    Not to mention every team gets $25MM in free money next year.....this year's salaries will look like bargains, I'd guess. Also shows that trading Willingham at his peak, or Perkins, or whomever, for younger pitching talent is the way to go. They don't have 5 guys close to MLB ready, let alone 7-8 of them to cover for issues. If they passon FA again next offseason (at least, big time FA), then this team could look a lot like does this year. Really, the only guy I see coming up early next year is Rosario. No one else looks like they will start with the MLB team next year that hasn't already been here. May and Meyer are likely in AAA next year to start the year. And, um, hmmmmmmm. So, if they don't do much in FA, next year looks like this year, I think. At least for the first couple of months. Good luck selling tickets next year.......

    By then I might be mobile again! I'll see what I can do.

    Back to the interview.....not sure how he can praise Pelfrey with a straight face.....not much news here, just him once again saying it is his fault, but that talk is cheap if nothing changes, either him leaving, or him changing his behavior.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Yawn. Would be nice if there were some young players to promote..........something to care about.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I still contend he resigned because he could not stomach spending that much money on Mauer.
  6. Mike Sixel
    It would be a nice change if they dealt a guy at his peak, rather than later.......but I keep plouffe, I think he can be part of the future. Perkins should go. There is plenty of evidence teams can make closers......
  7. Mike Sixel
    why do they have to better this year? The goal is excitement, youth, something to entertain us this year or next. This team is Toast with casual fans right now. And they are doing nothing about it right now.

    Sandberg or the coach from the nationals whose name escapes me.....he was interviewed on fangraphs and sounded like maddon to me. I too think it is time for a new style and voice, very few people can succeed in a sports leadership role forever. It is time IMO.
  9. Mike Sixel
    No reason for him to stay down.....but they are not ready to cut ties with Morneau. At least if he came up and hit, they could, maybe, generate some interest in this team. But, they either do not care about that, or they cannot execute a plan to do so.

    Who cares if baker returns anything, if they can either bring back Garza or deal him. The delta is that the cubs net for guys that had a lot of value if they worked out. That baker did not hurts them none at all. This is play money for these guys.
  11. Mike Sixel
    My comment on the cubs was about their entire approach , not the international part specifically. They know their place, and they followed a strategy to fix things.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I too prefer the cubs approach......but we are not going to get that here, so I will continue to root for the uniform, if not the FO and specific players......one can be a twins fan without being a fan of everything about them......
  13. Mike Sixel
    great article.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Now he wants personalities? Odd, but I agree.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Perkins and KC for Skaggs works for me.
  16. Mike Sixel
    The Mets and Twins Should Remember Joakim Soria | FanGraphs Baseball trade anyone over 29 you get an offer for. And the link reminds us why Perkins should be dealt.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Is the team better? Are you confident they will seriously improve next year? Who that he acquired is going to make a major difference next year? How many awful years are you willing to put up with?
  18. Mike Sixel
    They are likely to lose more than 90 games again. That part is an F to me. Worley and Pelfrey suck. They cannot hit, and are mediocre in the field. They did not commit to either a rebuild or contend plan, in other words, they seem to have no clear strategy. Where there are choices between vets and young players, the vets are playing. As for the trades, I remain hopeful about both May and Meyer, but we will see. As for the minors, the only thing Ryan is doing to really help is making sure they suck, so they get a shot at more elite players, but he does not make the choices. I would give him a c minus, that will be a b plus if one of May, Meyer is legit, and an F if neither are. An A if both are legit starters soon. Admittedly I am posting fom the hospital with a broken leg, so maybe I am taking out my frustration in this post.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    No real shocks here. He is not a good MLB pitcher, Ryan dumpster dived for pitching, the staff is bad, again. If May or Meyer is nor ready, we can watch this unfold for another year next year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    big fan of this post. Platoon Parmelee and colaello, use both at RF, DH, first, and pinch hitter. This Justin is not worth having on a bad team.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Dumpster dive for pitching, get bad pitching....that is Ryan's plan. Not sure why anyone thinks this will ever change.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Bah, sign random dude to play first for a couple of million, then sign 2 legit MLB players with all the money they have. This is not rocket science. 20 million comes off the book.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think he resigned because he could not stomach the mauer deal.....but that is pure speculation.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Keep them coming.........they have money and need players. I would like more top talent, keep them coming.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough......lets hope he is good.
