    You didn't. I never said you did. I say they should blow it up....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Neither are the Vikings......even with Cousins and Jefferson and Cook.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Truth. I should have thought about that part more. If I'm Seattle, I really blow it up now (like the Vikes should in my dream scenario above). They are already in great shape to get the best QB next year. Go get even more high picks.
  4. Mike Sixel
    So....2 good players, a bad QB, and 4 early picks (Seattle should hit on three of those) for a great QB? I'm not sure I do that if I'm as good as Seattle, but they might look at the Rams like I look at the Packers, and do what the Vikes should do.....and plan for 2023 or 2024 being great.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Given the Packers move....I think I deal Kirk now. I don't see this team being better than the Packers this coming year, just too many holes on D. In my dream world: Jets get: Hunter and Cook Vikings: 4, 10, 35 (or even just 4 and 10) Carolina: MN 3rd and Cousins MN: Carolina 1 this year and a mid round pick next year Miami: Thielen and Smith MN: Miami's first this year and 2nd or 3rd next year Then I trade down from 4 and 6 for more 2nd round picks. free agency: Mid tier CB and LB and OL (center or OG) and a random QB Round 1: DL, CB, WR, LB, DL (or LB or CB) Round 2: Defense with 3 of the 4 picks and then BPA or even deal a 2nd this year for a first next year. Win about 6 games, either trade up for a QB, or continue building the D in 2023.

    Your lack of empathy for the people that actually do the work makes me sad.

    Yikes. I guess we'll just 100% disagree on that one.

    Good points! Manfred saying revenue has been tough the last five years......in 2019, revenues went up for the 17th straight year.....and, lest we forget, they didn't pay the players full salaries in 2020.....and revenues are rising much faster than player pay.
  10. Mike Sixel
    the owners have locked out the players. Let no one call this a strike, please. They could be playing ball, if the owners wanted to.
  11. Mike Sixel
    100% yes. Odds are that a player doesn't even make the majors, let alone be REALLY good for a year or two and a legit MLB most other years. Yes. Did he meet our hopes? No, not yet. But I still think he can.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It appears, appears, they weren't close last night, but that MLB leaked they were, so they could blame players today. That is the opinion of more than a few people, though I'm sure others will disagree....and think owners really did move a lot yesterday after not moving at all for a few months.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Given that the majority of players don't sniff free agency, no, this is not the right CBA .....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Look at those odds for greatness for two great prospects.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    This is a great article reminding us about prospects. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/managing-prospect-expectations/
  16. Mike Sixel
    At least two years too long.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Let's just say it's been ugly! But I bought a ton of Nvidia last week.....I made a play on a penny stock that, well, it's bad. But, oh, well.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Same
  19. Mike Sixel
    The logical ranking for him. I think he'll be the starting LF for years, but I can see trying him at SS more....
  20. Mike Sixel
    There's virtually no good pitching in the AFL. Lewis hatd done very little at the plate at a high level. He's got great athleticism, but anyone that is sure he'll hit is basing that off hope more than data. I think he hadt a shot to be great, but I can't ignore the downside risk when thinking about his future.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The Atlanta team made over 100 million in profit from baseball alone, not counting the real estate profits that exist because they got additional subsidies to do that too. And that's the profit after taking out non cash expenses..... revenue has grown much faster than pay. The owners proposals don't even keep up with regular inflation, let alone the inflation in revenue. I'm not anti owners, I'm pro worker.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't listen to announcers, and have no idea why anyone does. I either have no sound, or music.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Interesting. Some changes coming to rights?
  24. Mike Sixel
    So you'd rather have a worse shortstop, and have the pohlads pocket the money? Because they aren't spending it on pitching. They've prevent that. What other position is so barren they need to spend?
