    I'm guessing Marx thought the same thing, and the Socialists of the 50s, and the protesters of the 60s and 70s, and the people that thought the internet would free us......the union leaders of the 20s and 30s..... All we have to show for that hard work is 30+% of the nation thinking that rich people should rule them.

    League median catcher as a rookie.....not bad. Not awesome, but not bad. If they would play him at DH and 1B, and let him hit more, when not catching, I'd guess he'd be a 2 WAR player, give or take. That's a valuable player, but not a star. If every rookie they had did that, this team would be the A's.......

    I've certainly posted here and elsewhere that we may be at an impasse, and we may need to divide the union. Just because divorce used to be evil, doesn't mean it is now......

    Where did it say give up on them? It said, be prepared in case they flop again.....NO ONE is saying give up on Buxton, and few are saying it on Sano. But, the FO should have a legit plan for a backup 3B.....they appear set at CF backup for now (though I'd be good if they followed the Brewer's path and added a legit OF to the mix somehow). But no one, not in that article, or most other places, is saying punt on these guys. But, please, at least have a backup 3B available.......

    The A's lost something like five starters to injury this year.... And made the playoffs because of their bullpen. It certainly want their starting pitching. Hendricks was great as an opener, but that might have been September..... Sometimes stuff doesn't work, but this team is not in the playoffs without these relivers.
  6. Mike Sixel
    You want a below average hitter at DH? Mind. Boggling.

    "Even Jeff Flake is backtracking" on maybe not voting for him....I am shocked, shocked I say, that Jeff Fake will vote with Trump. He never does that....

    Be careful, Cthulhu lives in the void.....

    You didn't argue FIP was useless, or that you disagreed with the comparison in terms of production. You commented on the dollar value..... I agree that Gibson was better, but that wasn't your discussion....

    Zero upside. Zero. Just play Wade. Our go get a very good OF, like the Brewers did. He isn't good, makes some money, and has no upside. How does he move this team forward?
  11. Mike Sixel
    heh......they both suffer from surface niceness, frankly. Very similar people and culture.....and suffer being a bad word. I like the surface niceness, I'd like it more if it was deep niceness and more open.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    that hurts.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I was trying to be nice.......I think we agree here...
  14. Mike Sixel
    which I'd assume was better than his odds of being good as a starter.......but sure, he wasn't great. I think opener is probably easier to prepare for, because you know what is coming when......and you kind of know you are getting 20-30 pitches....1-2 innings. But sure, anyone can have a good streak....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Hendriks showing just how good an idea it is to move mediocre starters to the bullpen......good for him. The Rockies and the Brewers......both went out and got legit MLB players this off season, even if we question some of the specific moves, they didn't try to find bargains, they tried to find good to very good players. I'm guessing the Yankees win pretty handily today, but we'll see. The A's lost a huge number of starters to injury, and are still in the playoffs.....

    It makes me sad that POTUS mocks people.......it makes me more sad that millions cheer him on.
  17. Mike Sixel
    wut? Gordon has deserved every promotion so far. Clearly the pundits and you don't agree on this at all....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Unreal. You don't think he can lift and throw and have a hobby? I just don't get this obsession of yours at all.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Uh, this is literally accountability. What exactly are you looking for?
  20. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this choice......my concern going forward is the head injury history....does he need to move to 1B/DH more, and catch less? Maybe the OF occasionally? Has he ever played 3B? I think he's a legit decent/good hitter. If he can catch, DH/1B and sometimes OF, he's got real value. Cave is definitely in the mix for RF/LF/CF, depending what Kepler and Buxton do...... And, imo, Astudillo should be the 2nd catcher, in a similar role to Garver. It's a crime he didn't catch the first time he was up, and that he wasn't up earlier.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Gross. Three years of replacement level performance. I don't see any upside, where is the upside? Are you trying to win, or just get by?
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's almost like that wasn't even the point of the post at all........because it wasn't.
  23. Mike Sixel
    can't. tell. if. serious. He's 180 degrees from what the team needs.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Just trying to help a friend.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Who is Manny Machado's best friend? He needs to be interviewed, at least.....
