    He's perhaps the second best player ever.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Lots of passing today on plays Zimmer gets conservative and runs or punts.... he's not a coach for this era.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm baffled no one is arguing for Bonds.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Wouldn't they be more likely to be in that position if they acquired the great player now?
  5. Mike Sixel
    9 wins, and they keep spielman and zimmer around....."look at the improvement!"
  6. Mike Sixel
    Name one poster that suggested they spend like the Yankees.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Was hoping a rookie would take the number 5 spot, or a series of rookies until one stuck......
  8. Mike Sixel
    I agree. That trade of a 2nd on a team with all rookies at DB was a huge blunder.......this team was never going to be great, adding a DE for a year was firable.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Then I guess the key is to be better at it....as they have no playoff wins to show for it. But yes, they have been doing it.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Good write up....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Because they need to keep doing it.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Which of those is a starter on the roster this year?
  13. Mike Sixel
    As the FO picked hitter after hitter, most people here said the Twins would trade for and sign pitchers......it looks like the Padres are actually doing what people here said the Twins would do......
  14. Mike Sixel
    The only OL he's picked that have worked have been 1st or 2nd round picks...... Not likely an impact DT will be there, but a DE might. I predict a trade down to get a late first and second (or a third and then two thirds for a 2nd).
  15. Mike Sixel
    I hope you all bought fiverr..... wow.
  16. Mike Sixel
    No way he wants Zimmer telling him to run on 2nd an long, and to punt on 4th and 1, etc.......I can't see any way they have anything in common when it comes to offensive philosophy.
  17. Mike Sixel
    The CLE OL had NO Chance against Pittsburg, except for superior coaching. They threw quick passes....something MN won't do. Most every offensive problem on this team is coaching related, not talent (the OL is mediocre, and is a problem, but they could makes philosophical changes). It's all on Zimmer (and to some degree Spielman).
  18. Mike Sixel
    Kubiak has indicated he may retire..... they need better 4th down calls, to stop running on 2nd and long (they were the worst offender thru most of the season) and get better at the end of halfs. That's a lot for a veteran OC and QB to not do well.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not spend money would be my guess, at least not more than 50-60 million total, I'd guess.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Are we sure it is crippling? I'm guessing the cap goes up 10 million between now and 2022....and that Barr and Rudolph and both safeties are gone. That leaves Jefferson and Hunter as extension candidates (not sure you can even do Jefferson then).....maybe one of the CBs.....O'Neill, I guess....but really, I'm not sure most of the roster will be expensive in 2022. I'm fairly indifferent to next year, as I see almost no chance of them being GREAT.....but not zero chance.
  21. Mike Sixel
    DT, OG..... if they don't fix those, nothing else will matter in 2021. No sense in keeping Rudolph, unless he takes a massive pay cut. Not sure which other vets I want gone, but I'd roll the dice on a cheaper kicker and punter. I'd package Barr and a pick to move up. Like Barr and a third for a second.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Which FA starter is that good this year? Or even close?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Good question....but that wasn't the point....the person said he wanted a free market, but most people don't want a free market for the draft, once again, screwing the players. So, do you want a free market or not? And if not always, why always pick the owner's side of free markets? I actually have a solution I will post this spring, it is a hybrid system, where the worst teams get more money to spend on players entering the system, ,but no one gets to draft a player and make them go to a system for 6-10 years of no freedom of choice.
  24. Mike Sixel
    My point is simple.....until they do it, we don't know if they can. Nothing more or less than that....but people keep saying he (they are) is good at it, and we just don't know that yet. when I made this point last year, I was told to just wait for 2020 (now, that's a bad year to judge)......so, when? Five years is enough time to have drafted or traded for a minor league pitcher they make into a good starting pitcher.
  25. Mike Sixel
    As for Gore, I merely pointed that out in response to your post.... nothing more or less
