    I keep reading hitters are safer. Which player was in the majors, healthy, last year, Lewis or Greene? The Twins can't afford to sign an elite pitcher, and no one trades them..... Draft one.
  2. Mike Sixel
    That's not what I said. I said that if there are 4 open spots, those are likely it. I do think they need a legit SS.....I left that off by accident. I've also been quite clear in other threads they should sign CC and then deal Lee or Lewis as part of a package to get a number 1 or 2 pitcher.

    They've literally their highest payroll every year since this FO took over.....could be that the team has changed some over the decades....or not. Given how active they've been in the last 5 years, I don't agree they haven't done much to try to win. They just were wrong and unlucky last year. That's not the same as not trying. They traded for Gray. They signed CC. They then dealt prospects like they were going out of style at the break. Does that sound like a team not trying to win now?
  4. Mike Sixel
    At least 2 RPs and likely a SP. For me, I'd add corner OF, but that's only because I don't know the health of AK, Larnach, Buxton (might need Gordon or Celestino in center)....nor do I know their confidence level in Wallner (who I'd put at DH).
  5. Mike Sixel
    That was decades ago, and they now realize they make money......I really don't understand this post. What do you think, that they know they make money, or they are the same people as decades ago?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'm really surprised at the tone here..... The delta in likelihood of stardom at pick 5 to 13 is staggering when you look at the research. This is nothing to be anything but very happy about.
  7. Mike Sixel
    This. I believe they're are trying very hard to sign CC. But, like Aaron Judge, sometimes they won't succeed. I'll be disappointed if they don't, but I see zero evidence they aren't trying to win now.

    There one great pitcher left in free agency. He wants a six year deal. And several teams are bidding. A trade is much more likely.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Three or four good to great pitchers have signed. There were three great ones available. What, realistically, do you expect? Did you expect the Mets not to sign one? They acquired a number two in a trade last year......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Huge jump. Wow.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I mean, you'd have to put in more than just Arraez for that.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Rocco isn't making that decision.......so you'd have to get rid of the FO and the manager and others, I'd guess. Maybe even Max.
  13. Mike Sixel
    This. The Twins do NOT use him in CF anymore. I don't know why people keep saying he is available there. If you wait for minor league players to prove they belong, they never come up. Ever. You can't prove it in the minors.....so that argument holds no weight for me. Max hasn't hit well for a corner OF other than 1 year. His D is very good....but can't hit and he isn't healthy. I am not opposed to keeping him, but he's fine, maybe almost "good". But that's it, IMO. The minor league players have the potential to be much better hitters. NO ONE ran on Larnach after a few games last year. Wallner? I'm not going to judge him on D in 133 innings......Then there is AK and Celestino and Lewis (if they sign CC). He's going to give the Twins 1.5-2.3 WAR. Not great, not awful. I'm not sure that's enough to keep him around (assuming they use the savings on something).
  14. Mike Sixel
    We learned there is plenty of money to spend, if teams are willing.
  15. Mike Sixel
    There is one great pitcher left in free agency, and he wants a 6 year deal.......They are much better off signing CC and dealing one of Lee or Lewis as part of a package to get a great pitcher.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Rocco was talking about having dinner with him last week....
  17. Mike Sixel
    For his health, I hope they shut him down all year. Then, I guess, if they can find an independent doctor, let them decide if he should try again.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure your point......he was meh in 2020.....and bad in 2021.....and bad in 2022. To be clear, I think O, D, and baserunning all matter.......all of them.
  19. Mike Sixel
    No one is arguing he's enough to get one on his own.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Rosario wasn't a good hitter. Also, I'm not sure we'll ever agree on how to develop and manage people.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    the problems are pitching and hitting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than defense.
  22. Mike Sixel
    did I say that? If so, that's not what I thought I said. I thought I said I'd be willing to deal him for a top of the line pitcher (with others also leaving).
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand your point at all. Most teams aren't signing him, and I'm offering a way for the Twins to do so.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Another option is to say "Hey, the owners have told us to use $20 million of our BAM money as a bonus for CC." 20 million up front as a signing bonus, and $30 million a year for 10 years.
  25. Mike Sixel
    10 year deal first five years: $25 MM next five years: $20 MM Free agent after that....with deferred payments of $10MM per year for the next ten years. Biggest contract this year (until Judge signs) total dollar wise. I'd be happy to go to $30MM per year the first five years, and drop the deferred if needed (that would make it $7.5MM per year those ten dead money years).
