    I don't agree. They can try to implement changes, see how well the existing people do under the new system then make necessary moves. You just don't fire everyone when you take over an organization. This article is great news, imo. I think they've been behind on development for some time. I'd like to lead. Start with providing proper nutrition, for free, to every minor league player (paid for by the Twins, not the minor league teams). Add in better training (like above) and individualized plans for development (with a core philosophy behind it). That's how successful orgs run, and I, for one, am glad to read this.

    Not me, but I can see why someone would want to.

    I think Seth has it correct, to start the year. Once the season starts, it will depend on whether or not Murphy and Garver hit (assuming health, of course).

    Great article. Really well done here. Thank you.
  5. Mike Sixel
    They also said not to get too attached to any current Twins......
  6. Mike Sixel
    Uh, I agree completely. OTHER people are posting they are 1 SP away from the playoffs.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Meh. Not exactly exciting, but not bad either. Cheap, might be decent, RP on a 1 year deal. I mildly endorse this mild move.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Welcome to the site! Solid base hit with your first post!

    Wishing i hadn't now.....

    Several people have posted that once these young players mature this year, and they acquire one more legit SP .... that the team is a playoff team. Those are the exact people that I have asked why Ryan was fired. I have not asked anyone else. I have not implied everyone believes that. I have not stated that everything was working fine. Not sure how this is about me, rather than the question to those that have stated it....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I was just trying to understand.... I like both the ESan and Castro signing (assuming those are two of what you meant). I am trying to guess the other unsuccessfully right now.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Aren't all those working, if they are 1 FA SP from being in the playoffs? I think it's a legit question, if people think the system is a playoff caliber system, why fire the GM?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I have posted the Ryan question, to those that say we just need the young guys to improve, and the team will finish aroun .500 or better, and they just need to sign 1 big time pitcher to be in the playoff hunt......if all that is true, then why fire the guy?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that pretty much what everyone is typing?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Dave, how do you invest in bitcoin? I'm looking at gbtc, for example....
  16. Mike Sixel
    It is true, I dropped NFLX for NVIDA, which tripled in price last year.... edit: bragging while I can, since I usually suck at this.
  17. Mike Sixel
    You type that, and I type shopify .....someday they'll listen, Dave.
  18. Mike Sixel
    so they can't sign good FAs ever, or just when they are bad?
  19. Mike Sixel
    that's a fair stance. If they are really bad this year, and don't sign any FAs next year can I be disappointed?
  20. Mike Sixel
    One can be disappointed in an outcome, even if that outcome makes sense. Is that hard to understand? I expected a trade. Didn't happen. Disappointed. I expected 1-2 RPs to be signed. Didn't happen so far. Disappointed. I thought they might sign a flyer SP, not sure how I feel about this not happening frankly. I hoped Molitor would be replaced, didn't expect it at all. Disappointed. Now, just because it may have been a good idea to keep Dozier, given the offers....doesn't mean one can't be disappointed that it didn't happen. I really don't know how to make that more clear.
  21. Mike Sixel
    the post said FAs won't sign with bad teams.....that was what the post said. We have seen that isn't true, heck, just a few short years ago, the Cubs were bad (and now are WS champs.....), and FAs signed with them that following year. The post wasn't about if the team got better, the post clearly said FAs don't sign with bad teams. Which, given that they do every year, is clearly not true.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, that wasn't the point I was rebutting, was it? He said they didn't do more, I asked if 4 moves were more than 1 or not. and yes, I agree that at this point, there are no FAs that thrill me, all the ones with huge upside are gone already. At this point, I doubt any FA move would help this year or beyond. Could happen, unlikely imo. I did and do endorse the one MLB FA they signed. I do think he'll help the pitching. I personally would have liked a successful trade, and one more FA signing. And no, I can't say who for sure, because anyone I name, someone will say why it isn't realistic.....which argument I'm tired of having.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure anyone is asking it to be fixed in one season, what some are asking is, why hasn't that started at all? Now, I think they will deal ESan at the break, unless he struggles, and will get pitching in return. I have my doubts Dozier is ever traded for more than JDL, or at all.....so they either need to draft and develop better, or sign FAs, because they have no other veterans to trade that are likely to return anything. Which is a bummer. Are expectations of some too high, (and I'd argue some too low)? sure. Is that not the nature of fandom, which is a completely irrational thing in the first place? Yes, yes it is. Fans are under no obligation to be patient at all.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Is 4 moves not more than 1 move? I still don't see anyone ready to give up on the new FO, I see people disappointed (that word, not hateful, not this is the end of the world, disappointed) that more than 1 move wasn't made so far.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Oh, well, the POS systems are definitely PoS.....and if they go there, I agree, they can make money.
