    None of those.
  2. Mike Sixel
    It's only going to cost more next year and the years after.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We'll never know.
  4. Mike Sixel
    If I'm not signing CC or Swanson, that's the best plan. Imo
  5. Mike Sixel
    Would you rather have ten good to elite years of CC and not signing a Gray level free agent in years 11-13 .....or have two or three second and third tier free agents every year? This appears to be your choices if you won't sign elite players.
  6. Mike Sixel
    We just cross posted that Polanco should get time at SS.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I offer Polanco at short.....when Farmer isn't there. Arraez or Gordon at 2B when that happens. Again, I'm placeholding for Lewis at this point. I am warming, slightly, to Swanson at this point. But I still don't know I do it.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Arraez was at his worst in September when the Twins lost the division.....but you love him and hate CC due to when they hit?
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think we are looking at a player that will put up an average of 3 fWAR per year for the next 5-7 years. What is that worth to everyone? Some years around 4, and some around 2.5. Fangraphs predicted 6/140+, and they've been low on every elite player so far......
  10. Mike Sixel
    At some point you have to trust yourself to draft and develop.......I share your concern on Lewis, and wonder if Lee is a 3B.....but you can't live in fear.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Because that is one average FA in years 11-13 (one total, not one per year). Would you trade one average FA in those three years for the certainty of CC being in MN for ten years, of which 5-7 are projected to be elite?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I agree 100%. Though I'd cut Donaldson before he could fly here.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Less than Turner got. That wasn't realistic at all. Just like Darvish a few years ago wasn't realistic.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Signing CC isn't about going all in for this year....he is likely to be elite for 5-7 years......
  15. Mike Sixel
    You are trading the certainty of the present, to give up one average FA in years 11-13......because that's what an average FA will cost then. What's more likely, that CC is great for 5-7 years with some value in the next three, or that one average FA will matter to the Twins in years 11, 12, and 13?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Going full on curmudgeon this year?
  17. Mike Sixel
    You can look at it this way..... 6 years of elite play 4 years of ok play nothing in the last three years In exchange, they get that, and give up an average FA in years 11-13.......because that's what an average FA will cost. Would you give up an average FA in years 11-13 (just one, not one each year) for the certainty of the present and elite play for 5-7 years? I would. That's all they are giving up in those last three years.....one average FA signing.
  18. Mike Sixel
    There is one FA SP that is an ace. he wants 7/210....... There are zero aces available in trade. I get it, I do. But where are you getting an ace?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Or, sign Swanson and deal one of those guys for pitching (not that I love Dansby, to be clear). Or, put Lewis in LF/CF (when Buck is hurt) and Lee at 3B and Miranda at DH/2B/1B. Lots of options here.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm ok with trading for a bad contract, if they don't plan on playing the player. I just think it unlikely. I wonder what Donaldson would be worth on the open market right now? He wasn't all that good last year. Maybe 8-10MM on a bounce back deal? So, ya, eating 60% sounds about right.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Like what? What is the "right cost"? I assume you mean the second tier of players, in which case we agree......but most of those are gone now too.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Is this a trick question?
  23. Mike Sixel
    That's me!
  24. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree the staff is incredibly bad at all. It has a very nice floor. Unfortunately, the ceiling is too low, IMO. I agree, I'd start over. I don't think the rebuild would be all that long, if Lewis is healthy and Martin is close to what many thought he was. Lewis, Lee, Martin, Miranda, Larnach, Buxton (part time) is a very good core. If AK is healthy and Wallner can DH, great! Julien might be a 2B if you are lucky (or DH with Wallner in right). I see some good stuff. I also like the SP core, as numbers 3-5 pitchers. I don't see the ace type, though I might, might, move their best RP to starter and see......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Oh, they'll sign some players......but they are more likely Lynn level than CC level at this point, IMO.
