    Yeah when the 2nd "best" thing they did was not let a 39 year old Volgesong "win" a rotation spot out of ST.....you know that the Off season was an objective failure.

    Words are nice, actions are better. I will believe it when I see it (aka a roster that actually can win 75 games)

    The Suzuki thing was the only thing he was "wrong" on, but I tend to agree that Castro isn't really an upgrade overall over Suzuki and they did in fact pay him too much and for too long. As much as we love to tout the OF it should be noted that none of them had even a 100 ops+ last year. The truth hurts sometimes, this team is a disaster more than likely.

    Legalized sports gambing across the country would be a MASSIVE growth industry.

    The casinos will buy up the majority of the corporate ticketing. Putting a high roller in a suite is just one more perk for them.

    Yeah vegas has 2 million folks in the area, and 40 million visitors a year. Also LA and Oakland still have a TON of diehard Raider fans, a round trip flight from La or Oakland is about $100 (and a quick drive from LA anyways) Those are going to be some rowdy Saturday nights, Vegas is a perfect location for an NFL team.

    If he is willing to pitch in the minors to start the season.

    Kurt, your plan mentioned earlier is basically the same thing I have now (except the first $500 isn't paid) and the preventive measures it includes are weak. Deductible is 10k so I basically pay anything up to that amount. My monthly premium is $430 Which seems outreagous for such ****ty coverage. At the end of the day though, I can afford it, even if I have a major issue and have to pay $10k, I feel a lot worse for people that can't afford the $430 a month or 10k more in a year. **** like that for healthy under 35 year olds needs to change. I end up going to the doctor maybe once every 18 months anyways.

    Looking at the likely opening day 25 man roster and the first couple call ups it's not a stretch to say that the Twins have two dozen more question marks than Sano. Or pretty damn close to two dozen

    a noble thought, but too many powerful people make too much money of those things (including a high amount of our politicians) Radical reform like this wont happen in a country that is so driven by capitalism. I think realistic options need to be discussed in the meantime. Sanders heart is in the right place, but his proposed bill is only going to further the divide.
  11. DaveW
    Wowzers! It's just spring training, it literally doesn't matter unless you are a non roster invite thing to make the roster or if you are battling for a roster spot.

    IMO Reform needs to come to the insurance companies and pharma companies before we can see a ton of change for the better in terms of pricing and fairness and a massive improvement overall. Too many politicians on BOTH sides in the pockets of big pharma and insurance.

    Trump blaming this loss on the Dems is so delicious. Can't wait until his tax reform bill and "build the wallllllll" 5 billion dollar ask fails as well.
  14. DaveW
    Yeah, if all reach their peak it's a league average rotation IMO. If that happens, awesome, because we should definitely be flipping Hughes, Ervin and Santiago by the deadline for future help.
  15. DaveW
    Yes

    Was about a half mile away from Westminster in a cab heading to that bridge today when the attacks went down pure chaos all around, I hate to say it but one of my biggest worries afterwards was "****, Trump is going to use this to further fuel his racism and nationalism"
  17. DaveW
    The one upside about pissing away the #1 seed, is that the Wild might be able to rest up a bit more heading into the playoffs then if they were still "battling" for it. Would be nice to get a win against a good Sharks team tonight..
  18. DaveW
    Mejia should get the spot IMO. Berrios should get a few starts in AAA and get called up when one of Santiago, Hughes, Gibson inevtibaly pitches themselves out of the rotation due to injury (Hughes) or ineffectiveness (Santiago/Gibson)
  19. DaveW
    Romero still has a looonnnng ways to go before I feel confident in penciling him into any future rotation. He hasn't even pitched 180 innings TOTAL since he joined the system 5 years ago. This is why it really sucks to lose ANY potential front end SP types like Jay, we went from 3 or 4 guys that had front end potential to just 2 or 3 now. Not. Good.
  20. DaveW
    We for some reason decided to give up Alex Meyer for Santiago (and still sent over a boatload of money) Having Alex Meyer still in the system would have added SP depth, and actually would have been SP depth that could help this team for more than just one year of overpaying a guy like Santiago.
  21. DaveW
    The thing that concerns me the most is the Twins have a terrible MLB team (last place 5 of last 6 years) and a pretty "meh" farm system. The last time we saw ineptitude across the board like this it took damn near a full decade for the Twins to become contenders again. So yes, losing Jay, one of the very very very very very very very few guys who appeared to be something more than a back end rotation guy in this entire org (including MLB team) is concerning to me.

    Bart: Otto-Man? You're living in a dumpster? Otto: Ho, man, I wish. Dumpster-brand trash bins are top-of-the-line. This is just a Trash-Co waste disposal unit.

    If the name of the game was signing "replacement level high character" guys, the Twins would be a dynasty.
  24. DaveW
    Booker/DeBlasio is my ideal ticket ATM
  25. DaveW
    I hate getting my hopes up for Minnesota sports. What a disaster these last few weeks have been. Maybe shouldn't have traded for Hanzel and White...team was clicking prior. I still think Duby is hurt
