    They are in year three of not getting out....how long should fans wait before not spending their money?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Can we see who has ignored us?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Gunnathor, that is a fair stance, I just do not agree that it has to be cyclical, nor do I agree the down cycle should last 4 years, at least. But, that is not a fact, and we are so far off of celebrating that they do have a better system now, that I am probably done with this part of the discussion on this thread.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Lots of should come up in the future there.....if you will not sign free agents one or two guys need to come up every year and be good for more than 1 year, or you are going to lose 90 plus games 3 or 4 years in a row. I have no idea how that is acceptable. This system has not developed enough good players, do people disagree with that?
  5. Mike Sixel
    If they were so good at it, where are all the regular starters that have come up since Mauer? Why do they have almost no good, young players on the roster or at AAA?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Right, the draft is on the scouting director, and how bad the GM is at assembling a good MLB roster. Trades are on the GM. So, between being awful at the ML level, and trading from the ML roster, Ryan has had a role in rebuilding the farm system. My issue is that it is not either or. You can do all that, and still sign free agents......Clearly the farm system is better. Clearly it should go up in the next two years as they ads two more top 5 picks, and Sano and Buxton are still in the minors.

    I think the point was clear, but maybe not. A question..... Are you suggesting replacing Revere with Parmalee will not result in more outfield hits?
  8. Mike Sixel
    The outfield defense leads me to believe he will be worse, as less fly balls are turned into outs.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Catch more. He is paid to catch. He will be declining by the time they even try to put a good team on the field, so they may as well catch him while he is healthy.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Great progress. With two more top 5 picks, the minors should be even better over the next couple of years.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It would be awesome if he was good this year. Hope can be a wonderful thing.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why would they only spend half of the new money? What costs are going up to eat the other half?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Right, contracts for free agents will be way up next year....making this the year to sign guys. Imagine what a good pitcher will cost next year, when every team has way more revenue. Imagine how cheap even 10 million per year will look.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Minnesota was 10th in runs scored in the AL last year....so offense was part of the problem.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The Twins get 25 million in new revenue next year, right? I see no chance they are budget constrained in 2014 or 2015, unless the goal is to spend 30% of revenue on the roster.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Those people that say it never hurts to keep a player longer in AA, because you can promote from there.....this thread reminds us why it does matter that players are promoted slowly and not given a September callup.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    As long s they do not keep his bat in the minors for years while he learns to play defense.....if he is a great MLB hitter, I want him up, not learning to field for four years....but I doubt you all agree.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The only way he re-signs here is because his family is here. If he wants to win, why would he sign here, if Ryan is aiming for 15 or 16 competitiveness?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't think any of us knows the situation....imo, the most likely is that Ryan has his job until he does not want his job. I do not have a theory one way or the other with Gardenhire.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Two more top 5 picks....since they were historically bad, pitching wise, it almost has to be better. Does not mean it will be good, or adequate......
  21. Mike Sixel
    He just did not have the resources to fix all the problems this off-season, so he fixed the pitching this year....next year he will fix the infield....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Correct, Nick. Most people asking for a higher payroll are asking them to sign legit free agents, not to sign just any player at random. But plenty of people saying payroll somehow does not matter insist that people are arguing they should just spend money to spend money, when no one is doing that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    LOVE the strawman that they should spend just to spend. Love it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    He is 25, there should be no service time issues. Throwing in Rochester is no different, arm health wise, than throwing in Minnesota. I struggle to understand not having him up here the moment he is one of the 12 best pitchers in the system.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The bullpen on a team with this roster should be mostly young guys at this point. There is no good reason to have anyone from outside the organization added to the bullpen.
