    Because he's signed for one more year. It really depends on if you think they are contenders next year or not.

    I have the conversation with myself often.....welcome to the club.
  3. Mike Sixel
    which is better than bupkiss.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    ditto. and Happ to the Yankees....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Is he wearing down, or is AAA just harder? Or both?* *yes is an acceptable answer, though I'd like more.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Bummer for him.
  7. Mike Sixel
    100% this.

    I have not read one word of the thread, I just wanted to type how much I love the title. Now, I'll go read the thread.

    Expansion of rosters? No doubt, good point. universal DH? yup, that too. world wide draft? Agreed, though that will be very bad for Central American players.

    A great CEO is key for disrupters and smaller/newer companies especially. But, being the public face is different than that..... Clearly it is increases the risk some, but I don't know if Papa John's is being hurt or not with their CEO leaving. Musk leaving? Won't likely be good for Tesla......OTOH, while Apple is a different place now that Jobs is gone, it's still running ....

    I put a quote about Rooker in my new thread in the MN Twins part of the forum.......you may or may not want to read it....

    Interesting comment on the heat.......the globe is warming, so starting later and going only 7 innings might be a thing.....I had not thought of that at all. I agree expansion and 154 games are almost inevitable. Living in Portland, I just don't see how it will work, given the size of the corporate world here, but I do think it will come here. Tampa will lose its franchise, and Portland, Charlotte, and Montreal will get teams.

    I sold it off after the big bump recently. It isn't my style stock, really. But yes, if they drop enough, they can be a good short term play (or boring, dividend, play). shopify....new relic....nvidia.....okta.....activision....not that I'm offering advice, I'm just listing random (ha) stocks....

    After the draft this year, Fangraphs updated their prospect list. Gordon moved up from 77 to 62..... Fangraphs also really liked Lanarch a lot, and had him higher than 20th on their draft list....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Of course, average age is kind of meaningless for prospects, since the minors are filled with players that are older, and not moving up. But your general point that Rooker has a year in professional baseball, and he's hitting well in AA is valid.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    No one knows what will happen if he stays, either.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I predict Dozier is traded for a "meh" prospect or two. That's it. And then the team keeps playing veterans with no future here.
  18. Mike Sixel
    we are in season 3.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    The Astros have the best rotation in the game, maybe one of the best in a very long time.....so, sure, he won't crack the best rotation in the game. How about the Yankees? Or the Cubs? He's better than any Cubs pitcher this year..... Basically, the question is.....did he make a real change last year? Is he now a legit number 2? Feel free to think not, but the data for the last 12 months indicates otherwise. Projection systems say otherwise. I bet most teams think he's a 2/3 right now, and for next year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    gibson is 26th in WAR this year.......what is your definition? he's 49th since the beginning of last year, counting the first half, before he made his change in approach.....of all pitchers with at least 250 innings pitched. His projection for the rest of the year is better than any Brewer pitcher..... I could keep going, but I doubt people are listening.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Wut? He's been a number 2 for over a year now. I really don't get what people are typing about Gibson on these threads.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If they could make cars.....but I agree, someday someone will figure out how to make an electric car I want, and can afford, and actually deliver it......and I don't have any confidence it is Tesla.
  23. Mike Sixel
    just examples.....I can name a lot more. Tesla may or may not be a disrupter, that's really the key question at this point, to me. I'm out, I was in, but i'm out now. but, I get why some people (a lot) are in.
  24. Mike Sixel
    got it. makes sense, if there are any of those left that are good/great prospects. I know people don't think the rankings mean much for these young guys, but they actually appear to be as good a predictor as draft picks......more expensive guys have a higher likelihood of being good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure we should rely on valuations at this point.....its what kept people out of FB and AMZN and others.......I get your point, but I'm not sure I agree.
