    You clearly trust the lower courts more than I do . And counties, and cities, and state representative. I predict more discriminatory laws, not less, will be coming. Or at least more looking the other way in some parts of the country. This is a bad decision for equality.
  2. Mike Sixel
    It was. I was saying if they keep to type, they are going to need to start making trades to have pitchers
  3. Mike Sixel
    The court can find one way, but be more clear in their belief of what should have happened, or found a different way, and still been clear the commission was wrong.... You know, like in the minority opinion.

    No one said it said that.... But does anyone here think bigots feel less empowered today? Do we think they are carefully parsing this decision?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Gonna need pitchers too. Or be willing to trade highly valued prospects.
  7. Mike Sixel
    No. It means he has a chance to stay at catcher, unlike some others. It's the opposite of what you just typed.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I will take that bet.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Rooker, now these two. They appear to have a type.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why not take the player they like now? They don't pick for some time.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    To what end? They can't save much money at this point.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Number 77 on fangraphs.... Here is their summary.... Big catcher with non-zero chance to stay back there and above-average raw power
  13. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that true of every pick? I'm not sure what your point is.

    Fangraphs... Big catcher with non-zero chance to stay back there and above-average raw power
  15. Mike Sixel
    If they hit on half, it's a great draft.
  16. Mike Sixel
    That's my take also. Given the minor league depth I would have been more willing to roll the dice than this appears to be.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Not sure how you get that from those scores. He'll be on teh fringe of top 100 overall players, most likely, and in the top5 or so for the Twins (on most national lists).
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm not at all surprised it is a college player. Hope he's good!
  19. Mike Sixel
    That field score doesn't jibe with the FG report that teams are worried about his D....I asked on the FG chat for clarification.....

    FG writeup: Larnach is a physical beast with massive exit velos/raw power and surprising contact skills but limited defensive value. Full Report Larnach hits low-lying lasers, with several balls off the bat in excess of 115mph during Oregon State's opening weekend in Arizona. If sneaky plus-plus raw power exists, Larnach has it, as he generates it without taking max-effort hacks. There are teams that don't like Larnach in this range because they think he's a bad defender and/or they are concerned about his 20% strikeout rate, But Larnach's career 15% walk rate should help satiate the stat-driven people in draft rooms and his power numbers could take a jump if pro instruction coaxes more lift out of his swing. He checks every box for the risk-averse, analytics-driven clubs, which means he has a lot of potential homes in the 10-20 range. https://www.fangraphs.com/scoutboard.aspx?draft=2018mlb&type=0&pos=all&team=all

    Number 12 on the FG board...... They really are going to have to trade for / sign pitchers.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea, but not having the money isn't going to make it easier.....is it?
  23. Mike Sixel
    losing a pick is a big deal. I can't find anyone on line that has worked in a FO say anything other than that. you lose a year of development, and you lose potential trade chip. It's not as simple as "they get the pick next year" from what I read.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Something more along the lines of 25MM or more, real money I could use as a huge signing bonus to get Machado or Harper here. But, that's from a fan perspective, not an owner's......they have enough money to spend more if they want, I really only care about the on field product, I'm not the FO or owner.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Gonna be hard to sign anyone with leverage to a large overslot deal, given the Hughes trade.
