    Like Levi Michael, or others? We can play that game all day. Teams use 20 pitchers a year, you need a lot of pitching. If you won't draft it early, you need to be willing to trade prospects and sign free agents....or rely on late round picks and IFA.

    DH and parks the same? those are apples and lumber, I don't get that comparison at all.
  3. Mike Sixel
    IIRC, they could have paid slot, and signed Enlow, and not suffered any penalties other than maybe some money. No draft picks lost.

    I share the NBA concern for sure......but 4 years of control is still, what, 8-10 years if they spend 4-6 in the minors and bouncing up and down? Give the players some freedom at the beginning of the process too.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I guess I am more interested in the players getting more, and having freedom, as a priority over competitiveness. If I have to choose.

    Opportunity. Where do great development teams exist, and where is the quickest path to the majors? That said, many will choose big markets. So something needs to be put in place to reduce that.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Are the best way to get cheap pitching.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If I could redraft, it would be Gore for sure. You need seven starters every year, you only need one shortstop. Not to mention RPs.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Very much part of my idea!
  10. Mike Sixel
    McKay looks like a legit number two. You don't want that? Lewis is not progressing like the rest, that is disappointing.
  11. Mike Sixel
    It's completely broke. Ask Kyler Murray.... And other athletes who would like some freedom before they are thirty plus years old....
  12. Mike Sixel
    other than players making more money and having a say where they live and work, it does done nothing... Sure.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I have an article three fourths written on how this could work.....

    My father in law worked for a cookie company. Yes, the air is protection....

    That flag was almost never flown until the civil Rights movement. It's not about pride....

    June trades just aren't that frequent. I've got an article half written looking at this. Two to six a year, either involving players that aren't good, or moving massive contracts. The Twins don't need the former, and probably won't ever do the latter. I think it's another week or two..... There are good reasons for teams on both sides to wait.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They might not be done adding....and he cost money and 10 spots in the draft (so far). That's less than trading a real prospect, I'd guess.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Selling off assets is very different than using prospects to get better now. I too think they sold more than Ryan, so that's a good sign, even if I would not have traded pressley. Like I said, we'll see if they go in or sit out in four weeks
  19. Mike Sixel
    I thought he'd start badly, but wow.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Awful take. These are people, hurting themselves.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Very true.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I hope the Ryan history has nothing to do with this front office behavior. We'll know in four weeks, I guess. The instructive thing about that history is that it shows that injuries happen, bad luck happens, and stuff. You need to take advantage of those times things go well, like this year, because they may not next year. Don't give up the farm, but don't sit out the chance for this year either.
  23. Mike Sixel
    He's 25? There are no service clock issues. I'd guess it is about the forty man.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Yesterday was a rom com. It was good. I liked the premise a lot.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've been doing research, for a potential article. There just aren't many trades before mid July. Most involve serious money being taken on, or no one you've heard of. I don't see this team taking on a huge contact....
