    I don't think anyone is ignoring him as the 5th option.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I can never recall if it is Erv or Ricky....about the same, I think....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. If I can get Price, and trade howeveryouspellhisname......I probably do that. Maybe. I'm quite nervous about his elbow, so I'd want him to be surrounded by three guys I trusted (which he would be THIS year).

    We'll never know, since their largest signing is, who, Nolasco? In the history of the team? It's the pattern, not the one off cases.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Did you read the link I posted.....you might find it interesting.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Break out the champagne. their goals have been met!
  7. Mike Sixel
    Blech.

    Other than Gallen last year, I struggle to think of a young pitcher (that is in the majors and good, which is what this team needs) traded with more than 2 years of control left.....doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I can't think of it. I also don't think this team will outbid anyone for a big time free agent. But they said they would add impact player(s) this year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    How about signing a really good to great player? Not Cole or Strasburg money.....but the next tier.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Why would the Rockies do this for low level prospects?
  12. Mike Sixel
    He has almost no excess value. Just sign one of the expensive third baseman instead, and keep your prospects.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Isn't what really matters what Snell does? I mean, you never know if the prospects turn out the same in different orgs. Not that I think there is any chance they trade for him.

    They just signed Morton last year, why are they trading him?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Cleveland trying to be like the Rays....but no other team has cracked that code.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    The dollars are right in line with the last few years.....the two great players got the same moneyish as the two great hitters last year, and the Wheeler looks like Corbin/Darvish money.....or middle tier money like last year. This has been the price for 2-3 years now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Which kind of shows the folly of waiting until just the right moment to add good players.....they might not be there in the year you waited for. The Twins have historically played the risk game in one way: Choose the least financial risk, while accepting that there may be considerable downside risk in playing mediocre players. That's fine, it's their company. But I'd really like them to make an upside play at some point. This was that point. Great hitting team, with lots of money available (and money coming off the books next year), and 5-6 good starting pitchers available (they had no chance at the top two, but those two meant two other teams were not pursuing the other 3-4).
  19. Mike Sixel
    It is true, different players have different needs/wants. But we are looking at a pattern of over two decades of not signing big time free agents (from a cost perspective). It isn't a one off thing at that point, it's an organizational philosophy. It could still change this off season, there are still two really good pitchers left....
  20. Mike Sixel
    So I got that about right? Sometimes I'm right, not often according to one poster, but sometimes.
  21. Mike Sixel
    But they didn't, they signed Perez......
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd think Price is about a $20MM dollar a year player in this market. That means Boston would have to eat a third of the deal for the Twins to send "cash or a PTBNL".....
  23. Mike Sixel
    That's what I would do if I was the Angels....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not at all. I hope he's healthy and happy. Good for him to get this money.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Mature decision by the schools. Not easy at all.
