    I think jharaldson makes a good point, if they could afford the draftee signings, why couldn't that money have been applied to international FAs or even US FAs? They clearly had the baseball budget....

    Nice. Very nicely written.

    My distaste for some of the Twins' approach aside..... I am super pleased and amazed that the Twins are willing to support Twins Daily this way. It says a lot about their willingness to support fans. I am really impressed with what you have pulled off here.

    What does "takes full responsibility" mean? Nothing has changed, so who cares if he says that he takes full responsibility. That is as useful as me saying it. Until things change, it's all just words without meaning. So, what has changed? And adding one more bench coach, since coaching doesn't matter according to many of the most respected people on this board (and even Ryan sort of says that, it is about talent), isn't much of a change. And, if it does have a big effect, doesn't that imply that the other coaches are not good at their jobs, and should not have them?

    Must not include international free agents then.....since Cespedes signed for $33MM
  6. Mike Sixel
    Holy cow, that is a lot of money for a guy that has not been good lately. Holy cow.

    This team might finish with 1 win but it has more talent than other teams I have watched in some 40 years of watching....

    Having spent a lot of time with people from Latin America, speaking spanish, and relating on a cultural level are two very different things. I have nothing against Molitor being added, but someone that can relate better to people in their culture would have been nice, imo. Not sure I really care one way or the other. I'm fascinated that people care so much. When some of us question the current coaches, and the "growth" of the players, we are told major league coaches don't matter all that much. I am much more interested in what players they add, than adding a coach. Does no one else see this as a PR move? I do.

    I agree, I don't see SF offering the QO. I also agree, giving up a pick will reduce the demand significantly.

    Wow, Cuba was fourth? I would not have guessed that in a million years* *actually, given a million years, I may have got that correct.....

    I'm with Seth on the success of college players in the appy league....doesn't mean much. Seth, thanks, as always, for your work. Really enjoy it.

    I agree, Tanaka is a pipe dream at this point. The posting fee does not count against the soft cap, so why would we expect not to be outbid? I've stopped even considering him an option in my hopes for the offseason.

    If Rodon got hurt, and dropped, would you take him? Say, tommy john hurt?
  14. Mike Sixel
    That's correct, there are zero players in their prime that need to be locked up. That is the problem with this team.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'd be up for Ubaldo also.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ya, not sure how anyone can claim Boston is not reliant on some stars. Agreed, their depth is very good, but that might have something to do with spending in the top 5 in baseball.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    The fangraphs article on crowd sourcing Harens contract is instructive.....IMO.
  18. Mike Sixel
    No other changes? No, the offense would still need help with that rotation, imo. They will be basically a black hole at SS, CF, 3B, and DH if nothing changes on offense. I'd rather they sign Lincecum than Haren. I am not a Haren believer, frankly. I'd be ok with Nolasco.
  19. Mike Sixel
    If they are going to sign a guy coming off injury, as a lottery ticket, I'd rather they go with someone that has already been good in the MLB, like Lincecum or someone else.
  20. Mike Sixel
    No way they deal him now. Maybe stop switch hitting......that would be as good as a trade.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for coming by, john. Love your work.
  22. Mike Sixel
    They are allowed to fix one problem at a time. Not one signing will solve all their problems. Signing no one, otoh, will solve zero problems. Let us hope he is only a AAAA player, and not good.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Some teams take short cuts to winning, like signing reall good free agents. Others do it the only right way. /s
  24. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope Doumit does.....

    I like Sickels' site a lot. Great site.
