  1. Trick question. You're asking me to think.
  2. "Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the concerts?"
  3. Recycling the old Woodstock joke, I question the beer-drinking credentials of anyone claiming to remember yesterday.
  4. My bad. I took the bait. Please keep this about the topic
  5. If you're attempting to mind-read the man, that's not a good idea. If you're claiming any GM aims for mediocrity, that's not a good idea either. [Consider this part to be a moderator mini-note.] If you're going by his own words, he has stated that five+ year contracts to pitchers are a problem. One can infer that he means this in contrast to batters. If you're going by past history, we're only a few years into the Target Field revenue era and Ryan's portion of it, and the team is only now becoming competitive again.
  6. Date/timestamp noted. You are made of stronger stuff than I am. Either that or you live three time zones west of me. Or both.
  7. Sabermetrics? I guess it's possible to understand something without knowing for sure what the name for it is.
  8. [geek]How does this move affect Mondesi's service time?[/geek]
  9. Perhaps that's why I put a smiley face icon next to that part of my reply, I can't remember for sure.* The geniuses at MLB have thought of everything. *
  10. Sure. It's called releasing a player. More seriously, Nolasco has the right to refuse a minor league assignment. I think that right accrues after 5 years in the majors. So sure, you can remove him from the 40 man, and perhaps hope that someone takes him off your balance-sheet by claiming him on the waivers that were necessary to do that, but then you have to put him right back on and add him to the active roster again. Unless you've actually released him, but then you still owe him his dough.
  11. Ray Miller must be feeling pretty dumb right about now.
  12. I was surprised to see this news, maybe I shouldn't have been. It was a good turnaround.
  13. I said in a thread elsewhere, Royals in 7. So here I'll go with a Mets sweep.
  14. A simple Like would have sufficed, sir.
  15. Sorry, but posts at this site accusing another poster of being a bigot just beg to be removed. I should add, discussion of TD policy and/or moderator actions belongs more properly in the About MinnCentric forum area, rather than further disrupt topical discussions. / you also essentially Godwin-ed yourself in the same post. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law
  16. The Twins HoF or the other one somewhere in upstate NY?
  17. Moderator's note: Nick's passing comment about this has led to a re-opening of a discussion that has been hashed and re-hashed here many times over. Please keep your posts civil, and in particular avoid taking it upon yourself to correct the behavior of others. Discussing Torii is fair game (if done with the usual respect expected here), while for a variety of reasons discussing other people just isn't. Posts that amount to bickering will be removed.
  18. If Big Pelf had nine lives staying out of the Twins bullpen, you can bet Alex Meyer will get chance after chance too. If not from the Twins then from a succession of other organizations.
  19. Yeah, we are in this case suffering either from too much information or too little.
  20. You got a link for that? / ducking
  21. Back in our newlywed days my wife and I had 3 theories about raising kids. Now that we have raised 3 kids, we have 0 theories.
  22. The same reasons he has high trade value are why I would not easily trade him. Pitching is just too scarce a commodity. We are not so far removed from the days of having to bring up AAA suspects to fill out a rotation.
