    Then he should be in jail. I'm not convinced, are you, that changing the system is going to eliminate this?
  2. Mike Sixel
    dude, nothing else has happened this offseason, hardly, and there aren't any FAs out there. What, exactly, do people expect at this point? They cut Plouffe, and they signed the top player at a position of need......
  3. Mike Sixel
    1 WAR costs $8 MM a year.....that's what they paid. (and that WAR does not currently take into account any framing advantage he brings over Suzuki). But, I agree, there are reasons to be concerned about Castro. I'd rather they roll the die and try to be good, than to sit back and do nothing though.
  4. Mike Sixel
    They weren't getting him, or any good, catcher for 1 year. This is the price of FAs.....It would also be great to get Kershaw for Dozier, but that's not realistic either (and yes, that was smart alecky....this site is too serious lately).
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, you aren't required by your employers (who, btw, can change w/o you having a choice if you want to stay in the industry) to move across the country to keep your job, and then to lose that job a couple days later......so, I can see where maybe you don't have an issue with the rules. That has to have an impact on these guys.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I don't know how anyone can be disappointed in moving on from Plouffe, and signing an actual defensive catcher......two good moves on the field, imo.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm happy for your lack of disappointment. Everyone should be appointed (is that the oppo?).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Bull ****. On behalf of my sons, who are in that generation, you are wrong, very wrong, to disparage an entire generation. But go ahead generalize.

    My company is matching 200% of donations to charity today.....I don't think Trump would like 2 of my choices all that much! Maybe three....
  10. Mike Sixel
    congrats and good luck to him!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I will not judge them based on Ryan tinted glasses....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Seriously, you sent her to pathfinder? Not sure we can be friends anymore....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but there is only so much xmas music I can take.....though I can only handle throat singing in small batches. I actually like some chants for sure also, but that's mostly for meditation.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm not.....but others are, and poo pooing their concerns seems like a brush off of people that others don't agree with, without even making an effort to understand their concerns. I don't know how to make that more clear...chitown got it.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I find it hard to believe the Grantland replacement is still running, frankly....
  16. Mike Sixel
    None of that has anything to do with what I posted.....so far, we are seeing more insiders than outsiders come into the org....that's what people are reacting to. Not saying it is good or bad, saying that anyone who can't understand the angst isn't actually trying at all to understand people that don't agree with them...the major issue in this world, frankly.
  17. Mike Sixel
    In fairness....NOTHING other than two new hires has really changed, right? Still the same scouts, minor league managers and coaches and staff, still mostly the same major league staff.... You really can't understand anyone looking and thinking, "what has changed"? I don't care about this much, but I can certainly understand how people can look at this as the same old same old....
  18. Mike Sixel
    cool!
  19. Mike Sixel
    As a rule, KLAW hates drafts, but he has an insider piece up today with his thoughts on how an international draft could be fairish.... Unfortunately, I have a new phone, and have no idea what my ESPN login is, so I can't read it yet....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Right. the law of unintended consequences is all over any change to the system, and frankly, I have not thought about it much....
  21. Mike Sixel
    On youtube soon? Pretty please?
  22. Mike Sixel
    538 Fangraphs The Dish (Keith Law's site)...books, music, cooking, games, baseball chats.... That's about all I have left, since Grantland and firejoemorgan went away.... I also used to be active on ENWorld and footballs future, but I play D&D less and less, and footballs future Viking's site is just too serious now...I still go to both, but less and less.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree on that....
  24. Mike Sixel
    And, the resistance to this should be pretty easy to understand....the number 1 complaint about the org, from many here, is that they don't bring in outside voices or even players (Jason Bartlett, seriously)...and this looks suspiciously like the past. Not saying it is or isn't, but not understanding peoples' fear about this seems like it is just ignoring the last 20 years....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Lots of former players have joined front offices, and it has completely bombed.....just because you play doesn't mean you are a good coach/instructor/whatever their role is. That said, as long as there is now 1 message, from top to bottom, I'm willing to see how it works. That clearly was NOT the case last year or the year before, from what the pitching coach has said.
