    uh, the white sox. Unless you think filling 3-5 of your holes with new players isn't moving forward. And the Angels, and he Yankees. It isn't just about winning a division.

    I'd look at the last two trade deadlines, and the lack of action this year, and ask to be traded. Professional athletes are competitors unlike most others on the planet. They have to be to rise to the top of the pack like they do. I'm guessing there are some unhappy players in MN now (guessing being the key word, of course). This looks exactly like when Torii and Johan said the future never comes.

    If you stand still while everyone else moves forward.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    The Mets aren't trading Thor, not unless Buxton and / or Sano are in the deal, plus prospects.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's more than 10 million a year more, for a less healthy guy.....it's a way worse risk. Way worse.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Uh, they spent that money on other players.......like Corbin. They did nothing of the sort of "going all out". Not even close.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Because he misjudged teh market, I'd guess. He's got to be kicking himself for not taking a shot at 4-5 years at 18-22 million per. kicking himself.

    Why would Odo sign here? We are told FAs don't want to come here....why would he want to stay?
  9. Mike Sixel
    They passed on just spending money...... And not prospects. But sure, if they suddenly trade for a great pitcher, things can turn around. You think they will?
  10. Mike Sixel
    MLB had it's seventeenth straight year of record revenues this year......
  11. Mike Sixel
    The Royals have drafted terribly. They aren't this bad because of a few trades. If they still had those players, they probably aren't great right now anyway. Is that better?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Not only this year. But yes, winning this year is part of the goal. I've been 100 percent consistent.... They can't keep going year to year on pitching.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ray is signed for one year? So, again, in the same spot next year, Odo and Ray will be free agents.... I'll take Ray, but it's another short term band aid.
  14. Mike Sixel
    They prioritize money over winning is not the same thing as wanting to lose. Business is all about setting priorities, and in the history of this team, it's fairly clear that winning is not the top priority. Which is cool, they should make money. The question is, is there ever a time to spend more, increasing the odds of winning more, assuming you trust the FO to spend well. Which I mostly do.

    I was literally replying to a post about trading for a good starter, and how hard that is.
  16. Mike Sixel
    So, pretty much the Twins before this last season?
  17. Mike Sixel
    How many number two pitchers have been traded in the last four or so off seasons?
  18. Mike Sixel
    20 of the top 27.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but the timing is off for this year and possibly next.
  20. Mike Sixel
    In support of the belief that the Twins may have somehow failed Buxton by not letting him fail......and in support of my argument that players should be promoted faster as a rule..... Weenie 12:43 Do you think Dipoto seems to be a little too aggressive with promoting his prospects? White, Lewis, and Dunn haven’t played AAA and Sheffield struggled there last year, yet Dipoto seems to imply that all 4 are likely to have an opening day roster spot. Eric A Longenhagen 12:44 No, I think more and more teams are pushing guys until they fail, then slowing down, and I think this strategy is appropriate. I'm not sure the PCL is great for dev.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Also, just no on Hamilton.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The pen does look like it will be one of the better ones. I like the odds one of the AAA/AA pitchers really steps up in the bullpen this year also. Of course, they need to get to the 6th inning first.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not bad. And one year makes sense.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I literally have no idea what this post means.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure how a salary cap helps with the "no one wants to come to MN" problem. Do the Twins have a disadvantage compared to higher revenue teams? Yes....yes they do. But they've chosen to be in this business, and it is their job to overcome those disadvantages. Or not. They can choose to ride that space of spending just enough to be just good enough, and hope to get lucky occasionally. Also their choice how they invest.
