    While a decent number of relief pitchers have signed, there are still some out there. I'm not worried yet.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I wish the front office shared your optimism and surrounded the core with a good player or four.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I have strong interest in winning the lottery......
  4. Mike Sixel
    My second most coveted FA this year, but he's going to the Dodgers, Giants, or Mariners, I'd bet.

    It should have been obvious to everyone that Hughes was done. If not, the FO has serious scouting issues. Serious. A team that wants to build through the draft and IFA and trading vets for 45 value prospects sold a 2nd round pick. It was all about money, money they aren't going to spend this year.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'll try again.... If teams thought this, why wasn't he traded for top prospects? Multiple.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Not only that, they traded a valuable draft pick to do so.... Which makes no sense if you entire strategy is to build thru the draft nearly exclusively.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Those outcomes come from bad decisions, and being frugal. Good pitchers are available. That said, you are close to convincing me to consider your idea.

    You also make longer commitments to reduce uncertainty. If you have a roster of guys who can leave, it's pretty hard to plan for the future. To answer Nick, if I thought he'd have an era under four for the next few years, of course I'd sign him. But if anyone thought that, it would take more than palacios to acquire him.
  10. Mike Sixel
    No chance. He's a number four or five starter. Why pay for that? And why are we worried about money? They have less than fifty million committed past 2020. Are we trying to win, or win the efficiency prize?
  11. Mike Sixel
    It's about secondary offerings, not durability.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I've certainly read a national writer or two that think he's a GREAT fit for high leverage reliever, and only an OK fit for starter.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm more worried they are eyeing JC Penney.....but that's a great analogy. Spot on.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You realize these are the predictions they made going into last year, right?
  15. Mike Sixel
    That should be next year, then, since they don't look like contenders.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    let's say he's good again next year. That would be 2.5 good years, in the majors. Who is more likely to be good, a SP with that track record, or anyone they have in the minors?
  17. Mike Sixel
    I concur on Mejia, not sure how I feel about not liking stacking. IMO, if you can't find 4 good starters, stacking makes sense, if you are trying to win or find out who might be good in a year or two....but almost no team has tried this yet. So maybe the AAA shuttle just won't work like I think it will. But, we agree on Mejia, give him a shot to start.
  18. Mike Sixel
    All good reasons. Of course, he may want to compete and play for a good/great team in the next three years. He also may get more money on the market....athletes tend to bet on themselves. If he likes MN, he should sign an extension, happiness will mean more than a few extra million. If not, he should go the FA route.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Probably, but it isn't only up to them. People say all the time FAs don't want to come here, why would Gibson stay, and not test FA?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Not a lot of good long term options left, I don't think, in free agency. Somehow they need to find three or four starters in the next two years. Seems daunting.
  21. Mike Sixel
    welcome to the site. If the Dodgers will give the Twins one of their top catching prospects for taking Kemp, I do that. They can have prospect number 30 or so in return.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Don't you have to have success, to sustain it?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I would have taken a flyer on Jay if I was a really bad team. Why not?
  24. Mike Sixel
    This. Diaz was a mistake from day one.
  25. Mike Sixel
    How many WAR have the AAA pitchers the Twins have used instead of acquiring outside help compiled? Because I guess that's what you are suggesting? And, I'm not only talking about the last three years, nor am I only talking about pitchers, as I literally praised the Castro signing in the post you are responding to. I also said one or two year deals....they were all praised as bargain signings, and they all worked out poorly. Castro was not seen as a bargain, but fair, deal, and he worked out the first year and got hurt. Sometimes players get hurt. Last year I asked for another OF to be signed, so he could sub in and DH. Some of those players worked out last year......and some of them will work out this year.
