    I am always amused at posts that love financial flexibility, but insist actually using that flexibility to sign good players is a bad idea...... A payroll of 106MM would be awful messaging, not to mention likely not all that good a team. The window isn't open next year if they don't have any good pitchers...... Odo can get 18MM for 1 year. Unless he thinks he's going to get injured, he should be pretty confident of around 15MM a year after that, given he'll have no draft pick tied to him after 2020. Why would he take such a small deal?
  2. Mike Sixel
    The post I responded to stated one year deals are exactly what the TWins should be doing....not one, one year deal...... I have no issue with one, one year deal. I have issues with multiple one year deals. Nothing more or less.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I like this option, as long as they also acquire two starters on multi year deals. They can't afford to be in this position again next year, only having 1 year deals on 80% of their rotation....
  4. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to argue they need payroll flexibility in the same post you argue they shouldn't sign players to long term deals.....what good is payroll flexibility if you won't use it? How do you propose they fill four-seven rotation spots this off season, without spending money (and still be a great team)?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not committing to the future is how you need four new starting pitchers going into a new year....they don't need more of that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    You think it is LIKELY that a minor league pitcher will be better than Berrios? I don't even know how to respond to that.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Odorizzi isn't on the roster right now, which is what the post I responded to was talking about.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Nineteen qualified hitters hit over .300 last year... Expecting Arreaz to do that seems suspect. Could happen, but I'm not sure it is likely.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Five and two thirds would be more innings than the average MLB start last year. I don't think people realize how few innings starters are throwing.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Also ditto on this one.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Was going to type up a long reply, but I'll just say ditto to this one.
  12. Mike Sixel
    People should look at the lists of free agents out there, and see where national sites have Gibson. Remember, most of those articles are written with anonymous team input.... There aren't a ton of great options, which is kind of a problem when you don't have anyone on your roster but Berrios.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Only Berrios is better at this point. I have no idea what that first sentence means. The other guys might eventually be better, but not one of them is as ready to help win baseball games as a healthy Gibson to start the season next year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Of course they should if they are confident the disease is under control. But I'd rather have Odo, Wheeler, and someone they trade for they like more than Gibson. If they can't get those three, then Gibson makes sense if he's healthy.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Congrats! And I agree with the second place vote for sure. All those injuries....
  16. Mike Sixel
    This is not a plan I would endorse. Way too much given up, and not enough added. If Betts had three years left? Maybe. But I'd rather they sign pitching or trade for it. Price is hurt.... No way Odo signs for that tiny amount either.
  17. Mike Sixel
    From what I've read a large percent of players don't want to play close to where they grew up, so I think fans over rate that sometimes.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Because they didn't get him. That's literally what passing on getting him means. They passed on whatever price they would have had to pay. That's what a good to great, young, pitcher will cost, minimum. Like I said, it's hard to see how anyone that young and good will be dealt again any time soon.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They could have traded for Gallen last year, and passed. Not sure what other young, really good, pitcher will ever be traded....
  20. Mike Sixel
    They are seventy million below the number you posted. You also posted they should not sign expensive free agents. They have one starting pitcher on the roster. What should they do?
  21. Mike Sixel
    They'll just be in this same spot again next year.... Needing two or more pitchers
  22. Mike Sixel
    What's the alternative for this year? Punt?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Boston won. They have been great for over a decade. The Cubs won, and have been in the playoffs three years in a row until this year. The dodgers have been great. What do you expect? Btw... How are the cheapest teams, other than Tampa, doing? How many cheap teams pass your WS winning test, if that's the criteria?
  24. Mike Sixel
    No one said do it all the time. And you can't convince me that every trade for a veteran is for an underpaid veteran. No way.
  25. Mike Sixel
    By that logic, you wouldn't trade a minor league player either. But teams do.
