    Pretty much this, which is sad. So few veterans with value, they can't sell. So many holes, they can't buy. I see lots of sitting around doing nothing much that matters also.

    How do I pick stocks? Hmmmm... Motley Fool, friends, even my sons....I listen to those three sources. It's funny, I have a BBA in finance, and and MBA in finance, and I don't think I've looked at a BS or IS one time when making a decision. Now, my goals and approach are maybe different than many. I am trying to grow thru risk. I have a very high tolerance for risk, but if it goes bad, I bail and move on (DDD and Whole Foods are good examples....even with the bump I would not have made much/any money). I have some simple rules: Invest in companies you have a decent understanding in Have some companies that have moats (Amazon and Shopfiy, for example) Take chances on companies that the market doesn't understand (Tesla) but are really aiming 5-10 years out. It does help I have lots of stock from my employer, so I can be very risky elsewhere.

    What pitchers? Bad pickups from the DFA pile? Good luck. This FO seems even more conservative. The number one pick, in the lowest level possible. A 22 year old, almost 23, going below A ball. Virtually no promotions of prospects. What pitchers are going too learn to pitch?

    Twins daily posters.... Alexa, tell me a joke Alexa.... Have you seen those pitchers?

    Levine.... Alexa, buy starting pitching Alexa.... Sorry, that is on back order, should I put it in your cart?

    Falvey... Alexa, buy pitching Alexa...I have a sale on old relief pitchers....

    Bullpen.

    Can't see the play, but that's one more reason I don't trust Rosario long term, he seems to make bad decisions too often
  10. Mike Sixel
    There aren't many good options for starters. And they choose this bullpen.
  11. Mike Sixel
    He can't do that against people close to his age? Really?
  12. Mike Sixel
    That's what happens when you decide to sign 100 year old free agents, and to trust Hughes. But, hey, we should completely trust them.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Can't wait to read how well he pitched again. Sigh.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It's important 22 year olds​ from top conferences play against teenagers.... I would like to thank Cleveland for giving turley a free out....
  15. Mike Sixel
    you realize that's what people typed weeks ago about all the RPs, right? Almost word for word....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Sold all my disney today (I think I got it all, I have 4 accounts....). Bought some Shopify and am going to put some into preferred stock in a winery.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I agree that was the plan, but it hasn't worked. At some point, you move on from your plan (also, that Chaargois, Burdi, Jay would be ready hasn't worked).
  18. Mike Sixel
    it's not about 1 guy, it's a pattern.....a pattern that is hard to understand. Sub out gonsalves, and put in any RP pretty much. the pattern is clear, they aren't giving any current minor leaguer that is a legit prospect a promotion or chance in MN, despite having no starters in AAA, and few good bullpen options in MN. Waiting for the minor league all star break is pretty arbitrary, when you are hanging onto first place by your nails, imo.
  19. Mike Sixel
    why the heck would anyone trade for Breslow or Belisle? If that is what they are waiting for, um, good luck.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, it wasn't 2 weeks 4 weeks ago. And, if it is only 2 weeks, what are we expecting them to learn in that time? Remember when Berrios wasn't ready, and then he made 1 more start, and all of a sudden he was? That seems, unlikely.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I agree, he should go to AAA. I just don't see what 2 more starts in AA does, what does that do? I'm genuinely curious about that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's very important that a 22 yo college player go to Elizabethton. Man, I hope you are wrong.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Promoting 1 guy means you have to reorganize your minor league system? that's a new one.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm fascinated that both of them got over slot deals, frankly. Fascinated.
  25. Mike Sixel
    people have been typing that for weeks. And yet, we don't. Belisle and Breslow should not be on a contending team's roster, imo.
