    There is no greater waste of calories than hashing out complicated lineups IMO. Pick a stat that correlates with runs- OBP or Slg or OPS. Split by handedness of the SP. Sort in descending order. Boom, lineup.

    If I had $15k lying around I'd split 50/50 into TSLA and BRK/B. High risk / reward hedged with a value stock. I would not get into the currency game, esp. for a retirement portfolio. Currencies are non-yielding assets.

    Don't the top players/agents have a pretty good idea of where they're going to sign before the draft starts based on conversations that take place before the draft? Or is it more up in the air than that.

    https://sports.bovada.lv/baseball/mlb-season-props Personally think the best looking bets are the Braves (over), Houston (under), Brewers (over), Pirates (over), Mariners (under), and Nationals (under).

    The 74.5 win over/under is just 3 games under the Twins historical mean of 77.5 wins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_all-time_Major_League_Baseball_win-loss_records The Twins have been rebuilding for 116 years.

    Could use a backup goalie.

    So, Park's dongs, are they coming against fastballs?
  8. Willihammer
    I wish I had eaten more of the items on that list. I haven't even heard of some of these places.
  9. Willihammer
    I'd draw the line at "if you can order from your car" but whatever, I won't press the point. Van's list stands... for now.

    Pretty sure all burgers are made to order at Five Guys. That is a step up from pre-made heat lamp style places like McDonalds, etc. To me that is fast food.
  11. Willihammer
    They're made to order aren't they? Like MyBurger and Smash Burger?

    I just wonder about the "two-way" pitcher helium. After all, Jake Arrieta had the highest wRC+ among pitchers last year with a 91. Whereas at catcher- the next "easiest" position to be a two-way player, 14 guys had wRC+'s above 91. In other words, its relatively hard to be a two-way catcher, compared to a two way pitcher. People talk about Greene like he has a safety in his bat if the pitching doesn't work out. Well, depends where he is on the diamond. If he can stick at SS, then yeah maybe there is a real net there. If he's gotta play 3rd or OF, how much of a net does he really have?
  13. Willihammer
    What are the chances Greene sticks at SS? A two-way SS / closer would be cool.
  14. Willihammer
    I guess the peanuts are fast.
  15. Willihammer
    Is Five Guys fast food?

    I know this might not fit but didn't want to start a new thread. Carter Capps is breaking the rules right? https://twitter.com/Padres/status/831917274227281920/video/1

    Buffett's annual statement to shareholders is up. Worth a read even if you aren't a shareholder. http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2016ltr.pdf

    Bump Gonsalves to AAA, Romero to AA, and drop one of the non-roster guys at AAA?
  19. Willihammer
    According to Seth's organizational depth chart Chattanooga is lining up something like: Stephen Gonsalves (22), Felix Jorge (23), Tyler Jay (22), Kohl Stewart (22), Randy Rosario (22), Keaton Steele (25) Jorge and Rosario are the only 2 on the 40 man. And in AAA: Jason Wheeler (26), Adalberto Mejia (23), Aaron Slegers (24), Nick Tepesch (28), David Hurlbut(27), Drew Rucinski (28), Nick Greenwood (29), Yohan Pino (33) Mejia is the only one there on the 40 man.

    At the very least if they're going to roll with Molitor in 2017, then extend him now so he can at least play the kids and not play for his job. A lame duck manager on a team that should be giving a new wave of talent its lumps seems counter-productive. And if they're not going to roll with him for the next 2-3 years, then they should have replaced him.
  21. Willihammer
    Maybe Viola's a genius, but he had a lot of raw talent - Wheeler was a #6 pick, Thor throws 100, OTOH DeGrom is a 9th rounder who they turned into a solid starter, although its not like he turned it around in AAA. He was lights out starting in A-. Same with Matz. Not sure how much credit Viola deserves for that rotation. Plus there are those schticky "lose 45 pounds in 2 weeks" commercials. The ones where you take a magical pill and don't exercise or change your diet, and the guy pimping them is clinically obese.
  22. Willihammer
    They have to start him in Chattanooga right?
  23. Willihammer
    Elbow?
  24. Willihammer
    I wouldn't either, depending on the price.

    Not very new but been listening to a lot of ELO lately. "jungle" takes me right back to my childhood living room in Brooklyn Center. The green carpet with the pine desk that served as a stand for the record player. And the screw folded over to lock the drawer shut. Wonder what was in that drawer...
