  1. I’m waiting for my employee stock options to recalibrate at month end and then start exercising. I need to hold on to my cash for a while...
  2. Very good OP! Agreed, Buxton is critical for this 2020 season. If he could get into the first standard of deviation on fastball whiff rate, that would be icing on the cake!
  3. how often do you hear of the underling or book keeper getting a slap on the wrist so that they will provide information that convicts the mafia crime boss? At least I see it in the movies... there’s gotta be something there. Look, if you want to adjudicate this as a fan, stop buying tickets. Stop clicking web pages. Separate yourself from Major League Baseball. I’m not happy about what happened with the team. The MLB should have blown that up. The players were absolutely complicit in that, but “took the plea deal”. It’s not the players fault that the jury was rigged. I’m willing to give MLB another shot, even with the stain.
  4. I think Chacon would have to show something in the way of ability to regain said form for him to get the nod over Dobnak
  5. With the volatility of the market, that’s a nice value. A cruddy week for the Dow based on all this Coronavirus fear could drop it in your option range.
  6. This article puts a pretty good estimate on your revenue question of the masks to 3M. https://investorplace.com/2020/03/buy-mmm-stock-not-coronavirus/
  7. maybe a little. I mean this is a big deal and I’m mad at him too, but jeez... if you’re gonna ban everyone who breaks the rules of a competitive sport, your gonna run out of players. I bet there was some difficult conversations in that clubhouse. But when they’re done ya gotta move on (from a clubhouse/player perspective) That’s not to say I’d extend Marwin. I wouldn’t. Poor judgement plus declining play is not a recipe for extension. As players like Gordon or Blankenhorn start to push for big league playing time, it’ll be at the expense of Marwin. But I wouldn’t eat the last year of his contract out of spite.
  8. Comps are a nice way to relate to a player and put some context to their projections. Oh and Cruz comps to Joe Adcock and Roy Sievers. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cruzne02.shtml
  9. to whit, you could have been right about the economic downturn but wrong about which markets the economic downturn impacted.
  10. That would explain it!
  11. agreed, it felt like the timeline needed two seasons but they weren’t getting renewed.
  12. stock market downturn or economic downturn?The stock market is not the economy, and for a lot of people, you may not have missed the economic downturn. about 8 weeks ago Kai Ryssdal of Marketplace was asking the big economic minds if the Coronavirus could be the global boom economy’s Black Swan. They couldn’t answer him then, and still couldn’t answer him last week. I’m of the opinion that out metrics of what a “good economy” is, may be out of date. Inflation for instance, largely ignores healthcare spending and groceries, which are the two largest areas of consumer spend in the US. All this to say, i don’t think there is a clear answer at this point. We don’t know how or agree on how to measure...
  13. fair enough, his time at 2b last year may have been out of necessity. Arraez really came out of nowhere last year. Let’s see how he gets positioned this year.
  14. Blankenhorn has played quite a bit of 3B and a few games at SS too. He seems to be not far from an actual look as a utility player this September.
  15. I don’t trust you, it’s probably shoes
  16. Friday was not the bottom, and it will be a slow recovery in China as inbound container ships at the port of LA are down 25% through April. 2020 is going to be a rough year, but I’m still riding it out. For most of my assets it’s not a loss until I sell.
  17. Fantastic Axel! My wife killed my Bull Dozier shirt.... I need to find me some Twins Zubaz! Man those were great!
  18. Yup, but this correction has been coming for some time now. Hopefully you’ve got time on your side to weather the storm.
  19. I read it the same way. My strategy in this scenario would be to try to have more relievers get 4-6 outs and try to avoid starting a clean inning.
  20. Marwin does, why can’t Arraez? At this point Marwin is my 4th OF. If Buck gets injured Marwin remains my 4th OF and Cave comes up to play RF, moving Kepler to CF.
