  1. The Josh Willingham / Scott Diamond / Sam Deduno teams of more than a decade ago would give these guys a run for the honor, and then there's the Total System Failure platinum edition that followed in 2016.
  2. Yeah, don't count your chicken(dinner)s before they Hatch.
  3. If MLB roster rules worked differently than they do, maybe I'd agree with you.
  4. Yay team.
  5. The reason I would not put Larnach on this list is I seriously doubt he has any trade value whatsoever. We could trade him for someone similarly lacking in trade value, whether that be a low-ranked prospect/suspect or a major leaguer with similar arbitration salary issues, and that's about it. He's not someone to base off-season planning around, at all.
  6. "You probably wouldn't react well to knowing the real situation if you knew it." I think that's how that goes.
  7. Depressing that this was the high-water mark for what felt like should have been something more.
  8. If you prefer old school for what sets the good batters apart then let's discuss Triple Crown numbers. BA/HR/RBI. Nothing new under the sun. We're expressing the ideas a little differently nowadays, is all.
  9. Well, Ryan and Lopez were acquired via trade in the first place. Unless you believe recently departed Thad Levine was the keeper of that secret sauce.
  10. That would at least intrigue me into another road trip. 😀
  11. Trading the high salaries makes sense. The Pohlads need to right-size their pockets.
  12. What did you say that was nice about the 7-0 lead up to that point?
  13. 72 and 58 could be the difference between fans with no paper bags on heads, and fewer fans, some with paper bags on heads. No one's striving for mediocrity. That's a strawman argument. Now, incompetence, perhaps that is a topic that's on the table. 😀
  14. Ah, you caught my bit of Swiftian satire. .... aaaand, there it is.
  15. I'm waiting for the meltdown before commenting on this game.
  16. You're touching on the reason it was ill-advised to sign a pitcher named Genesis. You remember the first words in the Bible: "In the big inning..."
  17. I think the problem is gambling on human competition (this includes horse racing and I'm sure others). If it's a test of skill, such as poker, or mere chance, such as roulette, the opportunity for corruption of the human spirit is much less.
  18. What budding All-Stars do you expect them to be replaced with?
