    Willingham for three years, Doumit twice, Pelfrey twice.....explain Pelfrey or Bartlett or Kubel, how do any of those indicate giving youth a chance? Or Matty G instead of one of many minor league RP? Explain how clogging your forty and twenty five man rosters with guys with no options helps to let you send guys down and up?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Why wait? If they lose out on trade possibilities because of some silly deadline they self impose, that would be bad management.....which would not surprise me after the last two offseasons.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Remember earlier this year when people were mocking the Yankees and praising the Twins.......remember when people thought signing Nolasco was a good move?
  4. Mike Sixel
    If you have the money, and you care more about winning than adding to your billionaire pile of money, how is the Yankee strategy bad, as it relates to money? They will still sign free agent major league players. The money is not an issue for them. Who here has once said we think these guys usually work out? No one has. The question is, do higher ranked guys work out more often than low ones.......and as I said, I don't think that data is out there yet.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Back on the field playing? Or back on the field practicing ?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ya, no sense in getting better year over year, and getting to competitiveness faster. Add one player a year, then maybe ma ke trades....the anti MN wild plan.
  7. Mike Sixel
    How are those three doing this year?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not so sure......they seemed to not act that way to me this year, but maybe signing Bartlett and Kubel was part of a rebuild effort somehow.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It would be nice if the Twins committed to A strategy. Rebuild, or seriously try to win.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Corner OF and DH. They are void of those, or they would be up here already.
  11. Mike Sixel
    They is no reason to keep Perkins at this stage. This team is bad. They need players that will be here in 3 years.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Players are not stocks because you can only have 25. Every bad player makes it so there is not room for good players. We have seen that roster crunch here for several years now. It is also not the FO job to try to be better, it is their job to bio better. Making failed offers does nothing to help this team. Adding good players to the MLB roster does.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Um, rebuild do not feature 35 year olds......they need to rebuild.
  14. Mike Sixel
    A team with limited budget going all in......I love the way the As roll.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If he is your big move......that is a problem, as Brock said. That is my issue, aiming low.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Brock, people have been typing "they won't keep him down much longer" for several weeks now.....maybe some of us are just tired of watching bad MLB players, and would like something come up from the minors before we die.* *obvious hyperbole

    Loved the first Covenant series, meh on the second, have not read the last ones yet. And loved Thieves World also, keep meaning to re-read that.
  18. Mike Sixel
    this, is, when I say ready, I mean close to ready, but up for the next challenge
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not everyone feels that way, btw. some of us do not care if people took steroids at all, and feel they did not cheat, since, you know, there were no rules against it, just like guys that took speed or chew or whatever in the 50s-70s.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    BTW, I do agree the rules are poorly implemented. More importanty to a Twins fan, I like that they knew who they wanted, and appear to have gotten at least some of them.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Over the next few months, Wizards of the coast is launching free dungeons and dragons on their site. This will be known as Basic D&D. Today, they posted over 100 pages of free rules for the new version. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/basicrules
  22. Mike Sixel
    Talk about whomever you want.....if people want to know about one person, they can to to the adopt a prospect pages, or to milb.com or whatever. That said, I would like more updates on "key" prospects every day....so, everyday, I'd like to know how Rosario or Pinto did, for example, in these writeups. that said, that's just what I want, others may not, and the authors aren't exactly compensated for this work, so they should do what they want.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why do people keep saying cheating? They are playing by the rules as written. I'm confused by your last statement.....if rankings are so unpredicatable, how will this change the competitive balance? And, the draft is awful for players. Awful. It suppresses their income. It might or might not be good for teams.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that what I said? It is that no one is ready....that's the disappointing part. I think I said that like 3 times in this thread.
  25. Mike Sixel
    None of these are loopholes, they are the rules.
