    At this level, I think people are over thinking taxes as an issue. I think guys want the biggest gross number when we are talking over 200 million. I really think people here over complicate this stuff.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Same mistake they made with Yu Darvish, who has been great.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Well said! Plenty of people here understand how it works.
  4. Mike Sixel
    You'd rather have two Gallo types?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Ah, gatekeeping fandom. The best.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Why would they give up prospects for a guy they hope Lewis replaces in three months? I don't understand this at all.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Because they wanted more money.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Miranda was already on the team. Playing at the same time as Urshela.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I hear Cohen has already bought that.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why shouldn't it be bandwagon? Why should people support bad teams? Bandwagon fans are closer to logical than those that support bad teams.
  11. Mike Sixel
    To do what with?
  12. Mike Sixel
    You can have one elite player, or two joey Gallo's and a guy close to the veteran minimum.... There sure are a lot of people in this board with inside information! That know what's happening! I'm utterly stunned by this development. Everything else is made up conjecture.

    Martin is not playing short in the majors. Lewis and Lee are already off him. Put him in left or center or at second. They are not seeing him up for success this way. Put your players in the best possible position for success.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Why?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Because they are making all kinds of cash right now? Because they actually like owning the team? It gives them a company to let their grandkids run for something to do? Who knows.
  16. Mike Sixel
    This is fascinating! Also, I bet he's still a Giant in a week. But, good entertainment!
  17. Mike Sixel
    If they can get Adames, they should. He's under control for three more years (or two, not sure. If two, then I don't trade for him). This is a fine set of ideas. I don't like Eovoldi as much as some here do, but I get why some do.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Fixed it for you.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Heaven forbid these guys try to make money. You want information, pay for it.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's somehow the FO fault Royce got hurt?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I think you 100% missed the point of this thread.
  22. Mike Sixel
    So they get no credit for Miranda and Arraez becoming good? None? Even though they've sunk lots of money and time into improving things? They also get no credit for trading for Ryan, because he wasn't in the system? Or trading the 18th pick, essentially, for two or three years of Gray?
  23. Mike Sixel
    So if the team plays badly, and they make trades, they are ripped for not keeping a mid-market team in contention every year, but we can't say "great trade?" TR never made those trades, he just kept the players. Tough crowd. Some people say they get no credit for trading for Ryan because they didn't develop him. Now they don't get credit for developing any of the previous FO players either. Tough crowd. The last two years are a wash, no one is up in the majors from that time frame. They've had, then, 4 drafts. How many hits and misses do you want? They traded one of those picks for Gray, no credit, I assume? Miranda has one year, so, no credit, because he hasn't proved it yet? That really only gives them 3 drafts, since we can't count the last two and the one before that those guys are only rookies and haven't proved it yet. Tough crowd. I'll say it again. They aren't perfect, not close. But this idea that the team is barren of talent is ridiculous. This idea that they haven't developed anyone is ridiculous. This idea that realizing the team is bad and trading for good prospects? No credit, because they weren't perfect at fixing the team in 4 years. This idea some have that Ryan wasn't developed here, so he's not part of the pipeline? That trading Gray for a HS pitcher at least two years away, not party of the pipeline. All I've asked for is for people to look at the whole picture. YMMV, of course. I have no issue with that. But some of the bars people expect them to clear seem ridiculous to me (not you).

    I feel like this is me on this site every day. I don't love all their moves, but they aren't all fireable offenses and the worst thing to happen to MN sports since (I won't name that for everyone's sake).
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's correct, IIRC......
