    zippy 12:25 Gordon, Jay, and Granite for 2 years of Cole - Do you make that trade if you're the Twins or try to sub out something for a lesser prospect(s)? Eric A Longenhagen 12:27 I wouldn't be confident in Jay's ability to stay healthy and would be asking for Gonsalves instead. 12:28 And I prefer Wade to Granite, but if Pittsburgh thinks Granite plays a killer CF then that makes sense. He could play CF until Meadows shows he's healthy and ready and then move into a 4th OF role.

    My least favorite option. Just not a believer
  3. Mike Sixel
    To realize that puts Sano and Buxton another year closer to free agency? Eventually you have to try to win.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Aren't minor leaguers really the magic beans, and veterans the cow here? Hardly any minor league players make a serious contribution in the majors.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It doesn't happen to every team that they waste a roster spot for dozens of games on a rule five player.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Never going all in is no better. That's how you get Tyner at DH.....or a bunch of one and outs.
  7. Mike Sixel
    If they don't add any great pitching, and the odds are five percent or even ten, that they make the playoffs, should they just start trading players off this off season? I hope not....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Great. Should the twins pocket money, or spend it less than perfectly efficiently?
  9. Mike Sixel
    You really didn't answer the question. Is it better the owners pocket the money than it be spent inefficiently? Morris signed the largest FA contract ever, at the time.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on willingham for sure.
  11. Mike Sixel
    This is the same strategy, isn't it? Sano and Buxton are here three or four more years. Should they just punt this next one, and keep waiting?
  12. Mike Sixel
    The math is all over the Internet. It's why teams like young players, because old players cost money to buy or keep.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Again... Who cares? Is it better the owner pockets the money than they spend it less than perfectly efficiently? Because that is pretty much the alternative
  14. Mike Sixel
    Very, very, few players under thirty are ever free agents. Good luck if that is your rule. Go look at the lists the last few years, and see who makes your cut.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Good free agents aren't signing short deals. So, only flyers or old or bad free agents?
  16. Mike Sixel
    So, basically, never sign a free agent and the owner pockets the money? We worry a lot about efficiency, but if the alternative is more profit, how is that good?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Spot on.
  18. Mike Sixel
    How about this off season? Can we expect them to buy now? Or keep waiting?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Is the window open this year to try to win now? Or, should we wait another year to see pitching? Crushing it seems a bit over the top. They've added a bunch of c level prospects and had one draft. Other than that, not much has happened in the player acquisition front, imo. Nice work, but little earth shattering.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Where are they rated high? If they didn't like any of the available foreign players or the braves players, this is a fine, if unexciting use of the limits
  21. Mike Sixel
    We won't agree. They reneged on the deal to try to get ohtani. Not exactly the moral high road.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No. They spent no money at all. They sent the right to spend money away. If they freely there were no good prospects to sign, this kind of trade makes sense.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why would they sign him, if he can't play baseball because he failed his physical?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Zero reason to sign Mauer more than year to year, at the end of any given year. He's not going to another team.
  25. Mike Sixel
    They signed a contract. That they voided to try to get ohtani. Do people really think he had vision issues so bad he can't play baseball? He may have vision issues, but anyone want to bet on if he signs with someone and plays next year?
