    I think you missed the sarcasm, Rick.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I do not understand why signing a good pitcher to a multiyear deal is not about 2014.....how that handcuffs them for the future.
  3. Mike Sixel
    But you are not adding Sanchez or Marcum for 1 year....so the questions are....do you punt on 2012....do you believe you can sign anyone this year that will help in 1 or 2 years.....signing guys is not about only next year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    100 million over 5 years? That is what a good team costs. Why is spending that bad or wrong for a team getting $25MM more in revenue next year?
  5. Mike Sixel
    No one is asking Ryan to spend 100 million on pitching. One legit pitcher is around 13-15 per year. Add in one or two flyers for less than 5MM per year, and the pitching budget is less than what Mauer makes. Is that really unreasonable?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Two more top five picks that are ready in 6 years will give them a deep system.

    Diamond is on a year to year deal. He pitched in the AL. He makes the league minimum. He is younger. He was not sent to the pen last year. The numbers need to be put in context.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If Correia is a three, this is an awesome deal. He is not even a five. He is one of the three worst starters in baseball the last two years.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Signing a good pitcher would be a good thing, but that does not make signing this guy a good thing. It is a bad signing, especially for a budget conscious team.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You just suggested that the Twins are not cheap. Would you like to offer evidence of that? Yes, that is a Covey story. This is a terrible signing. There is no paradigm shift fans could make to view this through a different lens that leads to a different conclusion. I am willing to listen/read if someone has one.

    Gleeman said he has the lowest strikeout rate of any RH over some period. What is Ryan doing? How do you sign this guy for 2 years and that much money? At least I know I won't have to spend money on the Twins this year, or probably next either.
  12. Mike Sixel
    How is this better than what they have?
  13. Mike Sixel
    What is the point of this?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Most of us agree...but think instead they should sign one of these expensive guys who should be good for 3 to 5 years.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I do not know if he is the best. My point is that if he is, he should be up.
  16. Mike Sixel
    If they all come up in 2014, they are all rookies together, with little experience. I do not see the point in not having your best players in the majors. How did keeping trout in the minors work out for LA last year? Try to win, see if you get lucky.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Wow, then I totally read your post wrong! My bad. I agree, they should not sign guys likely to be about the same or a tiny bit better than their current options.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So don't even try to be good by putting the best players out there because they cannot win it all? They built the stadium to retain their current players. If hicks is the beat option, he should he out there.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Why would they need another outfielder if they are rebuilding?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Seth, control is about money. In your scenario, they could sign him to a deal to keep him. So your clock argument is all about money.
  21. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, I do like the concept of going for it. I just did not like this version much. If it works in the next two years, even if Meyers is great, it was worth it. I just do not think the odds are good it will work.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I am mot sure why worrying about future arbitration matters. By the time he is eligible, they will have almost all players making the minimum. At some point, they do need to sell tickets somehow. But I think Seth and others are correct in assuming it is about money for the Twins
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ah, he typed "this sucks"....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Awful trade. One of the top prospects in the game, a guy that looks like a future #3 starter, and stuff, for a number 2 starter you only have for two more years, and a reliever/possible starter. Not a fan. That's like Sano and Gibson and two more throw ins...no way I do that. I would not have even done Meyers for Shields straight up. Mind blowing. I can't imagine what rany is typing....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'll tell you what I wouldn't do...trade Sano and Gibson for Shields and Davis and PTBNL....what is KC doing? Awful trade for KC, great trade for MN and TB.
