To be fair, I wasn't the one who changed the topic to say DaveW, that was all the mods and such (which I think only turns this into more of a sideshow then it should be) we should be discussing the trade, not the merits of the poster. -
The Rockies also just signed Desmond to play 1st base for like 90 million, I wouldn't be concerned with what that FO is or isn't doing...

Carlos Silva is going to be pissed when he realizes you have away his favorite eating utensil. #NachosBellGrande #RIPBYTO

The White Sox were definitely sitting on the Giolito offer, and it paid off for them big time. By all accounts they sat on the Nationals offer for 48+ hours and used it as leverage to get an even bigger haul from Boston.

Google hasn't really stayed mum on the subject though, they already came out and said they are blacklisting fake news sites from google ad words etc, the problem is new ones pop up all the time, so it's really a game of cat and mouse, however they are actually working on the problem, which is good. Facebook though.....different story. Zuckerberg is a terrible CEO and needs to step down.
-
I would also like to point out that I easily could have "hedged" this whole report by saying (end of month) or something of that nature, however like I said, my source said it would be complete within 24 hours, so I have no issue with standing by that, and ultimately if the trade goes through tomorrow or a week from now I will be "wrong" and have no qualms about it. Like I said, this won't discourage me from posting these things in the future (which happen to be every 3-4 years or so)

Plus it's far to early to be sticking forks in anyone....though if they sign Clayton Richard I might have to goto my silverware drawer earlier then expected...
-
To be fair, the Twins aren't the ones in a rush at this stage. The Dodgers need Dozier a lot more than the Twins need to rid them selves of Dozier. Now that the rule 5 draft is done you will see things pick back up.

Does anyone else dabble in the fine art of Jerky Making or Sausage Making? Unfortunately for myself, venison is hard to come by in NYC, so I typically just use Beef for the jerky. For sausages I use a variety of Beef, Pork and Chicken typically. Any tips or recipes anyone wants to share? Latest batch of Jerky finished last night, I used the following for seasoning/marinade and I am very very pleased, its pretty "hot" where you definitely feel the heat, but it doesn't destroy your mouth: 6 pounds of beef 6 oz Soy Sauce 6 oz Worcester Sauce 1 oz sesame oil 2 oz teriyaki few drops of liquid smoke salt pepper onion powder minced garlic red chili flakes cayenne ginger (not to much, it's weird to measure) 1/3rd cup of brown sugar 3 oz Franks red hot a few drops of various other hot sauces I have (4 in total) 12 Habanero Peppers 6 Jalapeno Peppers 4 Anaheim Peppers If you don't like as much heat, just use the same seasoning/marinade and take out the peppers (maybe add in some more garlic/brown sugar and ginger as well) For sausages I have been messing around with hot links lately, I also have become a fan of chicken+apple+feta+dill sausages. Though I should probably start making some healthier ones. Tips/Recipes/Ideas wanted! Thanks!

Just part 1 of me draining the swamp.

20,000 views. That equates to about $50-$100 in revenue for the site, at the very least all owners of this site have enough for a free lunch because of this thread!
-
That's not the case at all IMO. As mentioned previously: Urias not in the trade, Lux not in the trade, Puig not in the trade, if people were expecting any of those three they will be disappointed I guess? When it comes to fruition I will be pleased with the return on Dozier (honestly I think De Leon alone is a haul) but add in Alavrez or the masher and it's even nicer! (Which is what the trade will end up being)
-
While I seriously don't mind "people holding it over me" I would suggest that you guys do it in a somewhat friendly matter, not for my sake, but for other posters who may here something in the future and may be turned away from speaking about it in fear of being "blasted" if they are wrong. I recall a lot of people being jerks to that writer here who mentioned the Ervin Santana trade, which seemed like a very unfair thing to do to him. Like I said though, feel free to flame away on me though if it doesn't happen today.
-
It's not fake news though....what is this, the 4th thread you have brought this up in now? Geez dude, get a life!
-
Meh, I won't mind. And it won't discourage me from posting these types of things in the future when I am told something (which happens to be, what every 4-5 years anyways?)
-
Thanks! It's a harsh crowd sometimes! I mean Espn reported the other night that Sale to the Nationals was all but a done deal, then the Red Sox swooped in and changed it up. I'm sure according to some of the negative nancies here that means ESPN is "full of it" or such.

Well said Lev!Not to mention beat writers often have to carry the water for their respective teams (leaking info on behalf of an org etc) for access later on. Something a normal fan with some buddies in organizations doesn't have to worry about.

How am I full of it on this? I have ran by how I have a few sources with Brock in the past. Nice to know you are Craig are rooting for my failure on this though. Sad!

It worked for Hunter!

Twins select Miguel Diaz from Brewers in Rule 5
DaveW replied to notoriousgod71's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I read they are probably gonna trade him to the Padres. -
Yeah you have made your point abundantly clear. You think I'm full of it, which is fine, but you really don't need to mention in 4+ times now in various threads. I guess you are rooting for me to fail? As our emperor in chief would say: Sad!
-
This thread isn't about me but I will answer: I did nail the Stewart trade and the Gomez for Hardy trade.

Though I prefer Alvarez as well (this org needs high upside pitching big time!) It should be noted that Bellinger has a hit/power tool upside where his bat would literally play anywhere. Whether that is 1B, DH, RF (even one that rates bad defensively) if he reaches his midpoint (much less his peak) they can find a way to get his bat in the lineup (IMO) Not to get to off topic, but I think the plan is for Sano to play 3rd for the next 3-4 years anyways. 1B/DH/RF are more or less fairly open in the near future compared to many teams. Still though, I prefer Alvarez since pitching is always harder to lock down then hitting, especially on this damned team we call the Twins!
