  1. He's probably just a bad baseball player as all metrics have shown us once you take out a luck driven 2014.
  2. Occam's razor would suggest that the worst team in baseball over the last 6 years continues to make poor moves when it comes to personnel.
  3. Santana had a babip over .400 in 2014. Hoping for that again is less likely then Mauer hitting 30 HR again.
  4. Considering Santana has been one of the worst players in baseball two straight years, I would say "likely"
  5. Not to go off topic, but recently in Florida I met up with my source during ST at the Twins vs USA game (also was sitting a few seats from Radcliff, guy is showing his age a bit), got some more insight on how things fell apart and a lot more insight behind the scenes. If I ever create a twitter account again I will reveal some of that.
  6. Yeah, Dems want Trump out asap. The fallout with the GOP will be massive. Ford >>>Pence
  7. Unless the front office holds out for a better (unrealistic) better deal on the MRI
  8. Edit: can a mod please put this video formatted correctly?
  9. 4 WAR Don't care how he gets there, but I think it's a break out year for him and he becomes a 4 WAR player this year before he eventually (hopefully) turns into a 5.5-7 WAR player
  10. lol! It wasn't the best month, but still is sitting a few bucks from $1100, also I bought some more when it dipped below $975 Still way up on this "investment" and it always seems to bounce back quickly after a rough day or week. (Not scientific at all I know! But hey, gotta roll with what has been working!) WWE has been doing decent for me lately, Nvidia has stabilized again a bit and somehow I am up 19% on WWE since I bought it, I think WWE is still on the way up, I think it can hit $30 within the next 12 months.
  11. Analytical or not, keeping Santana, a 6th INf and a 5th OF who can't play defense or hit well....at all, over Park is absolute madness.
  12. “When you are given immunity, that means you have probably committed a crime.” — Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, in an interview with NBC News on September 25, 2016.
  13. Personally, I am jealous of the Royals early season schedule.
  14. Yes potentially huge. That with all the other info being reported the last couple days (i.e Rubio was a target of the Russians and other candidates in the GOP!!!1!) there is NO way that Trump wasn't involved. None, I'm convinced. I just hope he takes everyone down with him.
  15. I mean Gorsuch is pretty right leaning, but he's not a crazy judge. He is VERY well respected, and thus, I agree, the Dems should sort of let this one go and focus on the more dangerous stuff. It's not like he is Clarence Thomas part 2, and hell he even seems more reasonable then the man he is replacing, does it kind of suck? Sure, could it be worse...oh yeah! Yes, it's BS that the GOP did this to Obama, but at some point the Dems need to be the ones who act like adults in the room. Lose the battle, win the war etc. The Nuclear option would be an unmitigated disaster and we could get some pretty radical choices for the bench in the future (i.e a Thiel or worse) also that swings both ways as well. It's sad how political SCOTUS nominations are, like this is seriously the ONE area where both sides should come together and pick the overall best, most well respected and honorable choice.
  16. Ah ok, good to know. Desperate times, etc etc Go Wild!
  17. Duffey is that viable long man. If Hughes has a meltdown or two early on, just DL him and bring up Berrios. It's pretty silly in general to have TWO long man because of concerns with your starters. That is the larger issue at play here IMO, both the rotation and bullpen are disasters.
  18. I will watch all day games, because hey, it's something awesome to have on during a work day. I will prob catch 6-8 games as usual at Target field on various work trips and vacation, and prob a few others around the country as well as schedules align. Evening games though? Personally I hope the Wild are taking up evenings well into June and if the Twins fall out of it early it won't be much more than background noise unfortunately. Will be interesting to see how poor attendance is after opening day, I could see games 2-3-4 averaging under 15k.
  19. If Haley is that valuable to this team, why not just figure out a trade for him. I highly doubt Boston is going to be asking for anything close to unreasonable. I'd much rather trade away a "meh" prospect, get Haley in the minors and use that 25th roster spot for either a guy like Park or something. I don't get this whole idea of needing two mop up guys anyways. The whole point of a mop up guy is it's more than likely he will be involved in a game where the Twins are getting their butts kicked anyways. Does it really matter if Haley or Duffey give up a few more runs over 3-4 innings when its already 6-1?
  20. I think Bud is doing their "team can" concept that they did with the NFL teams this year. I think it's genius.
  21. Good Rocketpig, that was a much needed win. Feels good to see them play good again, hopefully this builds some momentum the rest of the season. I think this is the end of the Kuemper era in Minnesota, Stalock looked solid. Erikkson Ek is an exciting and dynamic player to watch. Is he allowed to be on our playoff roster? Even if he loses a year of his ELC I think he NEEDS to be added, as the Wild really need to make a run this year.
  22. Hope that is the case. Also we have a clause that if one of us dies prior to the completion of the bet, the next of kin has to fulfill the obligations. I'd like to at least be up a few bucks when I start circling the proverbial drain, or when itstimetotakeit takes his revenge.
