    The genesis of the post you responded to was that the twins should sign Rodon, as he was less risky than CC..... I'd be good with either, but I prefer CC.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Which would you rather sign?
  3. Mike Sixel
    You'd rather pay 130 million for Rodon?
  4. Mike Sixel
    You'd rather the owner keep the money, and not pay players?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Sure, I'd rather have a better pitcher. Can people name an available one?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'd make that deal 100 times out of 100 if I'm Miami. I would not do that if I'm MN, no way.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Those three easily get Lopez. Probably an overpay.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but it also makes sense that if you think a guy is going to be good for 8 years, to sign him for 11 and spread the money out. Pretty sure that's what teams that signed the huge contracts this week did.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I would rather like to get Crawford and Bart on the Twins. I'd rather get CC, but Crawford is a good player, if old. And Bart? Worth a shot for sure. Was once THE GUY in the minors. I'd want another minor league player for Arraez in that deal, but I'd settle for just those two, I think.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd trade Polanco for him, that would be a steal for the Twins (given their position players and minor league players). So I doubt Miami would.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Rooker isn't a miss? We clearly have different definitions of that. I'm suggesting that the best player at 5 will want number 5 money....but I could be wrong.
  12. Mike Sixel
    How are Rooker and Enlow doing? Remember the excitement here? Ugh. Just Ugh. Draft the best player.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I just don't know where else they spend money that really changes the team.....the remaining FAs aren't AWESOME YOU NEED TO SIGN ME. Other than CC and maybe Swanson (but I think he'll provide too many years of less than star level play).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Maybe, but I'm not betting on that and punting the current year with Gray, Mahle, Maeda and others on the roster..... Not adding to this team is giving up on this roster, frankly. I recall when people said the Twins were all set up with Mauer and Morneau.....you just don't know the future health or production of any player. The division is still ripe for the taking. Go for it.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Some players do choose based on things in addition to money.....but I doubt if a guy is choosing between $8MM a year and 12 or 15 million a year, he chooses the lower money..... Great, expensive, players sign to play in small markets all the time (in other sports especially). I think it is pretty clear that money is the main driver......but that sometimes other things matter. Judge wants to be a Yankee for life. I get that. Turner wanted to be closer to home, I get that too (I'd rather be in SD, but hey, that's just me). Being close to family plays into things when you already have generational money.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Which two? There are zero stars havable at that price, any year. Also, sign CC and deal some prospects for a legit number 2 pitcher.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    You'd rather pay a pitcher (who I think is older) 180 million over six years? Brave.
  18. Mike Sixel
    You spelled won't wrong.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Yes, sorry.
  20. Mike Sixel
    So, the owners should keep the money and not pay players?
  21. Mike Sixel
    No doubt CC gets ten years, likely 32-35 million per year. I'm guessing SF or the Cubs.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Tatis will opt out after this year ... They aren't dealing anyone unless they get pitching back.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I hated all three of those picks. Agreed, they seem to have a pattern.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Where do you plan to get great pitching? It's not like Lewis or Buxton is healthy.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    If he's in the majors less than two years from being drafted, that would be amazing.
