    4th and 15...it is an intriguing idea, but they would need to not allow a first down by penalty....too easy to get interference or holding....for the Twins, I think we are just in the third inning of the off-season....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Right. They pay the salary no matter what...so if you puck up all of it, and get anything in return, it is worth it. That said, I like Carroll at 2nd.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why do they need to cut salary? Carroll is great at getting on base. There is zero reason to move him.

    KLAW likes Pressley to have a chance to be worth a win....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I like Worley a lot if healthy. A lot.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Correct, he likes Kepler, but has stated that he has doubts about Berrios.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They have a new stadium, and their payroll has three guys that make 5 million or more. I believe that they would be cheap not to sign a legit pitcher this year. But that is an opinion, not a fact, so your mileage may vary.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Realism is great. They realistically could sign 2 really good pitchers if they wanted to. But I think they will not. I think realistic is code for cheap, but I am still hoping I am wrong.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't think we know yet, until the top 10 pitchers are signed, and we see what the Twins did.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ah,.probably true....the memory is an interesting thing....funny, now that you say that, I can see Carvey.....

    Not gonna happen, wouldn't be prudent....George Bush quote....

    Why not just go with Mastro and Benson while you wait for Hicks? Gardy loves guys like this....what does he bring to the team that Mastro and Benson don't? Play Plouffe every day at 3B, see what you have. Play Mastro/Benson, see what you have. Ah, Snepp....thanks. Another thread....

    According to Mackey, the Twins cannot have their top 3-4 players make 50% of their budget. If Mauer makes $23MM, that means the next 3 can make $24MM combined. Now, that does not leave any room to sign any pitchers that make real money, even if they trade Morneau......Me, I'd sign Marcum and 1 other pitcher and call it a day. But I don't see how signing any legit player fits within Ryan's statement.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Is this the interview Mackey is referring to, where he said you can't have 50% of your payroll in 4 players? If so, and your budget is $95 (hahahaha), and Mauer gets $23, that means your next three cannot make more than $24MM combined. That does not sound like a good plan for the future.... http://www.1500espn.com/sportswire/Mackey_Topheavy_payroll_would_be_recipe_for_disaster_in_GMs_eyes120512

    It would be mean spirited to he negative right now. IF he fails to use his money on legit pitchers, the pitchforks will come back out, probably. But there is no reason to rip him today....still hoping.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Two years should he the max for a reliever. So this would he good I think. Still hoping.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    No idea, but they clearly do not believe on Slama.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They can afford Marcum and Dempster right now. Trading Mauer has to be about stud middle infielders, a pitcher, ans then signing a third legit player this year or next.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Number three pitchers are now just "decent"? And the Twins only surplus, besides money, is outfielders. How would people that do jot like this trade suggest the Twins get better?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Brock, I think I like you even more now....thanks for the quote and smile.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I agree, if they do not use the money they have to sign 2 legit pitchers, that indicates they are punting. But that does not mean, imo, they should punt. They should sign Marcum and someone else.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I thin Jim has it right, we will all miss watching Revere and his attitude, but it was too much to say no to.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Payroll flexibility only matters if you are going to spend money.....still have not seen that willingness.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I bet on Benson, with Hicks being the higher level prospect, they will want him in AAA for a bit. But, Ryan may be a new man after all.
  25. Mike Sixel
    KLAW likes the deal. And I still do not think they have to punt on 2013.....
