    because that's what they've collectively bargained and agreed to, and yes, there are plenty of contracts in the "real world".
  2. Mike Sixel
    Who is available that is close to the ERA leader? Or, as you insist they get, an ace?
  3. Mike Sixel
    There is no loyalty in business at all....why should baseball be different?

    Jim Leyland Palmer 12:52 Larnach & Kirilloff flipped on your recent MIN list. Do you think think most of the league is with you guys on this shift or do most people still value Kirlloff's perceived higher upside over Larnach's more steady profile? AvatarKiley McDaniel 12:53 Now that Kirilloff is more 1B and the scorching performance slowed down a bit, Larnach's impact power is a more compelling separator, although they should be close to each other on the top 100 Twins list pt 2 1:17 no love for randy dobnak after posting a 2.90 FIP and a 52% GB rate?

    Twins brought on Chris Mitchell? the guy that invented KATOH? Huh, and people here used to mock it.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I actually think that is an over pay by the Twins. I would still consider it, but I'm thinking swap out Jeffers for Rortverdt as a starter.....And, I'd really want to move that opt out out another 2 years somehow.....

    The Mets won 86 games in the best division in baseball....and some are predicting they will be better this year. How are they poorly run? I mean, they might be.....but results aren't indicating that. Enlow will be lucky to sniff the majors. You'd have to include one of the top SP prospects in this deal.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Correct, the current FO has picked position players in round one. But, the previous FO missed on Stewart, Gordon, and Jay. Probably on Gordon, there is still hope on him at least.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Nearly all of those teams were better set up going into the off season. And, I'm interested in this team getting better. And to pick a nit, the Nationals brought back Strasburg....on a huge free agent deal. There is limited supply of the type of player this team needs, which shrinks nearly daily. I am still predicting Ryu is here, but I am beginning to question myself....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well, they haven't used a first round pick on a pitcher yet..... Ace or no ace. There aren't many very good pitchers on bad teams to trade for. So I'm at a loss for how to fix it this year, given they did not acquire starters in previous years in enough numbers. Missing out on three straight top ten picks is a killer.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That's not a fair trade for the Mets at all.
  12. Mike Sixel
    https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/twins This year they should add, I'm guessing, 7 players from the minors will debut that were acquired in trade. That changes if they sign a 1B and another SP......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Uh, wut? Nelson Cruz has fWAR.......fWAR is also not focused on fielding. And no one has been able to come up with a good way to measure managers, despite years of effort.
  14. Mike Sixel
    That's kind of my point......they never really tried before.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Congrats and good luck!
  16. Mike Sixel
    Again, fine, but it can't be every high priced FA ever.....that's the point. That that is not the main reason there are zero high priced FAs here since Jack Morris.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. This was obviously going to be a problem in 19 and beyond......it needs to be fixed. Perhaps they will manage to be right about enough of the players they have added, but that is unlikely to help in 20, and barely likely to be enough in 21. Not impossible, but not likely that they can rely only on internal options or cheap signings. I'm still hopeful they sign Ryu and/or make a trade, but as I've said for a year, there just aren't many currently good MLB starting pitchers available.....because most of the good pitchers are on playoff contenders.
  18. Mike Sixel
    In fairness.....the "didn't want to come here" statement has been made for more than three years.....which is one reason it seems tired. It can't be true for every top FA, there must be other reasons also in play...... also, that's why I said it is the FO's job to fix this. Not that they broke it, but it is their job to fix it.
  19. Mike Sixel
    so, national writers should say what, about swings? Nothing? Other than that, I have no issue with your post/opinion. It's all a matter of projection at this point.
  20. Mike Sixel
    What would you do?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I will say this...... IF the Twins sign Donaldson, and they trade Sano for a pitcher or SS that helps them (a lot) for the next two years, that would not be a bad outcome...... I see neither of those happening right now though.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure if the Twins trade for one of the best players in the game, and extend him....that that poster would find it refreshing.
  23. Mike Sixel
    guess I should have put the sarcasm tag on that ........
  24. Mike Sixel
    Good point. So, 5/110-120?
  25. Mike Sixel
    If it is true that FAs don't want to come to MN for lots of reasons, why would Odo sign to stay here? That said, you don't have to pay Berrios anywhere near that much. He's only making $5MM this year. There is a thread about it on the site with some good comments about what it would take. As for Odo, I think you'd have to go 5/100 to get him to stay. Plenty of people here have said that's too much for a number 2/3 type, so I'm not sure how the site would feel about it. I'd do that, given, as you say, how the market has gone. It also, more importantly, means they have budget and a roster spot with more certainty going forward. That makes planning easier, let alone the roster likely better for 3-4 years....
