    For what its worth: mike sixel: Odds the Twins sign one of the better FA pitchers? They need three…..also, I can’t believe Verlander got a QO. That’s a ton of money for a guy with his recent history and age. 3:08 Ben Clemens: I think that the Twins will sign at least one pitcher in my top 25 list I have no idea if he meant top 25 overall (I think he did) or top 25 pitchers......but given my question, I think he meant overall. There are nine starting pitchers in the Fangraphs top 25.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2022-top-50-free-agents/

    wow.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Spielman does love his 6th/7th round picks.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Perfect example of how the mid-tier veteran in all sports is hurt by artificially low pre-arb pay levels. He's likely better than thos players, but costs a lot more than they will. He'll 100% be signed by someone.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Same.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'd ask for a trade for sure. I'd certainly be as unhappy as Kirk and Adam.

    They had to feed cook, you know.

    Once again this year, cousins leads them to a score at the end of the fourth quarter.....

    Surprised Zimmer didn't call timeout there to give the Ravens more time....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Just a horrible take. This is the coaches.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Just awful. He still has no idea how to manage the clock. None. After all these years.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Odd choice by the coaches. If he's not ready, that's on them at this point.

    My assumption is they play Cole. I'm good with Davis.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Bradbury out with Covid. Frankly, i got no idea what happened with him. EVERY single pre-draft guru / site / scout said he'd be an average NFL center..... Let's hope Cole can do the job.

    Whether fans crucify the FO office or not has no bearing on whether the FO did the right thing. I don't judge this FO based on what people here say..... My post was 100% clear they didn't "go for it", so I have no idea why you are quoting me. Like, none. I also have no idea what the Dodgers and Rays have to do with anything about this post. Nor do I agree that not winning the WS is failure. Success and failure is a dial, not a switch.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I mostly agree with this....but they didn't sit still. They tried to fill their holes, even if only with guys from the margins that were once good. As I said, they didn't quit or sit still, they did something to get better, even if only on the margins. Then they got lucky in several ways (the Mets imploding, for one).
  19. Mike Sixel
    I asked a former FO member about that last part on Twitter recently. He said it is folly to even try, given how little anyone knows about what goes on day to day. Clubs have a pretty good idea of how good their non-player personnel are, but almost no idea how good anyone else's is.

    Why was he allowed to not follow protocol? It really is harder and harder to root in sports. I don't want to only root for cloth. It makes me feel like I'm rooting for the owner. OTOH, man, teams are made up of good and bad (to me) individuals.......and I'm less and less interested in rooting for (too) many individuals.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I think the takeaway is simple. If you have a legit shot at the playoffs, you should go for it (at least somewhat), and not sit pat. You don't need to blow up the future. There are players to add that were once good, and might get hot/good again. You never know if you'll be in that position again (at least if you are most teams), so don't just sit still or give up. Try to get better, even if only at the margins. Atlanta got lucky, but that is largely the story of the post season, given the short nature of playoff series.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure if I should be proud, or wonder how I could spend so much time here..... Love the site, and community!
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd bring him back.....unless someone makes an insane offer. He's just that good. That said, two season ending injuries is tough. It is like he and Buxton are the same person.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I think Zimmer was worth a shot. I have no issue with the hire. I do have an issue with sticking with him the last two years, when it was clear, imo, that he was not learning and adjusting on offense and special teams.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Confirmed Hunter is out for the year.....sigh. This team is not going to be good...... I wonder how this effects his value? Two straight years not playing half the games (or none)......
