    Fair. When should I expect them to be good for more than one year?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Of course they have a budget. Of course they should make money. The question is, how much money, and will they ever succeed if they don't spend? Not everyone agrees, but they can sign a big contract, and still make money. And still have other players on the roster that makes money. IMO. I don't expect them to, however.
  3. Mike Sixel
    He's a lot less likely to have to move to first base. And, has a longer offensive track record. I'd say yes, much more valuable. It is moot. They aren't signing him.

    The Cards offered Pujols a monster deal, LA just offered more. The twins lost their flexibility by choice. They could have spent more, but chose not to. They also signed Halliday for 120 million, and Carpenter for big bucks. During the same time frame. It's not like they didn't sign long deals, or spend real money.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not by the industry, and not by many here. How has not taking risks worked? They have how many playoff wins in the last twenty years?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Well, they haven't exactly recovered from signing bad player after bad player. Like, the three contracts listed above. Same money, on three players. If you won't take risks, you won't win often.

    I may have gotten that wrong, and meant next year..... Still not sure how that's building a team.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious. What have they done to build this team? Not one player is signed past this year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Still waiting for them to sign a great pitcher.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Distributing money across four mediocre players is better how? And no one is saying one player can carry a team. No one made that argument.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea how Granite is surviving, given the options
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd much rather the actual entertainers that produce value get the money. I have no idea why one would be good with it being otherwise. The Twins can afford to sign either, they'd rather make more money. That's their right, but I don't get why fans agree so much with owners.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't care about value. I want great players. They can cut anyone they want, as one year deals are the definition of sunk costs. Does anyone other than one poster think this is a difference maker?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Revenues and team values are rising faster than payroll. I doubt we will agree on this. And, if we think about dollars and not percentages.... It's even worse. If revenue is up, let's say two billion, and percentages were the same, around fifty percent to payroll, that means one billion more is in owner's pockets, give or take. I doubt outside expenses are rising all that fast.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Why is it better for the money to sit in the owner's pockets, than be spent on players? How does that help the sport at all? There is plenty of money to sign him. And others. And cano was worth every penny. The Mariners did a terrible job building around him.

    We flew without issue Sunday. But our Lyft driver said his boss at the TSA already lost his house. The GOPs lack of empathy is astounding to me.
  17. Mike Sixel
    For Waynes or Rhodes? Probably. If you believe in Hill and Hughes, yes. Get more DL and OL.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Or an industry where employees can't switch companies for about ten years... Counting time in the minus minors. This is all part of the contract they agree to, and has nothing to do with accountability.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great pitcher, or see what the youth can actually do. That's my preference.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Plus, they spent that money and took up three roster spots each year... Then replaced them with three bad players. And again.
  21. Mike Sixel
    10:22 Mr. Fister: Other than Kiner-Falefa, who are some other guys who have under the radar catcher eligibility that could play regularly? 10:22 Jeff Sullivan: WILLIANS 10:22 Jeff Sullivan: ASTUDILLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 10:55 Nick Mar – Cake is Good: Jeff has a Williams Astudillo fetish 10:55 Jeff Sullivan: It’s not a fetish because I wouldn’t describe it as abnormal 10:55 Jeff Sullivan: For anyone who has observed Astudillo, it is very normal
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand the Yankees here at all. They are sitting on billions in profits. I hope they lose a playoff spot by one game, hopefully caused by their SS.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I can't think of one reason they need an old player in AAA. Plenty of young players need time. They have three veterans already.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Right. I don't like all their moves, but at least they are trying to win.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ron: Astudillo have a roster spot this spring? Maybe should have one for being able to help out at a couple positions? Is the bat real? Thanks! Keith Law: He can do enough with the bat that he should be on the roster. I don’t think he’s a regular, if that’s what you’re asking.
