    It was a mind boggling post....no value? Really?
  2. Mike Sixel
    I struggle with giving up 3+ years of a number 3/4 type for 1 year of any SP, given how hard it is to find even a number 3.....I get where others disagree. And, as we both say, they'd have to go find another SP then....can they afford Burns and another expensive SP to replace a cheap one? Should they spend their money that way? Why not just use the money you'd spend on Burns and another SP on a FA SP that costs the same and you have under contract for more than 1 year?
  3. Mike Sixel
    agreed. I don't understand why a guy like that wasn't in the bullpen this year in AAA....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I predict the Twins sign him to a one year deal for about 12 million.....a prove it type deal. Might or might not come with a mutual option. This is a stop gap until Festa or SWR or someone else is ready in 2025.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Good thing they didn't tank last year and take Bryce.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I mean, they will add Martin and ERod.... So that's two more....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but then they need another one....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Why trade a starting pitcher to get one?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Yes, 100 times, yes. They won't win the bidding though.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd be more likely to include EROD, I think......because I think Lee can play SS, and I'm not sure if Lewis can or CC will stay healthy.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I don't think that's enough for Burnes.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Plus "be the Rays" is unachievable for anyone else, apparently. Because they are the only ones to keep it going for more than a few years.
  13. Mike Sixel
    25 pitchers pitched 180 innings last year.......that's it.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd include any SP prospect in the deal instead of SWR, frankly. Basically, the reverse of the Berrios deal, but for more years of control (hence dealing Wallner for Yellich to give MILW savings). I'd work my butt off to deal Yellich...
  15. Mike Sixel
    It pains me to say it, but I'd include Lee in a deal for him. I'd even be willing to take Yellich back to give them salary relief in the process.....so, um, Lee, Wallner, SWR and who for those two? Do I even need to add more if I take back Yellich? I'd have to likely deal Polanco to free up money, but I'm ok with that.
  16. Mike Sixel
    14 million a year, for two years.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Pretty big risk signing a DH first guy with Buxton on the roster......Also, you have AK, Miranda, and maybe Julien for first. And Severino. I don't know......I'd rather spend on a CF and SP than a DH/1B at this point.
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's going to take at least a two year deal, if not three.... He's one of the five best hitters available this year, which says a lot about this class.... I've changed my mind, and would be ok with signing him. I'd rather sign an elite pitcher, but they likely won't do that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Some great facts here.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'd be happy if the Twins were in the playoffs every year like the dodgers. The Yankees have also been there nearly every year. How did not spending work for KC, Detroit, and all the other bottom dwellers? We can play this game all day. The Twins have a great starting pitcher and some real talent.... But it's unlikely they'll be as healthy in pitching next year. They have no one to replace Gray. And they weren't good enough last year. I think most people expect this team to win the division again, but is that the goal? Do people think cutting spending and not replacing Gray is a great idea?
  21. Mike Sixel
    correct. Also, it takes a long time to change an opinion once formed, and until this FO, well, cheap was likely earned at least many years....
  22. Mike Sixel
    so called? I mean, this isn't going to sit well the most casual fans, and even some/many serious ones. Those casual fans make or break the profitability......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Made me smile......I'm not sure I'd allocate funds that way, but I understand.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Did you read the quotes from the team? Because it seems clear they are lowering payroll....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I get that......but who is ready in AAA in case someone gets hurt, if not Varland?
