    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.

    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.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, at this part of the list, I don't think anyone is "wrong"...just tiny differences.
  4. 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.

    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...

    Good points. I am with you, I guess....either way I would understand.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I took the OVER on the Twins? Idiot.
  8. Mike Sixel
    You think Garver is in AAA to start?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Trout. He's the best player....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I know that's a risky thing for me to type!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Well, those numbers looked A LOT better when I typed them, than they do now!
  12. Mike Sixel
    Garver will be a MLB catcher, I'm certain (barring injury)....imo, he should probably be higher ranked for that reason.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Agreed on Dozier. What a year!

    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
  15. 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...
  16. Mike Sixel
    Heck you left off Gordon....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed!
  18. Mike Sixel
    I've never read that from a national scout.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think Rortvedt is too low also, but I won't know until I see more names. I think Granite has a real shot to be a 4th OF. That's worth a lot, also. He has an outside chance to be a regular, imo. This part excites me more already, than the previous ones.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I do, but you've been doing it in every thread about either player. It was probably fair here, I'll give you that. But it is pretty clear you don't like Gordon as a prospect as much as pretty much everyone else I read.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's all luck and money, jimmer. Can't expect the Twins to have either.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I was working....for realsies. But I will soon be offline and having dinner with my older son, and then tomorrow I will spend the day getting to the Ryder Cup, to not see anything.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Pretty serious topics for a game thread......not that I disagree.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Short term trading should only be done in the same way blackjack is, as gambling for fun......it's no way to make money unless you can really make it your job and have a bankroll to start with. even then....
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's what I did with linkedIn.....buy after a crash....
