    I just don't take anything* seriously at this point......I think pitchers are still working on hitting certain spots, new pitches, etc.......I don't think they really pitch to the situation this early in the year. *maybe park's power....
  2. Mike Sixel
    That is two great draft classes, wow. At least they are no longer trying to make Bard a starter......
  3. Mike Sixel
    I can't see Arcia anywhere but MN to start the year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    If the argument is, you only extend ace types.....you think the Twins will ever pay a SP $30MM a year? I don't, well, not in the next 10-20 years anyway. If the argument is, you can't afford Berrios and Gibson, we don't agree. If the argument is, Gibson is a number 4 pitcher, no way we agree, not even close.
  5. Mike Sixel
    what do you think a number 3 will cost in 4 years? By this logic, you would never sign anyone past age 31? Total risk aversion? But, willing to risk it all on guys that have never played in the majors? Who is more likely to be good, a guy that has never played in the majors, or a guy that has had success in the majors?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I don't think they keep Berrios down for super 2......a few weeks for a year of service? Yes. But I don't see them worrying about super 2. I like Park's chances.
  7. Mike Sixel
    heh.....good one.

    yes for sure on that Gibson deal. Sure, he could blow out his arm, but a hitter could run into Sano, or get a concussion, or blow out his knee playing with his kids. That price for Gibson would look like a bargain now, let alone in a few years. No on Plouffe. I don't know what their plans are, but they should be Sano or Polanco or something, imo, that is not Plouffe two years from now. But, no, no but I guess. I like that he's worked his way into a good, valuable player, but I'm not sure he's part of the next WS team.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Good point on looking thru their lens, I had not thought about it that way.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Most importantly, did Park flip his bat? If not, score one for the "sports is serious, not entertainment" types.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    That's fair. I didn't think that one thru enough probably, just went with a fast "maybe"....
  12. Mike Sixel
    No chance on Jepsen. I just don't see the value over using all the guys they've been drafting, or signing whatever FA RP looks legit when the need arises. I would sign that Sano deal today, I don't think he should. Not enough reward, imo, for him. Another $15MM would probably need to be found for him, I think, for his agents to want that deal.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmmm. I am going with no on both. I would be more likely to extend Escobar, though. I have always thought Rosario would hit, but I think I need to see one more year......and yes, I know that increases the cost. Being GM is hard.
  14. Mike Sixel
    oh, I agree with that. But, who would have said, "the price of oil is going to drop, and that's going to cause a huge dip in the market"?
  15. Mike Sixel
    No one credible can predict with accuracy like that. Sure, it will happen at some point , then the bears can say I told you so, like they always do.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It's a very risk averse crowd here........
  17. Mike Sixel
    It's why, if you don't need the money anytime soon, it really does not matter all that much what happens......now, needing it over the next few years, it matters to me.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Except every number is going up and up.......those numbers will look silly small in a few years.
  19. Mike Sixel
    If you go with youth, you can send them up and down to AAA when they need a break, or to work on something. If you go with veterans, well, unless they stink (i.e., they aren't just meh), you have kind of stuck yourself with them, with no flexibility. Plus, let's be honest, they probably aren't WS favorites this year. Let's get the youth here, and see what they have.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe an entire thread too....that would be "fun".
  21. Mike Sixel
    It wouldn't be the first time, Vanimal, that the Twins played a player at a position in the majors they NEVER ONCE used him at in the minors, which, frankly, is amazingly bad strategy, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, I had replied.....but it got lost..... No way I extend Perkins, none, nada, nil. That was even before I read Seth's very logical thoughts from him. He's going to be 35 at the end of this deal. There is zero upside for the team to extend him right now. I'd try on Buxton, but you are really rolling the die on this one. If you can't get at least 6-8 years though, I doubt it is worth it. If he would sign the deal you just proposed, I would sign him to that right now. Immediately. Then I'd give whatever member of the FO negotiated it a huge bonus (or, since I'm now a Pohlad, a gift card......).
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but unless that trade happens in ST, it won't happen until May or June. Teams just don't make major moves in April. Which, I don't get, frankly. If you lost a SP in April, and didn't have a ready replacement, and you thought you were a contender....and yet, it rarely happens.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm going with league median SS, which is quite valuable.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The hardest thing about forcing his way up, short of injury, is that the Twins have a lot of mediocre SP right now, and will they cut a mediocre, highly compensated, veteran, if he's pitching like a number 4/5 starter? Do teams do that? Any team? If not, that means he most likely replaces Duffey, and Duffey has a chance to be more than a 4/5.......
