    Why would they look foolish for backing out when two others did?
  2. Mike Sixel
    You think the twins got that deal, because they thought he was healthy?
  3. Mike Sixel
    But for more than two or three years. I'm still betting Mets. But then, I thought he'd be a Giant.
  4. Mike Sixel
    100% in agreement.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Just. Wow.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I've seen some strange ideas on this site.... But giving up prospects for a third baseman when you have Miranda and Lee? Mind. Boggling. Truly an awful use of assets.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They don't really pay hitters either. Vazquez, Donaldson traded after two years. That's it for multi year deals?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Three years. Three years is different than 1.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not just MN.....nearly every big deal is going to a handful of teams (though this one isn't big, it's much longer than I thought he'd get). Congrats to him! and, fun to play with your brother.
  10. Mike Sixel
    There are a lot of 2B options in AA/AAA, and even the majors. Gordon, for example, can play 2nd this year if they deal both Polanco and Arraez (I predict they deal neither).
  11. Mike Sixel
    We must no be looking at home runs or defense now? I mean, look at the home run difference. Did those others sign for one year? I literally can't recall right now
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure how to go from great prospect to bag of balls.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I want to keep Gray for mentor purposes, at least to the trade deadline. Other than that? I'd deal Kepler, Arraez and Polanco for the best prospects I could get (not numbers, but best individual talent). I don't think you are getting much for Mahle or Maeda right now.....But Lopez and he who shall not be named? I'd deal them.
  14. Mike Sixel
    One thing is for sure.....not much happening in TWins' land that we got ANOTHER article on Gallo.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    It isn't GREAT.....but if you could add three players that good every year, you'd have a good team.......If you were willing to sign the occasional FA that was actually good.... (like the C this year).
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think they keep Kepler and Gallo. Look at last year's disaster. Me? I'd trade Kepler right now for a great prospect. Even a very good one. Yes, that would hurt 2023 depth. I'm willing to take that risk.
  17. Mike Sixel
    One of the worst humans ever. No thanks.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Truth.
  19. Mike Sixel
    How is this a rumor? It is news, and was reported when Gallo was signed, wasn't it? I have zero, nada, nil, issue replacing Contreras with Gallo.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Sure, if you can get a really good pitcher for Arraez and Kepler and one decent prospect, sure. Good luck with that. What team that has a good pitcher in the majors wants two veteran hitters?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Mahle, Kiriloff and Larnach haven't been healthy for two years. Miranda? Sure, if you want to go to maybe 10 million a year. I'd extend Gray, but given this market, he'll want 4 years for at least 20 million a year .... hint....the Twins won't do that for anyone, let alone a pitcher.
  22. Mike Sixel
    100% . Not only are they passing on the elite pitchers, they are passing on the next tier. Every year. Over and over.
  23. Mike Sixel
    To be clear.....my posts about having CC or having two mediocre players aren't about CC.....they are about the strategy of continuing to sign one or two bad or ok players, year after year, instead of signing an elite player. Last year there were more great SPs available than ever. Instead of signing one, they signed Bundy and Archer, who were literally their two worst starters last year. Then, at the break, they dealt for Mahle. Imagine if they had signed one of the really good starters instead! And, that player would still be here this year, and next. Now? Now they need starters again, and they are down the prospects they dealt for Mahle (who is gone after this year, so they'll need another pitcher next year).
  24. Mike Sixel
    The Twins need pitching because last year was a record year for free agent starters, and they sat it out. Just like this year. And every year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This wasn't a strategy until last year when their veterans were bad and hurt. Why do we expect it to continue? You wanted Bundy to pitch more innings? Or injured guys?
