    No one is arguing against development being the primary route to success. No one on this site ever has. Ever.
  2. Mike Sixel
    One or two cheap moves is fine. But in three years, they have emphasized value as a principle. That's fine, but not spending money on them in return is a valid response. Until they show they are serious about winning, I don't know why anyone is paying them money.

    I'm worried about him being bad, but not terrible. Then ten bad starts. I don't care about the 40 man spot at all. I want upside, not, well, he can always be cut, signings. YMMV, of course.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Does it matter? It's a tiny bit of money. The issue is the roster spot, imo.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Does this actually move the needle? And, those aren't the fallback options this year.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Maybe some of us want deals that are difference makers, not bargains or low risk. Difference makers.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Uninspiring to say the most.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Some of us think they can challenge, which is why we hoped for a trade of prospects for a good pitcher. Or three RP signings from a deep class. Other than Cruz, their signings are all about value.
  9. Mike Sixel
    My point was, they already proved themselves in 2017. Or do we think they need to be good two years in a row? In which case, they wouldn't try next off season either
  10. Mike Sixel
    That might be true. But, in 2017 the core was good. The Twins did very little in terms of adding to the team long term. They did add some short term deals, but no big names at all. So, I hope you are right, but fear you are not.

    People do realize that athletes don't necessary live where they play, right? Dave ST Peter literally said this is bunk, it's about years and salary.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Didn't the front office say it was a mistake to bring in guys later last year, because they were unhappy? Will it be different this year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    The core had a great year in 2017. The twins made no long term signings to supplement the core. All those holes exist again this year. Why do people think if the core is great this year, it will be any different? This is who they are. A team that does not spend money over the long term. Mauer was the exception.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Boston, New York, Chicago, Detroit.... They seem to attract people.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The Dodgers have all stars at third and short.... And other needs. I'm not sure what people expect at all. As for taking away good times, then judging players, zero Twins would pass that unreasonable test.
  16. Mike Sixel
    There's no evidence they'll sign big time free agents either. This ownership has no interest in even trying right now. No idea why anyone thinks this is a possibility.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I thought they were going to be contenders? Now they are going to be selling?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing one more relief pitcher, and out of the race by the ASB, and a sell off of pitchers.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Still waiting for them to sign a great pitcher.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't care about value. I want great players. They can cut anyone they want, as one year deals are the definition of sunk costs. Does anyone other than one poster think this is a difference maker?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Or an industry where employees can't switch companies for about ten years... Counting time in the minus minors. This is all part of the contract they agree to, and has nothing to do with accountability.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Great pitcher, or see what the youth can actually do. That's my preference.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I can't think of one reason they need an old player in AAA. Plenty of young players need time. They have three veterans already.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Cano has more than earned his money. It was a lot of bad decisions around him that hurt. Also, Houston becoming awesome fast. And LA falling into Trout.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Not adding players makes it a lot less likely they will be in it at the deadline. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.... When they sell off, they'll say they just weren't quite good enough....
