    I am a fan as a pitcher. I'm not a fan of him being part of the fun police.......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Berrios and, um, Gibson. That's it in how long? Not a good track record to be sure. Hopefully this FO and development team is better than the last decade was.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I've only read a few pages so far. It's great.

    Not a dad joke.... But my favorite comic seemed appropriate for this site.. https://www.facebook.com/163385977079407/posts/2562221537195827/

    Have you been unconscious for three days?

    Of course, they could occasionally choose to make less profit. They aren't obligated to, but fans aren't obligated to buy tickets to teams that value profit over winning either. It's a balance, that I think the owners have rarely sided on the side of spending more when the team was great. That's their right, of course, but they chose this business. If you judge success by winning playoff games, they are not so successful lately. If you judge it by profits, I'm sure they are plenty successful.

    That's what happens when you enter an off season with only two pitchers. Failure to acquire a pitcher in previous years is haunting this team. Free agency is the price you pay for those failures.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'd try him in the bullpen, but not as a starter at this point.
  9. Mike Sixel
    meh, take it or not.....it's a distraction from the Philly discussion......their previous deals did not stop them from signing Wheeler, so they were not hamstrung.
  10. Mike Sixel
    If you don't think teams pay players based on what they project those players to do in the future, I have no idea how you think teams decide how much to pay.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Of course ,you have to believe that Harper and Realmuto were bad contracts....and that Philly would then not spend more money (which they have)..... I suppose it is better to have financial flexibility, and never use it..... Also, Wheeler isn't getting booed off the stage next year. And Darvish will be as good as any current Twins' pitcher this year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Strasburg will be in Washington, I have no doubt. Cole will not be in MN, I have no doubt.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree with the S in pitchers, btw......one good SP isn't enough given they decided not to have any long term commitments last year, and now have 3 holes.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I like Keuchel, but not so much if the infield is Sano/Polanco/Arraez......
  15. Mike Sixel
    He opted out of 4/100......
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing 6/180 for Strasburg.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And those players are still on this team now....with a much better pitching staff. Most teams aren't built in a year. You didn't post about not caring about winning, you posted that they were tied to bad contracts. If the Twins had signed a great pitcher 2 or 1 year ago, they wouldn't be in this mess.....no team is built in a day. The Phillies might not win, but you can't say they aren't at least trying to win at this point.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Still not close.
  19. Mike Sixel
    How is this a problem for the fans, exactly? They increased attendance so much last year, that Harper made them money, btw......
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's clear that he took somewhat less money to stay out East. Probably not tens of millions, but some. So, the Twins were probably never a real option. Let's hope all the other good SPs aren't as picky about location, or they have a relative in MN.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    This team, according to you on other posts, should be signing a big time pitcher this year. So I'm not sure what you are arguing here.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Oh boy, they are in on him! It's too early to judge, but I don't care if they are in on players, I care if they actually sign them.
  23. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to pocketing revenue? Why is trying to sign great players bad?
  24. Mike Sixel
    It's a pattern. If it wasn't a pattern, it would be different.... That said, it is way too early to judge this off season yet....way too early
  25. Mike Sixel
    Like whom in trade? Because there aren't many good pitchers on bad teams, not that will be available
