    I keep dragging my feet on bitcoin...... I have 15K in cash between my two big retirement accounts.....thoughts from anyone? I am NOT risk averse.....

    No chance I pass on elite talent for the small chance someone falls.

    Fair. I just have a REALLY hard time liking the roster not adding 1 young player to a 59 win team, and adding a bunch of mediocre veterans. All so something nebulous can maybe happen. And, while I like wins, I don't care about 78 vs 72 wins. I care about 2018 and beyond being good to great.

    your under the assumption: 1. Hughes will start. I'm not. 2. I should care about the success of anyone on the current SP staff, which I consider pretty much all placeholders at this point. IF Garver and Murphy aren't good at helping pitchers, do you want them catching Berrios and Gonsavles in AAA? If they are good at helping pitchers, don't you want one in the majors, so they are ready to help Berrios and others when they come up? Yes, they know more than I. Yes, a catcher will help these pitchers. But, ESan will be gone before this team is good. Gibson might be. Santiago will be, imo. Hughes will be a RP or hurt. I just can't get all that excited about helping THESE pitchers. Heck, the RP corps is pretty much guys that won't be here in 2 years either.....

    As I said yesterday, to what end? They appear to be going with a bunch of veterans. Who are they going to help develop the first half of the year? Also, if the young guys need so much help, and Murphy and Garver can't help them, how will Berrios and Gonsalves learn anything in AAA with such bad catching?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, they should get a good/decent guy to pair with McKinnon in round 3 or 4 "easily". Lots of backs this year.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I don't really get the psychology here. If he bats first, he feels some different obligation to get on base than if he bats 7th? I do not understand.
  8. Mike Sixel
    That sucks. A year of development, and damaged body. That sucks. Good luck to him!
  9. Mike Sixel
    I would have totally gotten that wrong. My spelling WAR is low

    Food poisoning from a hot dog at the Southdale or EP theater. It hit just as we started to drive home. Almost didn't make it home. Watching someone that clearly had some mental issues eat dessert with her hands, straight out of the buffet on the cruise ship. She just kept dipping her hand in whatever it was and eating it. That's why you never eat the buffet food, people. Several other food poisoning issues, the details of which I cannot recall.

    Right, I have no issue with Castro being the starter right now, but I am wondering if there are any young guys that haven't already been in MN that will get a shot on a 59 win team.....it sure looks like not. That seems awfully hard to believe.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Then do I care if Gimenez is here helping the pitchers? I still vote no.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Legit question I am asking myself.....if Berrios is in AAA, and May is a RP, do I actually care about any of this SP staff 2-3 years from now?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Does anyone think Castro is catching most games in year three of that deal? And while he doesn't have to replace him, he should probably play some before he has to.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Rumor has it they don't think they'll be signing Patterson, as others will pay more....I don't like that decision.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Backup QB syndnrome, and hope, and his amazing ability which none of us have seen....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Oooof. I couldn't finish mine. Your's sounds worse....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Well, AP will likely be a FA March 9..... I'd probably take a flyer on Jamaal Charles, or a 4th round pick for this coming year, to go with McKinnon.
  19. Mike Sixel
    19-0 is badly? Huh.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Really? Wow.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Unfortunately, I am having no issues hearing the webex at work right now....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Rare Ostrich is one of the best meals I've ever had. I think it was in MN, if I recall where, I'll let you know.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Very strong post. Keep on posting!

    Eating Chipotle bowl right now. SO MUCH SALT.

    Huh, and here I thought historically black colleges existed due to segregation, not out of choice. Interesting.
