    Well, there aren't many competent men either..... But, Melissandre basically controls one king, Cerci survived her naked walk and will rule very differently I'd guess, Asha is the most competent person on the Isles (did they abandon that family totally? don't answer, I haven't seen any of this year on tv), Dani was great, then weak, she'll be back again as a leader I'd think. I don't know what will happen with Sansa. I don't know who/how the Martell's will rule, but they are pretty competent. The basic structure of the narrative is that everyone is flawed in some way, women and men. Face it, ruling kingdoms is hard work.

    Unless you eat his whole contract, you aren't trading Mauer for anything at all. He doesn't hit well at all anymore. No one is taking that contract, no one. And, Kepler or Sano are your next 1B, not Vargas.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Why would that doom him FOREVER? He could DH this year, and practice in the field (at 3B, 1B, and RF), play once a week or so out there. If they are in contention, and they continue to DH Nunez.......that would be criminal.
  4. Mike Sixel
    no chance. I don't know if a number 1 overall prospect has ever been traded.* *I'm sure someone will correct me
  5. Mike Sixel
    Put Sano at DH, or in RF (if he was working on that now, in the minors). I don't get the same feeling others do, that they should be so quick to deal Plouffe, or even move him off of 3B. He's very good at his job, I am not interested in them moving him from that job. This isn't deference to a veteran, imo, this is about keeping a really good player at what he does well.
  6. Mike Sixel
    What would be bad, out of the ones that are ranked? How low would you have to be to be bad at something? I'm just curious.
  7. Mike Sixel
    would be cool if he got some time there in the minors, if they are considering it......wouldn't it?
  8. Mike Sixel
    My point is that I wasn't talking about Buxton.....I was using that as an example to ask if the Twins cared about the minor league playoffs more than the major league team.
  9. Mike Sixel
    That's an example. An example, to discuss if they would be more worried about minor league playoffs than the major league team.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I agree with promotions in the minors.......but if they had no CF, and Buxton was almost ready or ready, they can't mean they'd wait 3 more weeks to help his MiLB team at the expense of the MLB team, right?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure KLAW will have a chat this week, you can ask. Just be ready for "here is the link, read it" or something like that.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Wouldn't doubt that, but not by July, I don't think.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    so, the minor league playoffs are more important than the Twins' success? He couldn't really mean that, could he?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I hope Sano and Buxton force their way up this summer.......that would be fun. I'll keep typing it, Sano should be getting time in RF right now, Plouffe is a legit MLB 3B.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sansa is what, 13-15 in the books, and all her life been raised and led to believe she will be a queen (or something like one), and taught all the womanly "arts" (almost all.....). I guess I don't see why having her be that archetype is bad, especially if you get to contrast that with Arya and all the schemer women in the story. The mistakes were made by her parents, not preparing her for all the politics. But then, maybe they thought their kids would just be in the North forever, and not have to worry about that (which seems hard to believe). And yes, that might be hope more than belief on the women thing by me.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I see little chance the Astros are sellers.....once they call up Correa, they'll be even better.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I can't watch this year, because unlike my kids.....well, I can't watch this year yet..... but my 17 year old's thought is this: too much plot (talking) not enough characters dying. On the books, I don't mind the proliferation of characters, but 1000000 pages on a dude that is just going to die, and not advance the story at all? Blech, And, I mostly agree with Brock, the lack of growth in the characters is disappointing. That said, the events in the book only span a few years.......and they are mostly trying to survive, so it is hard to grow much when you are already in your 30s and only a couple years pass. I also agree that Dany could be unwise (lack of experience, youth, etc), but not be weak like she starts to come across in the books. I'm hopeful her experiences at the end of book 5 change that. I still contend, with all they misogyny, this is largely a series about women ruling the world (either directly or behind the scenes).
  18. Mike Sixel
    yes, he has an updated top 25. Lots of SS.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Buxton is 3 (behind Correa and Seager). Sano is 10.
  20. Mike Sixel
    It is behind the pay wall .....but he now ranks Berrios number 25 overall for prospects. "....good enough for him to pitch in the majors......he has the potential to be a solid No. 2 starter."
  21. Mike Sixel
    Yes. 83 wins.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention that they might actually have 40+ good players to protect next year, if they don't deal some guys.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    They have a GREAT farm system. The comment that they shouldn't trade SANO is not the same as "they should not trade any prospect". Why do people jump to the extremes all the time?
  24. Mike Sixel
    The coverage here is great, thanks to everyone.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Maybe, instead of reading things that aren't in my posts.....just take them at face value. I have not called for Hicks to be benched. I have not called for him to be traded. None of that has been posted at all.
