    I think the tri-colored helmet completely brings together and elevates the white uniform, which I previously thought was the weakest of the new uniforms, with the big red "TWINS" seeming sort of floaty and too big. Would love to see a similar cap as the main cap. I know a lot of people are down on the M but I think the raised M on the matte helmet also looks good, and makes the M look a lot better than it does on the caps.

    IMO if you want to trade Kepler and you want a solid reliever, sign a free agent like Fulmer who costs less than Kepler, and trade Kepler for a prospect. Same result but you get a prospect.

    Oh my gosh, I hadn't even thought about how much fun Saints baseball is going to be this year.

    I don't know much about his health concerns a starter, but my worry as a totally ignorant layman is that under a starter's workload, he'd blow out his elbow and never be the same again. I'm gonna trust the Twins' coaching staff over my own gut as to how many golden eggs we can get without killing the goose.

    Sorry but this ship has sailed

    Ober is good and I like him, if he's your first line of depth at AAA that says good things about your depth, not bad things about Ober. I'm pretty high on Ober, and I think he may well out-pitch someone in the opening-day rotation this year, but he's less proven than the guys in the opening-day rotation, and you can't stash Maeda, Gray, Mahle, or Lopez in St Paul. I'd rather have six starters I trust than five, and one of them's gotta wait his turn, and it has to be either Ober or Ryan, and while I like Ober a lot, Ryan pretty obviously has the edge. (unless they try a six-man rotation again)

    IMO Royce Lewis's value is theoretical until we see how he recovers from his 2nd ACL surgery. Setting aside the possibility of trading him for veteran talent completely, I'd be a fool not to trade Royce Lewis for a clone of Royce Lewis who has not had two ACL surgeries. Or, you know, a functionally identical player -- let's say another one who seems to have great intangibles.

    I want to see a bullpen upgrade before the offseason is over, but I'd rather sign Fulmer or similar, and trade Kepler for prospects than directly trade him for a reliever.
  9. Unwinder
    Checking out some Marlins fan reactions, and they're just as mad as we are, so maybe it was a good trade. It looks like Lopez is also a charismatic fan-favorite.

    Is there a physical? Could Arraez still fail a physical? Fingers crossed...

    He can want to be here while also preferring to go somewhere else for more money. I've been happy at jobs I've had despite them not being my dream job, and despite being willing to drop them for something that pays more.

    Ober will get starts. We started with a 6-man rotation last year and still ended up starting Chi Chi Gonzalez by the middle of the season. Would rather sign someone like Fulmer for just money than lose starting depth for Bednar.

    NEXT STOP: WACHA!!!!!!!

    I go to the mall and I go to the Dior store and I want something, I get it. I make an offer, it turns out to be too expensive, so I wait for two other people to buy it and return it because there's a hole in it, then it gets marked down and I buy it.

    When the offseason started, I thought there was a good chance that the Twins would lock Correa down, but I never dreamed that it would somehow be a bigger stunner than last offseason's Correa signing.

    you're going to talk me out of baseball before you talk me into Bauer with this line of thought.
  17. Unwinder
    These are all before my time, I'm young and haven't been following baseball for very long. EDIT: And if you think that a good response to "I don't want to take my kid to see a guy who's allegedly a scumbag" is "actually baseball is full of scumbags" then... well played I guess?
  18. Unwinder
    Hate to be the hysterical "think of the children" person here, but another factor in this is that I don't want to take my little girl to ballgames and have to explain why Bauer is controversial. This game is still for kids, even if there aren't so many kids watching it these days.
  19. Unwinder
    I'm not excited about this because I really want the Twins to shell out for Correa, I'm excited about this because I really want something to happen.

    Would also be intellectually interested in arguing about the conversion rate from Minneasota team sports championships to Olympic gold medals for Minnesotan athletes, but I probably wouldn't spring for any,
  21. Unwinder
    Selfishly I'd say two for the Twins, three for the Wolves (I prefer baseball but feel like the Wolves have more to prove). But since we're still in the midst of the holiday season, and I know a lot of people like football, and it would make a lot of Minnesotans happy, I'm gonna say give one to the Twins, one to the Vikings, one to the Wild, one to the Wolves, and one to the Loons (the Lynx don't need my help), but they all have to be in the same year, which will go down as the greatest year in sports history for any one market.

    I want the Pohlads to spend more, and there are clearly better owners than the Pohlads out there, but I think that if they sold the team we'd be just as likely to get worse owners as better owners. I'm completely ambivalent toward the idea of selling (unless it also meant relocating, in which case I would hate it).
  23. Unwinder
    I think the game only changes if Cohen's spending results in a salary cap. Otherwise, prices on free agents just go up, more owners have to bite the bullet and spend on them, and the eventual result is that every team ends up with the same free agents they would've signed anyway, but at three times the salary,

    I am a lapsed D&D player, and I think it's no coincidence that me getting really into baseball happened around the same time that family obligations started making it impossible for me to keep a regular D&D campaign going. I have a lot of friends who are sports fans, and I was hoping that getting into baseball would give me something to talk to them about, but it turns out that the ones who like baseball are all nerds who I already had plenty of common interests with.
  25. Unwinder
    I would rather watch a losing Twins team. This is the only thing I can think of that would actually keep me away from Target Field.
