    Boston and the Cubs aren't cutting costs because they don't have enough revenue......MLB teams appear to be owned by owners the least interested in winning of all the sports. (i know you know this, just replying that money isn't really the issue here) Money isn't an issue for most teams, really.....the complete lack of caring if you win, and maximizing profit is the issue (it's an issue if you care about there being better teams, not if you care about the owners making more money, which some here do).

    does the capitalist in you believe in teh draft and salary controls and team control of players even if they aren't under contract?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Not according to the owners. The cubs just don't have any money.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    that's how I feel about not buying and holding Tesla......meh. I've doubled my money that I play with, so I can't complain too much.....but 6x would be better.

    I came here today only to see if someone made this joke!

    Long term I love travel related stocks. At some point, we'll all travel again, regardless of a vaccine or not. Those stocks, the survivors, will go up for sure.

    Not that I'd ever tell anyone what to do, but I'll type a name here for a random reason. Fiverr.....

    Basically for the past 4 months..... I identified 10-20 stocks I like, a lot. Love even. Or, at least the market does. I've bought on dips (as long as there is no news about THAT stock to explain it), and I've sold at 5% profit. This is money dedicated to this effort. I don't recommend this as a strategy for most / anyone else.....but it has worked VERY WELL this year. That's the kind of thing to do with maybe 10% of your portfolio.....the rest should be in long term plays. IMO, of course. As for the "too much money in too few stocks" rubbish. There is plenty of money flowing into the market, across plenty of stocks. There is no bad time to buy, if you have time on your side.

    For that reason, I'm not watching college sports this year.

    He was in this article...... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/statistical-diamonds-in-the-rough/
  17. Mike Sixel
    So, only agree with what the team does?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Jeffers went right where Fangraphs projected him, as did Lanarch. It's not like teams use 7-10 starters and even more relief pitchers in a year...........
  19. Mike Sixel
    Not in round 2 or 3, apparently.......that leaves only 2 more picks.
  20. Mike Sixel
    They certainly have a type. I'll ask what I always ask....how long do we have to wait to judge not taking pitchers early? Because you need A LOT of pitchers, and only 1 first baseman.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Well, I managed to buy two stocks that have gone down the last two days.....so not all day trading works for me....good reminder!
  22. Mike Sixel
    Good for them. The Astros, Royals, and Reds all made pretty much the same announcement today. Well, the Royals really went big on keeping people paid.
  23. Mike Sixel
    they didn't offer a 50/50 split in the future. They also won't open their books to show all their revenue. They asked for a split when revenue was down.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Player salaries as a percent of revenue are dropping. And, that only counts team revenue, not revenue teams make from owning developments around stadiums, or networks, or other things that aren't part of "revenue". Again, why does the revenue matter? The will provide half their services, why should they be paid less than half their wages?
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's not even close. In a free market, the players could go to any team they wanted. That part is never brought up by those arguing that the contracts aren't "fair" because they get paid no matter how they do. They also never point out that the teams pay them MUCH less than they are worth for the first few years of their time in the majors. Much less.
