    Baseball discussion! Yes! *reads thread*
  2. TheLeviathan
    I see what you're saying about Colon or Madbum, but the truth is the vast majority of pitcher ABs are ugly, useless, or predictable. IMO that doesn't help the game or the aesthetics of it.
  3. TheLeviathan
    Universal DH is the headliner for a reason: it is a wonderful step to improve the quality of baseball viewing. Long overdue
  4. TheLeviathan
    I'm with you, but I imagine the fan base isn't going to agree with us in general.
  5. TheLeviathan
    At 12 this would be an ideal place to pick a CB or trade down. The two things Vikings fans least want to hear, lol.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Um..... it literally says in the part I quoted "thousands". So......no, I changed nothing. Players you cite as staying with their team and foregoing free agency are doing so because they don't want to risk free agency not being as lucrative as the offer on the table. It's still about dollars and years there's just a risk analysis going on.

    I missed the part where you acknowledged you were wrong about the 2020 negotiations.
  8. TheLeviathan
    This graph is lacking a fourth line: fan apathy. It might actually give that corporate profiteering line a run for it's money. I've always been willing to criticize the union (I have no love lost for unions) but this one is mostly on the owners. The game is broken by them both and I'm just so over it. Go Wild.

    It would seem to me that if you can provide hundreds or thousands of examples of this, that so far in this discussion you are still several hundreds or thousands short of that. Let me suggest that there may be a reason for that you're ignoring on the basis of your bias. Allow me to quote Dave St. Peter: "It's dollars and years"
  10. TheLeviathan
    Your argument is the equivalent of stating that oceans are deathtraps full of man eating sharks just waiting for some human sucker to venture in on the basis of 1 shark bite a year. Exceptions are called exceptions for a reason. They aren't how things normally operate. Money talks in FA. The Twins themselves have acknowledged this in the past. Also, fun fact, EVERY market plays this silly game to some degree or another. It might be weather, ownership, media, facilities.....they pick something to make the "oh...woe is us....nobody likes us" as this weird, unnecessary explanation. The answer is simple: We didn't pay enough.
  11. TheLeviathan
    The thread was over right here. You want someone to ink a contract? Pay them to ink it. It's really that simple.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Until Lovie Smith pulls a WWE move and comes out of nowhere with a chair!
  13. TheLeviathan
    I know it's all they can do....but damn what a riveting offseason. We flew into February at break-neck speed! Here comes spring training! Excuse me, I think the Wild and Timberwolves and Lynx and the NFL draft and NFL Monday in June are on....
  14. TheLeviathan
    That's going to be hard for the NFL to do considering they dismissed it as frivolous within 15 seconds of it going public.
  15. TheLeviathan
    How is it that everyone we consider for our coaching job has a connection with Cousins? Makes it really hard to predict the path forward. If it is O'Connell...dude was his OC in 2014. I hope this signals a huge remake of the roster, but damn I hate hiring guys that have no play calling history.
  16. TheLeviathan
    I'm more than a bit stunned by that.
  17. TheLeviathan
    For sure, your examples are highlighting this for me too. I love Justin Jefferson but if I thought this team was a lost cause I'd trade him for 4 and 35 in a heartbeat along with a total teardown. But that's not how I feel....I feel like we're some young pass rushers (a good draft for that), some solid corners, and a shift in defensive playcalling from making this team pretty interesting. The offense is a guard/center from being a really, really dynamic unit. And the defense has talent, it just needs fresh eyes and, frankly, a defensive playcaller with more ability to develop young guys. (Looking at you Mr. Fangio)
  18. TheLeviathan
    I also think Harbaugh is coming with the idea of Cousins as his QB. But Cousins is going to have to work with the team to bring his cap number down. This offense has all the pieces but he has to recognize the defense needs serious investment. BTW, Harbaugh won with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick. We have to stop thinking like the robots Mike Zimmer turned us into....good coaches will coach their players, not insist on getting stuck in boxes of their own making.
  19. TheLeviathan
    I would not. A sure thing is worth keeping. Now, deal him for the 1st overall and then trade back to load up? Sure, I might consider that. This is a class deep in pass rushers.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Because this league doesn't deserve your money. Or anyone's. At this point I might pirate games and not watch them out of spite.
  21. TheLeviathan
    It's clear KAM wanted Harbaugh. If this is his guy, then I'm good with that. Captain Comeback, if nothing else, is one entertaining dude. Bring on Fangio for the defense and let's have some fun!
  22. TheLeviathan
    That's fair. You're right that rookie QBs aren't taking teams to Super Bowls....but a helluva lot of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year guys do! My personal opinion is that this team could do a semi-rebuild and be a serious contender next year.
  23. TheLeviathan
    DeMeco Ryans (who I liked a lot as a candidate) bowing out tells me Harbaugh is inevitable. I'm with Dan, I think Trent Baalke was the real source of the problems in SF. Harbaugh is a weird, intense dude....but he was also innovative as hell and a very modern coach. He squeezed every ounce of talent out of those SF teams.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Would you be opposed to starting, just as an example, Kenny Pickett?
