    I very much enjoyed this post

    Funny. No one ever looks at the early years of long contracts, and the extra value supplied then, they only look at the last years. Also, flexibility means nothing, if you won't spend money. Lastly, given his actions last year, why would Dozier resign here if they don't improve the team? Would make last year seem to not be real....

    Two leaders per young guy, almost have enough now.

    Making decisions based on spring training scrimmage games against AA and AAAA players seems like a bad idea. If only there were three years of data.....

    He asked to go to the minors last year, he didn't consent, he asked
  6. Mike Sixel
    Read the comments. And, he's been one of the worst pitchers in baseball for three years. This isn't a fluke.
  7. Mike Sixel
    People are seeing this as good? Speechless.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He was a great player. Now? If they can't afford to sign pitching, they can't afford to keep an ok first baseman.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Just like when some of us who aren't really basketball fans asked why teams didn't shoot more threes..... Seems obvious after the change... This is a cool article about the practical aspects

    No one here will be disappointed if the team is good. Seriously. The point holds for mid market teams, not sure why that was what you argued .
  11. Mike Sixel
    You think you are getting more than a top fifty prospect for him? I predict Dozier is gone after this year, another year of a great player wasted.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Where did he say give Dozier away? He said trade him for pitching. Do people think Brian will stay if they do nothing to fix the rotation? After how he reacted last year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    There are very few trades until the ASB, the 40 man is pretty set once the season starts until then.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I hope he's good. He might be their only hope this year.
  15. Mike Sixel
    They knew what they were getting into. They chose this. They aren't in a tough spot at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I thought you couldn't have a long term winning team, that small market teams went in cycles?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Almost no one throws 200 innings anymore. The game has changed. Why do people keep throwing that number out? He threw the 24th most innings in the game last year.
  18. Mike Sixel
    can we fold Santana's suspension in to predict how many innings he'll pitch this year?
  19. Mike Sixel
    If they ever actually do something to improve the team, then those of us questioning them are likely to compliment them. Some people are capable of both complimenting the good, and criticizing the bad. No one is saying the Twins lied, when we take about being sold hope. They never sign big free agents. They said Darvish was a priority. That creates hope. Losing out on that is disappointing, because they created hope where normally none would exist. Why is it hard to understand that some people would be disappointed?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Don't know why the Astros are dealing their depth. LA showed everyone how to use depth. Why not just sign lynn or Cobb, and keep the prospects?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather have the long term deal. Many here fear old pitchers. I'd think they would like opt out. I would have offered 6 150. And let Mauer walk next year. Plus, I was explaining chief's point, I think.
  22. Mike Sixel
    All those people are saying pitchers will decline. If now they won't be bad, then why not sign them? You can't say don't sign pitchers to long term deals because they will be bad for sure at the end, then say they only don't want bad players. Are you now seeing it isn't inevitable he declines?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that true if there is no opt out? I will try to explain what I think chief is saying. People don't want old players If you give an opt out... If he's good, he opts out, and you don't have an old player If he's bad, he stays If you don't give an opt out If he's good or bad, you have him when he's old. If you fear old players, an opt out should be viewed positively, especially if offering one reduces the salary...
  24. Mike Sixel
    . Next year, don't worry
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm betting anyone willing to trade for Archer will take span's money. I'm betting most teams don't like the other guy all that much.
