    I do think you can support him and not be a bad person, yes. You and he are not the same person (ha, I assume you aren't POTUS). As for your last sentence, I have no opinion either way.....

    Pretty decent idea, whether the NBA does that or not. I know the NFL has a small performance pool also....... I'd like to see teams that don't make the playoffs get more money in revenue sharing if they win more games....so, there is incentive for everyone to win more games.

    I don't think there is another Marwin.... Nate in Seattle: Klaw, wondering your take on Marwin’s infield defense, which UZR doesn’t like. If he played 2b for a full season, would it rate as average or above average? Keith Law: I’ll guess average but with the strong caveat that I can’t remember the last time I really watched him play 2b. Keith Law: Or anywhere but the outfield, really. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2019/02/28/klawchat-2-28-19/

    Concur on all this.

    Just rest is more important than we used to realize. Gonzalez letting multiple players get rest will help them.

    read the links I supplied, and see if you still think that. Are we judging 26 year olds on half a season, or career and future?

    Mid and long term? Polanco at 2B and Lewis at SS. Maybe as soon as mid 2020...... Gordon is young for AAA, though not young for a "top prospect", so there is still plenty of time, hope, and projection there.....but I'm guessing Polanco and Lewis are always better than Gordon will be. Of course, that's a guess.

    The second link shows how valuable wins are when you are on the edge of the playoffs! Of course, they signed a pitcher last year, to a multi year (though short) deal, who is now there when they need him.....

    Well, facts are facts. Down last year, and probably this year, even after the three mega deals. And as a percent of revenue, even more down. You can find those facts on line. As for assumptions, you are stating you know my, and other's, motivations. You don't.

    What do you mean by bias? If you mean I think he's a horrible human,yup. What's your point? This is a message board, not a news site.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You make so many assumptions, that aren't even close to true here. I don't worship these players at all. As for your last sentence, that's capitalism. And, owners aren't dropping prices while salaries are dropping as a percent of revenue.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Given that no team loses money or value, what risk are owners taking? These aren't like other businesses. Also, the players are talking plenty of risk. Few minor league players make the majors. They are risking not working for real money for years. Labor takes risks every day, just a different kind. And, given they aren't billionaires, many of whom inherited the teams and risk nothing, the risk is much higher for a player, than a billionaire. They are risking having any money, as opposed to how many more millions they can make.

    the great players will always get theirs. But if the union members vote for the good of the majority of players, these three signings don't change reality for 95% of players.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Now we know your name.... On a more serious note, cool.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Because three great players got deals? Not even close.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff! Really enjoyed this a lot.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure the Twins see him as a bat first player only.... Plus, he's a catcher. Take the risk, they are so hard to find. It's a good list.
  21. Mike Sixel
    When do you think we'll see Lewis playing in Minnesota, thanks!

    So baseball subsidizes real estate, then the real estate money goes, um, not back to baseball.... Check out @craigcalcaterra’s Tweet:

    I don't think most people agree that they'd rather watch softball. Otherwise, those people would be making more money.... "management's money" is an interesting phrase. Why is it their money, and not the money of the actual entertainers?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I was trying to be nice....

    This is a very respectful post, in reply to a challenging question. Nicely done. And, there is common ground here for sure.
