    How would signing legit pitchers this year be bad for next year?
  2. Mike Sixel
    flexibility meaning what?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Are people really surprised? This is who Ryan is.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Really not sure what to say, other than I am not surprised this is the route they took.
  5. Mike Sixel
    He should be up all year ....let's see what he has.
  6. Mike Sixel
    In a rebuilding year, Plouffe should play every game, to see what you really have. I see no reason at all for that not to happen. A team, in this situation, that does not realize this, does not understand some pretty fundamental stuff about strategy. If you are not playing to win this year, only young players should be on the field, where you do not currently have starters. What good would it do the Twins beyond this year to do this?

    I like fish....
  8. Mike Sixel
    They already are doing that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed that the contract the twins gave will look worse and worse as other bad pitchers sign.
  10. Mike Sixel
    If you are not adding top notch pitchers, Hendriks should be in the rotation all year to get him either started on a long career, or to move him to the pen. Trading for old guys and keeping him in AAA does no good for the future at all.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Like the Twins would pay David Price. Ryan has stated very clearly that you cannot have 3-4 players earning half the salary of the team. Keeping Morneau and Mauer and adding Price puts you well over that limit.
  12. Mike Sixel
    His salary limits what they can do because they have set an arbitrary limit on their payroll....irrespective of new revenue next year.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Did they do that earlier this decade? Which big piece did they fill with FA? DH/OF? Nope. When have you ever seen them do that? They are $25MM down from last year, Blackburn, Morneau come off next year, and they add $25mM in revenue....have you seen it this year? Because to me, committing to winning is spending resources when it is available to make your team better.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Sweetone....do you see any evidence the twins owners are committed to winning at all?
  15. Mike Sixel
    There was a huge population ripping the Hardy trade when it was made....it is unfair to classify it all as hindsight. Just as there is a huge disagreement with signings made so far this year.
  16. Mike Sixel
    "not a good value".... "too many years"..."health concerns"...."too much money"....."not better than what we have"....did I miss anything?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't care if Ryan makes offers. I care if the team is better. Butera tries to hit....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Because the twins largest FA signing ever is Willingham....and they have no intention of signing free agents that are expensive. That should he obvious by now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It matters in 2014 and 2015... These are not 1 year deals.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Let's just be honest, they are not even trying to be competitive. Just trade him and pocket the money and be honest about who you really are....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Maybe Ryan should sign Kluwe....to learn how to actually punt..
  22. Mike Sixel
    Why does 2013 not matter? And why not trade for young guys now? If he is in demand, do a three way. The longer you wait to trade for young guys, the longer before they are up.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If Andrus costs two other everyday players, how are they better now or in 2 years?
  24. Mike Sixel
    What is the point of getting Andrus if you do not sign 2 legit pitchers? Either try to win, or rebuild.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It is not over paying if that is what the market pays.
