    So, about 5-10 years short of my death........give or take 15-20 years.
  2. Mike Sixel
    so, almost like the party I grew up with.....not quite, but close.....good luck with that.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Sequencing.......

    Uh......I'm typeless on the Suzuki thing. All I do is make sure his option doesn't vest, and let him go. I'll take the risk that if he's awesome, and his option vests, fine, he's on my roster another year. Dozier, I agree, I'd have done that last year. But, now there is less value in the buyout, because he is closer, so the discount is less (imo). At this point, I let it play out 1 more year, and see what Polanco is or is not in AAA. But, I'd at least consider this one, and not just say "are you kidding me".....

    My cousin, a vacc denier and, fluoride is a conspiracy, guy, has stated clearly on FB that he'll vote for Hillary before Trump.....

    Miniatures, books, box sets, terrain, the Dragon Magazine CDs (which fetched less than I'd hoped). But, mostly the box sets and minis and some terrain make good money. The books make enough to be a bit of gravy on the side. A friend does all the ebay work, he gets 20%. I have 5 large pieces of terrain that need to be sold locally, need to get on that. One is a 5x3x3 foot model of Helm's deep I made with one of my sons....

    They don't fetch much, unfortunately. I just ripped up old ones, and scanned in articles I thought I might read, and recycled them. Like, 20 years worth......

    MLBPA and MLB came to an agreement last year about domestic violence. It isn't between the players and teams, in any league, because the unions want consistent treatment, and not to have a team acting on its own (since that is more likely to create situations of trying to get out of contracts and stuff).
  9. Mike Sixel
    That's pretty much Alex Gordon....so, ya, all star if his defense is that good, which it might be in a corner.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I wonder what happens to all those Trump people if Cruz wins the nomination.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Yes, about half the stuff is already gone, including thousands of dollars of D&D stuff......close to 10K so far in that alone has been sold. 2 bookshelves left, still deciding whether to keep it or not......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Getting rid of stuff is really quite freeing...... I like banana cream pie, but if it didn't exist, I don't think I'd notice its absence. Of course I will be reading today!
  13. Mike Sixel
    Uh, that was in response to him dominating AAA......what are you discussing? One of the Fangraph's authors is really, really down on Rosario, btw. I don't share that, but it is out there. As for Kepler, I think he has a shot to be quite good. I look forward to him being out there for a long time.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I am not afraid of Trump. I am afraid of Cruz, and I am afraid of the gerrymandering and lack of term limits that has created this Congress........that scares me a lot more than Trump.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Rubio winning Minnesota is about as meaningful as Mondale vs Reagan, right?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Wow, that's, um, either from a movie, or really creative.......
  17. Mike Sixel
    I like this move for MLB, frankly.
  18. Mike Sixel
    this went off the rails fast......
  19. Mike Sixel
    People suck. Well, not all people, but enough that it can be depressing (or, choose your word) sometimes. This is one of those times. Men, especially imo, we really have a large percentage that have no idea how awful they are toward women.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe SM should be less the platonic ideal, maybe that would make him more interesting. but yes, it is hard for there to be any good story, if he's basically indestructible.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    If he's in FTM, I don't expect many HRs, frankly.......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Buxton's plate approach......Fangraphs has him as the number 2 defensive CF right now, but if he played 140+ games, he might be number 1 in the calculations (funny, another thread imploded when someone said they didn't like him defensively.......), so, I want to see if his hitting gets him here now, not in April or May.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I hate ESPN because it keeps killing my DIS stock..... Oh, and it seems to be (I only see it at work when walking by the break room) a lot of stuff I don't really want to watch anymore, frankly.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Other than Ryan put Antony in that position, and probably there were scouts involved that are still around.........sure.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Buxton has an immensely high ceiling, but I think concerns about the hitting are still legit right now. That said, I'd start him in MN this year, and let him learn here (and help the defense here). Kepler....been a fan since day one, no idea why, since clearly I had never seen a HS European play. Of them all, I think he is the safest, for some reason. I've said all along he reminds me of Justin Morneau, but really, he is faster. Gordon....I was pretty sure he was going to be the pick, and given how hard it is to find SS, I liked the pick at the time. I am still a believer.
