    Well, the Twins aren't rebuilt yet according to most people and projections. So, we don't know how long this will take.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm assuming the last relief pitchers they use this year will produce negative WAR, as they have nearly every year here, so we are looking at more than a 1 WAR gain. I'd like them to try to win. If they have other ways of doing that, great. But adding wins helps more than pocketing money, at least for fans. So, if they have another way, great! But treading water does nothing but use another year of control for this group up. So, if every idea I have is unreasonable, which it might be, what is your suggestion for actually winning? I'm not interested in another year or three of waiting. Other teams have rebuilt much, much, faster.

    Coincidentally, Harper and Machado are looking for thirty million.... On a serious note, I expect them to add one more inexpensive relief pitcher..... And end at 100 or so.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I might have last year, but not for two years of control, no. Three or more years? Probably.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Machado or Harper and one more relief pitcher puts them at around ninety wins, if you think they are at 83 or 84 right now. I agree, position players are more predictable. But, as we are seeing this year, needs and available talent don't always line up. It's why I am sceptical that waiting for everything to line up, then spend, will work. Because what if there is no difference matter at the position the twins need next year? Then what? Add talent. When you can. Wisely, but add it. Realmuto and Harper. Make it happen. Rosario or Kepler go to Miami, plus Gordon and any minor league pitcher other than whomever the twins like most. Then pay the money for Harper and a relief pitcher.

    Fair. Of course, others will say old players aren't the right place, nor are starting pitchers, nor any deal more than two or three years. That doesn't leave much....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Of course, you have to pick the right ones. So, pocket the money? I don't get why fans love owners making money, but call players greedy.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Given that every team is growing in value, and that in the last three decades no one has lost money on a sale, or had a hard time selling, and made huge proofs, the owners have plenty of money. Team values are rising faster than revenues or salaries..... No owner is going broke.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Nope. They have zero contracts past then. Zero.
  10. Mike Sixel
    What's the alternative you are suggesting? I must have misunderstood.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Good post. What's the projected WAR for the AAA guys that would be on those teams instead of them?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Given how they are picking up guys that were DFA by their previous team, and all but one is a bargain ... It looks like the same identity to me.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Being cheap is always efficient. Not usually effective....
  14. Mike Sixel
    His velocity also dropped. Not exactly awe inspiring. Good luck to him and the team he signs with.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If he can't live on three million, give or take, plus what he earns over the next ten years, something is very wrong with him.
  16. Mike Sixel
    He has lifetime security already. Now he's playing for MONEY. He'd be foolish to give up any free agent years right now.
  17. Mike Sixel
    What's a better solution, or are you condoning not adding more starters this year? Which is a fine stance, just curious
  18. Mike Sixel
    My wife also highly recommends it. I'll watch it someday.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's an interesting contract. Good for Seattle. No surprise to anyone he's on the West coast. Can't fault the Twins here at all.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Man, I was sure they were going to sign him.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm most interested in Romero, Cave, and Gonsalves. And am hoping that the system sends a legit starting, good, player next year.
  22. Mike Sixel
    In there too.... It seemed to me the last front office slow played them from A ball to AA, and then rushed them. Where I would rush them earlier, and really test them in AAA, where legit MLB and AAAA players are. But we'll see what the new guys do soon.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I literally said I agreed with his choice. How is that a dis? And why assume a negative? Why assume it was a dis? Baffled by this whole conversation.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Interesting, as I read just a few weeks ago it was younger.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The league is getting younger, that's just a fact. And no one is asking for Rooker to be an all star.... Plenty of players are promoted quickly these days, they seem to work out better elsewhere...
