    That's what the Delete function (within the Edit function) is for.

    Very satisfying to have a catcher with teh l33t skillz.

    Oh, it's romantic. Food Truck Friday in Reno Nevada - link - we're going to head down the hill and partake. (It was her night to cook... don't tell her I made that connection.)

    Yeah, at this point Ryan has some very intriguing pieces for the coming several years; but it's not going to be child's play to put all these pieces together. No pushbutton managing.

    Not goin' there my brother. Not goin' there. In other news, I have just been informed by my wife that we have a date tonight. Will be leaving in a few minutes...

    Yes, now please tell us about the lack of clutchness of some other Twins players, my brother. Do your powers extend to explaining how pitchers are getting by on smoke and mirrors and can't last another inning?
  7. ashbury
    I expect a nice first inning, with at most a harmless 2-out baserunner. / unwilling to predict any farther into the future than that
  8. ashbury
    Pushed across the first-inning run. Nice.
  9. ashbury
    Underway! Good start with a base hit, Dozierzie! (On 0-2, ha. Paging Chief, paging Chief.)

    > Never say never but, if history has any indication, the likelihood of him pitching effectively in April appears low. Now, got any stock tips, as the market appears to be nearing a top?

    Boy, the players get younger every year, don't they? You sure those are Boyd and Duffey, and not a couple of middle-schoolers?

    I bet it's in invisible ink, in a scrawl readable only by himself, and even if you could see it, and read it, it would look like: Meyer - 1z%885## 2o 3!!:jump:xyz 4:banghead: 5:jump:zyx

    Please keep posting these. These are great reads.

    Since the Twins pick 4th, and it's nearly certain that the first three players picked are in this list, I think we kind of need an ordering here.
  16. ashbury
    I'd like to see them package their #4 pick with a backup quarterback and trade up to #2. Failing that, I'm honestly OK with whatever present the Twins scouts put under the Christmas (in June) tree for me. This is just not something I feel like I have any informed opinion about, however much I read.

    You probably have heard the story of the guy who traded a paper clip for a house. Link. The Twins kind of traded a house, Santana Manor, for a paper clip named Hoey.

    Luck is when random variation works against you. Intuitive skill is when it works in your favor. / or, bearing down, or gettin' after it

    I still choose to believe that his cracked rib from "horseplay" this offseason could turn out to be his Come To Jesus moment, and will be what allows him to tap his potential. I'd like to keep him in his current role and let him establish some longer-term success this season, to make sure this change wasn't just momentary. But eventually I could see letting him compete for a rotation role. More options for the team are always better than fewer.

    Funny how much she reminds me of your sister.
  22. ashbury
    I don't know, but since it's written in the CBA or whatever there must be some reason a player might choose to invoke it. My understanding is he still has an option. So exposing him to other teams isn't even necessary. It's just a question of him seeing it as being in his own interest, as you say. It's possible he'd see it differently. If he's concerned about his next contract, he may be optimistic and believe he's better served to put up some good numbers in the majors than at AAA.
  23. ashbury
    You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

    I grew up hearing the phrase "I nickeled him down" meaning bargained hard. Never thought anything about it, just a casual phrase, until one time a Jewish friend looked at me funny. Oh....

    Gyp. Bit of an offensive term to gypsies.
