    Nice. What evidence do you have they are going young? the 41 yo dh they tried to sign? Gimenez on the roster? vogelsgang maybe on the roster? All the young RPs promoted to the roster? all the off season talk about adding veteran leadership? And, they authors rarely reply, only a couple do.

    Gest 12:45 Do you buy sano's projections? They are a little loftier than I expected Eno Sarris 12:45 He has elite power. My question is how many plate appearances he'll have and I'm not sure he's injury prone. He might be.

    i didn't think it was false humility, I read it as " i got lucky on this one"....and ya, a bit of not humble bragging. More like, "hey, look, at least I got one right!"....but I can see how you read it the way you did. I commented that I didn't agree MN was dedicated to youth....

    Interestingly, since I started tracking ads, I have not received one shoe or women's clothing ad....on any site.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Maybe you are getting my ads, and I'm getting your ads?

    if they can teleport or mind control, they sure didn't show it in the final battle scene.... Maybe it's like star trek, where they use fancy tech in one show, then forget it exists a few shows later when they need it...

    More than a dozen children made it across the whole US in 4 days, or whatever it was, without adult help? I would find it more likely that super powers were real, frankly.

    so, no art, no public radio, no public tv, no environmental protection, and no health care for the poor (and I believe large cuts to veterans' services).....less money for public education (the true secret to why other countries are "passing" us in education, they started to spend money on public schools!).... this is the US people want?

    Well, this FO spent the whole off season talking about veteran leadership, and tried to sign 41 year old DH types.....so, so far, evidence points to veterans, not youth, as their preference, doesn't it?

    Ha, we saw it last night, and we LOVED it, but plot holes? They don't just kill the big bad guys at the farm, why not? Why don't the good guys ever do this? This was (as usual) my son's biggest complaint. The good guys never take care of themselves until the end. Where the heck did the adults go? They just left the kids in ND on their own? Those kids were trained from birth to fight, and all they could do was run, except the mini-wolverine. Sigh. so lame. This was my biggest complaint. They could have at least tried to fight back, but still been overwhelmed by adults with some kind of weapons that knock people out from a distance. lastly, why the hell do people with guns get close to mutants that have weapons on their bodies? Is everyone just stupid?

    this. I think he has the talent, but he really needs to figure out how to be selective somehow. I don't know how that works.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I like the move, because it frees them up from having to draft a RB. Now they can if they want, but don't have to feel compelled to do so. Still want a RG in round 2, followed by CB/LB/RB/S/OT in later rounds. Maybe a C or even another OG.

    Duffey is a pitcher, in his mid-20s. Service time isn't relevant for him at this point. If you want to hold down pitchers for service time, you won't see Berrios until, what, August?
  14. Mike Sixel
    He was pretty average as a runner behind a great OL in Oakland..... But, he can catch the ball out of the backfield, and is rated as a very good pass protector. IMO, he's a much better version of Asiata, who should be able to split time with McKinnon.

    Let's just say I learned a lot about life the last 12 months or so...and I've decided ups and downs are more my style than is boring contentment.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I hope to never get my hope up again....or maybe I do want my hope to get up again, and experience the highs and lows. That's more fun than the "mehs"....
  17. Mike Sixel
    how will they know he's ready, then, if we can't look at what he does in AAA, and we can't promote him until he's ready?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Berrios dominated AAA last year. Meija, from what I read, is ready to be a 4/5 now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Adam Thielen back on the team, 3 year deal. Very good news, imo.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Frank Viola had an ERA over 5 each of his first two years. Lots of teams leave guys out there to learn, yes. If anything, May should have been up and starting longer/earlier. now he's hurt. Wasted all of last year. Arguing May should not have been starting, because of lack of success, is, 100% wrong, imo. He should have been left to start and develop on this roster.
  21. Mike Sixel
    When have they pushed good SP prospects to the majors, and let them stay up for 2 years to learn and grow? When has that strategy failed, since they haven't followed it? I guess I don't see how anyone ever gets promoted to pitch, if they have to be perfect already (ready to succeed seems to be a requirement) and if you won't let them stay up here if they aren't.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Lies of Locke Lamora....either a great movie, or even better HBO series. Read it, Brock.
  23. Mike Sixel
    how is it trolling, exactly? You pointed out they need veteran mentors, I asked who they would be mentoring given that no young players will be on the pitching staff. None. And, you state that last opinion like a fact, which, let's just say, we disagree on that.

    I think we are going to see Logan tonight or tomorrow night. I am not xmen xpert, so I'm sure I'll just enjoy it for what it is.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Anyone see the new KONG movie yet? I think we are going to see Logan tonight or tomorrow night.
