    So you side with the billionaire owners? Not me
  2. Mike Sixel
    About half the time iyn my phone today there had been an ad over the next button at the bottom of threads
  3. Mike Sixel
    Yellich just went for more than that.....i think you have to do better than gonsalves for your second piece.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Who is better that is available? Do people think the Twins will outbid everyone next year? Do people think Dozier will stay if the Twins don't get help, after last year? This is one more year of Buxton and Sano. I would prefer they actually try to win while those two are both here.

    Relatively young players like Archer are not free agents. How is it better to trade players, than to spend only money?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Serious question... You'd rather the owners pocket the money, than make the team better? Because there aren't many young free agents, ever.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I don't either, but IMO, you still need to sign/acquire better players. He's a start. He's here and effective, imo barring injuries, for 3-4 years. That is really big, given the window of Sano, Buxton, Rosario, Polanco, Kepler.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Gonna be hard if Gonsalves and Romero gradutate to have a top five, imo. It's also possible Gordon gradutates, though that is less likely, I believe.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Nope, no implication of dishonesty at all. I really have no idea what they are trying or not trying. I just don't care if they are trying. As a fan, not shareholder, not friend of them, not anything other than fan, I want entertaining, winning, baseball.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I bet Cobb and Lynn are waiting it out at this point.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It is not their job to try to improve the team. It is their job to improve it. Danny Santana tried, didn't mean we should judge him as good or praise him for trying. I will judge them on progress, not being in on players. Others feel differently, that's cool with me.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why? Why not put him in AAA? I expect him to be in the majors this year, when someone is hurt, or as a RP to get his feet wet int he late summer.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. He's not signing for less than 125-150MM.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Meh....we were told for years they were in on Cubans. Being "in on" a FA means little, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    ESan worries me the most....not because I think he will regress for sure, but because even if they sign a SP (or trade for one), his contribution is not easily replaced at all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but that's not what people are posting....they are posting the Twins' offense is fine w/o him.....like he just wouldn't be missed all that much. That is very different than what you just typed.
  17. Mike Sixel
    This isn't he NFL or NBA where the offense is very dependent on teamwork. Would you rather have a guy that might be one of the best hitters in baseball, or Escobar, hitting? That kind of post hoc analysis is how teams and fans make bad mistakes.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe people think it's no big deal if Sano is out for 20-30 games. He's their 2nd or 3rd best player when he's just a shell of himself. When he's really hitting, he's their first or second best player. He has the ceiling to be one of the top players in all the game. Missing him is a big deal. As for Grossman vs Vargas. Ugh. Here is a weird idea....sign Cain (if they don't sign Darvish they have the money). Have him spell Kepler against lefties, and spell Rosario and Buxton occassionally. Have him DH when he's not in the OF. Have Sano (when he's back) DH when Cain is in the OF. It will never happen, but this team would be much better that way.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Why do people keep talking about 200 innings? Almost no one pitches 200 innings anymore. 15 pitchers hit that mark last year. Darvish pitched the 24th most innings of all starters last year. That's not good enough?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Darvish, they don't need two ok starters....imo.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you haven't looked, KLAW is a real fan. Has him #47, and thinks he's better control/use of the changeup from being a mid rotation starter.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but those aren't the only options for that role.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why is the long man so important to some people? When you need a long man, you are most likely losing the game. Duffey is either a starter, or better RP. If he's just the long man, they, imo, wasted his talents.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Looks like my tiny bet on litecoin is about to go from 300% up to in the red! Glad I didn't bet more. Otoh.... Even though they laid me off, UNH keeps on returning money for me. That's much more important.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Where was that even discussed? I would consider trading him in a package, if high end pitching came back, but that has nothing to do with this at all.
