    Out if curiosity, why were the other guys too expensive? And does anyone think wages will be less in the coming years?
  2. Mike Sixel
    The market went where the market was expected to go, when you realize every team is getting 25 million more in revenue next year. What is the baseball inflation adjusted salary relative to the dome years, anyone know?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Not one person on this thread suggested they sign 4 big time free agents. Not one.
  4. Mike Sixel
    He also stated in that interview that scouts he trusts said Correia was better than his numbers. From that I inferred that Ryan trusts scouts more than numbers.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If you were going to trade him, why not eat all the salary? What harm does that do?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I neither said the offense (offense, not position players) was fixed or not. I said it was improved, and that others could decide if it was fixed or not. I offered no value judgement on that.
  7. Mike Sixel
    The Twins offense was better, but I am not sure it was fixed. They moved from 13th in the AL in runs scored to 10th, you may choose how to assess that at your leisure.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Good article, but I prefer median, I think, for a study like this.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Right, two man rotation, and a lot of 2-3 inning guys.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Since I have vowed not to post negative thoughts on this site for a month, I'll just post that I would love it if the Twins got better through FA this year. That would be cool.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Like next year when Morneau is gone, Mauer and Willingham and Doumit are a year older? Or maybe the year after when Willingham is gone too? As Hunter said, they play for a future that never comes.
  12. Mike Sixel
    We know that he failed to sign good pitchers. Who cares if he tried? Drew Butera tries to hit, does not mean he should get to keep trying. Ryan's job is to make the team better, not try to make the team better.
  13. Mike Sixel
    What is a fair weather fan? Someone that has other interests, and will not spend money on a bad product? The people that move attendance to real profit? Those are 100 percent the fans the team should care about.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I think they should get rid of starters completely outside of Diamond and Worley. All others go 2 or 3 innings every 2 or 3 days. That way they can throw harder every outing. Some day, a team will succeed with this idea. There is no reason to ask all starters to try to be like all other starters.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to him.
  16. Mike Sixel
    True, but unlike some guys, Hendriks has not proved he is bad in the majors. I would want him out there, so we know one way or the other with more certainty. Just like Slama, let us not trot out guys we know are bad, let us see what he has for a few months.
  17. Mike Sixel
    We have no idea by whom or how decisions are made. We can only see the outcomes, and speculate. It was a nice article.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not one person said to trade prospects ....nice strawman. They have money. They are not spending it. And again, you make the argument not to improve the team at all, unless they ac win it all. Had they replaced their worst 60 starts with two league average or better pitchers, the team is more than 3 games better. Signing a legit pitcher or two is not only about this year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Hendriks should he in the rotation all year. He has nothing to prove in AAA, and they need to run him out there and let him grow. My hope is that they ate realistic, given what they have done, and play for the future. if Gibson pitches any innings, they should be in the majors. It does not hurt your arm leas to throw in the minors or practice games.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I will never understand the crowd that says if you cannot fix it all, you should not fix any of it. The only thing not spending money this year does is decrease attendance. Terry Ryan is the same guy he always has been. There is zero evidence otherwise.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Given his actions this year, and how similar they are to the past, I think it is pretty clear what Ryan is doing. It just is not true that any player on that list was not reachable by the Twins. I do not understand how any conclusion can be drawn other than Ryan will not pay market rates for a free agent. It is not over paying if that is what happens every year. It is the market the pohlads have decided to play in, supposedly.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Does not matter what Ponder does, people will rip him. The team won 7 more games than last year, the QB deserves some credit, lucky or not.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Some of that looks quite realistic.
  24. Mike Sixel
    If pitching free agents do not want to come here, why would Gardy want to stay? There will be options for him if he wants them, I believe.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Put that money into the roster.
