    That should be next year, then, since they don't look like contenders.....

    Scott 12:20 Who is a better player over the next 5 years...Buxton or Margot?ReactReact Dan Szymborski 12:20 Buxton still. Cold in MN 12:50 The Twins have to do something else this off season, right? I know they won't get Harper/Machado or come near last year's payroll but they still have to get a starter/bullpen arm?! Also, Donaldson would have been a nice 3B/DH option Dan Szymborski 12:50 I think they'll close the deal with *one* of the next tier down from Machado/Harper They *really* wanted Darvish which turned out badly so far, but I still think it was good at the time https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-12-17-18/

    let's say he's good again next year. That would be 2.5 good years, in the majors. Who is more likely to be good, a SP with that track record, or anyone they have in the minors?

    Very true, I'd want another C on the roster I liked. But, even if he only plays 80 games, that's probably more valuable than the next best catcher playing all those games (or, more likely, the 3rd or 4th best catcher on the roster).
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'll say he does not sign today. If forced to choose.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I concur on Mejia, not sure how I feel about not liking stacking. IMO, if you can't find 4 good starters, stacking makes sense, if you are trying to win or find out who might be good in a year or two....but almost no team has tried this yet. So maybe the AAA shuttle just won't work like I think it will. But, we agree on Mejia, give him a shot to start.
  8. Mike Sixel
    All good reasons. Of course, he may want to compete and play for a good/great team in the next three years. He also may get more money on the market....athletes tend to bet on themselves. If he likes MN, he should sign an extension, happiness will mean more than a few extra million. If not, he should go the FA route.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Probably, but it isn't only up to them. People say all the time FAs don't want to come here, why would Gibson stay, and not test FA?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Must be nice.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not a lot of good long term options left, I don't think, in free agency. Somehow they need to find three or four starters in the next two years. Seems daunting.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I have literally admitted that it doesn't always work, and pointed out over and over that I'm not talking only about pitching. Not sure what more you want. None of which you've acknowledged. And sure, this year, after a decade of terrible pitching, the depth of ok pitchers looks better. Of course, three fifths of the starters leave after this year....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I am a bad singer, and learning guitar player.... Sure.
  14. Mike Sixel
    How have the AAA players they've relied on worked out? Never adding long term assets means every year you have 5-7 holes filled with AAAA players, or 1 year deal guys, over and over. It's how you have sustained lack of success for almost the entire last decade. Did you hate the Castro signing, which is the kind of signing I'm mostly asking for?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Or, we complain because they sign short term bargains, other than Castro. Also, not trading or signing free agents means you play lots of bad players, which no one ever acknowledges when they say don't sign free agents, because the alternative is playing lots of bad players from the minors.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Go look at who else signed the year Diaz did, and recall that the Twins had the most money that year, and spent it on a DH.......and that's the last I'll say, I hope....PS, I said this on sethspeaks.net at the time...so not hindsight.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. But those are two different things.
  18. Mike Sixel
    welcome to the site. If the Dodgers will give the Twins one of their top catching prospects for taking Kemp, I do that. They can have prospect number 30 or so in return.
  19. Mike Sixel
    As a fan, I'd want them to say he's the starting CF to start the year. The next two years rest on him and Sano. What do people want them to say? Because saying he has to earn it is not reality. Everyone knows he's the plan. Everyone.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That's my guess. Yes.
  21. Mike Sixel
    No. Encarcion goes to Seattle.....and they traded Bauers for other stuff, and to open a spot for a certain someone, I'd guess.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Don't you have to have success, to sustain it?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I would assume Sano is your starting 3B, and Buxton is your starting CF....why wouldn't you assume that right now?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Supper.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    And the Rays are giving up one of their 1B / DH types, I believe.....that kind of says who is likely to sign a certain FA.....
