    I wish I was seeing them this tour! So good.

    No risk, no reward. Gordon is in AAA. The former Yankee is in AAA, IIRC. I see no reason to play Schoop at this point, other than fear. And Adrianza also. I remember when the Twins would refuse to play rookies, because veterans! I'm not interested in that any more.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I said it earlier this week, there is no room for Schoop on this roster right now. Move on.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Cron and Rosario? What was the other move?

    Scott 3:59 What do the Twins have to give up to get Giles and Stroman Steve Adams 4:00 I assume they're not amenable to moving either Royce Lewis or Alex Kirilloff, which would mean someone like Trevor Larnach, Brusdar Graterol or Jordan Balazovic needs to headline a deal. And if they're not moving one of their top two prospects, they may need to include two of that group plus some lesser-regarded pieces. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-7-16-19-5658.html

    3:06 jose: Does Cleveland end up winning the AL Central? OR are the Twins real? 3:06 Meg Rowley: I like the Twins for it
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'd do that. With all the OF depth, and Jeffers? Yup.

    Was Houston overly prudent the last couple years? What is the point of minor league players and building a system that is deep, if you won't trade them when you are serious contenders? And, it isn't to stay in contention forever, no team is built to be great without trading good to great prospects when they are competitive.

    good golly you have issues with people that don't agree with you....You think no one thought this flag was racist until Dylan Roof? I don't think you were paying attention before that. I'm willing to listen to USMCTwin try to explain it to me, but you appear to have no desire to do that.

    It was almost never flown until the civil Rights movement. Plenty of ways to show pride rather than fly the flag of a group that tried to dissolve the union. I don't get how this is controversial. Help me understand. I'm genuinely asking how flying the flag of people that wanted to keep slaves is a good idea.
  11. Mike Sixel
    You don't think people of color can be racist, or, maybe, she's one of the small group that is somehow something else, as I acknowledged is possible. I'll ask again, what do you think most people mean by flying it? Do you really think most people don't know it is racist?
  12. Mike Sixel
    How so? I mean, it is literally the Confederate flag. What else would it mean? Sure, a tiny minority might be, but the majority who fly it? Why would they fly it? Telling them it is racist, over and over, doesn't appear to be working.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't no anyone that does.
  14. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, you should be free to fly a racist flag if you want. That's different than the government doing it.... Freedom is about the right to offend, or challenge. It is also about consequences. So, sure, fly the flag of people that tried to secede so they could keep slaves. Just know that you are telling everyone you are a racist....

    Kepler and Polanco in this section... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2019-trade-value-31-to-40/
  16. Mike Sixel
    Could be.

    It's a business, it is about money. Now, whether that means there is money still to be spent, we'll see in three weeks or so. And this off season
  18. Mike Sixel
    It proves no such thing. Rankings turn out to be fairly accurate, in the sample world. Being wrong about one of a thousand guys does not invalidate anything.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Congrats on the growth! It's a great place for me to talk baseball....

    My wife's brother gave "us" a small Traeger (I think the tailgater) for her birthday. He started a grill cleaning business, and one of his clients didn't want it anymore. It's his second ridiculously good deal (the other was a much fancier grill/smoker that he offered me for a good price, if I was making money......but now he's keeping). I think step one should be to replace the three step heat controller with a new dial version, for better heat control. I'm open for recipe or other suggestions! thanks,

    I did send a follow up, indicating I was talking about KLAW and MLBPipeline....since his reply was a bit "you are stupid to ask"....

    Well, our tax rates are MUCH lower, and all of these studies are from before the massive cuts.... https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2017/11/29/the-countries-most-reliant-on-tax-revenue-infographic/#6da28a3180fc The US is 7% below the OECD average, before the tax cuts. Imagine what 7% could do, let alone what the difference is now. South Korea, chile, Ireland, Mexico and Turkey are the only nations below the US. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/inequality-and-tax-rates-global-comparison

    As a short stop......97 wrc+ in the majors is median for a SS. And for a 2B. Not saying he could do that, but if he stayed around 95, he'd be median to just worse than that for a SS, and median for a 2B (SS are hitting better than 2B this year).
  24. Mike Sixel
    Of course, they want to raise taxes also. there is not enough waste in the government to pay for anything, unless you consider military spending a waste (I do not). There just isn't enough other spending. The US has historically low tax rates, ridiculously low compared to every other modern society. There simply is not enough revenue to pay for all the stuff we should have (like roads that aren't crumbling, and good schools and clean water).
  25. Mike Sixel
    Yes, you can trade players that are on the IL. At least I'm 90% sure.......but I'd think this hurts his value.
