    Talent evaluation seems like it is THE thing teams should invest in. While coaching and developing and health and everything is important, picking the right players in the draft/trades/FA is, imo, the most important thing to do right.

    Not only is Joe West there, but pitch f/x says last night's ump is one of the worst in baseball......so, ya, I don't think Merit has much to do with who is umpiring at all....

    I don't know why a RP needs a TON of time in teh minors, especially with how all the rest of MLB is getting younger and younger......there was no reason for Rogers not to be up in 2015, when they NEEDED bullpen help, for example. I hope we see nearly all those young arms this coming year, they only have so many pitches in their arms......

    That seems to be what some here believe, yes. We just should expect multiple years of being one of the worst teams in the league, and even if they get lucky, we shouldn't expect it to last more than a year or two before they are terrible again.

    This is the primary reason I no longer root for individuals, but uniforms. We just don't know what people are really like. Indeed, I have actively rooted for certain Vikings to lose their jobs, or be traded, or whatever..... As for teams.....and team mates, just once I want a team mate to say he thinks the person is bad/wrong/whatever, and he hopes to not be his team mate ever again. But, that almost (never?) never happens. It's sad, really sad, imo, that they just can't / won't do it. As for the league/team punishment....I think I am good with second chances (for most things), but not for third and fourth and fifth chances...And yes, people outside sports get fired for stuff like this all the time, so let's stop pretending that doesn't happen, please.

    Alaska cruise was awesome, and literally the only way to see some things......just don't eat at the buffet once they let people serve themselves. ever.

    Deep blue?

    Poseidon Adventure?

    Let's not go overboard here....

    I voted by mail this weekend. I pretty much voted against any measures that change the law.....that is why we have a representative government, for representatives to pass laws....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Did it involve eating more food than anyone else I have been trying to think of things....like ghostbusters, or planes trains and automobiles.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Or, he had a relationship with the new leader in AZ already......your choices are not the only logical reasons this didn't happen.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agree with vanimal. They have passed every time. All PR bull. Plus, the best players are gone already...
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm all for revenue sharing.....there is no MLB w/o the other teams... I'd really like to see every team throw, say, 75% of their revenue in a pot, and then have it divided up...or something like that. But, no chance.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I can't see any of them starting in AAA in spring, and they have no infielders either. I guess they are set at catcher.....but we'll see.
  16. Mike Sixel
    ha, down from contention, but yes, I can see how you read it that way!

    Rochester looks barren outside the OF right now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Most are too sweet, agreed.

    Paste magazine does taste testings every month or two....and recently did their pumpkin beer tasting. I like the stouts a lot....just drank Elysian Dark O' the Moon Pumpkin Stout. tasty. I looked ahead, not many days I feel all that excited about coming up, but I love that Van throws in the anniversary type items also!

    If I'm Detroit, I try to win next year. KC, MN, and Chi will all be down.....the Tigers still have great players. I think I try one more time with them, and if it doesn't work, they can do what they did 2 years ago, and add great young players.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I would be open to Sano at 1B.....but not thrilled to give up on 3B just yet, plus you have Mauer, Park, and Vargas to play 1B. heck, I'd be ok with Sano at DH full time, if that makes the most sense. It is, imo, bunk that you can't "relegate" someone that young to DH....if he can't field, let him DH full time. DH is a position. But, for now, I'd see if he can play 3B.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Unless you want Plouffe to play 3B, in case Sano can't, I just can't justify him on this roster. Mauer, Sano, Vargas, Park---where does Plouffe really fit...but I think Escobar can play 3B in a pinch, maybe Dozier....I'd definitely try to sign a decent AAA 3B from another system, or ask for one back in trade. Doesn't need to be a great prospect, but needs to be able to play some if Sano can't.

    100% keep: Byron Buxton Max Kepler Jorge Polanco Joe Mauer John Ryan Murphy Byungho Park Eddie Rosario Miguel Sano Mitch Garver Zack Granite Daniel Palka Engelb Vielma edit: forgot Escobar Trade if given a great deal: Brian Dozier Probably keep: Adam Brett Walker Kennys Vargas Stuart Turner I wouldn't keep: Trevor Plouffe (though he's more on the bubble for me) Juan Centeno - Just not that good at anything Robbie Grossman - terrible on defense, terrible. Danny Santana- can't hit, can't field, somehow doesn't run the bases well

    We watched ARC, which I believe is a Netflix movie last weekend, really good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ah, thanks. Still don't care all that much, but now I care a tiny bit...
