    It's a stupid rule, if you want teams to be able to plan....

    Anecdotes and tiny numbers do not move the needle. The data is all over the Internet if you are interested. The number of people that matter to the business is in wins and losses. Are there a few people here and there that care about one player? Sure. But those people are influenced greatly by marketing and individual success. If sano or buxton or polanco are marketed and good, these people will go see them. Or, all the data on line are wrong, or misleading.

    Oddly, teams can't deal International money until after July 2.....not sure how they get around that, frankly. And yes, that should be part of the deal, 100%, imo.

    Oh ya, I'm married and have two college age sons, and I work at the largest health insurer in the US, trying to manage a massive transition from old technology to new....

    I don't trade him just for 1 prospect, that's absurd. No way the Dodgers are offering one minor league player for Brian Dozier, no way. If so, they aren't really shopping.
  6. Mike Sixel
    People don't buy tickets to 90 loss teams to watch Brian Dozier.

    Where are you from (be as specific as you are comfortable): Born in Lincoln, NE, Richfield, Bloomington, Eden Prairie (went to HS there when half the people grew up on farms), college in Madison (5 years in each of those last 4 places), lived in St. Louis Park for most of the last 22 years, but moved to Portland Oregon last year. My wife was tired of listening to me whine about winter, and we love to hike in the mountains. If I could make money doing that, I would do that all day. What is your age (or age range, if you prefer): 52 How long have you been a Twins fan? As long as I can recall. What have a couple of your best Twins memories been? I asked Lyman Bostock (on camera day while on the field) if he was going to re-sign in MN. Wish he had....A baseball game my dad took me to after I got cut from the HS team, where the SP struck out a record number.....the WS games....games with friends on Sunday afternoons in the dome, where we just hung out and talked. Who have some of your favorite players been? Carew, Puckett, Hunter, Hrbek How long have you been reading Twins Daily (or were you following some writers before Twins Daily)? I followed Seth here, from his site, probably to his chagrin. What brings you back to Twins Daily? How often do you stop by the site? I like the Twins, but don't love them like you all do. I come here for the talk and friendship. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too often, clearly.

    ahhahahaha, one of the most fierce sports cries out there. My wife went there, say hi to Carolynne for me.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Sorry for your loss. Tough.

    Every time I see your user name.....I don't see the N for some reason....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Get in line.

    I read this as "logan's run" at first....

    Nothing the Party does will surprise me anymore. It's almost like they are trolling the people at this point. And yet, my right wing friends that HATE Hillary and Obama are still defending them...Obama was/is the cause of all the divisiveness, you know....

    Seems fair....and these grades point out 1 reason Molitor should be gone, imo. I imagine we'll either see him change a lot this year, or be gone at the end of the year. It took too long for Chargois to get here, and he wasn't great when he did. Hopefully the plan of drafting RPs in rounds 1-3 is gone now.

    A couple thoughts: Sherlock was boring, almost bad. If that's what is happening this year, count me not sad it is ending soon. No one cared about Mary the superspy. We don't want giant earth shattering cases. We want Sherlock Holmes and Watson solving mysteries. Westworld was awesome. I found myself both predicting things and being surprised at things. I didn't like Maeve returning at the end, frankly. Also, they needed to give us more info on what the top secret agenda of the corporation was. Started to feel like Lost or the lame parts of X Files after awhile.....Finally, I wasn't surprised we say a glimpse of "Asia world", but I would have liked to have seen Dungeon world....

    I am hoping they: 1. Sign Reiff to play RT. 2. Sign Zeitler or someone else to play RG 3. Sigh....sign Kalil to play LT (yuck, but who is better) 4. Cut Peterson 5. Draft an OG or OT in round 2 6. Draft a DT or RB in round 3 7. Draft a DT or RB in round 4 8. Draft DB or LB with their other picks 9. Finally win a playoff game, if not, Spielman should be gone.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention, once your prospect says yes, the longer you talk, the more time they have to change that to a no.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Heh, I hope not.....this work of fiction doesn't make it sound all that great....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd think they could do that independently.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Today is NATIONAL BACON DAY! Everything is better with bacon, maybe the Dodgers should add bacon to their Dozier offer...
  21. Mike Sixel
    B-.....even though less than 40 SPs probably really outdid him last year? Not sure I agree.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Don't get me wrong, they messed up....on ethical and baseball fronts, imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    And do what, to get better?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Hard to say, they pulled it after a medical, right? And, of course, he was then later hurt, making them lucky to be right.

    In fairness, it's not like the Muslim states aren't religious. Also in fairness, where, exactly, should we have helped the Jews found a state where they could "feel safe", if not there? Africa wouldn't work. Europe wouldn't work. Asia? North America? South America? There is no safe place for a Jewish state. Now, maybe there shouldn't be a Jewish state, but maybe there should....no place has been safe for them for millennia.
