    Fake news.

    Gotta be Carlson for the first pick in the second round, right?
  3. PseudoSABR
    Rooker, and er, Carlson.

    It's clear the Twins were not in love with any of the options at the top. So picking a player they like just as much with less risk (as non-pitcher), and saving money to get two more guys they want at 35 and 37 makes a lot of sense to me. As the margins between slots gets tighter and tighter, whatever money the Twins were able to save will have greater leverage as the draft moves into even later rounds. I'm excited to see what they get at 35 and 37, but the Twins set themselves up to get high upside players throughout the draft. There's a clear logic, that can work to the Twins benefit. Of course the actual players will determine the success of the draft, but the blueprint itself has no logical flaws. It mitigates the risk of drafting a pitcher number one while giving more flexibility and leverage throughout the rest of the draft.

    Isn't the lesson that you hold onto assets (even depreciated ones), so that you can retain future assets? Whether the a certain team wins or loses a trade isn't the point so much as they didn't choose to wait until their given asset was worth nothing.

    Let's give Hicks some more at bats before he becomes the standard of bad trades. He was really awful last year.

    I like acquiring a non-40-man pitcher with experience. It gives the Twins flexibility and a low-end arm to potentially fill out the bullpen should it come to that without the use of a roster space.

    Why was Romero pulled in the 4th? Injury? Or ineffectiveness that would have lead to further damage? I mean at three runs, Romero hadn't yet precluded the 'quality start'.

    Finally finished this show. I really dug it. It's a dark comedy/drama about a spy who is in way over his head and sings factual folk songs to cope. Not for everyone, but it was for me.

    Just watched the first episode of Patriot on Amazon. Unique; oddly deep and comical. Here's wondering if the show can keep it up.

    I really love the Expanse. But its not for everyone. It's pacing can be somewhat slow and even confusing (there are several plot lines that take some time coalesce), but it is very much space opera in the vein of Battlestar (good writing, good acting, ambitious plot, excellent production). So far, I've actually like the second season more than the first (the plot is moving forward at a much better pace); but I still find myself having to rewind because I missed some essential piece of dialogue.

    Cheers, Brock. At first, I was bit jaded by the demise of BYTO, but I'm thankful for the move to Twins Daily. This community has provides some of those most thoughtful discourse on the interwebs, at least in the Sports Bar. I count many of the posters, mods, and owners of this site as friends, and appreciate everyone's ongoing contribution, thoughtfulness, and respect.

    Well, I wasn't blindsided. I recommend it, you don't. /shrug

    One's taste for such a show might be a matter of one's capacity and willingness to suspend disbelief. For our part, we found that last episode oddly moving, and my need for logical consistency waned as I became emotionally invested in the characters. (That said, there's less masterful production in The OA than in Strangers Things, but that's a mighty high standard).
  15. PseudoSABR
    Sci-Fi fans (even fans of Stranger Things) should out Netflix's The OA. Was surprised by how much we liked it; binged the whole season in two days.

    Who is they? I think you're conflating two regimes, which I see a lot of in this thread, to somehow bolster that incompetence angle in not trading Dozier.
  17. PseudoSABR
    Perkins has no value. Esan may have value, but not much. Dozier's market is depleted. Are you suggesting they trade these pieces at any cost? And are you also suggesting such trades wouldn't affect their future dealings?
  18. PseudoSABR
    Has any one denied our top priority is starting pitching? That said, the most foolish thing to do would be deal your most valuable asset in a depleted market just fill a need. Bad teams can't waste valuable assets.
  19. PseudoSABR
    You realize that the man who presided over that track record is the one who dealt JDL, right? So I'm not sure why we should grant any more credence to what the TB GM thinks of the trade he just made.
  20. PseudoSABR
    You really think the Twins went to the press before going directly to the Dodgers? I don't. I also seriously doubt that a new regime would try to game other clubs through the media; I think that's more projection than interpretation of the facts we actually know.
  21. PseudoSABR
    The Twins have reason to leak trade inquiries (in spite of their seriousness). And the Cards have reasons to publicly deny their pursuit (in spite of their seriousness).
  22. PseudoSABR
    Area of strength.
  23. PseudoSABR
    They also forfeit the 11th pick in the draft.
