    I literally have no idea what this post means.

    I'm not sure how a salary cap helps with the "no one wants to come to MN" problem. Do the Twins have a disadvantage compared to higher revenue teams? Yes....yes they do. But they've chosen to be in this business, and it is their job to overcome those disadvantages. Or not. They can choose to ride that space of spending just enough to be just good enough, and hope to get lucky occasionally. Also their choice how they invest.

    That's not what your post said........and, I acknowledged that it might be good. But it is not true that only the best players are off the board. As for who you want.....you literally only wanted a team that has 2.25 open starting pitching spots to sign one of three starting pitchers? That seems like a bad plan to me. I don't really care about the reaction of fans, frankly. The Twins should, but I don't.

    I hear Portland is nice.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Of Fangraphs top 23 starting pitchers, 18 are off the board. So, yes, they have missed on others..... Now, whether that is good or bad I don't know, but it isn't true only the undoable are gone.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Gah. I may never hear it at that rate!
  7. Mike Sixel
    I think there is a limit to the number of pitchers also....so, ya, no.

    Ya, I'm not even thrilled my one son might drive into the mountains to ski tomorrow on his way from Seattle.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Meh, I mean, no harm, but I hope that is more hope than plan. He's shown nothing lately.

    Thanks. The exact storm track is still up for grabs....
  12. Mike Sixel
    White Sox sign Gio Gonzalez....definitely a step up for their rotation.
  13. Mike Sixel
    They backed themselves into this corner over the last three years, not acquiring assets in trade that were closer to the majors, and not signing any SPs to long term deals. Both of those might have been good decisions, but now they need to fix their problem. Keuchel would be better served going to a team with a good infield defense, but I'm not sure the Twins can afford to miss on both Keuchel and Ryu, and expect to be serious contenders for the post season. There is probably another player that will step up, but is anyone confident they can predict which one that is? I mean, this FO chose Perez as the step up candidate last year......

    My son flies in early tomorrow. Into a huge storm.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    My prediction, for what it is worth, is that Thorpe and Gaterol are relievers long term. Dobnak will go back and forth to AAA for a few years as a starter.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I prefer rice or quinoa.... As for minor league signings, no real opinion...
  17. Mike Sixel
    There are plenty of examples of how these deals work in the thread. No team pays full price for the non free agency years. The goal is to increase those years, and give him some earnings certainty in the other years (in the unlikely event he gets worse, or the possibility he gets hurt).
  18. Mike Sixel
    No chance I do two of Buxton and Lewis (or Lanarch/Kiriloff). And no way I trade them Berrios, who is about the same, and cheaper and more likely to stay healthy. No way. But, you answered, and we just disagree, so that's cool of you!
  19. Mike Sixel
    He has multiple years of not being a FA, you don't pay full price for those years.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Is Sale available? And, that ERA comment was shorthand for very good to great. Pick another if you want. What would you trade for Sale, who I don't think is available?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Is this a Carol(e) joke?
  22. Mike Sixel
    What does the bubble have to do with how the revenue is divided?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't care about the owners one way or the other. I want workers to get the money they create more than owners. Nothing more or less. Players don't have that freedom. No business can cancel an employment contract just because they want to (where there is a signed contract).
  24. Mike Sixel
    any place they sign a multi year contract. Which is what players sign. The other option is that they are free agents every day, like everyone else.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather they get the money than owners, since those are the only two real choices. And, that they have more freedom to choose their employers. Yes. For sure.
