    Who's hostile? I guess someone has been?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Where are those coming from? This is one of their starters now. They might add one more veteran.
  3. Mike Sixel
    As long as he's healthy some year when they bother having pitching...... So next year isn't important, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Cheap, short term, bad pitcher. That's all this from office signs. Ugh.
  5. Mike Sixel
    nothing can be completed during the lockout. I doubt they can negotiate, but some teams will, I'd guess.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ah, I misread your post. I thought it was about timing, not who they signed. If I was them, I'd have signed only 1 SS....
  7. Mike Sixel
    It's not about the money. It's about the options. They need a ton of relief pitchers this year. They need players that can be shuttled up and down.
  8. Mike Sixel
    You'd rather they pocket the money? These guys will be very good for years. I'm not sure it will work, but they are trying.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Who's playing CF in AAA? Cave or Celestino, because if it's Cave.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention Sano and Garver need time at 1B and DH (along with Kiriloff). The Twins have too many (or the wrong mix of) corner players.....it's that simple. Good thing they keep using early draft picks on them.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    There are plenty of Pineda quality guys out there still. I don't think it says anything other than teams aim high first.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they are making offers in bad faith. But it's clear they have no idea what a free agent pitcher actually is worth, assuming these leaked offers in past years were legit.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Funny how their offers to pitchers are always lower. That's no coincidence. I guess we'll just disagree.
  14. Mike Sixel
    So you think they think these offers that aren't ever close are realistic? That's much worse for the team.
  15. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to what? They have Martin, Lewis, Larnach, Kepler, Buxton, Rooker..... He's not a starter unless two of those are hurt or traded. One of Martin or Lewis is an OF long term or traded. Maybe both. At what point is he up? He's as good as Cave offensively, and better defensively.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Dang. He was my cheaper choice. Twins going to sit on their billions and do little. Sigh.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They had a tiny payroll. They could just pocket money, or not.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They can offer unrealistic packages and leak them......
  19. Mike Sixel
    They've been linked to top free agents forever. They've signed a few, in decades.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe anyone is playing football with a torn labrum. That's nuts. I hope he takes care of his body.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Yawn. They've been linked to more people than Lindsay Lohan over the years......
  22. Mike Sixel
    By this logic, every signing could come with regret. They could sign anyone, and that player could get hurt, or just be bad. They could sign Ray for $15MM a year, and he could get hurt.....should we look at that signing and judge it when it is done, or after the fact? If after the fact, then we just don't agree on how one should judge people's actions. Which is fine. It isn't irrational to look at the deal, with the knowledge we have at the time it was signed, and think it is a good deal.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Wow. But sure, they just don't have any money anymore...... No one should fall for the owners crying poor, but they will because US sports fans....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'd prefer martin in left full time. Unless they really think he's a shortstop. I'd prefer Celestino be the backup, certainly over Cave. They didn't play Kepler there last year, so I'm guessing he's not there this year.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. It was the right decision. I guess we could be disagreeing over the pedantic meaning of regret. If only we could, as Chief is, enjoy them doing what most of us wanted, and not get all, something, about the future...
