    Well, different people value different things differently, as it were. We also don't know if consistency is more important or not. I'd like to know....but we don't have that data available as far as I know. But, I think your point is, "if he's not that good, he's not that valuable", and I agree with that equation (though I do think Dozier is good...).

    If Meyer comes back fast, and is great fast...then I have to wonder about the Twins' minor and major league coaching. If takes 2-3 years, or never happens, well, then whatevs.* *yes, I posted whatevs, sue me

    I cannot find any analysis of this on line...maybe I'll suggest it to some of the sites?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Maybe I'll look at this tonight..... So, there are other stats that take into account leverage and win probability of every at bat..... Could you measure the value of a streaky player by looking at WAR/WPA or something like that? dozier is 17th in fWAR, but 80th in WPA/LI......does that tell us something? *I know, some of you just puked...

    Weird, he never played in MN for months, now he's back already?
  6. Mike Sixel
    He does? Dang, then I like the trade less than I did....still don't hate it like some do, but now I am even more "meh" than I was before.
  7. Mike Sixel
    don't forget to adjust for league wide numbers when comparing him to Kent.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    that wasn't what you posted....you posted that Dozier is part of why they are losing. Stating they should trade him to improve the team overall is a very different statement...

    Is this a real post? So, Mike Trout is part of the problem in LA? it is a team sport.

    I would consider any of the following: 1. Traded (with other assets if needed) for a very good to great MLB SP who is under 30 and at least 3 years of control left (good luck getting that) 2. Traded (with other assets if needed) for a great minor league SP in AA or AAA and a flyer A guy 3. Traded for a legit CF, who is under 30 with at least 3 years of control left (then trade Buxton for minor league pitching prospects) (I expect this to be met with much derision). 4. Kept on the roster.

    And those are only the errors, his range is "suspect" I believe is how you say it in polite company. I'd almost rather have a not hit defender up here, than an OBP guy who can't field.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Well, you would have carried him on the MLB roster next year, or do you think no team would claim him / sign him? And, they basically sold him for around $6-8MM, assuming they don't tender Santiago. Is that a fair price?

    Disney just bough a portion of the MLB streaming company...a company poised to stream a lot of other sports, imo. I still like Disney, and yes, ESPN is the only reason they are getting "killed" right now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Disney is a smaller part of the book, but yes, bad timing that.....I certainly don't claim to be some guru... No matter how hard Amazon tries to do what Shopify does, they can't pull it off. I think they have a model and software that seems to really work, and the market is huge and largely not tapped. I could also see Amazon just buying them at some point..... edit: shopfiy is also a tiny part of the portfolio
  15. Mike Sixel
    Golly I hope someone copied me on NVIDIA when I first posted about it. Shopify.....I like shopify.
  16. Mike Sixel
    This was one of many sticks in the camel's back of why it was time for Ryan to go, imo. Not so much losing Hicks, but the whole process.
  17. Mike Sixel
    you think that's his true talent level?
  18. Mike Sixel
    It is a very cool story
  19. Mike Sixel
    that maxim is idiotic. Accepted in business, but idiotic. You should set realistic goals that can be done right, on time, and on budget. I have this argument at work all the time.....whomever started teaching that did a real disservice to the business (and engineering) world.
  20. Mike Sixel
    so just ignore the terrible defense? That part counts too. that said, given how awful Buxton has been, I think Grossman and one of the other guys is on the roster.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If the Yankees can clear out McCann.....and they have all this money....I'd sign Ramos if I'm them. Put Sanchez at backup. But, I can't tell if the Yankees really think FA is wrong/bad/evil now or not.......
  22. Mike Sixel
    Garver is in AAA. The AAA season ends in 3 weeks....would you just sit him, or call him up?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I would argue the thing they lost out on was doing something else to fix catcher. It created a "we have a plan" feeling, that prevented them acting in another way. An opportunity cost, as it were (I think there is a different term, I just can't recall it).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, if Suzuki is on the 40 man next year, they aren't signing anyone. And, if he's not, then, there you go, they can sign one.....or am I not understanding?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd argue those are the same k rates and o swing rates, well within the margin of error, as it were, to judge his process. IMO, he needs to figure out that o rate, I don't know how well that can be taught, or not.
