    . Reasonable question. But you can't always be afraid of the downside risk. Not if you want to win at some point.

    He's widely regarded as one of the two or three best humans on the planet at his job. I doubt he's underpaid....
  3. Mike Sixel
    It is. No doubt. But they have the money, apparently. It's a fairly young team overall. I'm guessing they sign an expensive pitcher also. I suppose they could just pocket the money
  4. Mike Sixel
    I suppose if you ignore everything else he does.... Like offense and defense and veteran leadership....

    What did Corbin get last year? Closer to that....
  6. Mike Sixel
    In the next few years, not necessarily this year. But I don't think they are done.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Wow. Crazy big projection! Nice.

    I think you are wrong, if you think that it wasn't about helping rich MLB owners all along. There aren't that many minor league teams either. That legislation passed for the same reason that our tax laws were changed recently. To help rich and powerful people.

    I think I, and every national writer, don't agree that if the Twins payroll goes from 100 million to 140 million, that their off field expensies also increase by 40 million. It isn't realistic at all. If it was, then they'd fire a bunch of off field people when their revenue drops, just like they do players.

    I think that trade offer is light. Their FO is impossible to understand, though, so who know what CO would do or not,
  11. Mike Sixel
    Who starts the first eight games for Pineda? I like this plan for the most part, but I really like Jeffers..... Oh well. Gotta give value to get value.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't even know what you are arguing. I've never said build a team thru free agency, I've asked for one big signing. Not a whole bunch. I only ask every year because they don't. One. And you agree they should do that. So why are you arguing?
  13. Mike Sixel
    My theory includes signing your own players to big long term deals. We are now only looking at the four best teams, then adding Oakland and Tampa in a different part of your argument? If another team could duplicate Tampa's success, they sure haven't been able to for two decades now, so it isn't that easy. Washington had the highest paid starting pitching staff, two of whom were free agents. I doubt they regret either signing. And, four years would be great, so I don't know what you are arguing.... As for LA..... They've had a pretty high payroll, and been a pretty great team. Are we only going by one year? You agree this front office should sign a guy to the exact kind of deal I want, why are you arguing? Also, Corbin produced 4.8 fwar last year.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    A bad team should absolutely take Jax. They have nothing to lose, and a starting pitcher to gain.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I thought I was clear. You can't argue they need flexibility and that they should not spend that when they have it. No one is saying spend like the Yankees, and not consider a budget. As for Darvish, he would have been the Twins best pitcher in the second half last year, and would be in the roster now. I'm guessing that now that he's healthy, he'll be good for a couple years. As for the specific example, we can play that game all day with examples of going cheap every year, year after year, not working out. I'm not sure how that's better.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure Washington regrets Corbin.... For the right player, you have to go more than three years.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Where did I say Cole? If they don't sign a great pitcher this year, they failed. They literally offered a long term deal to Darvish...
  18. Mike Sixel
    Wake me up when rich dudes aren't helped by Congress. They literally passed that legislation last year. To help owners, and hurt players. I can't believe you are arguing that didn't happen.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Are you arguing they couldn't find one good pitcher to bring in last off season for more than a year? That it is a good idea to have one starter going into a year you expect to compete?
  20. Mike Sixel
    They need two or three.... They have fifty million in budget. Seriously. Never, ever, mention financial flexibility again if you don't think they should actuality sign great players. Because it is a meaningless phrase at that point, other than cover for ownership.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Very few people hit .300 anymore. Imo, he'll have to develop some power as the average drops. Also, that defense....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Do people really want random guys more than Cave? They shouldn't.
  23. Mike Sixel
    No one would pay him close to that amount. If they wanted him, he's worth about seven million a year. They wasted millions.
  24. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to say the Twins fixed Lynn, given the actual outcomes he produced. I think all anyone is saying is that we don't have sufficient evidence to believe they know how to fix a pitcher. There just isn't much data at this point.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If they were great at it, they probably wouldn't have gone into this off season with one starting pitcher on the roster....
