    How about Led Zeppelin “Fool in the Rain”? And I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless. When I'm breathless I'll run 'til I drop.

    We now know, after Phil Miller’s piece. They were at and stayed at 4/84, but he wanted 100. So they budged, added 8 more guaranteed as a part of the 5th year for 16, and that got it across the finish line. Along with a push from Mardy Fish and Miguel Sano. Nice job, Mardy and Miguel!

    This was from Jan 2. I think the only thing left to ask is who is more productive in 2020, Anthony Rendon or Josh Donaldson?
  4. AlwaysinModeration
    Twins now have #3, #4, and #6 on this list.
  5. AlwaysinModeration
    I think we can all agree that if that option gets exercised, we all will be happy.

    What’s funny is the reports of the Twins making an $80-$85mm offer, and also a $100mm offer...were both accurate!
  7. AlwaysinModeration
    I think this signing is the biggest free agent signing ever by the Twins by....40 million.
  8. AlwaysinModeration
    (Other than being bad at math,) nailed it.
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    Excellent. He made 23 last year, 23 the year before, and 4/92 is 4x23.
  10. AlwaysinModeration
    Bring the Purple Rain!

    They will tie the NFL record for fewest first downs in a game.
  12. AlwaysinModeration
    They are literally not going to use any of their timeouts.
  13. AlwaysinModeration
    108 yards. Plus the four sacks—do they have under 100 net yards.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    I can’t believe they actually still ran on first down. And then threw another screen.
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    Run on first down here, right?
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    It’s nothing if not predictable.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    And by good game plan....I hope to see a bit of creativity and a bit of aggressiveness on offense. Those last three drives in the fourth quarter against the Saints when they could have put the game away with some first downs were...pretty uninspired.
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    I’d say the Vikings have at least a 35-40% chance to win. Let’s hope the coaches have a good game plan, and some bounces go their way.

    One thing I noticed about both Kepler and Garver last year was how they both seemed to elongate their follow-through forward through the point of contact. Instead of a natural spinning/wraparound follow-through (Sano is the classic example of the wraparound rotation on his follow-through), they seem to extend their hit plane up and forward. Rosario does it in an exaggerated fashion (always has), and Buxton seemed to do it a lot last year too. To me it seemed like these four guys were all trying to lengthen the amount of time that their bat stayed on the same plane through the hit zone. Am I imagining this, or is this something that others noticed as well? Edit: Kepler: Garver:

    Fun exercise. Thanks for doing this. In my view, if you are talking about most valuable assets to an organization, service years factor large. Therefore, I don’t think Nelson Cruz, at age 40, signed for one season, should be in this list. He could put up the same numbers as last year, but it’s unlikely. Odorizzi falls in the same realm—although if he were signed to a Jose Abreu-like extension, he could easily turn into a much more valuable asset. I think I’d view Lewis Thorpe and Keoni Cavaco as more valuable assets for the organization. Honestly, take a look at Thorpe’s last three years. 10-11K/9, under 3 BB/9, FIP of 3.7 or under. And this is with high BABIP. I think he should be in the rotation to start the year, and could stick. Cavaco is obviously a wildcard, with a rocky small sample first year. But if he has a good year, he shoots up their boards (while Cruz and Odorizzi are gone.)

    Didn’t see that, thank you.
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    Hmmm. Fair point.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Taking it with a grain of salt, but that’s a fun report. Except for the second-to-last bullet point.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Just want to note that 4/92 is closer to 100 than 85. Donaldson made 23 each of the past two years, and 4/92 is 23/year. Also, the Nats could have a higher dollar offer with lots of money defered. (This is assuming everything in that report is accurate.)
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    You read that in a different thread, an anonymous, random tweet from an account called “AtlantaBaseballInsider”, who insisted that Donaldson had agreed to the deal Friday afternoon, and it would be announced Monday evening after Donaldson returned from vacation. It doesn’t seem to have held water, considering the fact that it is now Tuesday evening, he isn’t signed, and various reports are saying the Nats and Twins are still somewhat in the mix.
