    He still does, but he wasn't quite as good last year....but I'd say he goes top 10, or top 5, if he's good next year. Legit.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think the ppoint is....those two aren't in groups that were allowed to do much in the past....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I really like him in the bullpen a lot. A real lot. I really wish he had been up last year, when they needed bullpen help.
  4. Mike Sixel
    he's 21...in AA....I think he has a bit of time...I still can't find a scout that doesn't like his stuff. Agreed on Diaz. he is either an elite hitter, or he's not in the majors.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It is a good positive, imo, that there are some legit candidates here....and that one of them was so bad earlier in the year (and so good later) that it would have been laughable back then to even consider him....but now it is not. I probably also vote Kepler, but if Polanco had been up longer, probably him....I think...maybe.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Easiest vote ever. Alas. Santana had a good year, I agree.
  7. Mike Sixel
    It was a very good trade.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He pitched in AA in his age 21 season, and was good, not great, at limiting runs given up. I think people are underestimating Stewart. I understand why....

    Still not on the Diaz bandwagon for being that high, he was obviously much better this year, but I am still very much Missouri on this one. I just can't see it, as much as I can see Garver. Also, Blankenthorn had a nice season, but I am not as convinced on him as I am on Garver. Two more names I'd have below him. As for Stewart, he's 22, in AA, and posted a nice ERA. While ERA is not the greatest stat, it should not be totally ignored. To me, he took a nice step this year, and I expect the Ks to increase by 1-1.5 per start next year, and for him to be in the Twins rotation in 17 or 18. Until he actually fails, I see no reason to doubt he will succeed at some level.

    Wait, timeless was good? The unending previews looked so bad and predictable.... And Lethal Weapon? I would not have guessed that in a million years. Huh. Well, if I do start watching more tv, at least I apparently have some options.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Wade is the kind of player often under rated....does everything well, makes contact w/o a ton of power, and plays defense. More and more we are realizing having no weaknesses (with no Elite skill) makes a very good player.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, at this part of the list, I don't think anyone is "wrong"...just tiny differences.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Ortiz will be in the top 5, probably the top 3, imo. Lots of love out there, and he was great at his job.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs recently said projecting Hu as a three was agressive, but that his slider was amazing, so who knows.... Seth, I'd have Garver over both Burdi and Palka.....maybe over Wade also. Actually, yes, over all three. So, there you have it, my answer from yesterday. Burdi needs to be healthy for me to rank him this high. Palka, I don't know if the can cut the strikeouts...how is his defense? Wade I really like, and think he has a chance for sure, a good chance, but he's not been young for his league yet. I'd probably have Garver around 9-11, and then Wade ahead of Burdi and Palka. But, I'm no expert at all...
  15. Mike Sixel
    Good points. I am with you, I guess....either way I would understand.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I took the OVER on the Twins? Idiot.
  17. Mike Sixel
    You think Garver is in AAA to start?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Trout. He's the best player....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I know that's a risky thing for me to type!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, those numbers looked A LOT better when I typed them, than they do now!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Garver will be a MLB catcher, I'm certain (barring injury)....imo, he should probably be higher ranked for that reason.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on Dozier. What a year!
  23. Mike Sixel
    If you are making 20%, keep doing what you are doing! I am making less than that, except for the company stock I buy, which is insanely up, and I get to buy it at 15% off....I have considerably more than you, but I'm like twice as old and I get stock as a bonus most years. Then again, I didn't really start until 9 years ago....give or take. I'll look, but I'd guess I have been more in the 15% range for all the other investments. That said, I've been somewhat conservative on a few decisions, which has cost me. And, I badly timed various Apple purchases... Hmmmm....in looking at the stocks I've picked (ignoring the conservative funds in retirement), I'd guess I'm making slightly more than you the last few years. Nvidia has been very, very, very good to me. But seriously, if you are actually picking individual stocks and making 20%.... 1. It wont continue 2. Don't change your strategy
  24. Mike Sixel
    It's a long list! I just thought it was funny since we just spent another 100 comments arguing over him....or maybe that was last thread...
  25. Mike Sixel
    Heck you left off Gordon....
