    No. That's good. But I'm mainly talking about what people are saying they think he will be going forward, which is very different than what they were saying just two years ago. That must not have been as clear as I wanted.
  2. Mike Sixel
    You have tomorrow, or the next day, apparently.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Only if it amuses you.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Why is Wiilians on the roster?
  5. Mike Sixel
    It always amazes me when we look at an exact number pick, rather than a range. He's not been good. He's fallen a lot from what people thought. Most if what I read says he's not a good receiver.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Very bad fall!
  7. Mike Sixel
    They barely made the playoffs last year... With ESan and Dozier and Mauer playing very well....I think we'll just disagree on this.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I spent a lot of time looking at him, and reading comments all over the web. No one likes him anymore.
  9. Mike Sixel
    And Murphy was awful in AAA. Terrible. Not sure what people wanted, realistically.
  10. Mike Sixel
    How were they wasted? He was average for a catcher. Who would have been better, in their system? Can't disagree more with this post.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not interested in Swihart, unless he's the second piece, and the first is one hundred times better. They won't play willians or Garver, Swihart is worse. .

    Super. We'll never see Wade now. Come on, prove me wrong....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand either. Reminds me of Kepler, and how the MOY used him that first year....
  14. Mike Sixel
    It's a minor move if he doesn't block Wade.... Another LH? Don't got it at all
  15. Mike Sixel
    Gibson.... He's the one to get you a 50, imo.

    Medical necessity is a term used in the healthcare industry. The kinds of things you are discussing are covered. Things that aren't are cosmetic surgery, unless trauma related, and similar items. There are cases where there are disagreements, but that's in the one percent or less area of care. Also, the government would decide.... Just like in universal care. The edge cases are usually about new, untested, treatments. There are also a super tiny percent where the government, and doctor panels, say it isn't necessary, but some doctors think it is. That will exist in universal care also. Same exact cases.

    It's not even close. Every citizen gets insurance against going bankrupt. It also breaks the requirement you have a job to get insurance. It also gives people money to spend if the just need a little, and maybe gives them enough for full insurance It is so far beyond Obamacare as not to be recognizable.... Look, I'd love real universal healthcare, but it is not coming. This plan could work. In the old days, when there were moderates in both parties, this passes... Now? Maybe. Maybe. But, imo, universal care had no shot right now. This is also a first step toward that. ... You need a transition anyway. Catastrophic includes everything that is medically necessary, mental, dental, accidents, whatever. I thought I said that..... Did I miss a question? Also, mellow out. It's a message board, where I'm typing from my phone. I'm not blowing anyone off, that should be clear after my dozens of posts in this thread. Maybe my expectations of this as a great communication vehicle are too low....

    What if the guys before them are great? I mean, that's basically your argument to some extent.... At this point, they are all major question marks, and pretty much rated the same. It hurts this team a lot how bad, so far, these two high picks have been. If Gordon washes out, that's potentially a very bad streak of number one picks.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Glad they are giving Cave a shot as some here wanted. Now let's hope they give us Garver people, who are really mostly people that think he can maybe be decent someday, what we want too. And wow, Baltimore is bad.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Worked for Doogie Houser....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Increases his value, right? Shows he can get an actual ML player out
  22. Mike Sixel
    Or just leave Matthew in.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure if the Baltimore team is good. Imagine rooting for a team that won't sign IFA, and refuses to trade players to rebuild....
  24. Mike Sixel
    They won't get universal medical any time soon. Catastrophic is a huge deductible, like fifty thousand. The goal is to avoid bankruptcy. Probably a multi year rolling number. You also want to make all healthcare non profit? That's just not going to happen in one step. My plan is a step. Zero chance your plan passes.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Yes, the VAST majority come out ahead (and I got laid off in November, but haven't forgotten everything yet!). My original plan had more money going into the account, and the ability to use it for education or health care, but I don't trust people not to fall for private schools, and have no HC money again.....maybe it should be for school past age 18, college, technical, other or HC costs. Really, if we covered all newborn costs to age 5, and catastrophic, and gave people money every year, most people would have A LOT of money in that account (possible unintended consequence that college or vo tech is more expensive, but it's hard to see how our current path is any better).
