    If they are not going to even try to compete this year, they should deal him. Ideally they would pay nearly the whole salary and get a good prospect.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Regrets or not, those are not words to fire up the fanbase with excitement.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Even from when? Certainly not even from last year's number.....nor the year before.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Good question.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I do not secretly like that they are frugal.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, the last time the owners did that they were sued for collusion and lost. And, if you don't want to play in the market, then you should sell your team, because this is the price, Mr. Owner....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Just curious, there is already a thread on this. Why not comment there?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Short sighted? How are attendance concerns not relevant at all? That said, I would consider the trade, because it isn't my reputation and money on the line....
  9. Mike Sixel
    So just signing him to put a competitive team on the field is a bad idea?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I have kind of given up at this point....still hoping to he wrong.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    How does Punto help the future at all? Would it not be better to play the younger players, and see if they are good or not....not for a week, only to be replaced by an older guy, but for months? It certainly appears they are not trying to compete this year....still hoping to be wrong....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Did no one read the part where I said the precise definition is debatable? Not sure how I could have made that more clear. I have completely lost interest in this topic.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Um, I was not, and never would, talk about pitcher wins. I thought it was clear I was talking about the likelihood a team wins. Does not really matter anyway.
  14. Mike Sixel
    With all the AAAA arms in Rochester, what AA guy could even get promoted?
  15. Mike Sixel
    While I do not always agree with Gardys tactical decisions, he must do something well because the team has generally been successful with him here. I believe with a bench coach to help temper a few decisions that he can be a successful manager again.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ugly list, not made better by adding more names. I had hoped with the money freed up the last two years, Blackburn and probably morneau coming off the books next year, and 25 million in new revenue next year, things would change.....still hoping....
  17. Mike Sixel
    But you get wins in 30 game increments, Brock. Some days a player or team is just off. Mashing all innings together in one number ignores that games are discrete events. I would rather a guy give up 3 runs every start, than 2 some starts, and 4 some starts. Era does not take that into account. QS is not perfect, but it is informative, imo.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So people still think they will fix all their holes next year, and should not start now? Can you explain how you think that might work? Can you explain how signing a second tier starter for 3-4 years does not help 2014?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I find it depressing the Clevelands got Bauer...he is a better prospect than any the Twins got.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I love the quality start stat. What matters for a start is did you give your team a good chance to win or not. Much better than ERA which blends every start together. Now, whether or not the precise definition is correct can he debated, but I find the stat highly useful for assessing performance.
  21. Mike Sixel
    We'll get a chance to see how good Bauer is up close and personal now (well, those that buy tickets will).
  22. Mike Sixel
    Bauer? Um, he's a much better prospect than any the Twins got in the last two trades, from what I've read. Don't know anything about anyone but Choo in the deal though...
  23. Mike Sixel
    So because the offense sucks, maybe, they should not try to get good pitching?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Probably semantics mostly at this point....yes.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Cdog, if you are racing in the Indy 500, yes, spending 50k on a bad car is cheap. The signing has to be in context of the Twins needs and the market. This signing is bad primarily for the length. If this is fixing the rotation, then it is cheap. If they now sign 2 legit pitchers, this isn't cheap, it is just likely a bad deal.
