, vs helpful at one position?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Play for 2015, or play for the future, with Santana? That's really the question, isn't it? Because, by 2016, Buxton s/b your CF. If he's not, something has gone very wrong. So, do you really want to put Santana in CF, and further delay his growth as a SS? I don't think so. I think you want Santana wherever you expect him to be long term. SS, LF, whatever it is, he should be there as much as possible this year imo.
