    Other than a small number of posters,I think most are ok with young guys filling the last spot. But that has little to do with Hill and Bailey. Also, Pineda and Hill missing the first quarter and half year..... Means more young guys starting.

    Garver is a catcher and can't be a free agent for years. You don't sign relief pitchers to long term deals. Arraez has played half a year and doesn't need extending any time soon. And Cruz and Rosario come off soon. They aren't near 130, either. Which is still lower than fifty percent of revenue. People keep talking about preserving flexibility, and the team keeps not using it..... Other than pocketing it.

    The money isn't gone. It's in the owner's pockets. Not the players. Or the employees.

    And Jay. And Gordon.

    If you don't use the money, what is financial flexibility for? For years, people here told me that I shouldn't judge the Twins' draft picks in the 20s harshly, because I shouldn't expect much. That it wasn't really possible for a mid market team to have sustained success, that it went in cycles. Now? I'm supposed to believe that I was right, that a team good at drafting and trading and developing can have sustained success? Which is it?

    The bet is not doing something better, not the money. The money is irrelevant.
  7. Mike Sixel
    No chance they do this. Too much money, or too much in prospects.
  8. Mike Sixel
    At those prices, why not bring back Gibson?

    So, nothing has changed. Inexpensive free agents. No trading of big time prospects. The opposite of Houston. For three years, this board said things would be different. I hope this works, and they are great this year.

    Long term solutions found! I have no idea if it works for this year, but they are setting themselves up to be pitching poor next year, again.

    Sigh. We spent last year watching the first half of Battlestar.... And now it is no longer free with prime. I can pay to watch it, or watch "free" stuff.....

    Even my son that doesn't like fantasy much liked witcher

    Knives Out was very good
  14. Mike Sixel
    which is literally waht the post that you quoted said......
  15. Mike Sixel
    To long term deals......not one year deals. They also played in the hardest division in baseball. Not the easiest. No one is saying the signings for the Sox are guaranteed to work out, and make them a 90+ win team. All anyone is saying is that they are likely a lot better than they were last year. Both in terms of growth from their young players, new additions in FA, and graduating 2 of the top 10-20 prospects in the game.

    It's not the end of the world, but I'd worry the message is "good coaches will always leave here for bigger programs".....and if you are a blue chip recruit, do you want to take that risk? I have no idea.....but I'd think not.
  17. Mike Sixel
    So, they should just realize they don't have a realistic shot and sell to a team that can generate more revenue? People have acknowledged over and over that they cannot spend like the big revenue teams. You said they should sign a good free agent earlier this year, they had the money. What should they do now?

    How many winds did the twins have in 2018?

    "we really like our internal options"

    Hmmmm. This Tweet doesn't match your numbers. Also, until Zips is totally released, and we can look at Zips and Steamer, I need more data.
  21. Mike Sixel
    But yes, Philly is going for it. And, as I've pointed out, since they signed players this year, they didn't lose that all important "financial flexibility" last year.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hardly a ringing endorsement of MN's future.......
  23. Mike Sixel
    The original post said Washington did not go all in, they went all out........
  24. Mike Sixel
    There are no FA possibilities left....I think that's what people mean when they say there is nothing left. Nearly all the trade candidates are only signed for 1-2 years, so the TWins payroll guys should like that. Of course, that means you are in teh same position again next year, needing 1-3 starting pitchers.
  25. Mike Sixel
    What's your plan? Not what shouldn't they do, what should they do, now that they did not sign a FA, which when the off season started, you were for?
