    Matt 12:34 Anything pointing to a Kepler breakout this year? Eno Sarris 12:35 Not really. He doesn't hit the ball that hard, and his homers are all pulled straight down the line. He's 24, so I guess age says the arrow is pointing up.

    Ad revenue would go down 6 percent, I'd guess....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Given what I read here and Twitter, yes.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Do people really think those two are number three or better starters? That seems a bit high to me from what I read. But let's hope you're correct.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I've thought about it several times, but I think my time has passed now
  6. Mike Sixel
    Maybe now we can stop reading how these guys don't know stuff about baseball. And, very sad for us readers
  7. Mike Sixel
    Garver more than deserves a shot. He raked in AAA.
  8. Mike Sixel
    How do you plan to get more than one, if you won't pay for one? It is certainly possible enough minor league played work, but unlikely. If people won't sign Yu, due to age, I assume they won't resign Esan either. And, I don't see anyone arguing they are only one player away. People are arguing that they should add talent while Dozier and ESan and Mauer are here and before the current core leaves.

    there are still people saying he won't be a short stop. The fangraphs gut just said it in a chat. I don't think we know yet.

    Just watched dodgeball and war for the planet of the apes in the plane. One was very funny, one had a bad ending

    He and his wife always seemed like they really cared about helping the community. I like that

    They won't be positioned for the next ten years, if they always wait to add pieces until they are only one piece away. They certainly won't be positioned to win in year one of the next ten years if they don't add pitching. Probably not year two or three either, after ESan leaves and they don't replace him. And then why would anyone want to stay, if they see the front office not adding players? Then it would look like when Johan and Torri said it would. I don't think anyone is claiming they are only one piece away. But it is hard to compete if you don't add pieces.

    And KC was done in three years. I said consistently. They also traded, basically, Buxton or Sano as a prospect. Twins never do that either. As for Cleveland, it all came together. But it hasn't for Cincy, the As, Ray's, pirates, etc. Most of the cheap teams go years and years between being good. Most are never elite. If some fans are good with a decade or two between being really good, good for them.
  14. Mike Sixel
    The As and Rays don't win much. As a fan, I don't care if they make some money, or a ton of money. I want winning. Never said what I want is rational. But I do believe that if they won't play at the high end of the market ever, they won't win much. Could be wrong, they could get lucky.

    Sox will deal them at the deadline
  16. Mike Sixel
    Is the answer never sign a big time free agent? Or break the mold? I hope the latter, or it is very unlikely they ever win consistently,imo. I remain hopeful.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There is one ace free agent this year. It will most likely take six years to get him. And he's probably a two, not an ace. I doubt any ace free agent pitcher ever signs for less than four years in the future, probably five years or more. Those wasted years are part of the price for getting an ace, most likely. It stinks, but it is the market. If the team won't go for wasted years, it will have to trade multiple big time prospects. Imo, it is better to waste a year or two of money than to give up three or more top prospects.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So, do what for next year? What you propose will take multiple years. I don't want another year of this core wasted, personally. No team, zero, is built solely through the draft.

    Just finished season one of broadchurch. Intense
  20. Mike Sixel
    You don't think they have room on the 40 man for one good starting pitcher to be added? I do. I guess we just disagree on their MLB quality depth.
  21. Mike Sixel
    No one is arguing otherwise. But they don't have the pitching ready. Should they just pocket the money, or try to get better?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Free agents always look over priced. How does signing a free agent cost them any existing talent?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I don't believe signing free agents or making trades is acquiring a reject. I bet plenty of teams are happy they have players other teams "didn't want".
  24. Mike Sixel
    New England gave up the seventh least points..... Pittsburgh the fifth. They both outscored the Vikings. I guess we disagree.
  25. Mike Sixel
    You think there are seven or eight starters in the system right now? We strongly disagree on that.
