    I'd have no problem spending it on good filler....a decent LFer gets you 1-2 wins, a decent CF gets you 1-2 wins, 2 decent starters get you another 4-6 wins.....you can win (look at Boston and Oakland this year) by just making every position a win or two better.....

    Oh, I like Mauer at 1B, I'm just trying to think more broadly......realisitically? I think Mauer is your 1B/DH next year, and Arcia is your RF, and Dozier is your 2B and then I have no idea of what I like after that.....well, I guess Pinto is your C.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I didn't know he was that short. Hmmmmm......

    AJ, thanks for the kind wishes on the leg.....Tria has been great to me and my son when he broke his arm, I recommend them for sure.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Clearly AJ is also spending time on the internet during his downtime..... AJ, what's it like to read peoples' opinions on line? How do you and your team mates react to stuff on line?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'd still prefer Arcia at 1B/DH, with Mauer at RF/1B/DH, because defense does matter. That said, unless they actually try to win next year, I'd leave Arcia in RF and see what happens. I think he can hit the ball, I'm not sure he can field.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'd cut Doumit, and put Pinto as the starter, with whomever as the backup and Mauer at 1B or maybe RF with Arcia at 1B.

    Always good news when they add talent. Let's hope these guys are good someday.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Great article. I just had a similar thing with a broken leg. Wifes that are awesome are the best thing in the world.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Pravda

    The human element should be about the players and coaches....not the umpires, imo. I don't get why people like bad calls, can someone explain how having bad calls and calls favor one team is good for the game?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Great post.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Well, Hicks was historically bad, and not great on defense. Would it be unreasonable for us not to expect one of the worst hitters ever? Gibson? I think it is reasonable to expect him not to post an ERA that gets him sent to AAA again, given his age and pedigree.
  14. Mike Sixel
    no, the competition is not fair. If Tom Glavine gets pitches called strikes the opponents don't, that is not fair. If certain hitters get more calls in their favor than others, that is not fair. Should a better chess player get to move his pieces differently? Should a great tennis player get balls called in that are out? Should a great basketball player get to push off (Jordan) and foul other players and not have a foul called? No, no, no. The rules should be enforced the same for everyone.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Everyone should play by the same rules, human umpires destroy a chance at a fair competition.
  16. Mike Sixel
    No matter what, TR can't assume he's a starter next year. He has to assume he gets nothing from Liam, and be happy if he does somehw. count me in the shocked how bad he's been again this year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Only stubbronness is keeping robots out, no reason to keep humans calling balls and strikes.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Didn't we have this same conversation a year ago? What is different this time? Well, other than we are pretty sure Hendriks is a AAAA pitcher?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, several scouts were still impressed....but it was an interesting article.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well written and entertaining....thanks Seth.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Actually, they signed a lot of FAs and traded a prospect for a pitcher, both things the Twins could do this offseason. The only reason the Twins payroll is close is Mauer......People really need to stop looking at the total payroll, and look at what the Twins are spending on 24 of the 25 people. Sano, not out of nowhere, 2-4 wins better than Plouffe Gibson not being AWFUL, 1-4 wins there Ellsbury in CF, then LF when Buxton is up, 3-5 wins more than Hicks this year Acria and Dozier good for the whole year, 2-5 wins Sign one legit FA pitcher, 2-5 wins Not really that hard, frankly, it does require money, and it requires three players to be better than this year (or at least good for longer).
  22. Mike Sixel
    The Cleveland team won less than 70 games last year, and might make the wild card this year, and yet people keep saying the Twins should punt again next year.....I don't get it.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Oakland signed a Cuban FA for real money....even they have done it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Great first post! I've never understood why it isn't "eat your cake, and have it too".....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, it is about a lot of things working together strategically. Pitching, fielding, FO, coaches, statisticians, everyone.......I don't get that feeling in MN at all, but for all we know they are acting this way, and it just isn't working.
