    They won't be good this year, they won't be good next year probably, and even 2017 could be a stretch......so why not trade Dozier? Rosario and Polanco and maybe even Santana are your future 2B......so I'd deal him, since they punted on this year, and I don't see Ryan ever spending on FA to INCREASE payroll signficantly and trying to get better signficantly until Sano, Buxton and others are up and consistently very good....which will be 17 or 18.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I am going to keep making a fuss over Ryan's inability to find a SS, among his many other shortcomings.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I guess, if the thread is about SS.....I don't get why talking about the (lack of andy even marginal) SS in the system is not worth doing. It's not like this is a thread about Mauer, or one of the players "that does matter", as if a MLB should just give away a roster spot.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Teh bummer of the honeymoon is that Meyer, their only "certain" SP that could help this year, is on an innings' limit......
  5. Mike Sixel
    surly is good, but there are better places.....imo. Dangerous Man Indeed (most like Surly better) are two good breweries near each other....
  6. Mike Sixel
    lots of great breweries to visti here in town, if you like craft brew. There is one close to the stadium, I believe.....as for where to stay.....Cheap....Bloomington and light rail. Close....downtown and walk.....best food/local feel, the St. Paul idea above.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Another thread indicates Byron is out until May.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    So a long time veteran can't handle having a rookie behind the plate? Pelfrey is a veteran getting paid millions. His problem isn't Pinto, several years of data indicate that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    This year.....tickets sales are highly correlated with the records of the past, not future hope. Given no ASG next year, and a possible 90+ loss season again, next year could look bad.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Except we have last year, and before he was injured as data also, Dantes929. For many of us, reaction to Pelfrey's starts is not about 2 data points.
  11. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, I hope they win it all, and attendance is awesome.....but since I don't expect that first part......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Yup, cut payroll every single year (they got 25 million more in revenue this year, and added a couple million.....), and get worst every year.....your attendance is going to drop. And it should. I hope it gets worse and worse, attendance wise, frankly.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree, one more year of this before signing. He's not a future all star, gotta keep guy. And, like most Twins lately, didnt' come up young.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    agree with nick. But I think we get some other AAAA guy before either one. And, agreed, no way I would have signed him this offseason, but they did, for two years I believe.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I too think he will be back next year.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think the discussion of how long his leash should be is an interesting one, but I don't expect it to happen in this thread.
  17. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, teh season was called before it began, but the ERA of those pitchers won't be that bad. They might not be good, but they won't be that bad.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Wait until they face Ervin Cy Santana in intergleague, LaBombo.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Was that trolling? Sorry, totally meant to be more orcing.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    "we signed these pitchers so we wouldn't get into a hole right away" looks about as accurate as "we will play meaningful games in September".....I think I typed that yesterday too.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I agree, that is a fundamental point the "two sides" will not agree on...... Nick's question (and my followup) still remain, why do people care what other people think? Why do you (anyone answering here) care what other people think about Joe Mauer? I actually don't care what you all think, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind here. I'm just participating in a conversation, but it seems that some of you care.* *I do have a lot of opinions about Mauer, but it doesn't bother me at all that others disagree, but clearly, the use of "dumb", "silly" and other word indicate that people do care about what others think.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I disagree, chitown.....if you are the FACE of the franchise, and the marketing campaign is built around you, and you are the best player, and, and, and all the things that come with being the highest paid, he does have an obligation to do interviews, and to be accessible. It is part of the job. His job is MORE than hitting/fielding on the field. It just is. He is an entertainer, not just a baseball player.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure it is "silly" or "dumb" or whatever to criticize the ridulous money athletes get. It just comes from a different place than you all who are saying that sit. Because, it might just be silly for an entertainer to get paid this much, and at some point, our society might change that....and look back on this period as oddly as some look back on the past today.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I find it fascinating (and I could be wrong) by how emotional people are in this thread, either way.....why do people care what other people think about Joe Mauer?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I am also still a believer in Wimmers.
