    Dave Cameron's thoughts: acesfull2312:04 What in god's name are the Rockies doing? Dave Cameron 12:04 Apparently, every year one NL West team has to get tired of their position and try to win prematurely. Two years ago, it was the Padres. Last year, it was the D'Backs. Now it's the Rockies turn.

    Tough call.... if he's about the same player for the next few years, that's a lot more value than a pick is LIKELY to put up, buy they are giving up upside for sure......

    No, most sports fans are casual fans....they root and watch winners. So, even if they are competitive, they are still "casual" in the sense that if the team starts losing again, they will bail for other fun things to do. Which, frankly, they should. That is one of the incentives in business, put out a good product, or lose money.....

    The data is clear, winning is what sells tickets. Dozier isn't selling tickets. You can find this information on line, but it is winning that sells tickets.

    I'd rather keep Santana, I think.....OTOH, Pomeranz is under control for 1 more year than ESAN, and for much less money....OTTH, they do need a veteran SP, imo, to mentor the younger pitchers....and Gibson isn't that guy.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Based on them both being the top prospect in all of the minors?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Well, I'd trade Buxton for Moncada......since risk does factor into value. There has always been real risk Buxton wouldn't hit like an elite player. And, somehow, he has a low base stealing percentage. Moncada has a super high floor compared to Buxton. But really, it was about Buxton and Stewart and 2 random prospects....for Sale. If the Twins were as loaded as the Red Sox, this would be a no brainer. It's what you get when are aggressively spend money on international free agents, and draft better than other teams.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    again, that wasn't the question being responded to.......
  9. Mike Sixel
    that post was pure laughing, thanks! No idea who is "right".....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I really don't think these GM games of smoke screens and other things actually matter.....but I could be wrong.
  11. Mike Sixel
    They dismantled the bullpen at the break, and had a higher winning percentage after that....IIRC.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I disagree. They are contenders next year....they won 84 games last year. Add Dozier, add a SP from someplace....that definitely gives them a legit shot at 90 wins, imo.
  13. Mike Sixel
    You do know Twitter is blocked for a decent number of people.....for those that are, this is a Brewers' trade, not Twins.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Except....the post he was replying to was "Dozier wouldn't be an upgrade"....not the cost of Dozier....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Oh.. Mine is up overall... Just not that day. Mostly tech.... And my employer, which is waaaaaay up
  16. Mike Sixel
    who comes up?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fine, but you need 7 starters...you jettison Gibson and/or Santiago, then what? And, it only gets worse if you deal ESan...... These decisions don't happen in a vacuum.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd probably tender them all, but I understand why some would not tender Kintzler or Santiago. That said, if you think you are trading ESan....you tender Santiago for sure, imo. I think Kintzler is replaceable from the minors....and I'd roll those dice this year. Giving up on Gibson, imo, is silly. He has talent. Give Allen 1 more year to fix him. It's not like there are tons of other options.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Really well written!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Just to be clear......Torii has been very clear in his statements about gays and "black" Latins.....this isn't something people are making up. For some people, that's an issue. For others, it isn't. As for your ad hominen attack...well, sorry you feel that way.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Welcome to the site! I would do this. I'd probably ask for another low level minor leaguer, in exchange for taking on the Puig salary.
  22. Mike Sixel
    great post. Let's hope Grossman never plays in the OF again! Heck, I'd rather have him as the DH than Napoli, in a sever PINCH he could play OF for an inning or three.
  23. Mike Sixel
    so, um, don't post opinions on moves for 3 more months?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, it is a thread about the stock market, and my comment was about how ST trading reacted to the good news.....I uh, think that makes sense to comment on. YMMV, of course. I'm not suggesting anything, other than ST traders didn't find the news all that compelling.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The market is flat....so, not sure ST investors agree....is that a controversial post somehow?
