    It's more fun when a few of the list get posted here. Given today is the deadline go ahead and post it here.

    If more then 3 or 4 don't get in this year the ballot is going to be to full for the next 8 to 10 years with no doubt about it first ballot hall of famers Bonds and Clemens getting 2 votes on most ballots every year and falling short. But it's OK the lesser steroid users who were not the media focus will skate by!!! Why put the greatest player in the last 50 years in the hall of fame when you can just talk about his head being a different size.

    He died in 2013 technically.

    I need new flooring in my house. I purchased some middle of the road flooring. It was a bad purchase because it wasn't a new car.
  5. mikecgrimes
    I got my list in, I win if I'm the only one playing!!!

    If they sign one to many starters, you just throw someone in the bullpen, and come June or July your in a good position to make a trade. As long as we're not spending 10 million plus on 4 different guys who cares how many we sign. If someone like Garza were to sign with us at this point they know what there getting into, and as long as that doesn't push Hughes or Nalasco out who cares about everyone else, it's there job to earn a spot.

    I'm probably not as high as some on Price and given you would still have to pay Price I probably wouldn't make the deal, but that would be an exciting move. And until about 2020 I doubt you would regret it even if it started to become clear Sano was a borderline Hall of Fame prospect. Problem is you would be dealing with Tampa so either that deal wouldn't be available or Sano is that good.
  8. mikecgrimes
    Sano at his best is a 3rd baseman who hit's .280 with 40 HR's which is something you can't trade away for anything less then an ace plus, but he probably eventually ends up at 1st, is starting to run into injuries, and hit .236 in AA last year. If the return is right I cash him before he reaches the majors.
  9. mikecgrimes
    Agreed, massive upgrade to his one spot in rotation.
  10. mikecgrimes
    So far we have a major loss at catcher, a solid upgrade at 1st and a minor upgrade to the rotation. A lot more has to happen before I go above 75, and I know I will as I have a hard time seeing less then 90 every March. So might as well just get that out of the way giving the silliness of this question at this point. I see them winning 93 games in 2014.
  11. mikecgrimes
    What a dud of a year so far, my only good pick Randy Travis refused to die, no young deaths at all really and George HW Bush who seemed like a sure thing at this point last year seems to be doing just fine. Time to start scouting for sure things in 2014.
  12. mikecgrimes
    It sounds like this has a lot to do with the concussion so really thats the end of the discussion. I know he won't be dinged up often and his legs will be stronger, but this idea that means he will be a better offensive player I think is asking to much. It's asking an awful lot just to equal his 3rd best season at this point. Yes he is still in the end of his prime, but the years of catching don't go away. If he can equal last year plus 30 more games thats about all you can expect, he might hit 20 points higher he might hit 20 points lower, and at this point age could catch up with him at any point so dipping below .300 from this point forward would be no shock. If he finds a way to hit .350 with 20 HR great, but I don't expect it.

    As long as Matt Cooke is on the ice there isn't a team anyone hates more then the Wild, could build some nice rivalries. Too bad I can't possibly support the Wild while he's around. It might be fun to hate Cooke but I have no time to find out if I could somehow find a way to like him, and until everyone from the owner on down is replaced I will not pay a single cent to watch the Wild or buy any merchandise.

    The player would have to do steroids on his own, anything else would be a more severe crime then rape. I don't care how the league would choose to handle the team that in this case benefits, but a lot of options exist.
  16. mikecgrimes
    Non playing Twins employees get 6 weeks with pay. Also the Twins don't have much say in the matter. The law allows leave without pay.

    Lets be really clear. Major league baseball has rewarded A-Rod and Ryan Braun financially for using steroids even with Braun's suspension and even assuming a lifetime ban for A-Rod. Until contracts are voided and lifetime bans are handed out a guy like Trevor Plouffe would be a fool not to use even if there was a 99% chance of being caught eventually. Those kind of penalties clearly made sense in respect to the products being used in the 80's and early 90's. I have no clue, but it seems these days you hear less and less about deaths that can be linked to steroids. Of course that could just mean that the products used these days will kill you at 55 or 60 instead of 45. I've never liked the fact that the stated reason that we should be anti steroid is because Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds hit to many Home Runs, this is a health issue and to some extent a legal issue. Everything an athlete chooses to put in or chooses not to put in his body comes with performance in mind as it should be.

    If you think race matters more then what he was wearing you're a fool. I think people want to ignore the possibility that the facts of the case didn't require Zimmerman to lie to investigators.
  19. mikecgrimes
    Look at Mikko Koivu's production from year 1 to year 2. If 2 out of Coyle Brodin Zucker and Granlund make that jump they are much better. Between Parise Suter and Koivu you are pretty close to a great team. If nothing goes crazy injury wise this should be a 4 or 5 seed. Cooke is a good move if he avoids suspensions and can still play that pathetic dirty style that has no place in this league. Between Cullen Clutterbuck Gilbert and Seteguchi we didn't lose a heck of a lot.
  20. mikecgrimes
    How many votes will he really though if he finishes .225 with 18 HR's. I really like his future but unless the average gets above .240 or he hit's 15 second half HR's he's going to be an easy guy to not vote for.
  21. mikecgrimes
    Thats just silly. More people are killed by tripping on the sidewalk. I would never carry a gun but the idea that criminals can know with nearly 100% confidence I am no threat to them is pretty scary. Zimmerman defended himself and in doing so it was a tragic result. Most people killed by guns do something pretty stupid leading up to it. Oh well.
  22. mikecgrimes
    The exact quote was "you don't have to do that" also although it is unclear Zimmerman claims he did not follow him. This is a pretty simple case that blew up on twitter and then in the media mostly on really bad information and in the case of NBC doctoring the 911 tape pathetic reporting. Zimmerman didn't get arrested that night for a reason. You couldn't get a conviction with an all black jury. A year and a half of Zimmerman's life has been wasted behind bars, there's going to be hell to pay for a lot of people involved in this case. Moral of the story if you get in an altercation GUNS ARE ALLOWED so don't get in an altercation you don't need.

    Randy Travis could get me back in the game. Nothing like country music alcoholics.
  24. mikecgrimes
    It would be a shame if Kyle Gibson reaches his innings count. I don't know why there was any hype for a guy who blew up in the minors about every 4th start.

    Always park North of the stadium even if you live south. I can get from my seat to my bed in less then 30 minutes, if you park Metrodome side you'll still be downtown.
