    There's nothing "willy nilly", and insulting me isn't helpful. I've been reading about Gore since before he was drafted, and since. Nothing desperate about trading for the number 1 pitching prospect in the game....nothing at all. How do we know that keeping Lewis isn't the mistake? Again, what is your alternative? You say no to pretty much every idea, what is your idea.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea if they made a mistake or not, but I'd trade Lewis for Gore without hesitation.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'll ask again, what should they do this off season?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I agree. If you won't sign the best free agents, you need to draft pitchers early. This team doesn't do that. They also have yet to trade for a big time pitcher. So, what should they do this year, with this team?
  5. Mike Sixel
    They are thirty million under, and lose Cruz, Odorrizi, and likely Rosario next year. If they added twenty or twenty five million, who couldn't they sign to an extension? They aren't signing Garver, he's a few years away and a catcher. That leaves Sano, Berrios and Buxton to sign in the next three years.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    That was his point
  7. Mike Sixel
    odo was not a free agent...but he did decide to stay for $17MM. I think he regrets that, given the market.... (not that he regrets staying here, but it looks like he'd have gotten PAID).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Progress isn't linear. Berrios was a legit number 2 last year, I have no idea what you want/expect from him. With a tiny bit of improvement, he'd be one of the 10 best starters in baseball. That said, those stats look pretty consistent, so we just might have to settle for 4.x fWAR a year from him, and him being one of the 20 or so best pitchers in the game......../s

    I was trying to think of how a trade like this would work. Year three is the bummer year of the deal..... Twins could send Eddie to someone else, that team sends a prospect to Boston (not a highly ranked one) and MN gets Price. MN adds a lot to the budget, Boston cuts a lot and gets a 40 FV prospect or so, and another team gets Eddie. If Price makes 20 or so starts a year and is good, that's a good trade. Big if.

    And Martin Perez might not have a major league job. It cuts both ways.
  11. Mike Sixel
    No, but the Twins decided to sign Pineda.......and he comes with that baggage. IF they are willing to cut bait in spring training, I'm fine with this idea. I'm not fine with it if they stick with them to start the year, and they look anything like they did last year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    but they could be worse, and in the meantime, you've likely given them all of Pineda's missed starts. You might miss out on giving a chance to a guy that turns out to be good right now, at no money...... Like Arraez last year, one of those guys might surprise us and turn out to be ready right away.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not if the Mets are trying to win. And, they played in the best division in the game, and played well last year. No way they should be dealing one of those guys.
  14. Mike Sixel
    the rule five draft has been pretty much a non-factor since they changed the rules. I have no idea why people here get so worried about it anymore.
  15. Mike Sixel
    So, what player that is available has been great against the Yankees?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone is ignoring him as the 5th option.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. If I can get Price, and trade howeveryouspellhisname......I probably do that. Maybe. I'm quite nervous about his elbow, so I'd want him to be surrounded by three guys I trusted (which he would be THIS year).
  18. Mike Sixel
    Did you read the link I posted.....you might find it interesting.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Blech.

    Why would the Rockies do this for low level prospects?
  22. Mike Sixel
    He has almost no excess value. Just sign one of the expensive third baseman instead, and keep your prospects.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The dollars are right in line with the last few years.....the two great players got the same moneyish as the two great hitters last year, and the Wheeler looks like Corbin/Darvish money.....or middle tier money like last year. This has been the price for 2-3 years now.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Which kind of shows the folly of waiting until just the right moment to add good players.....they might not be there in the year you waited for. The Twins have historically played the risk game in one way: Choose the least financial risk, while accepting that there may be considerable downside risk in playing mediocre players. That's fine, it's their company. But I'd really like them to make an upside play at some point. This was that point. Great hitting team, with lots of money available (and money coming off the books next year), and 5-6 good starting pitchers available (they had no chance at the top two, but those two meant two other teams were not pursuing the other 3-4).
  25. Mike Sixel
    It is true, different players have different needs/wants. But we are looking at a pattern of over two decades of not signing big time free agents (from a cost perspective). It isn't a one off thing at that point, it's an organizational philosophy. It could still change this off season, there are still two really good pitchers left....
