    And Sano, Polanco and Kepler aren't draft picks.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, that's what they hired him to do, right? Take the great assets the previous guys acquired, and trade them off for the present?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Huh? They got the #1 prospect in baseball, a good SP prospect, and two more pieces.....how did they screw themselves, exactly?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Well, they won their division and made the playoffs....so, it worked out well, if not in a championship.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, I'd trade Buxton for Moncada......since risk does factor into value. There has always been real risk Buxton wouldn't hit like an elite player. And, somehow, he has a low base stealing percentage. Moncada has a super high floor compared to Buxton. But really, it was about Buxton and Stewart and 2 random prospects....for Sale. If the Twins were as loaded as the Red Sox, this would be a no brainer. It's what you get when are aggressively spend money on international free agents, and draft better than other teams.....

    In MN, it is not so dependent on property taxes as other states, so poorer neighborhoods can still have good schools. In other states, only the rich hoods have good schools, and even then....
  7. Mike Sixel
    The left has really failed the last few years/decades. I mostly blame our worshiping at the alter of "free market capitalism" as if that actually existed....an alter I used to worship at.
  8. Mike Sixel
    again, that wasn't the question being responded to.......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Well, the parties control the spending and policies, mostly, So, that's more important to me, it's nice that my GOP friends think gays should have equal rights, or we should pay for public schools, but in the end, it matters more what the party does/votes.
  10. Mike Sixel
    that post was pure laughing, thanks! No idea who is "right".....
  11. Mike Sixel
    It astounds me he keeps going on Twitter....I just, I don't know.
  12. Mike Sixel
    "everyone"? I don't think so. Polanco has hit at every level, DanSan was bad/mediocre at every level. No contest, in terms of their likelihood of succeeding.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I really don't think these GM games of smoke screens and other things actually matter.....but I could be wrong.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Wimmers.....he could be the 6th man / long man. I hope he is a RP in AAA, though, as that's his most likely path to ML success, IMO.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Is this one of those slide show sites? .....oh well. As for Diaz, he is a DH for life, right? It just seems so unlikely he can add as much value a players who can play defense also...
  16. Mike Sixel
    thanks, I think we are talking past each other some. And, I don't think the Dems are liberals, frankly. Other than healthcare, I'm pretty sure I'm about the same moderate that I was in the 80s, the parties have swung to the right, imo.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They dismantled the bullpen at the break, and had a higher winning percentage after that....IIRC.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think continuing to remind my friends that deny racism is real....that racism is real is a good thing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I totally recognize that the left is full of elites that want to stifle free speech.....but keep making those statements over and over. It really makes us want to engage with you when you attack people for no reason. Not sure what that has to do with gutting education spending for elementary and HS students, just look at the states the GOP has controlled the last 2 decades vs the other states, are you actually arguing there is no difference in the policies? Is that your actual argument? That the GOP has equally funded and encouraged the value of science, education, and even retraining of older workers? Are you actually arguing there is no delta in education policies, between a group that tweets out Breitbart articles denying science is real, and the other side?
  20. Mike Sixel
    This is completely unfair...........completely. You have no idea if this person has led a group or not. You are arguing that leadership matters, if that's true: Question, do you think actual baseball talent is more important, or leadership? How much difference do you think a leader can make (1 win, 2 wins, 5?)? If it is 5 or more, why aren't leaders paid 10s of millions of dollars per year in contracts? Why did some of Hunter's teams win a lot, and some not win much at all?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I disagree. They are contenders next year....they won 84 games last year. Add Dozier, add a SP from someplace....that definitely gives them a legit shot at 90 wins, imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    You do know Twitter is blocked for a decent number of people.....for those that are, this is a Brewers' trade, not Twins.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Except....the post he was replying to was "Dozier wouldn't be an upgrade"....not the cost of Dozier....
  24. Mike Sixel
    No idea what "lefty parents" have to do with the GOP attack on education....but it is a great distraction.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Yes, because Democrats keep cutting education spending.. And publicly ridicule science and education....
