    That seems to be what some here believe, yes. We just should expect multiple years of being one of the worst teams in the league, and even if they get lucky, we shouldn't expect it to last more than a year or two before they are terrible again.

    This is the primary reason I no longer root for individuals, but uniforms. We just don't know what people are really like. Indeed, I have actively rooted for certain Vikings to lose their jobs, or be traded, or whatever..... As for teams.....and team mates, just once I want a team mate to say he thinks the person is bad/wrong/whatever, and he hopes to not be his team mate ever again. But, that almost (never?) never happens. It's sad, really sad, imo, that they just can't / won't do it. As for the league/team punishment....I think I am good with second chances (for most things), but not for third and fourth and fifth chances...And yes, people outside sports get fired for stuff like this all the time, so let's stop pretending that doesn't happen, please.

    I'm all for revenue sharing.....there is no MLB w/o the other teams... I'd really like to see every team throw, say, 75% of their revenue in a pot, and then have it divided up...or something like that. But, no chance.

    I can't see any of them starting in AAA in spring, and they have no infielders either. I guess they are set at catcher.....but we'll see.
  5. Mike Sixel
    ha, down from contention, but yes, I can see how you read it that way!

    Rochester looks barren outside the OF right now.

    If I'm Detroit, I try to win next year. KC, MN, and Chi will all be down.....the Tigers still have great players. I think I try one more time with them, and if it doesn't work, they can do what they did 2 years ago, and add great young players.

    I would be open to Sano at 1B.....but not thrilled to give up on 3B just yet, plus you have Mauer, Park, and Vargas to play 1B. heck, I'd be ok with Sano at DH full time, if that makes the most sense. It is, imo, bunk that you can't "relegate" someone that young to DH....if he can't field, let him DH full time. DH is a position. But, for now, I'd see if he can play 3B.

    Unless you want Plouffe to play 3B, in case Sano can't, I just can't justify him on this roster. Mauer, Sano, Vargas, Park---where does Plouffe really fit...but I think Escobar can play 3B in a pinch, maybe Dozier....I'd definitely try to sign a decent AAA 3B from another system, or ask for one back in trade. Doesn't need to be a great prospect, but needs to be able to play some if Sano can't.

    100% keep: Byron Buxton Max Kepler Jorge Polanco Joe Mauer John Ryan Murphy Byungho Park Eddie Rosario Miguel Sano Mitch Garver Zack Granite Daniel Palka Engelb Vielma edit: forgot Escobar Trade if given a great deal: Brian Dozier Probably keep: Adam Brett Walker Kennys Vargas Stuart Turner I wouldn't keep: Trevor Plouffe (though he's more on the bubble for me) Juan Centeno - Just not that good at anything Robbie Grossman - terrible on defense, terrible. Danny Santana- can't hit, can't field, somehow doesn't run the bases well

    We watched ARC, which I believe is a Netflix movie last weekend, really good.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Ah, thanks. Still don't care all that much, but now I care a tiny bit...
  13. Mike Sixel
    No one is claiming Landa and keeping him on their roster for the full year, are they? wouldn't they have to?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well, I have never watched SP....but 19 year old pretty much has that on whenever sports are not, apparently (he mentioned it last time we saw him from college). Can I be cool by proxy?
  15. Mike Sixel
    What I would do: Locks to keep: Jose Berrios - JT Chargois Tyler Duffey – Phil Hughes – Trevor May Adalberto Mejia Mason Melotakis – Taylor Rogers Kyle Gibson (trade value is too low, new approach might work) Fernando Romero Trade bait, though it has to be a great offer: Ervin Santana – Probably keep: Michael Tonkin—put him in short relief, give him a shot for bleep sake No need to keep, won’t lose sleep if they are gone: Pat Light Buddy Boshers Ryan O’Rourke Randy Rosario Yorman Landa Alex Wimmers Felix Jorge – DJ Baxendale – Lewis Thorpe Jason Wheeler Zack Jones Ryan Eades Williams Ramirez No idea what to do: Glen Perkins – I can’t count on him at all to be healthy. He hasn’t been for three years. I offer some kind of buyout, and tell him to retire and be healthier in the long run.

    Congrats!
  17. Mike Sixel
    You put more credence in stuff by people here, than professional scouts?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Jose Berrios, maybe.....that's pretty recent.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Lots of HS kids pitch and play other positions. He just happens to be great at both. He's being considered for 1:1.....this isn't some random guy....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I never said there was....you asked if I'd trade him for 2 guys in AA that were similar to what the Twins have..... I'd also trade him for a top 50 or pitcher and a catcher and another prospect.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I would trade Dozier for 2 SPs in AA that are in the top 50-60 of prospects, yes. Not that you asked me....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Welcome to the site. Nice first post.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I imagine Google will kill it again, and I should probably be buying some.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Can we have one thread that isn't BS vs TR, please? Pretty please with ice cream on top?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I guess my equivocating on NFLX turned out to be a bad idea! I have really been indecisive lately.
