    I would have taken a flyer on Jay if I was a really bad team. Why not?

    We have no idea how bad their brains are hurt by repeated blows. I would bet every penny I have that baseball players live healthier lives than football players.
  3. Mike Sixel
    This. Diaz was a mistake from day one.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on all this.

    I'm not sure what the FO could say to me when they took a year of FA away from me to make me happy, other than, "here is a boat load of money."

    Get you knees and head busted up, or make millions playing baseball where he might hurt his arm....hmmmm.....

    How many WAR have the AAA pitchers the Twins have used instead of acquiring outside help compiled? Because I guess that's what you are suggesting? And, I'm not only talking about the last three years, nor am I only talking about pitchers, as I literally praised the Castro signing in the post you are responding to. I also said one or two year deals....they were all praised as bargain signings, and they all worked out poorly. Castro was not seen as a bargain, but fair, deal, and he worked out the first year and got hurt. Sometimes players get hurt. Last year I asked for another OF to be signed, so he could sub in and DH. Some of those players worked out last year......and some of them will work out this year.

    Couldn't trade Hicks either. Though he eventually turned out.

    I'm also confused by your posts. While I have asked for the occasional really big contract, what I've posted most of that they not only sign over year bargains. That they could trade for a player like millwaukee did. Or sign players to three or four year deals. No place have I said those have to be the most expensive guys only. What I've said is that only signing one year deals, or the occasional two year deal, leads to having to fill the holes over and over. For example, I praised the Castro signing. Still do. Just as I would have praised a Realmuto trade last year, though am less interested this year. Your posts also don't answer my question, is not adding good players really good if you have to rely on the AAA players they've relied on the last five to ten years? Because that certainly isn't leading to winning.

    Stop caring and only comment here as a way to have something to do. Certainly stop buying tickets.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Like Austin? Maybe Cron?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm confused. Signing four or five players is not standing pat. Like, literally the opposite of doing nothing, which is what standing pat means.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ha. Worst trade ever.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Just because a business does what is right for them, and wrong for labor, doesn't mean labor should be happy, or even content. He should be pissed. They potentially took a year of FA from him, potentially costing him millions of dollars.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Iowa? I doubt it. I'll believe that when I see it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Another player gets more than anticipated....I think maybe one year of data isn't sufficient to say the market fundamentally changed. shockingly....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Who's going to trade for him if he's bad, and even if they do, what awful prospect would the Twins get back? And, what if he doesn't want to sign here, since as Torii and Johan once said, they always play for a future that never comes? What if he gets hurt?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Every player signed so far has received more than people projected. And the Rays just signed a guy for $15MM per year......so, maybe there weren't fundamental changes after all. And, how did signing all those bargains work out last year?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Well, they just spent more on a SP than than the Twins ever have (yearly average amount)....so maybe they are done?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Charlie Morton signed with the Rays, so there's another one gone. I agree, that would have worked here. But it didn't happen.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Now we know why the Rays cut Cron.... They are going to spend money to compete.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No. Discussed above.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Still not enough low $/WAR guys available. Gotta win the efficiency award!
  24. Mike Sixel
    KLAW really likes the McCutchen signing, fwiw.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Not really relevant now. He had one last year, and they weren't sending him down last year. Or am I misunderstanding something?
