    That's a total "Thome is my Homie" shirt in the making. Team Joey: Silhouette of Bautista flipping a bat ("Bats" underneath) next to Silhouette of Mauer slapping a single to left ("Slaps" underneath) Parker would sell roughly 1,000,000 of those.

    If the Twins signed Bautisa, he might finally get over the hump and catch Mauer in career Target Field homeruns (Joey Bats 14 vs Joey Slaps 22) Trademark on Joey Slaps, by the way

    Santana?

    It's interesting with the "almost a hard cap" part of the new CBA, that seems like it helps the Twins in this negotiation. If before you had basically unlimited funds, but now your spending is being restricted to, say $250M, having a way above average guy at $8M, is a big deal because it might allow you to splurge somewhere else.

    We've been collectively worried that the Twins' advantage of having the #1 pick would be muted by changes to the draft process/pools. I haven't heard anything leaked from the new CBA agreement that relates to the Amateur Draft, so does that mean we are good? There's been a decent amount leaked, including a hard cap ($5M) on international signing, so you'd think if there were changes to the draft we would have heard about them also. Fingers still corssed? Or big Exhale?

    And yet St Louis has been in the competitive balance lottery every year.

    Many MN public schools are better than most FL private schools.

    Quite a haul from Wayzata to Cretin

    Let's change some wording: President of the banking division: Chief, we've got this computer system that we implemented in 2009 and it's terrible. Me: OK, let's get rid of it PotBD: It's not that simple. We've got a couple more years left on our lease agreement with IBM and the cost of implementing a new one would be quite substantial Me: What are we talking about? PotBD: 48 Me: Million? PotBD: Yes Me: How bad is it really? Can't we just, you know.... ride it out? PotBD: Well, we could, but it's really customer unfriendly and it's making people leave our bank. Me: Ouch. PotBD: That's not all. Occasionally, it gives our competitors free money. Me: [pulls out checkbook] Who do I make this out to?

    Wow. Died in a boating accident late last night. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/17632541/miami-marlins-ace-jose-fernandez-dies-boating-accidentWow.

    No... we just wish we got to see him pitch 7.1 innings.

    Alex Anthopulos - confirmed candidate. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/09/twins-considering-alex-anthopoulos-for-president-of-baseball-operations.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

    Dick needs to stop mentioning how little Buxton has struck out since his recall. Did the same thing yesterday.
  14. Whammy
    Are we sure?
  15. Whammy
    My issue is with the field staff not getting the most out of Ricky, not the front office getting rid of someone who showed nothing. But really.... it was just me saying "are you serious? we're on a 13 game losing streak and Nolasco pitches a shutout?"

    Granite's "effective" OPS is up to 828. (adding SB minus CS to his slugging percentage)
  20. Whammy
    If they deemed 90 innings to be his limit this year, I wonder what their plan is for next year.... 120? Then, 2018.... 150?

    From: http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160825&content_id=197703456&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb Minnesota's sixth-ranked prospect allowed two hits and struck out nine over seven innings to lead Class A Advanced Fort Myers past Palm Beach, 1-0, on Thursday. After missing all of 2015, Romero will be shut down for the rest of the season after reaching his organization-imposed innings limit

    Check

    If Joe doesn't make the HOF can the Twins retroactively pay him less?
  24. Whammy
    Polanco should have been more vocal about us challenging it.
  25. Whammy
    It should have been the correct alignment. Not sure why it wasn't. I tried to rotate it 90deg, it still looked funky, so I rotated it back, and it looked fine. Strange
