    I loved all those parts.... Especially Leia.

    I don't recall reading positive stuff about his D at short, so I'm not sure how he's a Lewis replacement.... He looks the part of a guy that can play around the field and hit. The question becomes, who does he replace? Even next year?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Also they didn't "allow" him to leave. He had every right to leave. I am truly baffled by that whole paragraph.

    You think they are paying different than other teams? Wes will make around 750k after salary, camps, booster money, etc. That is on Twitter. By beat writers. People sharing information are only sharing what is known as it is known. Your opinion on what MLB would do is ridiculous. No company treats it's employees that way.
  5. Mike Sixel
    We aren't owed answers to any of these. What would change if we did? Nothing.
  6. Mike Sixel
    It is clearly NOT about the money, given the smallish raise......he has stated he gets a lot more time with his family this way....

    There is no legal US contract that binds an employee to a company if they want to go to another industry.
  8. Mike Sixel
    The contracts forbid movement within MLB....not to other jobs. They also allow teams to force players to go to another team, even if they don't want to (to keep their jobs). Commitments are one way streets for most fans. Heck, fans boo players that were traded sometimes, let alone players that finally were free to choose their employer and left.....

    This. People are cool with teams literally sending players to cities they may not want to live in, no choice, but a coach leaving for a job he wants is bad/wrong/evil/shady/disrespectful/etc?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Recruiting season is now....not in months. The job starts now, not in months. It isn't a straw man at all. This is when the job starts. Not later. And no, given that the team can fire him any time, there is no obligation at all to the team. Why do people think workers are somehow obligated to stay in a job they don't want anymore? Your last line is the straw man. We have no idea. Maybe he likes the teaching in college. Maybe he's now on a track to a head coach job? Maybe he is tired of working with MLB players? That last line has NOTHING to do with when the job is available at all, which seems to be the issue people have.

    I'm shocked at the last two games. He's a legit number five, maybe four. He's already given them more this year than I thought he would. Good for him!
  12. Mike Sixel
    You'd turn down doubling your pay, to go to a job you want? You'd expect criticism for doing so?
  13. Mike Sixel
    This!
  14. Mike Sixel
    People switch jobs in the middle of projects all the time. Companies lay people off in the middle of projects. Take the money and the job you want....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Would you not let him go, if you were them? He's made it clear he wants to go, he's getting double the pay.... What kind of employer would stand in his way? Would you want to work at such a place? I wouldn't.
  16. Mike Sixel
    You don't get to choose to start a job three or four months later than needed. I have no issue with the timing. It's when the job was offered. I have an issue with the lower pay at the MLB level. Penny wise, pound foolish, imo.

    Really didn't love season four of Discovery at all. I'm trying to be nice here ... Hated the end of Obi Wan. Dude has been killing innocent people for a decade, his alignment detector goes from good to evil, and Obi walks away again. At least try to detain him, anything but let him go free again.
  18. Mike Sixel
    War allows you to compare Arraez to that player, and answer just that question. It's all explained online if you want to know.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Where does Arraez play if not DH? If first, you are benching Kiriloff?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Who is your SS next year? Because you don't keep CC and sign two big time players, probably not even one. Why do we think the other teams won't be better next year, but the twins will? If a team that is on pace for ninety wins isn't going to try to win, why will next year's team?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Wowsers. The dude is on pace to play 126 games, if he had been up all year, and people think he's not playing enough.... Arraez should be the DH and Kiriloff the first baseman. That leaves third base on a regular basis. I don't love Gio, but I'm not sure if Miranda is any better or not. I am not sure I understand the certainty of so many here that Miranda would be better. This is a playoff caliber team, and people want to insert an unknown at third full time?
  22. Mike Sixel
    People begging the team to cut Duffey are mad they didn't use Duffey last night? This loss sucks. But I'm baffled at the logic of many people.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It's been red three times in a row, gotta be black this time, according to the odds......
  24. Mike Sixel
    No one said they were
  25. Mike Sixel
    The last two "rebuttals" have absolutely nothing but snide to rely on. Zero date. Zero analysis. Nothing at all. Just a belief with no basis for that at all.
