    It's fine. Not my favorite, not the worst show. I really enjoy the Empire characters, but the rest are just plain boring. I have not watched EP 10 yet.....but ya, that's what I'm talking about. Wheel of Time was good so far. Unless you love the book and hate changes, of course, in which case, get a life.....

    Like that's a choice they need to make. They could donate hundreds of millions and still have generational cash. Let's not go there. And no, I have never said should reduce profit. I said it's their choice. Every time. Their choice. Not should.
  3. Mike Sixel
    None of those need time in the minors.

    In fairness....there probably aren't a ton of guys to sign or keep 5 years later. I suppose you think they are going to get rid of Kiriloff? Also, it is pretty odd to point out that they signed three guys to long term deals, while pointing out they want to trade all the guys from before them.

    What did you expect him to say? And, how many teams are competitive ever year? Not many. I do agree with your other points, but that's a very different discussion. But, again, that has zero to do with the point that they aren't stupid, actually know something about baseball, etc. If you expect a mid-market team to be competitive every year, you are setting yourself up for major disappointment.

    It doesn't work if need and availability don't align. The SP market next year is not pretty. And the SS market will never be like this again. Passing on signing legit players this year doesn't mean they can sign similar or better players next year....it just means they have money to do so if they want.

    The side that takes the action has the leverage. If the owners don't lock out the players, the players always have the threat of a strike. It's all about who has the leverage and control.
  8. Mike Sixel
    But I'm told that you should only sign free agents the exact year you need them, and never before.....

    None of the top MVP vote getters were on playoff teams. Progress.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  11. Mike Sixel
    How so? The worst teams get to add more players before the best teams add one. The money is capped, so the rich can't outbid the others. The money is a bit more, but not much, than teams currently spend in a draft.

    Like who? Who should have gotten a big contract? Berrios and Buxton are it. There isn't a huge sample size here.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Really? I guess we'll disagree. It's much better than losing ninety games.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Roster space. Opportunity. Budget. What's the point of bringing him back?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Right. Where is the list of players they should have signed to big deals, and didn't? Berrios is one. That's it. Maybe Buxton will be another. That's hardly a trend.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Sure. IF they spend the money to be better. If they pocket it, no. I think Martin is a very good to great left fielder for years. They should move him there now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So....I should trust those sites, all of whom have highly regarded Yankees' prospects? Do people read "national writers" to get opinions about prospects? I'm really not sure of your point here. Also, I'd guess Towns would like to be on a winner.
  19. Mike Sixel
    not even one bit. Sano, Donaldson, Rooker, Larnach, Garver all say hello. If they spend money to get better in the short term, it 100% should not be on a DH only. If they go after on batter, it better be a SS.
  20. Mike Sixel
    There is a lot of hostility toward intelligent people on this board for sure. Also toward math, science, change, and progress.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not at all the point of the post......
  22. Mike Sixel
    The number 1 predictor of future attendance is wins and losses, not players. Fans want wins. The fans that buy tickets all the time, or watch the games all the time are not who the team needs to sell to. I doubt many casual fans give a rat's butt about Rosario winning this year. Heck, more than few serious ones don't.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I mean, how many other players were worth multi year deals that they didn't "control"? Berrios and Buxton and? They signed those players. It is pretty clear they aren't "borderline hostile." Frugal perhaps.....but, come on.
  24. Mike Sixel
    You think fangraphs, baseball America and Keith law, among others, are somehow tricked by the Yankees into over rating prospects? We'll just disagree on that I guess.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but that wasn't at all the point of my post.
