    And how do you propose closing the gap next year, when Cruz is gone, and there are less free agent pitchers? Just keep waiting for the exact perfect moment?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Chief literally posted adding good players increases your probability of success, so I don't get this rant.

    Other than a small number of posters,I think most are ok with young guys filling the last spot. But that has little to do with Hill and Bailey. Also, Pineda and Hill missing the first quarter and half year..... Means more young guys starting.

    Garver is a catcher and can't be a free agent for years. You don't sign relief pitchers to long term deals. Arraez has played half a year and doesn't need extending any time soon. And Cruz and Rosario come off soon. They aren't near 130, either. Which is still lower than fifty percent of revenue. People keep talking about preserving flexibility, and the team keeps not using it..... Other than pocketing it.

    The money isn't gone. It's in the owner's pockets. Not the players. Or the employees.
  6. Mike Sixel
    And Jay. And Gordon.

    If you don't use the money, what is financial flexibility for? For years, people here told me that I shouldn't judge the Twins' draft picks in the 20s harshly, because I shouldn't expect much. That it wasn't really possible for a mid market team to have sustained success, that it went in cycles. Now? I'm supposed to believe that I was right, that a team good at drafting and trading and developing can have sustained success? Which is it?
  8. Mike Sixel
    The bet is not doing something better, not the money. The money is irrelevant.
  9. Mike Sixel
    No chance they do this. Too much money, or too much in prospects.
  10. Mike Sixel
    At those prices, why not bring back Gibson?
  11. Mike Sixel
    So, nothing has changed. Inexpensive free agents. No trading of big time prospects. The opposite of Houston. For three years, this board said things would be different. I hope this works, and they are great this year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Long term solutions found! I have no idea if it works for this year, but they are setting themselves up to be pitching poor next year, again.

    I thought season 3 was good, and we've now watched the first couple of season 4. I think I know what is going to happen, but there were serious surprises after season 1 (where the rebels were idiots).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Season 1 is the weakest by far. Not even close.

    The Cards offered an insane number to pujols, the Angels just offered more. We can play games all day where we point out teams that let great players go, rather than play them, and how those teams are bad over the long run. You know, Pittsburgh, Cincy, etc...... Other than Tampa and sort of Oakland, almost no one is great without some expensive players, signed to big deals.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I have little confidence.... But at least this saves me money from going to the game in Seattle..... The OL and DBs will, I predict, cost this team the game. Which is interesting, as most of their early picks are in those two spots.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. We spent last year watching the first half of Battlestar.... And now it is no longer free with prime. I can pay to watch it, or watch "free" stuff.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    These posts ignore that it is a team game, and if the Angels were as good at building a team as the red Sox or Yankees, for example, the story would be different.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Won't other teams know which aren't keepers at that point? I agree with your first points, though.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Even my son that doesn't like fantasy much liked witcher
  22. Mike Sixel
    Knives Out was very good
  23. Mike Sixel
    which is literally waht the post that you quoted said......
  24. Mike Sixel
    To long term deals......not one year deals. They also played in the hardest division in baseball. Not the easiest. No one is saying the signings for the Sox are guaranteed to work out, and make them a 90+ win team. All anyone is saying is that they are likely a lot better than they were last year. Both in terms of growth from their young players, new additions in FA, and graduating 2 of the top 10-20 prospects in the game.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's not the end of the world, but I'd worry the message is "good coaches will always leave here for bigger programs".....and if you are a blue chip recruit, do you want to take that risk? I have no idea.....but I'd think not.
