    Kind of a "meh" report for a team picking this high lately.....and who traded a starting CF for a prospect. When they picked Gordon....Trea Turner was sitting right there....for example. Let's hope some of the pitchers can step up and be better than projected....

    I think one of the great misunderstanding of fandom is expecting fans to be rational, or to keep paying for a bad product....fans are under no obligation to be patient.

    Buteras offense is worse than historically bad....

    I think the LAD do DeLeon for Dozier straight up, maybe even offer more. He's a 3ish....maybe. And unproven. If Jorge is a high ceiling AA guy, why am I trading him? Also, any plan that has Grossman on the roster is gross, man. I'd rather have Castro or a AAA FA than Ramos next year, I doubt Wilson plays much catcher next year, maybe ever.

    and churches.....individual people only from now on, maybe PACs.....

    You want this court and congress to reduce teh influence of money from unions and corporations? Good luck with that, well, on one side anyway.
  7. Mike Sixel
    For 35 years the GOP has taught that unions are evil, liberal, money sucking.....how do the Dems overcome that in less than 10 years time? It's right in some of the articles out there now....unions are perceived badly, that's how rhetoric over time works....

    I do think packaging Santana, Dozier, and a AA arm to get Urias and a few other prospects is better than getting De Leon..... On Fangraphs, their prospect guy puts De Leon at a 3/4......so, if you are getting him, you need to get two other upside guys also, imo, just for Dozier.

    I actually like this part a lot....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Not in love with keeping Santana, but not violently opposed to not trading him either. I would want one more young player back from LA...... The Vielma part makes me nervous, but it is only a year or so....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Good question, but I'd not worry too much about reading too much....

    This is a duplicate post

    You asked for examples of us going backward in time....I gave you one. right or wrong, the voting rights act is weakened now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Me also

    Centeno and Murphy? Or promote Garver after around 20 games in AAA, or what? Do nothing from the outside to make the team better, or just this position?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'd certainly sign one of them for AAA, with a shot to make it out of spring training. Turner can be in AA if both Garver and another minor league FA are in AAA.
  17. Mike Sixel
    What are you expecting next year? I'm expecting not to win near 81....
  18. Mike Sixel
    voting rights act....just one recent example that may have influenced the outcome of this election...I don't think so, but it might. And it will...
  19. Mike Sixel
    over 100 years of history.

    I'll back hundreds of pages: Every person gets several thousand dollars a year into an account. No idea the amount. The money can ONLY be spent on insurance, education, and general expenses for people over x age, not sure what else. EVERY person. Cut some of medicare, medicaid, farm aid, subsidies for international companies (I believe McDonalds still gets money to grow their over seas business....), etc. this is actually quite "affordable" actually. The government supplies catastrophic coverage for medical costs (for emergencies and life threatening items). All other insurance is bought with the above money or something else. You want to privatize? Fine, but do it so that people w/o money have a chance. Also, I'd say that children in the above scenario? Their money can only be spent on insurance and maybe some education stuff. By the time they are 18, they'll have thousands and thousands. Oh, and money above, say, 10K, can be invested in bonds or other items. Above, say, 50K, in mutual funds or something. EVERYONE gets this money, regardless of income. Tax all income, including my benefits.

    We are WAAAAAAAAAAY overdue for a market correction....not sure about a recession per se.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't trust us either, hence I look at the data, and the pitch framing data seems pretty clear.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Those Twins' years, with GG defense? All Star type numbers.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Tell that to Chicago and Houston....

    In the meantime, the EPA and government land rights will be destroyed. Once you mine and pollute the grand canyon and Yellowstone, it is decades or longer before we fix things.
