    If you have a billion a year in tv revenue, what does the money matter? They just showed the $189MM number has no meaning. So, they bought a number 2-4 pitcher. I don't get how that is bad/wrong/evil for them. I bet they go sign another pitcher now too. They have money, they had an open position, they spent money to fill the position. Seems like a good idea to me.

    It's just money. Some teams spend it to win. Others, not so much. Anyone still think Ellsbury's contract will keep them from adding players?

    forgot to mention, I love his work. Really like reading his stuff.

    popriveter....nice post. We disagree on Gibson, but otherwise everything else I agree with. And let's hope we have more Pucketts than Kieltys......
  5. Mike Sixel
    For some reason I'll be tasting beer outside instead......never should have listened to that friend......
  6. Mike Sixel
    Very happy for him. Very good money. Great news for him, I believe.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Or maybe we get news, but don't really consider this news that matters.

    He has Sano and Rosario with 2015 ETAs......I hope he's wrong about Sano. Also, if he's right about Rosario, I hope he doesn't sit around while Dozier is good, but not great. I still think Dozier is dealt, if Rosario looks like a legit 2B at the end of the year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Seth, great series.....thanks.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Rosario back to LF, Buxton in CF, Hicks in RF, Arcia at DH.....your 2015 starting Twins OF/DH rotation. Or, maybe Hicks in LF and Arcia in RF, and ? at DH, with Rosario or Dozier dealt.....

    Ah, so my Puckett memory was not completely off, thanks Seth. Thought I was losing my mind. What is "ready", though, that's the question. Ready to be awesome, or ready to come up and be ok/good, and learn here?
  12. Mike Sixel
    btw, I'm not saying this particual desire of mine is rational......I really am tired of watching a 95 loss team with no real future players on it (or few). I'm ready to watch a 95 loss team with future superstars on it. I get that not everyone feels the same way.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The rush is I don't want to watch crappy ball players anymore. The rush is they are both "in AA" and could be up here. I get it. I should just wait for the future. The rush is that WS team was built by getting guys up here, and playing int he majors for a couple of years before peaking. This staff seems to want them to be peak the day they come up. It doesn't usually work that way. You know with certainty Sano will be up this coming year? I don't know that.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Then why didn't they have a LF or 4th OFer last year that was as good as him?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I was wrong on Puckett, thanks for the correction. For some reason, I thought he was up sooner than that.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ok, insert "Twins GM" there instead. Don't really care who the GM was, whoever it was promoted those guys all up well before they were ready, and gave them time to learn up here.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Wise One, that's fair. I agree, there is definitely space for both sides to be "right" on that trade part, imo.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The Twins should care, but that's not what people are posting.....they are saying they don't think it is worth the money. The Twins can do whatever the heck they want, but why does a fan care if they make huge money, or even huger money? It wasn't "why do the Twins care", it was "why do YOU care" about if a contract is "worth it". Totally different questions.

    Hard to say Nick, if he becomes a closer for a few years, was that worth not having any OFers last year, and maybe only 1 that can play D and hit this year? What about next year? How many years do you lose the trade, to get a "closer" for a few years? Not that I think that is necessarily how it will work out, but right now, would you trade a 3 WAR OFer for a closer?
  21. Mike Sixel
    With all the unspent money since TR came back, they should have around fifty+ million they could give Tanaka in year one......and then what everyone else is bidding in the out years. Anyone think they are buying a player, when one is available? If not, why do you care if they "spend too much" on a player?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, most posters here are saying not to sign Drew or trade for veterans, because they are at least a year away........do you really think this is WS team, as constructed?
  23. Mike Sixel
    If it is a .500 team, why not add Drew and Garza, and get to around 85+ wins, and see if you get lucky?
  24. Mike Sixel
    In yet another lost season, how is Albers even an option with Worley, Gibson, and Deduno on the roster? Mind boggling.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Why do you care about the twins money so much? Why do you care if they spend too much money on Drew, if it does not stop them from signing anyone next year? They lose thirteen million in payroll after this year, they are way under fifty percent, and no one on this roster is due a raise for years. You might argue giving up a second round pick makes no sense, though you would be wrong, but why do you care about the money at all?
