    Just like all the Cubans back in the day, the Twins specialize in being in on players.... For the past three years, people here have been saying wait until they are good, then this team will act differently.....

    Well,I got that prediction wrong. I really thought this front office would be different and sign this guy or Bumgarner or Wheeler. Or someone. There are zero pitchers left I want on multi year deal. I am genuinely shocked.

    Baking

    I tried to make this one with tequila and Sherry, but the type of Sherry I need is sold out in Portland! So I did rum and brandy.

    Yes, but I drank it all. I'll be making more...

    The Royals have drafted terribly. They aren't this bad because of a few trades. If they still had those players, they probably aren't great right now anyway. Is that better?

    Just drank the homemade eggnog I made. . .. yummy.

    Not only this year. But yes, winning this year is part of the goal. I've been 100 percent consistent.... They can't keep going year to year on pitching.

    Ray is signed for one year? So, again, in the same spot next year, Odo and Ray will be free agents.... I'll take Ray, but it's another short term band aid.

    They prioritize money over winning is not the same thing as wanting to lose. Business is all about setting priorities, and in the history of this team, it's fairly clear that winning is not the top priority. Which is cool, they should make money. The question is, is there ever a time to spend more, increasing the odds of winning more, assuming you trust the FO to spend well. Which I mostly do.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but I'm not sure anyone suggested getting rid of all three.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I was literally replying to a post about trading for a good starter, and how hard that is.
  12. Mike Sixel
    So, pretty much the Twins before this last season?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Did anyone suggest this?
  14. Mike Sixel
    How many number two pitchers have been traded in the last four or so off seasons?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Which took a couple years..... So, in two or more years?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Inconceivable!
  17. Mike Sixel
    They don't have a surplus of good starters.
  18. Mike Sixel
    20 of the top 27.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Cincy is trying to win this year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but the timing is off for this year and possibly next.
  21. Mike Sixel
    In support of the belief that the Twins may have somehow failed Buxton by not letting him fail......and in support of my argument that players should be promoted faster as a rule..... Weenie 12:43 Do you think Dipoto seems to be a little too aggressive with promoting his prospects? White, Lewis, and Dunn haven’t played AAA and Sheffield struggled there last year, yet Dipoto seems to imply that all 4 are likely to have an opening day roster spot. Eric A Longenhagen 12:44 No, I think more and more teams are pushing guys until they fail, then slowing down, and I think this strategy is appropriate. I'm not sure the PCL is great for dev.

    Flying

    Mike Sixel replied to Squirrel's topic in The Sports Bar

    Well, the storm moved north, and now it is raining on the ski slopes instead of snowing. I doubt we'll be paying 4x80 dollars to ski in these conditions over break. Disappointed!
  23. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Also, just no on Hamilton.
  24. Mike Sixel
    The pen does look like it will be one of the better ones. I like the odds one of the AAA/AA pitchers really steps up in the bullpen this year also. Of course, they need to get to the 6th inning first.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Not bad. And one year makes sense.
