    so, in the next 1-2 years, how do you propose building a legit staff while Sano, Buxton, Dozier, mauer are here? Or are you also going to replace half the good hitters while going from bad pitching to good in 3-4 years?

    It's really, really, really, hard to assess a manager from the outside......on this one, I'll have to just go along with the FO and their decision. IMO, that decision should be based on whether the manager and the FO are aligned on the plans for the next 2--3 years, and how a team should be run. They don't have to totally agree, that's potentially bad, but they have to be on the same page.

    What's interesting about the ads I see is that they are actually driven by the people in my office, maybe even back in MN for my company. I have learned too much about my coworkers....

    One of the newest, favoritest, parts of the site for me! thank you.

    really? How much does everyone have left right now, do we think? Assuming they are under this year's cap, there can't be many teams that have a ton left that are free to spend, can there? I don't know, asking for a friend....

    I totally get that. Not everyone is cultured

    twins traded for 500K in money and have not spent it yet.....so, they would do well, I'd think.

    kennedy grilled the pro gerrymandering side, and didn't make a peep on the other side. He's voting against gerrymandering. yes, it is criminal Obama didn't get to put in a justice. He totally blew that, not pushing hard. The dems totally blew it. Awful politics.

    And, you reduce your odds of scoring more than 1 run. You completely left off the part of the argument that disagrees with your stance. there literally years and dozens of studies showing that sacrifice bunts early in game decrease your odds of scoring more runs, and of winning. So, yes, we are using analytics.

    How is XTC not in? I no longer care even less than I did before.

    It's an interesting question, really. who has more value? a guy that pitches in 50-60 games, 1-3 innings at a time, or a guy that is a number 4/5 starter?* *i'm not saying he's either, but those are certainly possible.....maybe even likely.....

    Old Radiohead when they used guitars is great. new Radiohead drives me insane with rage.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Radiohead. Radiohead. Radiohead. but it is hard to imagine something "famous" I care less about.... My next choice would be Eurythmics, but that's personal. Not sure they are R&R HOF worthy.... Is XTC in?
  14. Mike Sixel
    good point on that last part! Also, Rogers is a good LOOGY, and they have other options. If I'm them, I'm signing McGee from this list, or going all RH RP....

    Wow, short list! Fernando Abad (32)----not all that good/interesting Antonio Bastardo (32)----not all that good/interesting Jerry Blevins (34) — $7MM club option with a $1MM buyout----if he's not worth $7MM, he's not worth singing Craig Breslow (37)----uh, no. Brian Duensing (35)----un, no Zach Duke (35)----good every other year! but old. Boone Logan (33) — $7MM club option with a $1MM buyout----if he's not worth $7MM, he's not worth singing Jake McGee (31)----I'd certainly sign this one. Mike Minor (30) — $10MM mutual option with a $1.5MM buyout----I'd certainly sign this one. Eric O’Flaherty (33)----uh, no Oliver Perez (36)---uh, no Glen Perkins (35) — $6.5MM club option with a $700K buyout, likely retiring, not been healthy. Tony Watson (32)---looogy for sure. least interesting of the three I'd consider.

    there are entire threads on the site dedicated to this, and yes, they led the American League in sacrifice bunts, and that doesn't count all the failed attempts....

    Literally the opposite was typed last year. Are we sure we aren't using results to assess process?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I agree. Very much. I see it as a different, related, problem....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm thinking about selling some other stuff (in my retirement account), and buying a bunch......but not sure yet. And yes, I manage one of my retirement accounts with stocks (and funds)....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I was going there today, haven't checked to see if anyone has yet....

    I understand that suicides are more numerous. And my family has suicide issues, so I don't type this lightly at all. But the person committing suicide is making that decision, and not taking someone else's life. Yes, there are people that suffer because of it, but it is 100% not the same kind of situation, imo. I know not everyone will agree with that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It's a massacre. Wow. Nothing has changed, but one dude / company doesn't think small businesses should use the internet to stay alive....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not wanting to step on the guy=not wanting to twist his own ankle or otherwise get hurt.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    if only sliding head first didn't lead to wrist and hand injuries......
