    72 wins is my current prediction. I think 75 is reasonable for people to predict, above that seems more like hope than math to me.

    I said either lied, or failed. One of those is true, right? Is there a third option? I guess, if you think these signings do make them competitive, that is the third option, but I have no idea how anyone could think that, hope it maybe, but not think it.

    Why would they sign him next year, if they refused this year? Face it. They lied to us all when they said they would aggressively pursue pitching, or Ryan failed at his job. Either way, bad news.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Yea, but they still have payroll flexibility....so that's still goodness.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If pitchers and other free agents supposedly will mot sign here, why would Morneau? At some point, he might feel like Torii and Johan did, that Ryan never plays for the present.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I believe Plouffe will be just below average defensively, and a bit more above average offensively....meaning he will be right around the median of everyday starters. Confident of that, actually.

    Other than injury, Apple has the highest floor, though. He could start in the majors right now. He should he a 2 or at worst a 3. There is no downside, performances wise, to drafting him....relative to other players....given what we know today. I have no idea how you pass on a guy that is Likely to be a good starting pitcher. Lots of guys have potential, but Apple has that and a very low likelihood of not reaching that, relative to others risk.

    I loved watching Gagne go deep into the hole and miraculously throwing out a hitter.
  9. Mike Sixel
    You can plan for short starts, but no MLB team is that much of a risk taker.

    41? Insane. There are plenty of AAAA starters that could be relievers. Not to mention Slama, Guerra, ans other relievers in the system. What could the possible upside realistically be for this team?
  11. Mike Sixel
    No one expects Ryan to sign expensive players.....Smiths biggest legacy was his willingness to do so. But Ryan will get all the credit for rebuilding the twins when sano and Kepler are up.
  12. Mike Sixel
    How are innings in Rochester less impactful to his arm? If he is one of the beat pitchers, have him up here. You can limit his innings here just the same. Only stubbornness keeps a team from doing this.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not sure if the earlier question to me was serious, but /s is short for "everything before this was sarcasm".
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree, those four should play all year, that still left plenty if room to add free agents. So yes, clear a path where it makes sense, but some of us think the current path is too wide, and the people in it too gar away not to sign a legit free agent or two.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, Span will be missed by many of us. Really grew as a player and off field representative over the years.

    Questioning the fandom of a season ticket holder who had his wedding at the stadium.....priceless.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Great link, thanks Seth.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I knew someone would point out my badly worded post.....sorry about that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I have said all along that he should pitch every day in the majors, let's see how good his stuff is. Especially now given the moves they have made.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I look forward to him pitching well. He has a good chance to be good.
  21. Mike Sixel
    And if they are not competitive in 2014, will you then question the front office? I do mot believe there is any excuse to be this bad this long. You disagree, what makes you so right, and those that feel three awful years is too many?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Dude has always been Mr negative and clearly is not a real fan. /s
  23. Mike Sixel
    What is more likely, Marcum is healthy and good, or correia is healthy and good? Given their previous choices, I do not know the right course on Marcum and Saunders, frankly.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Plouffe should be at third all year....see what you have. Dozier should be at second all year, see what you have. Carroll and the others can fight it out for short and bench. Once they decided not to sign two legit pitchers, the strategy for the infield should have been clear, see what you already have. Lots to rip them for at the MLB level, but this was always dependent on the other actions.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I have no issue with the middle infield plan this year. There did not appear to be many options, and I want Dozier out there all year.
