    I'm guessing the individuals will be, yes.

    the less information, the more valuable the information. The fact that there are less firms, and greater barriers to entry.....that fact makes it more likely that there are market inefficiencies that can be taken advantage of (like, you know, Moneyball....and never losing 90 games as a GM). Less companies. Less public information. More value in good data.

    Mauer is not going back to catcher. It. Is. Not. Happening. It's nice that you feel it is ok he takes on more brain injury risk......as if the only thing that matters is the number of years left on his contract.
  4. Mike Sixel
    So how does he get better at hitting said curve balls, if he doesn't see said curve balls?
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's shocking that it turns out a huge multi-billion dollar industry doesn't care about it's employees. Shocking.
  6. Mike Sixel
    there is only so much time in a day.....spend that working on your craft, or something no one cares about? Also, guys get hurt batting, why take that chance if you don't have to?
  7. Mike Sixel
    It probably won't stop until people stop being taught to hate others for being different than them, by their parents, their political leaders, and their religious leaders. So much hate, for not good reason.
  8. Mike Sixel
    They wouldn't need saving if he did his job more often.......finding a nut once every week or two, and not doing so most games, that's why they NEED the big hit, they have no margin for error because he and others just aren't that good right now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Where is Sano in your analysis?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Kepler should be in AAA now. What could they be waiting for, exactly? "consistency"?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention ..... the impending 40 man roster crunch. It's great to have lots of good prospects, but you can only protect 40 or them. Buxton, Rosario, Hicks, Arcia, Kepler are on the 40 man. I like Rosario, Buxton Kepler in the OF, with Kepler maybe playing some 1B. Arcia can DH or play RF sometimes. that's 4 OF right there.......Hicks and Kepler keep the guy up that actually produces, send the other to AAA.

    I agree, if they deal, it should be for a catcher or SS. Nothing else interests me, assuming they can't just steal a guy....
  13. Mike Sixel
    In no other sport do they even worry about. They are baseball games. We get to see a wider variety of teams and players. That is a good thing. They should rotate teams like the NFL. I don't know why anyone even thinks about as inter league anymore.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I would not trade him. He's a top 10 3B (imo) and I'd rather Sano play DH or 1B, or move Plouffe to 1B and have them take turns at DH. IF, IF, IF, you can get a catcher you are SURE can be in the top 15 or so, for many years to come, then sure, deal him.......good luck finding that catcher.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't know if I'm right or not.....I hope not. It was fun watching gamecast, yes. I somehow managed to get a ton done at work today, like a scary amount of productivity. and, that was completely a princess bride reference, not an opinion at all.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Mostly dead?
  17. Mike Sixel
    gamecast just had some kind of data error "mauer homers to left". That can't be right, can it?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Players don't play batting order, they play positions. Compare his offense to others at his position. That's how it works, not by batting order. No one is saying he can only be good by hitting only for power.....getting on base 39% of the time with bunches of doubles (like the old Mauer) would be great. He's not doing that either.
  19. Mike Sixel
    No way I stretch him to starter this year. Let him pitch in many games against better hitters.....I like that plan much more.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That's a pretty strong statement. Why do you believe that he offers no value at 1B? I still think Sano is at 1B, but I can see Kepler there, and being valuable there.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Apparently, outlawing the F word is part of what Republicans are doing. FREEDOM! It boggles the mind how many laws restricting freedom this party that wants to send young men and women all over the world "protecting freedom" passes.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Uh, employees of one company went into the computer systems of another company and stole secrets. Yes, this is exactly what the FBI should be doing.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Solid is a good word to use...... Tough call on what to do here. You'd have to consider dealing one of these guys for a catching prospect that can be here next year at the latest.....that would be my preference. If willihammer is correct, and they trade a starting pitcher for a RP, well, good luck to a team that unwise.
  24. Mike Sixel
    long relief is a waste. They only get used when the teams have already pretty much lost. Either a starter, or a 1 inning guy, those have value.
  25. Mike Sixel
    According to the math, it actually works better this way. Fangraphs has several articles discussing this over the years.
