    which is literally waht the post that you quoted said......

    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.

    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.
  8. 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.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Hardly a ringing endorsement of MN's future.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    The original post said Washington did not go all in, they went all out........
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. Mike Sixel
    It is false they went all out. They raised payroll and added multiple free agents.
  14. Mike Sixel
    What does what Philly did have to do with Washington?
  15. Mike Sixel
    We aren't in July. If they are out of it in July, then sell
  16. Mike Sixel
    Who trades controllable pitching for a pitcher with one year left? And if they trade him for a prospect, they should sell the team.
  17. Mike Sixel
    This is the opposite of true. They signed the most expensive free agent pitcher last year. And others. Nothing about this post is accurate.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Sure. But what about this year?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. The Mets are not making their MLB team worse this year. They are adding to it.
  20. Mike Sixel
    . Because rookies aren't usually league average. Because the free agents have already shown they can be successful. Do you expect all three rookies to be good this year? Better than they could have signed?
  21. Mike Sixel
    No idea. They didn't sign any new starting pitchers. I don't know who is actually available for trade, and the history of trades shows not many good pitchers are traded..... As I've pointed out for some time. But then, I've posted what I would do, and not just said no to everyone else..... I guess my answer has to be trade for the best pitcher they can, assuming they think he's a number three or better.
  22. Mike Sixel
    They haven't added any of them that weren't already on the team, which is the point. But you know that. anyone ranked below Pineda is still likely to be better than three rookies. What would you have done? Not sign Ryu to 4 years, or any to 4 years or more. So, what would you have done, or do now?
  23. Mike Sixel
    The only one I don't like is Pressley. He was signed for another year, and they didn't have enough relief pitchers. The mistake with Lynn was not signing him earlier in the off season, so he'd be ready for the season. He's exactly the pitcher some of us thought he was in TX.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    24 of Fangraphs top 30 starting pitchers are off the market. This isn't only about the top end, but passing on the next tier, and the next tier.
  25. Mike Sixel
    no one is forgetting that.....but many said the lack of depth was a problem before either happened.....
