    Less than a week, I'd guess. Maybe less than a day.

    Nice humble brag, btw. edit: ninja'd

    britishcub 2:45 Are any of the players big gamers that you know of? Dan Szymborski 2:45 Many are, though I don't feel comfortable saying their names unless they're public with it. Like Trevor May is a big gamer. Sandy Kazmir 2:55 Would you rather have Logan Forsythe and Brock Stewart or just Brian Dozier? Dan Szymborski 2:55 I think Forsythe and Stewart, but I don't think it's a slam dunk

    My wife and I are doing the home show in a few weeks. We are going with 5+5 as a promotion: 5% off, and 5% to charity. I think. We were drinking while discussing that..... edit: I always wonder, if I do change my mind, and run for office, will this kind of joke hurt me from getting that 3rd vote (besides me and my wife)?

    long term? shopify. How many times do I need to type that. Or nvidia (only made 240% on it last year.....). Or MSFT. Or AMZN. But, the next three years could be bumpy for any tech stock. You'll need a strong stomach. If the 20% tax on mexico is real, I need to see how much GM uses Mexican plants!

    Knowing my RW friends, they won't care....even a little.

    given the double posts, it looks like you already started! Nope, if I was buying a liquor store, it wouldn't be in Oregon. Prices are regulated, and other stuff. They are open on sunday though, so that's nice....

    How do they expect to actually run these departments? There are A LOT of things unique about STATE that some random manager can't know about at all..... edit: we'll just have to rely on life-long "lazy" federal employees, I guess...

    Devil Ray J. Johnson 2:41 Is the A's plan "let's collect as many 1.2 WAR players as possible and try to maximize playing time efficiency"? Dan Szymborski 2:41 I gave up figuring it out. They seem to be trying to pick up flippable guys. 2:42 But people overrate how many guys actually get flipped. Last season, teams that finished below .500 had 26 guys signed the previous winter to one-year MLB contracts. only 7 were traded.

    Dan Szymborski, just now: But people overrate how many guys actually get flipped. Last season, teams that finished below .500 had 26 guys signed the previous winter to one-year MLB contracts. only 7 were traded.

    i'm just responding to the above.....that they have plenty of prospects in AA/AAA, and only really need an ace.....and, I clearly said FA, didn't I?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I also wonder, if the SP can be fixed with the current system and 1 FA, and the offense is "set", why was Ryan fired?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Only if there is demand.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Dan San is on our's*....doesn't mean anything until April. *I think he's on the Twins', no idea, frankly.
  15. Mike Sixel
    IMO, not inspiring.....unless they commit to these guys being as RPs....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Of course 2017 matters, that's not how I read your post at all. And, I truly believe the Rays might keep JDL down longer than expected, to slow his service clock. They aren't winning much this year.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Beer and wine, but that's about the same * *not really, we bought a business last year, paying off some debt
  18. Mike Sixel
    couldn't disagree more. De Leon is about 2018 and beyond, not 2017. the Rays might hold him back, to, you know, not start his clock this year, for example....or to slow his clock. Judging a trade about a SP prospect in year 1 seems all kind of wrong. All kind of wrong. And, frankly, what dozier does this year, unless he hits like Bonds and draws hundreds of thousands of fans, is probably meaningless in the context of the Twins being good in 2018 and beyond....
  19. Mike Sixel
    mike sixel 12:31 First, thanks for the Arizona Wilderness rec. yummy. Second, if the offer was really only De Leon, would you have traded Dozier? Eno Sarris 12:31 No, I don't think I would have.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree I'm losing in the long run. You have no idea what I did with that cash. Seriously.
  21. Mike Sixel
    no problem.....I looked it up before you posted here.....sigh.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Just wait until they start virtually giving away federal lands, which we can never get back....
  23. Mike Sixel
    You know, Craig, this thread is supposed to be a safe haven of fun.....sigh.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I still think 90 or so is about right, maybe 87. In that range. But, you can see how they lose 100 again, I just don't feel that is likely.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Thank you. I've been trying to figure out an analogy that helps with understanding the context of the decision is as, or more, important, than the actual value discussion. I also like, for those that think anyone offered in a trade must not actually be a good prospect: When you go into the grocery store, do you assume all the produce is rotten, because they are willing to sell it, rather than eat it? Though, I don't think it works as well....the point being, players are assets, and you need to best use those assets. Some days, keeping them is the best use. Some days, trading them is the best use, even if the trade is not totally fair....
