    I don't think they keep Berrios down for super 2......a few weeks for a year of service? Yes. But I don't see them worrying about super 2. I like Park's chances.

    Ha, somehow I don't think of FB as a website, but yes, lots there also.
  3. Mike Sixel
    heh.....good one.

    What are your (non-sports) go to websites? fivethirtyeight is number 1 for me, now that Grantland is gone. Great in-depth analysis of politics, science, sports, and culture. The article on p scores, you aren't going to find many places..... ENWorld used to be in the top, but I don't play D&D as much anymore..... justinguitar.com, my goto site for teaching myself guitar, though andyguitar is also very good PASTE magazine for boardgame and beer articles meadowparty (keith law's site, mostly for games and food and book reviews)

    My childhood favorite was Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries......how am I alive still?

    yes for sure on that Gibson deal. Sure, he could blow out his arm, but a hitter could run into Sano, or get a concussion, or blow out his knee playing with his kids. That price for Gibson would look like a bargain now, let alone in a few years. No on Plouffe. I don't know what their plans are, but they should be Sano or Polanco or something, imo, that is not Plouffe two years from now. But, no, no but I guess. I like that he's worked his way into a good, valuable player, but I'm not sure he's part of the next WS team.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Good point on looking thru their lens, I had not thought about it that way.

    My new neighbors are millenials, they agree that your generation is kind of helpless...... Ya, cereal does nothing for me anymore, though I do eat oatmeal, but that's not the point of this holiday, I'd guess.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Most importantly, did Park flip his bat? If not, score one for the "sports is serious, not entertainment" types.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Try it? Sure, maybe.... Use it to replace food? No chance. Eating is one of life's great sensual pleasures.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That's fair. I didn't think that one thru enough probably, just went with a fast "maybe"....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Ya, lots of Twins stuff there......the TR part was interesting to me. I liked his reality there a lot.
  13. Mike Sixel
    No chance on Jepsen. I just don't see the value over using all the guys they've been drafting, or signing whatever FA RP looks legit when the need arises. I would sign that Sano deal today, I don't think he should. Not enough reward, imo, for him. Another $15MM would probably need to be found for him, I think, for his agents to want that deal.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmmm. I am going with no on both. I would be more likely to extend Escobar, though. I have always thought Rosario would hit, but I think I need to see one more year......and yes, I know that increases the cost. Being GM is hard.
  15. Mike Sixel
    oh, I agree with that. But, who would have said, "the price of oil is going to drop, and that's going to cause a huge dip in the market"?
  16. Mike Sixel
    No one credible can predict with accuracy like that. Sure, it will happen at some point , then the bears can say I told you so, like they always do.
  17. Mike Sixel
    So, he's a false idol..........
  18. Mike Sixel
    It's a very risk averse crowd here........
  19. Mike Sixel
    This is the greatest idea ever.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's why, if you don't need the money anytime soon, it really does not matter all that much what happens......now, needing it over the next few years, it matters to me.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Those two things are done in silos......the prospect rankings are 1 person's thoughts.....and the projections come from a computer, all the authors say they don't agree with all of them. Fangraphs isn't some one entity....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Except every number is going up and up.......those numbers will look silly small in a few years.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Brock raises a good point.....saying something nice about another organization is NOT THE SAME as saying something bad about the Twins.......but, in this USA, it apparently is for many people.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, it isn't "they"......it isn't a consensus site rating like other sites.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He does love Park, meant to state that also. He also somehow clipped out the Wander Javier part, and that will be added back in (or is there already when some of you read it).
