    Um, if Dickey would sign a team friendly deal, he would be signed. He is one of the most effective pitchers in the game, he will be expensive.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I would get him, yes. He shows no sign of decline. I would trade Span for him in a second.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We will know a lot more if Arcia repeats AA.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I would, but the Twins will not, is my guess.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm in. Wonder what you'd have to give up. No to Sano, I think. Yes to pretty much any other 1 prospect. If I need to deal Hicks and Rosario, I think that might be too much.....but i"m not sure.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yes, 100% I'd deal him for the guys John said. Yes, 100%. One pitcher is enough, frankly.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I agree on Willingham, but I think most teams do also....
  8. Mike Sixel
    No brainer. You have to give up something to get something, and their only possible excess is outfielders.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Skip FM? This is the Twins we are talking about.....and the AFL is a ridiculous hitters league....

    I do not buy it. Free agents go where the money and playing time are. I have always thought this was some kind of excuse for fans, or an inferiority complex.
  11. Mike Sixel
    So you are basically saying, " suck for 2 to 3 more years". That is the effect of not signing free agents for the going rate and not trading for guys, isn't it? They have no pitching. It isn't even that they have bad pitching, I am not sure they even have 5 starters on the 40 man roster. If that is your plan, you have to deal every veteran, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I do not care who they talk to or who they are "in on". They have used that PR mumbo jumbo in the past. Talk is cheap. All I care about is who they get for what.
  13. Mike Sixel
    So, 3 more years of sucking?
  14. Mike Sixel
    What are the odds a 2nd round pick ever contributes? People way over rate the unknowns relative to the knowns
  15. Mike Sixel
    Good luck, too had he never really produced.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't either. My statement was not really about him, it was about what I predict will be a trend.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    We are going to read this about every pitcher...." We were interested, but they wanted more money, or more years, or more prospects than we were willing to do'. Over and over, until only bad pitchers are left. First pitcher in, and we are already hearing it.
  18. Mike Sixel
    on the other side of the coin, does this mean the Royals are leas likely to compete to sign pitchers now?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Again, the bad part for the Twins is that this makes it more likely the Angels re- sign Greinke quickly, meaning the other teams are not waiting for him to decide on their offer, meaning the Twins now have a harder time signing other free agents.
  20. Mike Sixel
    They will have to give up more than 1outfielder to get Shields.
  21. Mike Sixel
    He has one trade where he got serious impact players back. So ya, he often trades nothing, but he often gets nothing super meaningful in return. This team has no pitching. It has none close in the minors other than Gibson. At some point, he is going to have to trade valuable assets, or pay serious money.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Every available pitcher has issues....worse news, this give the Angels money to sign Greinke. So two pitchers go off the market, and people willing to pay real money are no longer waiting for Greinke to decide. These boards are going to nitpick every pitcher the Twins do not acquire, to explain why passing on them all was a good decision. Just like I expect Ryan to do....and end up with bad pitching again.
  23. Mike Sixel
    This is the same staff that thinks Hardy us not a good defender, correct? If they bring in a no hit fielding specialist, you know Gardy will play him. Ugh.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I said "I thought", not "they thought". And yes, that was obviously an exaggeration. But it was an awful trade.
  25. Mike Sixel
    One of the worst trades ever. I thought they had signed Nishioka to play 2nd, with Hardy at SS. They have this picture in their head that Hardy and college players do not align with.
