    This would not be my favorite decision.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Yes
  3. Mike Sixel
    If I'm an expansion team, I'm taking veterans I can trade for prospects..... And really young players I can keep around. If I'm the Twins, I think I'd base my protection around that.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'm not criticizing anyone. I'm pointing out that if you have a budget, and get one time money, it's bad strategy to commit past one year. How is that debatable?
  5. Mike Sixel
    I was aiming for five, maybe ten, percent over two weeks.... lucky for me this time. It's not always that way....
  6. Mike Sixel
    When did they sign CC to the second deal? Wasn't that last year ?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Vazquez for a defense first catcher for ten million. They didn't shed Kepler either. Covering is fine, if you don't plan to sign anyone else, and that doesn't account for next year's increases. My preference is irrelevant to what a team with budget constraints should do.
  8. Mike Sixel
    One more thought... If the BAM money was one time.... They should not have signed long term deals, but only one year deals last year.. Locking in long term deals with one time money is bad business.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Nice 16% profit in less than a week on that swing trade.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    If they were emulating the Ray's, Kepler would be traded. They aren't really emulating them. They need to pick a lane.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Also, Baltimore was terrible for years, and refused to invest in the team last year .... I'd guess their payroll is lower than the Twins....
  12. Mike Sixel
    All y'all have staked out your positions for years on this topic. You have more stamina than me!

    I'm trying to be a better person, so I'll feel bad for him for a minute or two. He's one of the final straws for me ever rooting for individual athletes......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Cool. Was just going to check....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Likely it does nothing good. You can be competitive without spending in the top half, but you aren't winning it all.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2024-prospect-week-chat/ ram 1:15 Has there ever been a disparity between your list and the ZIPs list that has caused you to go back and reevaluate a prospect? Eric A Longenhagen 1:17 Yes, Danny sends me zips a few days ahead so i can double check some guys. This year it was Danny de Andrade, who I felt comfortable moving on from quickly from a top 100 standpoint, still a fair prospect who'll be on their team list
  17. Mike Sixel
    For fun? I'm going with Montgomery for 1-2 years......
  18. Mike Sixel
    At least he's being honest.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Big fan of this combination. I expect Jeffers to be about ten percent worse, and Vazquez to be much better.... So a little better overall than last year. I hope Jeffers starts about ten or twenty more games than last year....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Never too old! I bought more Nvidia after this mornings plunge.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's literally an article about payroll....what id you expect?
  22. Mike Sixel
    that said, I 100% think this is why payroll is what it is this year. I also think they believe (rightly?) in the SP in AA and AAA and don't think they need to sign a FA SP to a 2+ year deal.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Poor Pohlads, how ever will they survive?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing Hunter and Cousins are gone. This is going to be ugly for a couple years.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Fangraohs writers listed no one in the Twins.... Those two were from scouts. I was kind of bummed about that, given how many made that list.
