    In a vacuum, it is not a bad signing. As a collection, buying only bad players or injured players, and hoping they somehow become something they are not, is a bad strategy. I could care not care less about this signing, it is the overall strategy that this indicates and fits within that I care about.
  2. Mike Sixel
    What's not to like is that this is the strategy, instead of signing one legit pitcher. Hope is a bad strategy.

    Unreal. I was about to come here and type Super Bowl Homeboy....I guess I'll go with We're comin, We're comin....

    How does signing Jackson not help 2014?
  5. Mike Sixel
    If Willingham could net Hultzen, you would do that instantly.

    I would say he is close right now, but needs 2-3 more good years, and not to have 5 bad years that leave a bad memory in voters' minds. The recency effect has played havoc on a few candidates.

    It is not Ryan's job to try to make the team better, it is his job to make the team better. Drew Buyers tries to hot, does not mean he should keep his job. I do not care what Ryan tried or did not try. So far, he has failed to do what he said he would do.

    Terry Ryan defenders, who did he sign to play OF or DH in his last term, when they had some of the worst DHs in history, and had a good team? What gives you any belief that he would sign a big time player to a big time contract? What evidence do you have?

    They won 3 games last year, and their qb is awful. That must mean the team is pretty good. sign a legit WR Glenn Dorsey, who does not fit in KC's defense should be cheap. draft the best OG, DT, LB, CB, S in round 1. draft the best OG available in round 2, unless you did in round 1.

    Dan S, who does zips, just joked that whenever he tries to project the twins pitching, he gets a blue screen of death....

    Given their rebuild mode, isn't it more important to play Plouffe, than to replace him with some old guy that cannot hit? Should they not have patience with him, like with other young players? What good is a couple more wins next year, if Plouffe does not get more reps, and you do not know if he is the answer or not?

    There are several things to consider 1 there are degrees of appreciation. Some almost worship him like an idol, and so not understand why others so not. 2 there is a distinction between feelings for Mauer, and feelings for how the twins choose to constrict the rest of their payroll as a result of his contract.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I would rather Hendriks was in the majors all year, to see what he is or is not.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Does not look pretty right now. You tend to get what you pay for.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Ryan has already punted on 2013 with his pitching decisions, hasn't he? I see mo reason to keep these guys around now.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I should not have clicked in that link. Sigh.

    Rosario is not going from A to the MLB.

    Wins are a team stat....would you rather sign a FA pitcher with a 7 ERA*, who's team scored 8 runs in every start, or one with a 1 ERA, who's teammates were shut out every game? Which one is more likely to help your team in the future? *yes, I know ERA is not a perfect stat
  19. Mike Sixel
    Awesome.

    To be clear, I love the mobile version, that tiny key board really helps this old guy work on his dexterity....and creates some great typos. I do use Android. The back button I hit is the "physical" back button, not a browser back button. This only changed in the last two weeks or more recently.... Love the site. You do a great job.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Clete Thomas is not going to report to AA. As for the question of the number of OF and where they play, maybe this means Hicks will actually start in MN. I doubt it, but maybe they are serious about that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Just remember, pre-FA pitchers will cost a lot less than FA pitchers, because their contracts are kept artificially low due to how the labor agreement works.

    Brock, I agree with the OP, more thread merging would be great, but I understand your view also. Hopefully posters will actually start looking for threads before creating them. Do you send a note to people that create duplicate threads, encouraging them to look first? Also, some duplicates result from us posting something, then you all writing articles about the same topic..... Have you considered closing the older thread in that case,a nd asking people to post in the new thread? Also, off topic. Since the software switch, if I post in a thread from the mobile version (which is awesome, btw), I cannot hit "back". I need to go to the overall forum. As always, the main message is you guys do a great job.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Wouldn't it be cheaper to just sign a legit FA, and not give up anything but money, than to trade for Buerhle, pay the same amount of money, and have to give up something else also?
  25. Mike Sixel
    And, spycake, when would you fix the pitching? It's not like signing a legit pitcher or two to multi year deals is only for 2013. You really think these pitchers will get them to 80? Then I'd expect signing Marcum and Jackson/Sanchez would get us to 87 or so....why not try that?
