    But it was a written rule, not sure how those are punished in MLB......
  2. Mike Sixel
    I find it fascinating everyone is spelling his name correctly.
  3. Mike Sixel
    They need 2 weeks of meetings first.... /s /false meme....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think Chicago and MN are similar in the rankings of which teams they root for...... The timing makes sense, if he wants a job before FA starts.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    He doesn't strike me as an Edina guy.Typical Twins offering the wrong thing......

    To fans, IMO, this would be an indication that they aren't stuck in the 1990s, and are willing to embrace newness. I also think it would be a good hire. It would also give them a chance to say.....this is why we didn't spend 52% of our revenue last year, so we'd have the flexibility to do something like this when given the chance. And we just did. So shut up about the budget already.....or something like that.

    Ah, right, that name. Thanks Seth.

    It looks like Plouffe, Sano, and a bunch of AAAA or minor leaguers (or players so young, they are not any older than my kids, meaning we have no idea what they are or are not). The big international FA signing a couple of years ago, he's an OF now, right? Sorry, I can't recall his name.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't think we know how different any of these guys are, really. I also don't know he needs to be opposite of Gardy, just different in a few ways, I think.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I do agree that you want a manager in there ASAP after the World Series, so that FA and others have some idea what they are signing up for.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Nicely done. I'd say "lost", not "losing" from the casual fan base.
  12. Mike Sixel
    No one forgets that he had less experience....but he is in A ball, and on the 40 man......that's the issue.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Martinez was my guy
  14. Mike Sixel
    Why May? You don't worry about service time with RP. I don't understand that at all.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm on the "at least 2-3 of the RP need to be guys you can send to AAA" bandwagon. There are a lot of questions about the starters. RP are unpredictable. A team in this position, imo, can't be stuck with 4 or 6 guys that can't be optioned. If they won't start Meyer in MN, they should let him relieve in MN, imo. I'm indifferent on Pelfrey, other than I'd prefer they not try him at starter (he's the definition of a sunk cost, mediocrity blocking prospects).
  16. Mike Sixel
    If half of the prospects don't work out for 2016, should they wait another 2-3 years at that point, or at that point can they try to make the team better even though the prospects didn't work out? Because that is the point they are at now. Their prospects weren't all that good, so they have gaping holes all over the field. I'm at a loss to understand how signing Hughes was a good idea, but signing other players that might help out is a bad idea. Another straw man.....no one is saying FAs always work out. No one.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I agree with birdwatcher 100%. And the others that say you only worry about blocking elite players. And that they really only have 1 SP they should really like for sure right now, and a bunch of question marks. There is plenty of money to sign a good SP, and to take a chance on an OF. I 100% want more youngsters with options in the bullpen, they need flexibility, not a bunch of guys you can't option that are probably mediocre anyway.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So both teams that hired managers did it wrong?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Entirely too well thought out for a post on a sports thread.....please sum it down to 1 partial sentence with way more emotion.....* I'm with you on this whole post, btw. *for those that don't know, BW and I don't always appear to agree.....this part is supposed to be funny.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Red Sox are using their assets to get Stanton......I really do believe that.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Awesome, thanks for the stats!
  22. Mike Sixel
    1000000x this.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Dave Cameron has an article on Fangfaphs today, talking about because of the size of the payoff, he may have underestimated the value of being an 85 (expected) win team.....which I found instructive.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Actually. ..that is what I meant when I replied. I am less sure since I replied
  25. Mike Sixel
    Not Hicks. No idea on others.
