    Ok, now I've read it. Some of you are not going to be happy about the ABWIII ranking..... He likes Wade more than most though. Not a lot of surprise, for me, other than those two rankings.

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/evaluating-the-2016-prospects-minnesota-twins/ Here you go, bicker over who is number 12 vs number 13.......

    Where does it stop? "we should give up privacy and secure devices, to protect ourselves."........I know this is a slippery slope arguement, but where does it stop? Detainment of possible terrorists w/o trial? Torture? Where does it stop? I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes to freedom......but then, imo, we are supposedly fighting for freedom.

    If you go with youth, you can send them up and down to AAA when they need a break, or to work on something. If you go with veterans, well, unless they stink (i.e., they aren't just meh), you have kind of stuck yourself with them, with no flexibility. Plus, let's be honest, they probably aren't WS favorites this year. Let's get the youth here, and see what they have.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Maybe an entire thread too....that would be "fun".
  6. Mike Sixel
    It wouldn't be the first time, Vanimal, that the Twins played a player at a position in the majors they NEVER ONCE used him at in the minors, which, frankly, is amazingly bad strategy, imo.

    Well, I had replied.....but it got lost..... No way I extend Perkins, none, nada, nil. That was even before I read Seth's very logical thoughts from him. He's going to be 35 at the end of this deal. There is zero upside for the team to extend him right now. I'd try on Buxton, but you are really rolling the die on this one. If you can't get at least 6-8 years though, I doubt it is worth it. If he would sign the deal you just proposed, I would sign him to that right now. Immediately. Then I'd give whatever member of the FO negotiated it a huge bonus (or, since I'm now a Pohlad, a gift card......).

    The best line is the last....
  9. Mike Sixel
    This is true, I think.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Sure they do.......Cruz wins the most delegates. Which, frankly, is slightly possible.......
  11. Mike Sixel
    an interesting twist: The GOP has a rule you have to get a majority of the delegates in at least 8 contests, or you cannot get the nomination (unclear if that is only on the first ballot). That said, I'm guessing that rule will be changed soon..... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/marco-rubio-delegate-math_us_56cdcca7e4b0ec6725e49623

    this all seems a bit defeatist to me......we can't stop them so why try....
  13. Mike Sixel
    According to 538, trump is nowhere near a lock yet.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree, but unless that trade happens in ST, it won't happen until May or June. Teams just don't make major moves in April. Which, I don't get, frankly. If you lost a SP in April, and didn't have a ready replacement, and you thought you were a contender....and yet, it rarely happens.
  15. Mike Sixel
    And now that we finally have technology that might allow us to have privacy, people want to give that up because they are afraid of the bogeyman.
  16. Mike Sixel
    That has nothing to do with Trump, that is "we need to keep the WH in our hands".
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm going with league median SS, which is quite valuable.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The hardest thing about forcing his way up, short of injury, is that the Twins have a lot of mediocre SP right now, and will they cut a mediocre, highly compensated, veteran, if he's pitching like a number 4/5 starter? Do teams do that? Any team? If not, that means he most likely replaces Duffey, and Duffey has a chance to be more than a 4/5.......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm bullish, if they let the young guys come up and work through the growing pains. If they send them down after a bad outcome or two, well, then I'm bearish on the bullpen.

    This is the kind of thing FG writes all the time. My 2nd favorite sports site.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    that has not been Hillary's message at all. Not even a little bit. I don't love her stance on a few business/labor things, but her message has not been "we have to beat Trump".
  22. Mike Sixel
    Government can't do anything about guns, but it can steal my privacy? If we aren't fighting for freedom, we aren't fighting for **** anymore, just imaginary lines on maps. Whatever happened to give me liberty, or give me death? What do I have to hide? Ask all the people the governments around the world illegally follow and kill.....ask all the dissidents in Africa, the middle east, and even the US.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think this means they are undefeated, and should probably be declared the champions, right? That's what math tells me.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    No, I was lamenting life would just get good again, politically, and then I'd die........
  25. Mike Sixel
    hahahaha, this made me laugh. I assume the movie, not the tv show.....
