    I loved the beer part! It was funny. And it made fun of beer snobs too. All around perfect joke, imo.
  2. Mike Sixel
    yay!

    No cash! I have no cash! My 19 yo reminded me this week that he told me to get in when it first launched.....

    I hate that concept so much. Of course there, and of course you have to draft pitchers. And of course they come with risk. So do hitters.
  5. Mike Sixel
    All anecdotal, from what I've read.

    The Mark Appel story is a good one to remember when people say that college pitchers are de facto safer than HS pitchers. He was the best college pitcher, according to scouts, for like 2 years......

    Frankly, I'm glad a 17 year old hasn't thrown a ton of off speed stuff and other pitches that are generally considered worse for your arm. Pretty much every single HS player is about projection. The way some here are typing, they would never, ever, take a HS player in round 1.

    And as usual, I'm thinking WAY more about being ready for 2018 than this year. Do we think Gimenez will be here next year? If not, do we think Garver will be the backup? If so, and there are only a couple hundred ABs anyway.....why wouldn't Garver be here learning from Castro, getting used to being a MLB, and be truly ready to be the backup next year? Conversely, if they think Gimenez will be the backup next year, they should maybe see if anyone wants to trade for Garver at this point.

    So, no calling up a 3rd catcher until the trade deadline? I could live with that, and understand it. But you have way more confidence that trades will happen than I do. Way more. I'm also not sure Adrianza is any better then Vielma (at least not enough more that it matters). Interestingly, I think it more likely Escobar is traded than Dozier.

    I'd probably call up Murphy right now. Giving Garver another month in AAA, or two, isn't the end of the world. but, I'd like Garver up this year at some point (no later than August, since September is a fake month unless you are in contention), because I believe he's the future catcher, and would like him splitting time with Castro next year, and probably taking over more fully in 2019. I know some don't want Garver up and sitting, but he'll be sitting a lot in 2018 too. At some point, he has to come up (assuming you think he's the future). I agree, having Escobar and Adrianza on the roster seems redundant right now. If Murphy or Garver can hit at all, they can be a PH if one is needed.

    shouldn't a home run count as a single, double, and triple anyway? I mean, he did touch all the bases...
  12. Mike Sixel
    Crazy. And, I hope you are right.
  13. Mike Sixel
    i think that's the real question, why is he even on the 40 man, and why isn't someone with a future?
  14. Mike Sixel
    No chance he makes it that far. None. Of course, I could be wrong, but no chance. With the bonus pools shrinking, they can't save enough money to entice him. Indeed, there are 2 teams that pick a 2nd time before the Twins do, so if anyone can do it, they maybe can.

    Thanks to Seth and Keith for these. Of course, I am a KLAW fanboy.....as much or more for his non-baseball work. I have been saying Wright for weeks, and I'd go that way. A legit 3, possibly 2, maybe a 1. As a college pitcher. From a good school. I love Greene's potential, and would have no issue with that pick. In fact, I'd be thrilled with that pick. KLAW just described him as having the stuff that makes HoF types!
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't know much about those markets, and every time I dip in, I get hammered.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's pretty much my strategy also. Just doing what Omaha tells me to do...
  18. Mike Sixel
    Or not.....guess this why I am not a day trader.
  19. Mike Sixel
    KLAW had said it. I have quoted it on these boards
  20. Mike Sixel
    Greene has been described as a possible top ten pick as a hitter
  21. Mike Sixel
    I would like less platooning of Kepler.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmm....all this news....i may bail on part of my portfolio.

    1. You might be good. 2. You might be able to trade them for good prospects, if you aren't good. 3. Well, they signed some bad ones, the only real delta at this point is money. I'd rather they had signed good ones, and not just saved money.
  24. Mike Sixel
    shouldn't it be? If they fail at pitching, they have a good shot at playing the field, apparently. That seems like it would be more valuable. Or am I reading this wrongly?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Bummer.
