    bias, not hypocrisy. there is a pretty big difference, actually....but ya, it does clear your mind and help you realize where those stand...

    I have noticed that, and wondered what it was about....now I've read that article, and I only understood half of it. haven't done math like that in a decade or two....and I'm rusty at best (that's on top of being mediocre at it in the first place). thanks!

    maybe I should stop, to avoid annoying anyone.

    I would consider DHing Polanco here, but also....I think they want to see what Grossman can do. I have no issue with that. I also have no issue challenging Buxton. Eventually he's going to have to hit.

    I highly recommend this book: E=mc2: A biography of the world's most famous equation. *too lazy to figure out how to do the squared sign correctly....

    Fair. As you can surmise, I don't really care about this year all that much, other than seeing progress from the youth, and providing hope for 2018 and beyond. I fail to see how adding veterans, and NOT adding rookies to mentor, advances that process. But, like you say, he knows more than we do, and we are in the phase of their leadership where we just have to wait 2-4 years to see if they know what they are doing long term.

    People think they are deciding the lineup on 14 AB samples? I hope not.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He's gotten worse each year, was cut last year, and no one picked him up....I don't think he's the answer.

    Zero was also "outlawed" by the Church, since there could be no place where there was no God....hence, zero could not exist.

    if you read the Reds' sites, you'd see Votto get ripped for the same thing. Mind. Boggling.

    I like bunching his best OBP guys up. I don't have an issue putting Buxton in the three spot, and challenging him. At some point, Byron hits, or this team is "meh" anyway. You can have a strategy, and go slightly off it, and still have a plan. It may also be a sign, though I'd be surprised, that Paul is thinking long term and not just this year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Wow. That was great. thanks!

    I always use the drunk driving example. Just because you made it home once, doesn't mean you made the right decision, and should replicate your process/thinking.
  14. Mike Sixel
    The recap must be on a site blocked at work. Alas, I'll have to look at it at home.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Clearly we don't have the data, or time, he does....so it's certainly possible he thinks this team is going to compete this year, and should sign a stop gap DH and 2 RPs over 35....but if he has data that indicates that, no one else on the planet has that data.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Interesting. I'd prefer they pursue guys who don't swing and miss, and how make other guys swing and miss. That seems more important (note I said more, that doesn't mean leadership doesn't matter).
  17. Mike Sixel
    What is overkill?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Imo.... Not if you are realistic about this year, no. Trying to be not awful is not a rebuild strategy. And yes, imo, this team is not good this year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Doug's family lives in Florida, iirc. He wanted to be there.
  20. Mike Sixel
    too busy pointing out memes about bill clinton and jimmy carter...
  21. Mike Sixel
    Santana won't have value, but he'll be a quality starter? If he's a quality starter, he'll have value at the deadline. As Brian Cashmen said, you gotta rebuild at some point, and trade off guys to build a sustainable team....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Supposedly they offered the most money to Napoli, but he went to TX. Supposedly even a two year deal....wow. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/mike-napoli
  23. Mike Sixel
    about as good as Ricky Nolasco is at hitting, I'd guess.
  24. Mike Sixel
    How will he prove it in AAA?
  25. Mike Sixel
    from mlbtraderumors... Jw 3:10 Aside from Quintana, who are a few other impact SPs that could move? Steve Adams 3:10 Ervin Santana, Jeremy Hellickson, Sonny Gray (if healthy), Jake Odorizzi, Alex Cobb Brandon 3:55 E. Santana for joe kelly. Who hangs up first? Steve Adams 3:55 No way the Twins move Santana for Joe Kelly Rbase 3:57 Which players are potential trade chips for the Twins coming July? Steve Adams 3:58 Ervin, Dozier, Kintzler, Belisle, Breslow -- short-term veterans. Hector Santiago makes sense if he's throwing well.
