    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?
  2. Mike Sixel
    There are very few trades until the ASB, the 40 man is pretty set once the season starts until then.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I hope he's good. He might be their only hope this year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    They knew what they were getting into. They chose this. They aren't in a tough spot at all.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I thought you couldn't have a long term winning team, that small market teams went in cycles?
  6. 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.
  7. Mike Sixel
    can we fold Santana's suspension in to predict how many innings he'll pitch this year?

    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?

    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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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?
  12. 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...

    . Next year, don't worry

    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.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Opening day? Like, if they do nothing between now and the day before opening day, no biggie? They have also shown no ability to fix the rotation. They didn't last year, and they didn't during the season, and they have not this year. I also fail to see anything good about losing their second best pitcher for at least five starts....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I shouldn't panic over missing Santana because he's not going to be that good? That's part of the good news? They have no number two, or three, starter right now. When should fans worry? If Darvish is worth more than 21 million the first two years, do we only count the latter years for judging the deal?
  17. Mike Sixel
    More than anyone would pay. He's one of the top pitching prospects in the game, and ready now. There is zero reason to trade him other than an insane return.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The Twins don't need Dodger money to be better. No one is adding for that. I like Cobb the best, of the remaining free agents. I would deal Kepler and Gordon and a minor league pitcher for Archer. Then sign Gomez to replace Kepler.
  19. Mike Sixel
    We literally have no idea what anyone offered, other than the Cubs.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Sure, teams sign guys that don't work out. They also hope every prospect will work, or make bad trades. Doing nothing carries risks in the win loss side, if not the budget side
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure what the point is of this post is....my point about Darvish, who is not from MN and probably wants to live where there are more Japanese (though we don't know that) and/or more diversity than you can find in MN.....is that MLB players don't actually spend that much time in their home cities. And, almost all the school year is not the MLB season.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Exciting for sure.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure why he'd live in MN in the off season......an MLB player is only in town for 3-4 months, max. There really is no reason to live there, if you don't want to. I don't think we know what he wants, but if I had to guess, MN and Mil are not the top of the list.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I read the other day there was a fund that existed that went up when the market was not volatile.....it lost 90% of its value, and no longer exists. Ouch. If you were a magician, and could predict these swings, you'd be rich!
  25. Mike Sixel
    At this rate, I'm going to owe money for every share I own!
