    Prom day seems a bit early to me.....in MN, at least, they are mostly in May, which I know because our wedding anniversary is in May, and we spend most years being entertained by 16-18 year olds trying to figure out how to order, eat, etc, in fancy restaurants. I love potatoes, in most any form.

    I think I've seen a lot of disappointment in the prospect timelines, but MOSTLY in starting college players in rookie ball, and how that is a waste, in his opinion.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Over, but man, vegas is good at setting these numbers. If one of their elite pitchers goes down, or Lindor, they are screwed, imo.
  4. Mike Sixel
    They have largely, in the past, ignored the service time issue......which is interesting really, but a different topic. There is a great article out there, and people are obsessing over 1 line in it......
  5. Mike Sixel
    What I've read on line is that teams feel like they have "perfect" information about their prospects, and less perfect information about other teams' prospects, and so risk aversion kicks in that if the other team is dealing this guy, they must know something. Or something like that. I do agree that it seems odd. But let's be honest, people hate change. They invested a lot of time and money in this guy, they know his strengths and weaknesses, what oh what is the other guy really like?

    No idea? Other than, as usual, I am more optimistic than Seth I do agree his counting stats could be down, as they try to get Arcia going also. But, he's 30......not playing him a lot is just a waste (if he's good, and he will be good). I say 25+ home runs, and an OPS closer to 800, so, I guess I am with Shane.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Bonds is the best hitter ever maybe......Sano is not Bonds.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I think Bloomberg might be that person......but he made the correct decision at the time he made it, imo.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Ah, could be, I am sort of working right now.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    i would guess that he'd say "I don't put much stock in outcomes in spring training".
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure he gets that......but most don't think that is a good idea for pitchers. You could ask him.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Entirely too much, yes. But, if you were listening to this conference call right now, you'd be doing this instead also.
  13. Mike Sixel
    KLAW has posted his top 50 prospects.......... Buxton is number 2 Berrios is number 26, and he's a bit confused why Nolasco is up, and Berrios is not Kepler is number 33 If you like this kind of stuff, ESPN Insider isn't that costly......
  14. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to think of a person right now......but I'm sure there is someone out there, but I agree, Warren might not be that person.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmm..... I have always liked Rosario as a prospect, but I have this irrational (imo) fear that this year is not going to go well for him. Well, I guess there are signs.....but for some reason I'm nervous about him.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It is amazing what a great hitter Ervin has been this spring.
  17. Mike Sixel
    guys, have all the optimism you want.....but almost no one hits 40 HRs anymore, I don't want you all to be disappointed in life if that doesn't happen.
  18. Mike Sixel
    both....they didn't have him run much, he doesn't get on base much, and his success rate was low (SSSS* it's true). super small sample size
  19. Mike Sixel
    Over, one last gasp.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Like it or not.....we don't consider the activities public.
  21. Mike Sixel
    You were a bit wishy washy there......how do you really feel? btw, I agree with you about May and Berrios (and maybe Duffey), but we all knew this would happen. Hoping to be proven wrong.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I might be dead in a huge PNW earthquake by then......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they should have done an actual WW movie.......I don't know, that's just me.
  24. Mike Sixel
    He's awesome, but I think he's more like top 12 hitter, than top 3 hitter this year. I think most of the projections here are toward the high end of what could be expected. 28 home runs, .275 batting average, 30 doubles, 2 stolen bases (you know he'll get some), lots of "that ball gets by Sano, and is going to the wall" type descriptions that we will mostly try to ignore.
  25. Mike Sixel
    given the people I know supporting Trump or Sanders, and their national receptions...... I think a real populist that wasn't a psycho or 10000 years old could have won this election.
