    Shared revenue DWARFS in person attendance money for most teams in MLB....so of course the money from the playoffs would be spread some, but most of it comes from advancing. The best way to make the long season matter is to eliminate the playoffs, but that isn't happening for any sport in the US. No chance. I have no idea how to make a post-season replicate the opportunity costs of the regular season. Not even a 5 game series really does that. And, unless you reduce the regular season, you can't have too many rounds of 5 or 7 game series given the weather.

    IMO you can't go wrong on Square

    Here you go.....taking some of your advice, and the better teams only get 5 days off this time....NCAA bracket style.... https://mikesixel.com/bracket-style-mlb-playoffs/
  4. Mike Sixel
    Yup. I'll edit that tomorrow.... on the two game thing. Thanks for reading

    Cool beans

    The three division winners and next best team (in my next proposal, going up tomorrow) get 5-6 days off, which I think makes more sense.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Yup, my next proposal works on the layoff (and also decreasing the huge advantage of having to play less rounds)...... And, everyone loves the underdog winning in the NCAA.... It is also why a bigger deal needs to be made about the best record in the first season, imo.

    I wrote a little something on my blog....about blowing up the playoffs for MLB. No one will do it, but they should.... https://mikesixel.com/the-new-second-season-for-mlb/ (no ads on the site......)

    Great trade for Detroit. Great trade.

    My thoughts: AMC might survive, but I'd not buy it now. I'd pay off private student loans, and wait on public ones, just in case they get elminated (I'd guess 10 - 20K might). That's what I've told my two sons with loans. Both are, of course, still making payments as they have more than 10K.......to drive down the principle. Very low risk investment, with the added psychological benefit of seeing debt go away (also, good for your credit rating)..... I think motley fool stock advisor is a good investment for one year, if you want to get started with new stocks.....

    Cool. Hopefully he makes it thru the year healthy.

    I'm worried about Lewis' ability to hit enough that I'd say Kiriloff right now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I need to sell gamestop short or something
  15. Mike Sixel
    I never said draft on need. I said if you draft corner OF over and over, your system will be short on other positions. if you do this, you need to be willing to sign free agents for big dollars, or trade for good pitching. Which they've tipped their toes into, but not enough probably to be great. But let's be real, there were pitchers taken not long after their picks, so it probably isn't black and white who is better. If you don't draft and develop great pitching, you need to get it elsewhere

    Just a player admitting the coaches are not playing to his strengths......
  17. Mike Sixel
    ? the rule that players drafted earlier aren't more likely to be better doesn't exist? Huh. could have fooled all the analysts........and data. Because I never said take a pitcher early, I said early picks are more likely to be great than later picks. I did say that if you consistently take corner OF (not one time, consistently), your system is likely to be lacking in impact players outside corner OFers.

    I'm a huge fan, but he's not what this team most needs, especially at the opportunity cost of not spending that capital on top pitching.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The exact numbers may be off, but not the direction.....or general ranking.....maybe they were only the 25th worst
  20. Mike Sixel
    They seem to be the exception, not rule....the magic rule is that earlier picks are more likely to be great than later picks. Using your first round picks on corner OF at least three times in the last five or so years is going to lead to a lack of up the middle defenders and pitchers.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Sorely lacking in top end pitching.......but if you keep drafting corner OF in round 1, that's going to happen....

    PFF MIN Vikings @PFF_Vikings Vikings team pass block grade and rank since 2014: 2014: 72.4 (23rd) 2015: 67.9 (28th) 2016: 64.7 (30th) 2017: 71.9 (17th) 2018: 63.6 (27th) 2019: 63.0 (27th) 2020: 55.5 (29th) Seriously. If I was the owner, I'd fire the FO and coaches at this point.....and people blame Cousins....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Sigh.
  24. Mike Sixel
    If Hank Aaron can acknowledge Bonds' greatness, we can...... But, fine.....Aaron is in my top 3.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Aaron likely took greenies.... also, so what?
