    You should rent my apartment, we are buying a house! Let me know if you want to have a drink, though I know you'll be busy and I think you have family and/or friends here...

    I was more arguing against someone that said the site wasn't weighted.....since it was. I do agree it is on the younger side next year, depending on what they do with C and FA SP..... On the rise? Probably, but player growth isn't linear, as we saw with Kepler this year. I think it should be, and likely will be, doesn't mean it will be. If I was the FO, I'd assume mostly growth from the young players, but again, those are odds, not guarantees. Because there is no good bet on the other side for the position players. On the RP side? I wouldn't trust any of them that were not in the majors last year to contribute. If they do, great, if not, hopefully the two FA I signed plus luck works in my favor.....

    The reviews have mostly been quite good. the weather this weekend is too nice to binge watch a tv show, but I'm sure it won't take long for us to watch it.

    Yes, this worked out very well so far...... Also, Celgene was just BLOWN UP for missing on a drug.......but I don't think 35% of it's value was in that one drug. If you like to bet money, I think this is a decent short term bet. Had I moved faster this afternoon, I would have made 4-5% today alone......That said, this is NOT advice, let alone good advice.....it's just what I'm likely to do tomorrow with a few K.

    you also don't play a competitive sport, with tons of adrenaline and excitement for work....where you fail more than you succeed, and a moment can literally change everything about how you and the people you work with are viewed, now, and thru history, publicly.

    Losing by 5 points is still losing (special elections).....I believe in: the power of gerrymandering to offset history the power of voter suppression to offset history the power of divisiveness, bigotry, and fear I also believe in the LONG TERM maturation and growth of freedom and other "liberal" principles like empathy......I'm just not convinced we are at a tipping point yet.

    you don't celebrate at work, when you make progress on something, or do something well, or finish something? Tough work environment.

    the baseballreference page is weighted by playing time, so "gimenez pitched, or ESAN hit" is irrelevant....the data on that page is clear, by weighted ages the Twins are not close to the youngest team in baseball.
  9. Mike Sixel
    You are a lot more optimistic than I am
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ya, if people are going to rip the Mauer thing, they should also rip the Dozier thing.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    And yet, people will post how so and so won X award, as if it proves something.....like manager of the year, or gold glove.....No one even knows how to measure managers, yet people site that all the time....at least with GG we have decent measures (that show Mauer should be a finalist).
  12. Mike Sixel
    that's a fine line, since "disrespectful" has some pretty wide meaning.....but sure, I'm generally in agreement, if old, mostly white, players and coaches can lighten up....
  13. Mike Sixel
    that page is weighted.....not sure what you mean.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Was not expecting such an obscure name! good luck to him, and the Twins.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Who is this "we" you speak of that will think it looks stupid, because I won't. Celebrate! Enjoy life. You only have a couple handfuls of decades here, enjoy the bleep out of them.
  16. Mike Sixel
    mostly luck and CF defense and regression from several players, not 1 player.... People really vastly underestimate luck or randomness in sports
  17. Mike Sixel
    Always been pro. Very much pro.
  18. Mike Sixel
    practice? we talkin' 'bout practice? maaaan. That said, I'm not defending the pick, or how they use him. I'm just saying I think when they throw him the ball, he's going to catch it, and that his catch radius is good. I have no idea if he can run routes well or not....
  19. Mike Sixel
    No way you trade a potential superstar position player for a very good SP. edit: Oops, I see I read that wrong! so, Archer plus a RP plus Escobar>Sano is the question.......
  20. Mike Sixel
    I share all y'alls feelings on Diaz, but then I've not been in love with the signing since day 1.
  21. Mike Sixel
    You are arguing having Tex, who couldn't walk, ARod, who wasn't playing, Jeter who couldn't field or hit, and other dinosaurs was a good thing? I don't think the Yankees are who you think they are, anymore. the sold last year, and almost made the wild card. They were not supposed to contend this year, as it was a youth movement year, and they beat the Twins in the playoffs.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Much of his tenure was with meh to bad old players, like Tex and others. And, the Yankees have largely not spent big to get back to great. So I think Joe is undersold in his work....
  23. Mike Sixel
    there are 30 managerial jobs......if you want to be a manager, they are all good jobs.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I will say, craig C on nbcsports has a good writeup on this.....and how you can look at both sides...
  25. Mike Sixel
    some truly brilliant managing there.....If he's back or not, meh either way. He's a LOOGY, and they can find a LOOGY.
