    As for the OP.....the Vikings site is getting better, but the game threads are pretty much dominated by a couple of very emotional people.....

    Baseball is a chess match? It is a series of one on one matchups, and doesn't require anywhere near the long term (in game) strategy of chess (or even the NFL, where you disguise coverages, set up later plays with early plays, etc).

    This isn't the thread to rehash this conversation for the 1000000th time...

    Why can't he be a guy like Ben Zobrist, play nearly every day, and play many positions? Now, my first choice is trade Dozier, and put Polanco at 2B (or trade Polanco if he returns a legit SP type)....but I'd be ok with Zobrist type usage.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Individual players don't sell tickets, not Brian Dozier. How many less people buy tickets if they trade him? 50? 100? 1000 (no way)?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Other teams bench high priced players, or play them less, I don't understand why that can't happen here...

    It's just an odd coincidence they never spent big before or after Smith....and that three of their best prospects were signed the one time they did. You are totally obsessed with not giving Smith credit, every time this comes up. He was the GM the one time they did what needed to be done to get more great talent, whether you like it or not.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He shouldn't, agreed. I certainly didn't suggest that. But, what they owe him now has no real bearing on what they do with him...because whomever replaces him on the 25 man roster is likely to cost next to nothing..... Joe for 46MM Rookie for 46.5MM Is it better to spend that .5 MM, and either get a better player (now, or in a year or two with experience), or better to not spend that .5MM and play Joe. That should be the question...

    Uh, you pay whether he plays or not.....someone who is an owner of a bank knows the question isn't about Mauer, it is about what is the best path....Mauer who isn't all that good, or Park or Vargas or Sano at 1B and someone else filling where those players played. The Twins owe Mauer nothing about "retiring with dignity", if he's not good, they owe him nothing.

    Ya, I doubt any real number of people want to make it so women can't vote.....

    And, again, small government republicans would say that's too bad.....that's what small government, low taxes, no mandates from the state......that's what that means in practice.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Other than defense, baserunning, and other things besides hitting? And "disgrace", really?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why can't they just cut him? they pay him either way......I mean, putting aside no one does that....why can't they?
  14. Mike Sixel
    If Gibson isn't a SP for the Twins next year, and Santiago isn't....who are the starters? Santana (hopefully traded) Berrios ???May??? ???Duffey??? ??? ??? ??? I don't get this stuff about Gibson at all.

    Go to Peru before they close Machu Pichu. Go on a Sunday. If you can, go during the world cup.
  16. Mike Sixel
    My point on the fighting was....if they can't get hurt in a fight, I'm losing interest. I mean, one of the things I liked about person of interest was....people die.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Well, if you are a free market GOPer....you won't subsidize small towns, you don't care if jobs go over seas, etc.....that's what free markets are all about. Frankly, I don't think Trump supporters and GOP "thought leaders" have anything in common, other than irrational hatred for their "opponents".
  18. Mike Sixel
    Right....most people aren't evil/bad, they are just wrong on some issues or actions. But, that doesn't make them bad people, and we do especially need to try to work with those that show at least some inclination to move to the other side occasionally.
  19. Mike Sixel
    That's a terrible reason to keep him. How many people are buying tickets depending on what they do with Dozier?
  20. Mike Sixel
    winning sells tickets. A player does not. That's very clear from years of data.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't count on the QO and draft to be tied after the next CBA.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I admit I am losing interest in comic book series, as it becomes clear there really is no chance they are really ever hurt......(which, admittedly, outside of a few shows, no protagonists ever get really hurt).....but most protagonists aren't put in danger every minute, and aren't about fighting all the time.... I can handle that in a movie, especially if the heroes face some emotional issues or something....like parts of civil war, but I don't think I can do it in a series. Heck, at least the Dr dies sometimes before coming back.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, it's not like they couldn't move him back to 2B......it would, imo, be obvious the TWins did it for Polanco, not because of Dozier. I don't agree it cuts his trade value (I also wouldn't do it).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Fair, but I'm all in on bringing up as many young RPs as possible.....
