    It's still baffling how badly that one went.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Linking it to employment is a disaster, it locks you into ***** jobs for sure.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I can see full stadiums for sure, but not with locals....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Wowsers. It's such a tiny market.

    Ya, we are moving to the city this coming weekend, already had more than a few people question my sanity, and hoping I have a gun or three to protect myself. This despite the low crime rate in that part of Portland. There is an african american owned winery here (there aren't many). Walking in there, and sometimes being the minority in the tasting room, is fascinating. I know more than a few that won't go there....which is sad, the wine is good.

    I'm no expert, I just have a bit of knowledge from both the regulator and insurer side. I'm certainly open to ideas at this point. I see at least 2 more states will expand Medicaid now...probably another 5 more.

    That could be partly because Dozier hit 42 HRs, meaning he wasn't on base 42 times when he did get a hit....and he hit in front of Sano (not that moving Dozier to 3rd changes that).

    Once per game, is, what? 155 at bats, or 25% of at bats? That's a lot of at bats.

    I'm not saying they could have gotten anything, my comment was that if Nunez can fetch a legit SP, that I'm surprised they couldn't get anything for anyone (other than Span and Revere). I had forgotten about Milone, frankly. No idea what Willingham would have fetched. Perkins is the only sure fire miss on the list. On topic: The Sox could be really good fast, if the pitchers they got from WAS work out, and they can finally find a few hitters. But then, that's true of most teams (if it all works out, it would make them good).

    I am going with 3.86754623 WAR, give or take... I think he's going to be quite good this year.

    At most companies, if all you do is say why every idea is bad without offering an alternative, you get fired. In Congress, you get re-elected.

    This just shows, imo, what an awful job they did drafting and developing the end of Ryan's first term....and no, I'm not blaming RYAN, I'm talking about the entire organization there. Willingham, imo, isn't hindsight. Many pushed for him to be dealt, and I recall reading on mlbtraderumors that the Twins wouldn't because "we aren't a farm team for others teams" or something like that. Or maybe I dreamed that, but I think not.... Perkins was a classic no brainer move, they didn't make. I still have no idea why.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. It's easy to say ahead of time you need to be patient, it is less easy/fun to be so when needed. Kind of like starting a business, you know you'll lose money at first, but even though you PLAN FOR IT, doesn't mean you like it....

    this part from Seth seems pretty clear: I have no problem with the coach pulling the player... he likely would have been hurt had he come up to bat again, something I also have no problem with, unless it's close to the head.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Empathy is hard, that's what Brock is also saying....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.

    I more lament not just calling up the young RPs and SPs sooner, and letting them sink or swim over two years, than not making trades. But, if you can get a legit number 5 starter for Nunez, you should be able to get something for others in the last 7 years, I'd think.....so, I'm not sure they had no one to deal.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd probably move Moncada to CF already....and have him in AAA nearly all year, unless they are good somehow. I predict they are bad, and Quintana and Robertson are dealt. Maybe Abreu, but if he's good, then maybe they aren't bad enough to sell it all off.... They'll pick in the top 5, imo, and their minors will be loaded. They'll just have to be good at development for this plan to work out.
  20. Mike Sixel
    There is no guarantee he'll hit at that level if he hits leadoff, either. And the data is clear, it is fairly random. I'd prefer Dozier hit 2nd or 3rd, but I'm not sure how much it really matters, as long as he's in the top 3-4 in the order so he gets more ABs than others....
  21. Mike Sixel
    They also only project Meija for 65, but think he's the number 5 starter. Given the IPs projection, it looks more like they think Duffey is the number 5 to start, and the paragraph is off..... If Berrios puts up that much WAR in that few innings, people here will be happy.
  22. Mike Sixel
    You'd think at some point, someone in DC would realize it is not an elastic marketplace....
  23. Mike Sixel
    first post in the thread is a phillies fan rejoicing they aren't in that part of the list.
  24. Mike Sixel
    AAAAAAAAAAAnd. the starting pitching ranks are up. No surprises. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-positional-power-rankings-starting-rotation-16-30/
  25. Mike Sixel
    No, they should be promoting young players and letting them sink or swim. They aren't making the playoffs this year, they need to prep for the coming years.
