    We actually have no idea what role Bill Smith played, other than we know he was in charge when the Twins made decisions to spend big on a few international FAs, something they did not do before that often. I'm not sure how you can say "nothing to do with the actual signings", unless you have inside information on how decisions were made.

    Even though those other things clearly are choices, Brock.....I like that Tori is public with his fears and bigotry. If only everyone else was that open, we could have a real conversation about these things. I just don't get the obsession with homosexuality that many have, like it is some thing that is worse than adulterous behavior, or drug use, or drinking and driving, or any number of other things that are clearly harmful. I just don't get the obsession.

    Actually, the Cubs look like they did what the Vikings did....

    The last two super bowl champions were 6 seeds, at least I hears that yesterday...if you make the playoffs, you have a chance.

    The vikings added a legit Left tackle, starting safety, elite kicker, got their top two CBS back from injury/suspension, and two good backup corners. That would be like signing two second tier starters, and 4 more players.....

    I think it would be great if the Twins signed good free agents, If these guys are good.

    Ultima... My name is Mike Sixel...there, not anonymous.

    Johnny, some thought are wrong....what if he was white and said he did not want a black on the team, would that be ok?
  9. Mike Sixel
    So sad. Fear is rampant in certain communities though....

    For what is worth, without Twins Daily, I doubt I would care at all right now. I cannot understand why I care at this point, other than I have cared for decades and it is hard to stop. That is more about realizing sports are not that important to me than it is about the Twins. I just like doing stuff more than watching sports now. So, for your good or ill, you all keep me interested.

    I would love morneau to be here forever. He is a class act. But if they will not sign any pitchers this year, why would he re-sign here? I assume he also wants to win.

    So the reason Mauer did not get many RBI is that The guys in front of him did not get on base.....leading one to conclude you should put high OBP people at the top of the lineup.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Great, detailed, writeup, I was about to link to it also.....

    So Terry Ryan, who has publicly stated it is wrong to trade a guy and then trade him, will now sign two players, only planning to deal them? That seems unlikely. Also, what if they get hurt, and you are stuck with the contracts?

    I too will not spend any of my money on this inferior product in 2013.

    The headcoach in Indy is probably the lead candidate, along with Carroll and Shanahan.

    It is NOT overpaying if that is the market rate. It is NOT overpaying if that is the market rate. That's how markets work.

    I'm hopeful Neal will start offering his opinions on this work more in the future.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think he has a shot.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I like what the Cubs did to help their major league pitching. Not sure about their hitting though.
  21. Mike Sixel
    There are so many awesome parts to this interview. Good luck to the twins.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I agree, fixing the team in 1 year is unrealistic. That is why signing one legit pitcher this year made sense. He can either be here in 2 or 3 years, or be traded for more prospects. As for the 75 win number, do people think a team like that will sell tickets? And if their revenue drops, do you think they will buy players next year?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Two years? Amazing.
  24. Mike Sixel
    A 75 win team is not sufficiently more entertaining than a 66 win team to put butts in seats, imo.
  25. Mike Sixel
    So punt on 2013 and 2014, minn55441? That's your strategy? People keep talking about "risk" and signing guys that have actually succeeded in the majors, but somehow are ignoring the risk that these prospects might not work out. And, since it "does not make sense to sign any legit FA unless your team is close", what happens in the next two years if some of the prospects don't work?
