    I'd certainly be open to trading for a SP, but I couldn't guess who that would be at this point. And, the FO can work on that and offense at the same time.......not to mention the dozens of other things they are working on that aren't even on teh field related.
  2. Mike Sixel
    No team looks at W-L records of SP to make decisions on said pitchers. No organization.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm with most of you.....2 years with an option for 3. Or, sign Nola, but he'll want 7 years or so.....do people have stomachs for that? I don't know..... There are like 2-4 other good SPs I'd spend money on, and I definitely want one more GOOD SP, so, ya, good luck to all sides! Big fan of Gray and the trade to get him.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Gray is getting a QO, but I don't think he counts as on the 40 man? None of those other FAs NEED to be signed, but I'm betting money they sign Taylor and DON'T trust Martin to take over (with Castro and Buxton).
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's also about willingness to take chances on youth .... Can Martin start in center? Can Lee be the backup SS and 3b if there is an injury? I see no way they give up on Miranda..... He was hurt all year. This year they refused to trust youth, largely, keeping Gallo around and avoiding playing Wallner as long as possible. What will they try next year?
  6. Mike Sixel
    SWR isn't being cut.... He's 22, I think. All the other pitchers? Does it matter if you lose them if they don't have options, or even if they do?
  7. Mike Sixel
    With Castro and Martin, you don't likely even consider Gordon at this point. He's replaced already. Y'all are likely right on Prato though.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Good point. I'd have to look at numbers to see if I do it anyway
  9. Mike Sixel
    Camargo, Martin, Salas, E Rod, &Severino
  10. Mike Sixel
    Wow, I've never succeeded like that with carrots. I'm about to plant garlic....
  11. Mike Sixel
    sigh. whatever. No matter why, I don't understand it.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand this move at all.
  13. Mike Sixel
    i understand that perspective, but don't use it myself. I made the mistake of coming into the game thread yesterday, I won't be doing that if they are losing today. The thread was unreadable for me.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Not one pitch and the thread is already filled with negativity. Have fun everyone....
  15. Mike Sixel
    They literally swept TOR, carried the team to the division title, and hit well most of the year. It is more likely a small sample size than choking or not being ready.
  16. Mike Sixel
    My theory also, but some people here are sure it is something more devious....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Shocking. Wow
  18. Mike Sixel
    Arguing we shouldn't make things better because we can't make them perfect is a terrible argument across all facets of life no one is arguing for perfection, we're arguing for better.
  19. Mike Sixel
    100x this. 1000000x .
  20. Mike Sixel
    It literally has zero impact on trading kirk (which was never happening after the season started). They both suck.
  21. Mike Sixel
    100% true.
  22. Mike Sixel
    It literally has zero to do with the Twins for me. I can't say that again and again....because you just aren't interested in what I'm actually saying. I specifically mentioned unconscious bias....for example, which has nothing to do with conspiracy theories.
  23. Mike Sixel
    See tennis....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I think I've stated quite clearly I want fair umps. Did you even read what I said? I'm ok if you don't care if they are fair, but asking what studies exist, then dismissing the idea of them seems, well, not really interested.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Did you even try to google about umpiring, because we know some things: They call terrible pitches strikes when there are 3 balls. They favor veterans. They favor home teams. All of this is known stuff. We absolutely need robo umps to eliminate unconscious bias (so many studies on this are available with a modicum of effort) in all kinds of things in society, sports is just one of them
