    Few good pitchers will ever be free agents. Great pitchers, yes, because they are expensive. But good pitchers? Not super likely. If they want good pitchers, they will need to trade.
  2. Mike Sixel
    If you will not pay market prices, you will not the best players...best meaning those that the market thinks are the best at the time of signing, not after the fact. I expect one middling signing and one flyer, cheap signing, and 85 to 90 losses next year.

    He's barely pitched, and will pitch in relief probably. I don't get how there could be any concern at all. Frankly, he should have been up earlier.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Um, um

    My point was, in the morneau thread, people said do nit trade him, he is too good to trade. They said that in the Willingham threads earlier this year. Now in the span thread too. Do you really expect them to sign two free agent pitchers for more than they have ever spent on one free agent? If not, you have to be willing to trade someone of value to get value in return. They should have done that this year.

    Another thread of do not trade him, he is good......how do you expect this team to get better if it will not trade good players? Remember, this year they cut payroll, and Willingham is their biggest free agent contract ever.

    The BBC recording of the Hobbit is the best way to listen to the "book". Really, really good. Great if your kids are interested at all.

    I like it this way, looser, also. Keep it loose. This is baseball, not life and death.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think this is a great idea. Too bad my sister in law moved away to another part if Iowa.....

    To the guy above, where is the viola on this roster? If your scenario for competing is two guys coming back from surgery being good, and a gm that has never before signed a big time pitcher signing two of them, and everyone staying healthy, what are the odds those all happen?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Any chance? Sure. Likely, no, not really. But we can always hope for substantial changes.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Other than Hermann, not one thing in that list interests me, or most casual fans. So little hope for the future in the callups. I will be very bummed out if more than two of these awful starting pitchers are back next year. If they are, there is no reason to keep any veteran hitter on this roster.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sure, at those prices, sure. But, he would need to be your fifth or sixth option. He cannot be counted on as a top 3 guy.
  14. Mike Sixel
    So what does that have to do with trading from a position of scarcity for a relief pitcher? Someone turned them down for a good pitcher, so they made a had trade? I do not follow what you are trying to communicate.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If Butera is on the roster next year, I'm going to struggle rooting for Terry Ryan to keep his job, frankly.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Dealing a top prospect for a relief pitcher is stupid. What does that have to so with trading for something of actual value?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Um, the less said, the better.
  18. Mike Sixel
    An aggressive team would have Hermann on the Roster next year. I predict he is in AAA to start the year, with Butera somehow keeping his job and being up here instead. The will say "He needs some AAA at bats to get ready" or something like that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agree, if the manager is only good when the players are good, why pay one this much money? Why even have one?
  20. Mike Sixel
    No, Ryan has never traded a top prospect for anyone. That is one reason, imo, why they did not win the series in the early 2000s.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, thanks for the write-ups.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The question was, what would I do, not what do I think the Twins will do....those are very, very, very different things. I would trade him, and sign two legit starting pitchers.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not just the 14, combine that with other money. And who said 1 year?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'd deal Morneau, and use the money for legit, big time, starting pitching. Take a flyer on Parmalee being ready.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Deserve a spot? No. Deserve a chance to earn a spot, or be in AAA ready to be called up? Yes. I hope guys like him are 5-8th starters for this team in the future, not top 3....But I agree, I expect Ryan to sign a middling guy, and a cheap flyer guy. Then I expect Devries to be in the rotation.
