    A front office that looks to have zero rookies make a roster from a100 loss team, is now too fast track guys? Based on what evidence from their actions?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Terrible return for that pick. And the scouts and guys making the picks are still here, right?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Just another guy in AAA showing why they don't need five veteran starters in Minnesota.....i hope he gets to pitch in Minnesota some late this year.

    It wasn't an argument for spending on 5 players, but that people are saying "FA contracts turn out badly at the end, never sign a big time FA". His response is quite clear, those back years suck, but if you want the fun of the good years, that's the actual price of the good parts of the deal.
  5. Mike Sixel
    How is not signing FAs working out for this team, exactly? Which teams are actually winning more games? Of course the contracts almost never work out over the entire length, that's the cost of being in the game of MLB or NFL or NHL or NBA. If you aren't willing to pay that price, you'll pretty much never sign a big FA, meaning you are at a huge disadvantage. Look, if you want to own a major league sports team, and you aren't willing to sign big time FAs? Maybe you shouldn't own a major league sports team. Of, you should just admit you are never going to be good over a sustained period, and you'll never likely buy that one missing piece. If that's your strategy, then you have to be one of the best at acquiring and developing talent. Does anyone think the Twins are significantly above average at either of those?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Teams that spend on FA to fill that "one last hole" don't have Jason Tyner, DH, either.
  7. Mike Sixel
    so just give up on one of the ways to acquire talent, and admit you are can't really compete?
  8. Mike Sixel
    As the GM of the WS champion Cubs states, if you are rational about FAs, you won't sign FAs. He was also the GM of the WS champion Red Sox. He also signs FAs to big deals.

    Interestingly, since I started tracking ads, I have not received one shoe or women's clothing ad....on any site.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Maybe you are getting my ads, and I'm getting your ads?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I also want to say think you, Seth.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Seriously considering tracking my ads on various sites now. I am kind of fascinated. Now getting Harry's razors ads. Is there any way that is related to getting an email from dollar shave that my order shipped?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Since I commented, I am now getting ads for Dick's sporting goods and single women over 40....and women's clothing.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Also, Kepler can play 1B if needed for some reason.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Buxton has to be on base for this to work....
  16. Mike Sixel
    because Polanco gets on base, and Buxton doesn't?
  17. Mike Sixel
    It happens at work, where I am not logged in and am anonymous, I'd guess.....it is also happening on the main vikings site I go to. Very odd indeed.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Is anyone else getting ads mostly for women's clothing? Like, all the time?
  19. Mike Sixel
    thanks for the update. Still a week or two until I start to worry...
  20. Mike Sixel
    so we still don't officially know if Gonsalves starts in AAA? Or did I read it wrong?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Still more mobile than Delmon.
  22. Mike Sixel
    How as the start yesterday?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well. This just sucks. Good luck in your recovery sir.

    Some people binge watch tv. some people can't put a book down. Some people drink too much. Some people stay out too late. Some one does everything/anything to excess. Fans and boards are notorious for expecting athletes to be athletes 100% of the time, and not humans.
  25. Mike Sixel
    We would. Some fans believe that athletes should be doing athlete stuff 24 x 7, or they don't really CARE.
