    Still not on the Diaz bandwagon for being that high, he was obviously much better this year, but I am still very much Missouri on this one. I just can't see it, as much as I can see Garver. Also, Blankenthorn had a nice season, but I am not as convinced on him as I am on Garver. Two more names I'd have below him. As for Stewart, he's 22, in AA, and posted a nice ERA. While ERA is not the greatest stat, it should not be totally ignored. To me, he took a nice step this year, and I expect the Ks to increase by 1-1.5 per start next year, and for him to be in the Twins rotation in 17 or 18. Until he actually fails, I see no reason to doubt he will succeed at some level.

    They never put a new one up? Huh. Interesting. I figured they'd put a new one up. I know if I was in charge, I would have put up one acknowledging what I did, making fun of myself, and still pointing out why Pence was the better person. Take advantage of all the eyes. But, the GOP is unable to laugh at itself, frankly. (not sure the dems are any better)

    You have Mauer, Park, and Vargas all on the roster? That's a pretty thin bench...
  4. Mike Sixel
    They have NOT LOST IN DAYS! So awesome.
  5. Mike Sixel
    so it's better to squeak into the playoffs than win so many games you have one of the best records ever? Not sure I follow...
  6. Mike Sixel
    I thought Pence won the debate, didn't we read that before it started? BTW, I didn't check, how much did the actual post vary from the early post?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Wait, timeless was good? The unending previews looked so bad and predictable.... And Lethal Weapon? I would not have guessed that in a million years. Huh. Well, if I do start watching more tv, at least I apparently have some options.

    the lack of ability to track hours is a BS excuse. There are about a million easy ways to pay them more, none of which require creating some kind of fake administrative burden.
  9. Mike Sixel
    BS, and everyone knows it.... "hey, just don't punch in until 8, even though you are already here" "I know you just punched out, but can you finish cleaning before you leave" and so on and so on. Deplorable for billionaires....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Which neither party actually cares all that much about, at least the nationally elected ones...
  11. Mike Sixel
    Taylor Rogers is not a MLB SP. No way, imo. Grossman is one of the worst defensive players in MLB, no way this team should have that on the roster. The pitchers need help. I can't see starting 2 rookie catchers, I think you need at least 1 guy that has been in the majors before. No way I keep Dozier, they need more young players, that will help in 2020 and beyond.

    Wade is the kind of player often under rated....does everything well, makes contact w/o a ton of power, and plays defense. More and more we are realizing having no weaknesses (with no Elite skill) makes a very good player.
  13. Mike Sixel
    one of the reasons I left the party in the 90s despite being on short lists..... It was changing people in ways I didn't like.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Me neither, that was sarcasm....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I really liked McCain. Palin and the thought of all three branches being controlled by those that would, imo, take our freedoms away, was more than I could handle, so even w/o Palin, I might have voted Obama. I remember when people like McCain were the norm, not the exception.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Isn't Santana under 24? Is he close.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Of the three....he was the least worse...
  18. Mike Sixel
    Lots of opportunity for fear in that situation....which is why the FO, analytics team, and manager should talk about it ahead of time, so that there is no decision to make, you just do the right thing.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Other than, you know, trying to figure out what to do with Vargas... They can't just ignore everything else. Coaches, players, rosters, scouts, it all needs to be looked at.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't think so, but I get your point. It was about keeping his best option available, rather than "wasting" him. You see this all the time in life, people fear using their best, because they want it there "just in case I need it". Once you use your best option, then what? That's the fear....
  21. Mike Sixel
    It has nothing to do with logic, but fear aversion, which is natural. Did you read the part about risk? It wasn't a defense. No one is defending him. Craig was trying to explain his action.
  22. Mike Sixel
    This is a great article: http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/10/05/buck-showalter-wasnt-dumb-he-was-scared/

    I agree, the CHOICE of Palin sealed the deal. It also completely ceded the party to the right wing, which may have been inevitable anyway, but is sped up the process.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Grossman is a horrible defender. He should never play the OF for this team again. And, I love that you put this out here, thanks,
  25. Mike Sixel
    Holy heck! Those bad numbers are really bad.
