    This. Agreed, should have been more clear on my post.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Or, you could read the other thread where we are all complimenting Ryan for this......

    They are the Twins in 2 years.....right? If they are willing to sign a legit FA hitter next year, I think KC, I think. Depends on their willingness to sign a FA or two. I expect their hitters to hit better. Their starting pitching could be a bit worse, and still be good. I don't know their minors enough to know if they have help coming or not. This is harder than I thought. If I thought the current regime would sign legit FAs in MN, I might go MN......

    What I'd dream of: Albers as a number legit number 2 or even 3 What I'd realistically like to see....Albers as a number 4/5 type starter. What I expect to see: Albers bopping between Rochester and MN to cover for injuries and bad performances.

    KLAW does not like that, for sure. He believes college players should not be playing against EST and appy league and younger, inferior, players. The Twins have largely disagreed with that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Wow, they got a player. That is a great trade by Ryan. Really.
  7. Mike Sixel
    That was my first option, before I mistakenly said Cubs.....I think the Yankees are a possibility, if they aren't worried about budget. Imagine if the Marlins did it, and signed Stanton....what would that do to ticket sales?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Fair, CMAT, we just don't know, usually, what was offered.....but I'd bet my salary vs my son's allowance the Twins don't often outbid other teams for expensive FAs.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    There are clearly exceptions, but let's not lose sight of the question.....If the Twins offered $10MM more than anyone else (for example), will he turn that down? It's not about the edge case, its about the odds......odds are, that if you offer more money, the person will accept it. No guarantee....but increased odds.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I think there is a strategy, I don't think it is being executed well right now. I don't claim to know the strategy, but whatever it is, it is not being done well.
  11. Mike Sixel
    There are entire threads about Garza and Harper and others with attitudes on this site. I'm just surprised, that's all.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I love teh attitude, I'm surprised how many others do...
  13. Mike Sixel
    He and his wife choose to live here, and are active in the community. Oh, and he was a great player. He's very Koskie like, imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Ha, clearly mine was posted first.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    So a national site, that specializes in using stats to analyze the game, writes a story for the entire nation, and people think this is bad? Like, all the fans out there pay attn to the Twins like the people on this site? I don't get the criticism, this is what Fangraphs does. It looks at the stats that are extreme, or that drive results.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Or, even if the guy does not help them win more, they can trade him for prospects....worked for the Cubs this year. It's like buying prospects....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I wish he could get a ring, one of my favorite Twins ever.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Right, John. Great at filling in when they had no talent, but when Rich Becker and Jason Tyner are your DH on a great team.....well.....I'm 100% with John on this one.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I cannot figure out how to respond to this w/o being negative......any advice anyone?
  20. Mike Sixel
    And? They lose more than $20MM in payroll this year, and get $25MM more in revenue starting next year. They could sign $45MM in free agents, and not impact their cost structure at all.........
  21. Mike Sixel
    That's kind of what I was trying to say, without being negative....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Good point, jim. I forgot about that....
  23. Mike Sixel
    So what? Make the team better, that should be the goal. Even adding 1 player makes it better, especially if even 1 minor leaguer is good next year at the MLB level....I don't get this theory that you should not increment unless you can be a "winner".
  24. Mike Sixel
    Bah, if they offer a huge amount of money, he'll come here. I'd guess the Cubs will continue to dominate the season, wtih the best GM in baseball, and will sign him.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Three years? ugh. Rosario will be ready sometime next year.....it's nice they have this potential problem. But I'd like to see a bit more sustained success from Dozier before I gave up on one of the top 50 prospects in all of baseball being likely to be better than him.....
