    Or, they could choose to fill even 1 hole......
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd trade May in a deal for a proven player.......high upside, but very low floor also. Not sure I believe I just typed that.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    This. Sign one good FA a year (until you don't need to, or cannot afford to)....because it's hard to sign three good ones in one year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Sound logic, frankly. Not certain I agree, but there is a strong argument to be made you are right. I don't know, for the top guys, how well the scouts "know" they are the top guys.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I'd trade the entire Twins organization for a real, live, dragon.

    I have NEVER said that, never, ever, never. Not sure why anyone would think that that has been here for a long time and read my posts. My point was that people here were typing that the Dodgers proved you can't buy wins, well, turns out if you do it well (Yankees for most of the last 20 years, and this year the Dodgers) you can do it. As for the Angels, I never said it always worked. I said, clearly, that the Dodgers show that it CAN work, not that it will work.
  7. Mike Sixel
    BTW, just noticed the Dodgers are AWESOME this year....so ya, you can buy wins. Just ask the Yankees, who have been great for over a decade, mostly through purchases of players. Remember when people typed, just a month ago, that the Dodgers "prove" you can't buy wins?
  8. Mike Sixel
    I guess the better question would be: is it better to sign a guy you pretty much know will stink, or a guy that might regain his old form? Or maybe they should just roll with the rotation they used this year, because May and Meyer are not ready.
  9. Mike Sixel
    How about 1? Is it reasonable for us to ask for 1 top free agent SP?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I still think they should abandon the "starter" model completely (other than Deduno and one other player, pick one). That is a market inefficiency that if you intentionall try it (not like teams in the past that tired it because their real plan did not work), that would work.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Does anyone else have a word they always mis-type? I almost always type "the" as "teh". Anyone else have this issue?
  12. Mike Sixel
    May? I can't see that, not to MN, assuming you mean the pitcher and not someone I'm not thinking of right now.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Great post AROG, and yes, that's what I'm saying. I have no doubt they'll spend all the money.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If you like Clete, you may as well option Mastro to Rochester.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Hard to say, but he's in the conversation for number 1. That's the part that I like. It's nice to have this "problem", of having to decide which is better, than some other problems.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Wait, you think KC is helping the revenue stream? I cannot buy that one. I agree with much of what you type, but no way KC is helping the revenue stream.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't see anyone upset at all, maybe ThePuck is, not sure. I'm not upset, I'm withholding judgement on how good it is for FANS until we see what happens. I get it, some people don't care that the Twins are not doing everything they can to turn over every stone to get lucky and find a players. Others would like the Twins to concentrate more on that than on money, but reasonable people can disagree. We can wish they had done something different, without being upset. Like I've said, great job getting something for a guy they were not using. Whether that something is good for US, we'll just wait and see.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They have plenty of money and flexibility in payroll. Again, nice to dream. Loved Winston's post.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    As much as I hate the signing........and feel like adding bad/medicore players leads to bad results...... He's probably better than Worley and Diamond and most other choices right now. That is how bad this pitching staff is.....he's better than most every other option not named Deduno on this 40 man roster. That said, I want Hendiks up here, now, pitching every week. Fish. Or. Cut. Bait. There is no reason for KC to pitch instead of Hendriks right now, IMO.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well stated, MLR, not sure I agree with the Twins, but you capture the debate well.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The difference, Dave, is taht Stanton has already proved it at the MLB level, and Sano is in AA......so there is real risk there. That said, I expect Sano to be very, very good.
  22. Mike Sixel
    It can be a good trade for the Twins (money saving, maybe even getting cash), while still being a bad trade for the fans (better they put in money, and get a lotter ticket of a minor leaguer). It does the fans no good for the team to have more cash, unless the team spends it. So, ya, it can be a good trade for the team, but not helpful to the fans. I congratulate Ryan for getting anyone to take Carroll, and for getting whatever he can. Good business move, we'll find out later if it was a good move for fans or not.
  23. Mike Sixel
    We can always dream.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Seemed like a real class act to me. Never complained about younger guys taking his spots. Seemed to work hard. An easy guy to root for, frankly. But, given they have other vets to mentor the youth, it was probably time for him to move on. I hope he has a great reast of season.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Great start, good thing Seth did not bet me.....
