    IMO, this site takes itself way too seriously. It's fine, those of us that come too often know what to expect..... But, even the contributors take every conversation like it is some life and death thing, and not a few hundred people sitting around a bar talking about trivial sports' topics. IMO, of course.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Most sites was wrong, some have it flipped with De Leon the top!
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'm hoping for international signing dollars. Cash is just money in their pocket.
  5. Mike Sixel
    If they get De Leon and Alvarez or Bellinger, I'm saying successful trade given what we know today. As some know, I posted I'd love all three of those, and I'd put Stewart and Rosario in the deal to get it done.....of course, I know actually nothing about all three players other than what one can read, so my opinion is just one of a random fan talking on a sports' chat site....

    If Gioloto works out, the Sox just passed the Twins in the rebuild speed, and they still have Quintana for 5 years......
  7. Mike Sixel
    I just wish I had not diversified, and put it all in NVIDIA....I'm up between 80 and 200% this year....I literally could have considered early retirement had I really gambled......(like in a couple years). Heck if I had just stayed with my employer......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Most sites have Alvarez as their top SP prospect.....so, their 2nd and 3rd SP prospects?
  9. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, I have suggested trades all over this site, but there are about 4 active threads about what do with Dozier...... I aim for a number 1/2 type SP in the minors, and a legit position prospect or two more SP prospects further away....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Calhoun doesn't thrill me either.....not even sure how I feel about De Leon right now.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That seems more fair, and I've suggested ESan, Dozier, and Stewart in a similar deal.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Way too good for the Twins, I think. If they get both De Leon and Alvarez, the Twins' brass should be thanked, a lot.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I also never did that, I never judged the pick.....I MERELY POINTED OUT HE WAS UP AND GREAT. NOTHING MORE THAN THAT WAS DONE. WHY DO PEOPLE NEED TO NEED TO ATTACK THINGS THAT WERE NEVER DONE? WHY?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Where did I actually JUDGE, or call him a bust, or any other thing, other than pointing out Turner was drafted after him? I'm the one still saying he can play SS for this team some day, so I literally have no idea what you are posting about here.
  15. Mike Sixel
    ? on Mauer? He's gone in 2 years, I don't know what you are typing there at all. "keep trading 5 WAR players"? When have they done that? Santana or Knoblauch? One of those actually worked..... Sigh. Who here has said trade him for the sake of trading him? Other than those arguing against trading him? Yes, the number 1 issue is lack of talent. That's driven by a lot of things, I can't say for sure if it is scouting, drafting, development, willingness to go all in on spending, or what.....but they need more talent.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I predicted they'd draft him....and kind of wanted it, yes. I'm not down on him, I'm disappointed players picked after him are up, and are very good/great. It's not my job to pick the right players......if we are going to judge the success of this team in acquiring talent vs me, as opposed to MLB teams, I'm not in that game....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Darn! That's the one time I catn't listen.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    D12:37 Do you think De Leon and Willie Calhoun is enough for Dozier? Dave Cameron 12:37 Yes. At least, it should be. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/top-21-prospects-los-angeles-dodgers/
  19. Mike Sixel
    Uh, no, that's not my plan, but thanks for putting words in my mouth. Dozier is signed for 2 more years....they aren't going to be good next year, and probably not the year after (if they don't trade Dozier and/or ESan)..... I've never once, until now, been accused of suggesting the Twins act like a small market team. I'm sure birdwatcher and others are quite amused by this suggestion. Trading Dozier isn't about building one class, the first class of Buxton, Sano, and Berrios is already "here". It's about increasing the odds of them having more good players when it matters. YMMV, of course. But I don't personally see a legit path to success w/o trading Dozier for 1-3 legit prospects. In 2 years, Mauer's deal is off the books. They'll have plenty of money to re-sign anyone that turns out great, or to add in FA at that point.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Trea Turner was selected after Nick Gordon....................sigh.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's not a 1 year plan.....that's still the projection even with Dozier, to lose a lot. Isn't it?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Dave Cameron's thoughts: acesfull2312:04 What in god's name are the Rockies doing? Dave Cameron 12:04 Apparently, every year one NL West team has to get tired of their position and try to win prematurely. Two years ago, it was the Padres. Last year, it was the D'Backs. Now it's the Rockies turn.
  23. Mike Sixel
    the other side of the coin is choosing to do nothing, and losing 90+ games again with basically the same roster.....that seems like a very likely outcome to me. Just because they made bad trades before doesn't mean they should sit around paralyzed now.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Few people are truly evil....but that doesn't make them good either. The dudes are funding efforts to basically eliminate anti pollution laws all over the world, all so they can make more money. Sorry, that makes them bad people, imo.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Tough call.... if he's about the same player for the next few years, that's a lot more value than a pick is LIKELY to put up, buy they are giving up upside for sure......
