    Well, they would have to nicely ask Joe first.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Melky Cabrera is realistic for this budget. Tomas is realistic for this budget. Nothing is unrealistic about either, unless you accept that the Twins should continue to pocket money, and not improve the team. Or, how about trading the future that might not ever come (remember when people didn't want to deal Hicks for Cliff Lee?), and trade for guys? If you have the deepest system EVAR, you can actually trade some guys to get better.

    It also isn't filled with young guys with huge upside. It is a meh team, for me anyway.
  4. Mike Sixel
    What would it hurt to sign a guy that will actually play in the majors next year, and be good at it? I fail to see how that is an issue for this collection of talent.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Just. Wow.
  6. Mike Sixel
    They've tried, and not found out how yet. of course, just a few years ago, people couldn't figure out how to make a car drive itself, doesn't mean we should give up hope.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Or maybe Gibson is better this year because he was promoted last year.....that is the position most of us are taking, I believe. These are the same people that signed Kubel and Bartlett, and started Hicks again, right? It is not like they are never wrong.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Knowing something exists, and being willing to evolve yourself through its use are two different things.

    I would rather they acquire talent than sit on piles of money. Is that an unreasonable stance for a fan to take? They did not need the Cuban last year...that was the message we got.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Shocking they did not sign him here. Just not enough money to sign a single Cuban the last 4 or 5 years I guess, what with all the high priced talent they already have....
  11. Mike Sixel
    If only there was a role called "coach" allowed in MLB, they could actually coach the players on how to do their job better......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Still, annoyingly, blocked at my work....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I liked the signing, and like it even more now. he's been very good.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Given how people here feel about WAR, not sure how they feel about this analysis......since, it is based on WAR and value of a win.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    It is a tough call......imagine if they had Bryant right now, instead of Stewart.....while I love Stewart, Bryant is a much more sure thing to be at least above average, if not great.....OTOH, Mike Wants Wins......even in a meaningless season.....so, in some ways, we serious fans win either way, but at some point, they gotta win....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Great writeup, thanks! this continues to be the best part of Twins daily......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, my brain was not working yesterday, that is the concept I was trying so hard to reference......btw, I kind of miss the weeping angels. I told my wife last weekend if we ever bought another house, I'd want at least one weeping angel in the backyard. She found it odd I'd want to constantly challenge myself not to be freaked out......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm trying really, really hard to not take that TR statement as some kind of actual requirement.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Imagine trying to make decisions on how to change a car based on statistics, if we were so unwilling to accept standard deviation and margin of error and all the many other things people are saying here about statistics in general (since the argument is that if you aren't sure a stat is "true", it isn't usable).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Isn't this like the Madden curse? It is hard to believe that it is a requirement the GM see a player at a level before that guy can be promoted.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I like wins! Nice job all around, it reads like.
  22. Mike Sixel
    4 more years! 4 more years!
  23. Mike Sixel
    It does seem to me that people are over estimating this team. I keep seeing stuff like "we only have a hole or two to fill", which seems off to me, given how bad they are. Or "the pitching is much better", even though they have given up the same number of runs as last year at this time....... I have no issue realizing this is still bad baseball.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Melky Cabrera, Aaron Hicks at backup. Or maybe sign the Cuban, Thomas. I am baffled people are mentioning Cuddeyer, he cannot field, stay healthy, or hit.
  25. Mike Sixel
    People do understand that most statistics come with error bars and ranges, right? Most statistics used in the world to do compkex analysis are estimates.
