    I'd pay the ten year deal for either. 30-33 million per.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Let's move this to the correct thread....

    Why did Cruz come, if it is about more than money?
  4. Mike Sixel
    It's what they did last year, and all but Cruz this year. So, what is the other alternative?
  5. Mike Sixel
    He was hurt.... But sure. Of the thirty teams, he was better than the best player on multiple teams. And he's 26. Are you saying he's not great? Or not worth signing? Are you suggesting he's not going to be great? Because I don't know what point you are making.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I think Cruz proves it is about money. If the money is close, I'm sure other things matter. And for older, married players, location might matter more.....but if the money isn't close, it is all about the money. I don't for one minute believe that if the Twins offered a FA they really wanted more than other teams that that player is going to say no. (most players, not every player)

    Wireless Joe Jackson 3:26 The AL Central is really bugging me. The Indians have made no effort to improve obvious weaknesses, and the Twins have made no effort to try and capitalize. the Twins have ZERO salary commitments beyond this year. Get Keuchel and Kimbrel and make this thing interesting! Meg Rowley 3:26 It is useful to remember that free agents have to want to go there, but yeah, it wouldn't suck for them to be more engaged. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/meg-rowley-fangraphs-chat-2-12-19/

    Who is saying top 10? They aren't even at the median right now......who said top 10? Especially if you take out the teams not even trying.... Analytics is NOT about not taking risks, just the opposite. It's about using math to determine the best path among all the risky paths, and to attempt to quantify that, rather than just eyeball it.

    I don't have ESPN, so zero? Fangraphs is quite high on him, for example. The reports say he can hit. And I like guys that can hit.

    Over the last 4 years, Harper is the 7th best offensive player in the game. If he's not worth a monster deal when he's 26, who is?
  11. Mike Sixel
    If you want a lengthy discussion on Sen. Klobuchar.... https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/politics-podcast-amy-klobuchars-path-to-the-democratic-nomination/

    These guys aren't only going to perform for 4 years....they won't even be 30 then. I don't think people realize how rare an opportunity this is. It amazes me how many posts here think salaries are insane, but don't seem to be bothered that just means that owners get the money, and players don't. Like, I really don't get this at all. The game generates ever growing revenues, of course labor should get some of that growth too.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The Dodgers have an all star third basemen and short stop. Returning from injury. They are one of the few teams that can say they don't need Machado. I don't think people are doing a good job of comparing Harper to other players. It's pretty easy to do since he entered the league. It's right in fangraphs. Also, great players, this young, aren't generally available just for money, which every team has plenty of.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Austin, Cron, Duda, Cruz.... Other teams are looking for guys that can play multiple positions, and the Twins have brought in four DH, 1B, types. Right after drafting Rooker. I don't get it. It's too early to give up on Gordon, but last year is a red flag to raise doubts.
  15. Mike Sixel
    FSN gets the money, and doesn't pay the Twins. The pohlads get the money, and Twins revenue is lower, so they can justify paying less in salaries. That's the concern, right or wrong
  16. Mike Sixel
    They have one starting pitcher under control next year.... How do you propose they develop four or more? It would be great to trade for them before they are good, so far, that isn't happening here, and certainly not in less than a year.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    You think Murray doesn't want football? That he's a puppet of Boras? Based on what?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Are younger, good, guys traded? I don't get this at all.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The point he was making was that FSN won't pay the Twins much, and then the magic refund revenue number will drop. But FSN will get the money. ....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Why would you ever wish bad things for anyone?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Too old? I mean, what? What free agent would you ever sign if you won't sign a 31 year old? Help me understand what your are saying
  22. Mike Sixel
    Corner OF isn't no value. I have no idea if Javier will be good or not, but the certainty that people are expressing here is surprising, given how little he's played at all.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The GOP pushed their policy for decades, as a long term play. Those that believe in healthcare should do the same. People need to hear about a change this big for a long time to embrace it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    The fix, as you say, is to truly share revenue. But I don't see that happening either. I'm all for inequality if it means players get more.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I hate a cap, as you can imagine. All the money just goes to billionaire owners, instead of players. It's not like they will drop prices...
