    I am warming to the signing.....they are definitely not just waiting for the farm to produce.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Guerrero must be a bad defender.
  3. Mike Sixel
    They got rid of Kemp, and added Pederson.....they aren't getting younger at every position in one year......I think they weren't getting rid of any other OFer, so Kemp was the one to go. Maybe they could have done better, but I'm not sure. And, yes, Kendrik is older than Gordon, but he's better too. When he gets too old, they'll just go buy another guy, that's what near infinite revenue does for a front office.

    No, it doesn't mean "must".....it means likely, probably. If you are decent at drafting, and add players in FA, you are probably better than if you don't add players (or let good players walk). I think you are confusing "odds" and probability with certainty.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm neither for nor against this signing. I'm not sure he's all that good, but I am sure he's not bad (probably......). That's a step up. They also spent money to get better now, I like that part. I am a Meyer believer, so I hope they don't just keep waiting for some kind of "perfection" in AAA with him. Frankly, if they aren't bringing up Meyer right away, I'd trade him. May, Milone, Berrios in a few months.....plus others? If you aren't going to use Meyer this year, I'd rather they deal him than wait another year. And yes, I know pitchers get hurt....but they have a few holes to fill yet.
  6. Mike Sixel
    What would you want back in a Meyer trade?
  7. Mike Sixel
    If he's a very good MLB SS......he's worth a lot to most every team, isn't he?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Dodgers are definitely better now, and cheaper.
  9. Mike Sixel
    He is 25.....they have him under control until he is 31 or 32. Maybe they should just have him up, not sitting in AAA.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You think they'll bench Nolasco or Hughes or Santana if they are ineffective? This team didn't do that last year. Swarzak got starts......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Meyer earned a spot by July of last year, we'll just 100% disagree on this one.
  12. Mike Sixel
    How? If you have Santana, and the other four.....you don't have Meyer, right? At least until someone is hurt, or May or Gibson struggles, there would be no Meyer in the rotation, correct?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not sure he'll be as good as Meyer......let alone better.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of what the Marlins are doing. I have no issue trading prospects, but not like this, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Hope they put him in the 'pen, and let him throw hard.......
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't read anyone saying that spending guarantees anything.....I see people suggesting that having a payroll under the median, year after year, while revenues are skyrocketing, right after getting a new stadium (that was sold as a way to stay competitive), all while NOT being competitive, well, that raises a question.....would they be more likely, or less likely to be competitive, if they had a median payroll? How "crippled" would they be right now had they spent on 3-5 year deals 3-5 years ago, for example?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Since TR has never been turned down for money......I think this is about Ryan, not the owners. That's what they all say, every time money comes up.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't know if it's true, but it would not surprise me even a little if it was. Lots of people are unable to give up control when they switch jobs.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They'll pick someone.....2 years from now, no one will care. That's what I expect.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I want Meyer and May in the rotation day 1. IF they Twins still refuse to do that, I hope they sign a good pitcher. I still don't understand the Meyer thing.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    We won't really know until we see if Molitor calls for bunts before the 7th inning, or the team doesn't shift at all, or if they do or don't do other things. As for players, they remind me of some of the Ops people I work with, they just want to keep doing things the way they've always done them, even in the face of evidence they shouldn't/can't. It's up to Molitor to put them in position to change that, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Like I said, every signing so far has been met here with, "that's too much money" or "that's too many years" or "I wouldn't sign that guy he's not good"......well, apparently, a hug number of MLB teams disagree.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It is expensive to sign FAs.........if you are always saying "it is too expensive", you better have a farm system that produces, all the time, or you end up with Jason Tyner as your DH......and 4 or more years of 90+ loss seasons.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I was told repeatedly that no team that lost 90 games would ever go big for a pitcher. Guess that isn't true. Some teams do try to win.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That would require the twins to trade prospects. That would be contrary to waiting. Don't see it happening
