    Football it is. Did the state of free agency have an influence? I think so.

    Berrios began 2017 in AAA for zero good reason.... Still can't figure that out at all.

    This. I'd like him in the two inning role after Odo and Pineda or whomever finishes their five or six innings. Let's see if he has that third pitch or not. My thinking has evolved, as starters go less innings... A great multi inning RP has great value.

    People are actually annoyed it is now the injured list? Wow
  5. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to signing four bad players? Because that's what they'd do instead.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    That would not disappoint me.

    Truth. I had forgotten the phenomena of your clothes getting cold, and then you moving and your body bring colder as your clothes touch you. Or, more likely, blocked the memory. Driving on ice brought back memories! And reminded me why I own a four wheel drive now, for the mountains.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Absolutely.
  9. Mike Sixel
    You spelled Harper wrong.
  10. Mike Sixel
    One of my favorite activities. Maybe I should head over there

    Leftovers go to minor league players, not owners.

    I'm told many stores have empty shelves in Portland. Supposed to be three different days of snow in the next five days or so. Potentially the most in a decade.

    And, we moved because I hated, and complained about, the cold.
  14. Mike Sixel
    The Facebook post was sarcasm, aimed at all the people that have said that to me over the years. It's so hard to tell that online.
  15. Mike Sixel
    There's a whole thread on it....or two if you look at other transactions in the MOB forum

    What risk? Every sports team ever sells for massive profit. The revenue is there. It either goes to labor or billionaires.

    MadKyleDisease: Are the Twins the biggest offenders of this slow offseason? A (relative) ton of money to spend. The favorites in their division doing nothing to get better and possible getting worse. And only reaching into the bargain bin instead of making a push. 10:16 Jeff Sullivan: I think to this point the Dodgers are considered the biggest offenders 10:16 Jeff Sullivan: But looking at the Twins, they’re projected for a $100-million payroll, down from last year’s $129 million 10:18 Jeff Sullivan: It’s possible, I suppose, guys like Keuchel and Kimbrel just don’t want to play there, or something. But it seems like the Twins should be involved on at least one of them, if not both
  18. Mike Sixel
    why? Because owners should keep the money?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. This site has gotten overly serious lately..... Not that my posts are funny.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Great one!
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't think he has moves, so no.
  22. Mike Sixel
    They need the cap space. Add Remmers' money, and they can sign a player or two without also having to cut Rudolph. Griffen was not the same when he returned. I'm surprised this isn't a restructure.
  23. Mike Sixel
    As one writer said on Twitter: Would I deal Sixto to move from 29th best catching to best catching for two years? Yes. Now go sign Harper or Machado.......
  24. Mike Sixel
    KLAW said on his periscope today that he thinks Lewis will be more than All Star (assuming I heard it correctly, it went fast and I'm not going to listen again.....) Fernando Romero as a starter.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Unfortunately, yes, average players should make more money than those people. Supply and demand and all.....It doesn't make it moral, but it is the reality of the world we live in. I don't recall anyone mentioning 300M per year. I am curious what risk they are taking. Has any team ever sold for less than an ROI that an owner could get in teh stock market? I doubt it very much, and if so, it would be very rare. There is virtually no risk in owning a MBL, NFL, or NBA team (not sure about NHL). If it weren't for the uncapitalistic laws that Congress has passed, allowing MLB to act as a monopoly, and the terrible CBA, the players would make even more....
